D. c. EMPLOYEES TO
PRESS DEMAND FOR
BASEPAY INCREASE

The employees Of the District are to.
day preparing to press their demands
for an increase in their base pay
when the hearings on the District ap,
preparation bill are resumed before
the Sisson subcommittee OF the House
after the Christmas holidays.
Definite steps for such action were
taken at sl-meeting OF the District
branch of the Federation of Federal
Employees at the Chamber OF Com
merce last night, in addition to de-
termination to actively support the
Kesting bill, which provides for q 5
to so per cent emergency Increase for
Federal and District employees alike.
Resolutions were adopted at the
meeting thanking Commissioner
Brownlow for his efforts urging an
increase in the base pay before the
Sisson committee.
shows Low Base Pay.
That District employees have been
paid for forty-three years on a scale
that was reduced as a temporary
measure in 1874. because Of the poor
financial condition OF the city at
that time, was the statement made
by Joseph Il. Hurley, president OF
theg District local of the employees
organization. The base pay of the
District workers has since remained
lower than the base pay OF the Fed
eral employees. averaging $3.50 per an
mum as against $e4s for the latter.
President Hurley declared that the
question Of an increase in the base
pay was a separate matter from the
emergency increase provided in the
Keating bill and urged that any emer-
gency increase affecting the District
workers be figured on the new base
schedule. He said that from all re-
ports he has received Congress was
favorably inclined toward justice for
the District workers and would like
ly take favorable action both as to the
base Increase and the emergency In
crease.
Compensation Bill.
Resolutions urging favorable Con-
gressional action on the Caron-Mc-
Gillicuddy bill for the compensation
of disabled District workers were
adopted The District Commissioners
have no authority under the law now,
1t was pointed out, to assist any OF
the sixty-one workmen who have been
disabled in the District service.
The hearing before the House Post
office subcommittee on the question
Of increasing the salaries OF postal
employees was adjourned at the con-
clusion Of yesterdays session to jan
uary Z.
When hearings are resumed ad-
ditional time will be granted the ad-
vocates OF the increase who may de-
sire to be heard. Chairman Bell OF
the subcommittee has received no re-
quests from persons opposing the pro-
posed increase TO be heard, but he
said today officials OF the oostoffcs
Department may want to be heard in
rebuttal regarding certain testimony
concerning the policy Of the depart
ment adduced so far at the hearings.
