TO KEEP UP FIGHT
FOR SALARY RAISE
Government Employees Hold
Mass Meeting at National
Rifles Armory.
TO PETITION PRESIDENT

Even though increased salaries may
not be provided by the present Con-
Sress for government employees. those
attendant upon the regular quarterly
meeting OF the Federal Employees
Union last night at the National Rifles
Armory, G street between 9th and 10th
streets northwest. were told that they
had taken very important step in or
Sanizing. While the speakers were not
inclined to be too optimistic over the
prospects of obtaining increases at this
session, nevertheless they indicated
that the fight would not be dropped.
Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of
the Department of Labor, was the prin-
cipal speaker. He told the employees
that their salaries in ordinary times
We're far too low, and that the need
now for increased salaries was greater
than ever
In ordinary times said Mr.. Post
the salaries of government employees
are not fair. But under the present
living conditions they have been re-
duced. You are not trying to get Con-
gress to provide increased salaries, but
to make up deficiencies in salaries that
have been reduced. You cannot now
get for dollar the same amount of
purchases that you did year ago.

NO WORD OF GRATITUDE
EXPRESSED BY POLES
Count Loebell Complains of Lack OF
Appreciation in Creation OF
State of Freedom.

LONDON, January 2o.-Count Fred
rich Won Loebell, Prussian minister OF
the interior, speaking in the Prusslan
diet, declared that the Poles Ought to
thank God on their knees for Polish
development under Prussian rule, ac-
cording to an Amsterdam dispatch to
Reuters. Count Lobell was replying
to the Polish deputy, Herr korfanty,
who complained that Polish hopes Tor
a revision of Prussian policy in Poland
had not been realized, and demanded a
full national and cultural equality with
the Germans.
Count Loebell complained that no
member of the Polish party had ut
tered word of gratitude for the mag
unanimous deed of the German en-
peror and the Emperor of Austria, who
after a century desired to give free
dom to the Polish race.
Socialist Deputy Hoffman, expressed
regret that the cutting off of debate
had prevented discussion of the peace
offer from the socialist standpoint. and
had also precluded speeches against
the unrestricted use of submarines.
The president of the diet ruled Depu-
ty Hermann out of order when he at
tempted to discuss the submarine ques-
ton, and the ruling was greeted with
applause. The house rose after the first
reading of the budget.

Sees Need of Organization.

Only by organization, he said, could
the employees expect to accomplish any
thing, and things worth while, he said
are not gained by staying at home. He
told them that they must continue to
work together He said that there are
great many people in the country
who would have something to say if a
congressman went back and said that
he voted for an increase in salary for
government clerks, for, he said, 5000 a
year looked mighty big to the man at
the crossroads grocery on a cold win
ter evening" man who had perhaps
never had more than $500 year in his
life He thinks he is being taxed for it,
said Mr.. Post.
There are a great many objections
made to the proposed increase in sal
aries of government workers. he went
on. but they are not substantial ones.
He said he knew that increases in the
salaries of employees were important.
Il hope very much that you will get
the increases in salaries, but if you
don't, you have made a great step in
| organization, and there is bound to
| come a reaction which will give you
| increased salaries in the end"

Should Get More for the Dollar.

You are not out for the dollars. for you
can't eat them. or wear them, or live in
them. But for those dollars you are
entitled to certain things, and when you
do not get for the dollars what you did
before, then your salaries have been re-
duced
Under present taxation methods the
revenue is paid by the people who do the
work and they work so hard to retain
The present system that they keep the
man who lives by the work of others
from paying his just share of the tax.
Now is the time for a change. | had
suggestion made to me the other day
Tor changing the present method and it is
TINS: Lay aside a certain amount each
year from the general revenue, say, for
instance, $500, 600, 900. Let's use that as
nest egg for the military fund. Every
year take similar amount. Now, if it is
necessary to make the preparedness
scheme any more expensive, let's raise
1t by rising surtax on incomes. AS the
need for such purposes is reduced then
reduce the surtaX accordingly, and as ii
rises then raise the tax accordingly. And
that If the country had that sort of tax
they wouldn't be having so much war
now"
Mr.. Post told the members of the
union that he was personally in sym
pathy with the efforts of the federal
employees and particularly with the fact
that the federal employees had organ
