Believing that existing conditions
warrant them in asking for an in
crease in salary, commensurate with
the present high cost of living, Den
Ver's police and firemen have initi-
ated a petition for a proposed char
ter amendment calling for raise of
SIS in their monthly stipend. The
measure will appear on the ballot at
the coming election as Amendment
No. 1, and, if carried, will become ef-
fective January 1, 1918.
majority of the men who will BEN
eft by the increase now receive from
$50 to S95 a month, out of which, in
addition to ordinary living expenses,
they are forced to meet the cost of
uniforms and other equipment neces-
sary to the performance of their du-
ties.
Statistics recently issued by the
United States Department of Labor
show that wages in practically every
other line of employment have in
creased 19 per cent since 1910.
Ninety per cent of the police and
firemen are married. Their families
range from two to nine persons. Fifty
per cent are taxpayers, who either
have, or at the present time, buying
homes on the instalIment plan. Many
of this latter class will be compelled
to sacrifice their homes unless the
raise is granted.
The proposed amendment already
has the Endorsement of score of la
Dor unions and of the Denver civic
and Commercial Association and the
Denver Motor Club.
