CONFIDENT
OF LARGER SALARIES
Senator Pomerene Will Try to Add
Retirement Plan as Rider.

Federal employees yesterday took up the
night for Increased wages and better
working conditions with renewed viEor
Following the Senate vote which assured
them some advance In salary.
While the legislative bill was not
passed yesterday, and while it was an
nounced that q separate vote VIII be
asked on the Smoot amendment never
theless the Federal employees feel that
the Senate win ratify the note indorsins
the increases provided by the Senator
from Utah.
Senator Pomerene today will attempt
to have his retirement bill added as
rider to the legislative bill. The BILL OF
the Senator Of Ohio provides for con-
tributory pension plan graded from four
to eight per cent for employees In the
Federal service.
Employees Disapprove.
The Pomerene bill does not meet with
approval from the Federal employees, ana
they will attempt to have passed another
amendment providing for a contributory
plan involving 2 per cent as maximum
for government workers.
The general feeling among members OF
the House and Senate as expressed yes
terday was that the Smoot amendment
met the acute situation as 1t EXISTS at
present, but that the and 10 per cent
increases provided by the House were
more equitable.
Representative Tague said: THE Sen

| amendment, but It will do better II II
| adopts the and 10 per cent graded in

Increase Imperative.
Conditions today make 1t imperative
for those who are working on salary to
have their compensation increased in

: 81 feel that 1t is high time for Con-
gress to recognize the advancing scale
OF all ordinary commodities. The bust.

the government should follow: in fact
| they should have taken the lead.
Five dollars day seems like a revo-
lutionary revision of the salary scale, but
IS a day, as a minimum wage, will be the
accepted standard before the passing OF
this generation"

Child Labor Condemned
By Young Hebrew Men

Characterizing child labor as an i'm
pediment to the proper development Of
future American citizens, the Young
Mems Hebrew Association advocated the
abolition of child labor at a meeting held
last night at the Eighth Street Temple.
The child of today is the citizen of
tomorrow" declared Judge Milton
Strasburger. IF you want seriously to
handicap the children to take up the
work Of their fathers, then burden them
with labor when they should be at school
developing their minds along lines calcu-
lated to make them equal to the prob
lens of the future. Drive them through
a daily existence of drudgery and toll
and you will dull their brains and render
them totally unfit to assume a high posi-
ton in after life"

to IS Representative Gardner insisted
that the deliberations should be open.
Representatives James and Champion, or
Michigan, were so incensed over what
they termed "star-chamber'' methods,
that they walked out of the hall evil
dencing disgust.
Republicans, by adopting a liberal plat
form. could depend upon 21s votes to elect
committee on rules. pledged to put

House, Representative Gardner stated
He also voiced the opinion that the same
number of votes would be cast for the
Republican candidate for Speaker.
Democrats spend money like drunken
sailors, but for all that, the people will
retain them in power in spite of Demo-
cratic Incompetence, II we turn our backs
on liberal legislation" Mr.. Gardner as
serted.
IF people could be shown that the Re
publican party would meet their desire
for progressive legislation. have no
doubt they would return us to power
with dispatches. I believe that through
out the country the liberal wing OF the
Republican party outnumbers the con-

publican members Of this House feel that
