the action OF President Wilson In refus-
ing to invite to the recent Confessional
reception at the White House Representa-
tive Wood. of Indiana. author of the IA

Representative Wood was refused an in
vitation, it is said. because the resolution
intimated by question that some member
of the White House family or member
of the Cabinet shared in the alleged prof.
its resulting from a leak to the stock
market of the sending of the peace note
Mann expressed his views on the sub

expenses of the upkeep of the White

Representative Fitzgerald insisted that
invitations to the White House affairs
were not official.
Then, why do We pay for them?

GOTHAM TRADE BODY
SUPPORTS PRESIDENT
Approves Universal Military Training
and Would Arm u. S. Ships.
lRr thA InternationaI NeMs SerNict

CBy the International News Service.D }
New York, Feb. 26-The New York
Chamber of Commerce today voiced its
unanimous approval of universal military
training and pledged the President its
full support in the pending international
crisis.
Embodied in the action taken was a
recommendation that American mer-
chantmen ships be at once armed and
manned for defense and a declaration of
belief that any attack upon them be re-
garded as a cause for war.
The fiat conviction was expressed that:
I'VE are on the verge of war with a
great military power, yet We are prac-
tically defenseless."
Preparedness upon a broad. comprehen
sive scale was advocated. A further res
olution pledged the chamber to the prin-
ciple of restricted profits in war supplies

Federal Clerks Win Victory
AS Senate Agrees to Raise

Federal and District employees won
their greatest victory-one that brings
them within sight of the promised
goal-when the Senate last night
voted, 80 to 22, to recede from their
disagreement with the House and ac-
cept the FIVE and ten per cent graded
increases of the lower branch.
Since November 20, The Washing
ton Herald has been advocating the
necessity of granting some measure
of relief to Federal and District en-
ployes from the high cost of living
through increased salaries. Both SEN
ate and House have agreed the cause
was just, but they have been in ap-
parent hopeless disagreement as to
the degree of relief that would be
given.
La Toilette Makes Plea.
The compromise affected puts S26, 900. 600
into the pockets of Federal and District
employees annually. and was accomplished
after a masterful speech by Senator La
Toilette, who urged that the Senate back
down in its insistence on the Smoot
amendment and accept the terms of the
House.
For days House and Senate have been
deadlocked as to the terms of the in
crease. The House has insisted on 10 per
cent increases for employees up to and
including the 200 grade and per cent
for employees between $500 and 81, 800.
The Smoot amendment provided increases
of Is per cent for those receiving $3.50
year or less and 10 per cent for those be-
tween $3.50 and $1,000
