PUTSAVERAGEPAY

President McLarin of U. S.
Employees Federation Gives
Startling Figures.
INCREASED PAY IS URGED

The average pay Of government en-
ployes is $s4s per annum: the cost OF
living per family in the District OF Co
lumbia for 1916 was $1.0s2.sO: the IN
crease in cost necessities during 1917
over 1916 is 80 per cent. according to
President H. NJ. McLarin Of the Ma
tional Federation Of Federal Employees
In a statement made last night.
President McLarin says. pointing out
why government pay should be in
creased Immediately:
The latest figures as to the average
pay of all government employees are
those of the census bureau compiled In
1907. but they are correct, for there
have been no changes In government
salaries, except that many people have
been hired at pay even lower than that
existing at that time. These figures
show that the average was s94S per
annum for classified civil service en-
ployes of the United States. TINS
means that half received less than s94s
and half received more than S94s. Dut
less than per cent received as mucn
as $500 per annum.
These same figures Will apply TO-DAY
except that the number OF low salaries
is larger.
