WASHINGTON. December 15.-Be-

Eecn increased less than l2 per cent
In that time. Secretary McAdoo asks
Congress to increase those salaries. In
Il letter to Speaker Champ Clark. ma de

tors OF customs with corresponding
increases for examiners of merchan-
disc. customs guards, openers ana

laborers and other employees.
The estimate for the next fiscal year
for defrayinG tl", cost of collecting
customs revenues is Increased from
s10.00O.0Oo to $11,3S5,0O0.
Mr.. McAdoo points out that the in
creased cost OF living bears most heav-
lily upon those receiving an annual sal
ary of less than S1,4O0 and makes the
point that since the war emergency
has passed and they cannot be longer
kept in the service from patriotic mo-
tives. unless they are better paid. many
employees are likely to resign and thus
ceriously cripple the customs service.

ports that the person called it not at

Under this arranEement, the rate for
