Red Cross Salaries

Recently there appeared in some
newspapers "a statement that thu
1fficers of the Red Cross Society
were the highest salaried of any
officers of any society doing relief
work in America and charged that
there were many on the pay roll
receiving from $4,000 to $4,000
per year.
Our attention has been called to
the American Red Cross page of
the Ladies Home Journal, an
official department edited and con-
Quoted by William Howard Taft,
chairman of central committee. On
this page there are many questions
answered concerning the manage
ment and operation of the Red
Cross in its relief work. Touching
on salaries Mr.. Taft says:
The Red Cross executives are in
reality the lowest-paid officials of
any organization of relief in
America. Mr.. Henry P. Dawson,
who left his desk as a partner in J.
P. Morgan & Co. to head the Red
Cross War Council, receives no
salary; Judge Robert S. Lovett,
chairman of the board of directors
of the Union Pacific Railroad, is
giving his services to the Red Cross
entirely without salary; Mr.. Taft's
salary is nothing; Miss Boardman' g
salary is nothing; Miss Delano's
salary is nothing. A great many
even of the clerks and stenogaphers
at the Washington Headquarters
are volunteers, working without
pay. Chapter secretaries in cities,
having all the executive work of
branches and auxiliaries to do, re-
seive smaller salaries than any
charity secretaries in their com
munities. 4"
