Sidelights on the War
-BY-
OLIVER OWEN KUHN.

Thousands of Americans undoubt-
edly will return to America from
France with souvenir tattoos. 1t is
becoming quite a fad for allied SOL
diers to have placed on their arms
or bodies pictures Of tanks. airplanes.
cannon and other implements of war.
No longer are animals and snakes
popular. Great accuracy is insisted
upon by the men, and tattoo artists
are in great demand. They are get
ting from Ave to twenty francs for
their work.
Before the war and up to compar-
atively recent date the first lord Of
the British admiralty occupied lux
British department. A bureau which
handles questions relating to German
submarines now has moved in. Rooms
once filled with trophies now are
given over to secretaries and typists.
Though the kaiser may speak OF the
fortitude of the German people and
declare that Germany is not suffering,
recent visitors to Berlin tell differ
ent story. Here's what a Swiss mer-
German capital:
Men, women and children alike
bore in their faces the signs Of suf-
fering and absolute want l had seen
that e year before, but only in pro-
portion Of the population. Now the
marks of famine were general; no
body had escaped the visitation. The
need of good square meal was writ
ten on the face Of every passerby, and
one shuddered at the appearance OF
some of the working women, SO
gaunt and wolfish In appearance were
they"
Just at the very time when Pat
should have been in action ne was
discovered by his sergeant hiding in
hole SO well out of danger that
not even a stray bullet was ever
likely to touch him.
"Get out of that hole imm ediately,"
roared the sergeant. DO you hear?
Get out of it,!
"Over Pats good-natured face came
a look of stubborn resistance.
Not me-" he answered boldly. You
may be my superior officer, but Ofm
the wan that found this hole first"
One trench newspaper ceased to ex-

Belgians are an optimistic people
and Notwithstanding the fact that
their country has been overrun and
they have been forced to go through
extremely trying personal expert

LABOR BOARD MAY
ACT ON BUREAU PAY
Subject Discussed in House
Debate on Sundry Civil
Appropriation Bill.
MISS RANKIN ADVOCATE

The contest for Increased pay for
! woman workers in the bureau of en-
craving and printing will probably
be carried to the War Labor Board,
which is to standardize wages as
means of meeting the acute labor
situation.
The pay of the bureau employees
was the principal subject of discussion
during debate on the S2,500,00o,O0O
| sundry civil appropriation bill, with
Miss Rankin championing the cause
of the workers.
Chairman Sherley of the appropria-
tions committee told the House he
believed it would be the policy of
, the board to standardize wages
wherever possible as a means of pre-
venting men from leaving one en-
| ployment for another where higher
wages offered an inducement.
Mr.. Gillett Doubts Its Wisdom.
Acting Republican Leader Gillett
declared he believed the labor of the
country would be held in the grasp
Il
wisdom of comforting so much power
on it.
When the measure was passed. cut
ting to nearly half the increases asked
for the bureau employees by Director
Wilmeth, which were approved by the
President and the Senate, a brief con-
ference was held at the Capitol by
officers of the Women's Union. the
National Federation of Federal En-
ployes and the Women's Trade Union
League, and Miss Rankin, 1t was
agreed that the question probably
would be taken to the War Labor
Board.
The House conferees-Chairman
Sherley and Representatives Byrnes
and Mondell-contended that the
House allowance! was ample" to pro-
vide fair" wage for all employees
of the bureau.
Miss Rankin's Statement.
Miss Rankin, discussing the ques-
ton in the House yesterday, said. in
part:
IT would like to answer some of
the general statements that have been
made about the bureau Of engraving
and printing by introducing some
figures.

pensation for plate printers and plate

, Wilmeth, the present director, put in
a supplemental estimate. Mr.. Ralph's
estimate did not provide for any in
crease in wages that we know Of
Mr.. Wilmeth's estimate provides for
a $270.000 increase for plate printers
and plate printers assistants. The
original estimate was increased $780,
900 by the House committee and
$4,000 by the Senate committee.
believe that is enough, considering the
amendment that 1 offered. which was
accepted by the House. and the Senate.
In regard to skilled workers that
amendment is compensation for en-
ploycs.' The original estimate put in
by NJ. Ralph was for s1,640.0o0 The
House committee increased that es-
timate S91.600, making the total ap-
preparation in the House bill s1.731,-
900. In the Senate bill they increased
the appropriation the full amount es-
timated by Mr.. Wilmeth. to s2,039,1l8.

"Not on Scientific Basis"

The conference report brings in an
increase over the House appropria-
ton. according to my figures, of
s68,400. To show that these estimates
are not made on the basis of pay /
want to remind the committee that
the estimate for the plate printers
was brought in round numbers to
100000. The estimates for the com
pensation for employees. at s1.S00.O00,
which was round number, increased
the appropriation for the compensa-
tion of employees only $6s.400, while
those who needed 1t the least were in
creased $4,000. SO that these esti-
mates have not been made on a scien-
tif1c basis"
In reply to questions from Repre-
sentative Sher1ey, in charge of the
bill, Miss Rankin said: According to
Mr.. Wilmeth's estimates there are
2s9 women in this division who are
receiving s1.s2. To increase them to
$224 day would take 100000. There
are 307 women who are receiving So
q day. To increase them to $2.35
would require $4,000 There are
1,341 women who are receiving $2.24
a day. To increase them to $3.50
would require $4,000. There are Ill
women who are receiving s2.31 a day,
and to increase them to $3.50 a day
would require $6,50o-a total of about
100000.

"Below Standard of Living"

Granting that the repay work
would be the largest amount sug-
gested-one-third- of $4,000
would leave $4,000. Tsis sum taken
only 100000 for the 4S3 skilled help
ers that are receiving s2.31 a day. In
adding to this the 1920 raise which
all federal employees are to receive,
the American standard of living"
According to H. NJ. McLarin. presi-
dent of the National Federation of
Federal Employees. the sum provided
win permit an increase to plate print
ers' assistants from s1.92 to S2.24 per
day The maximum pay will be about
$242 per day. Those employees who
were on the rolls prior to July l.,
1917. will receive the 1920 per year
special war increase, and this will
s275 per day. The minimum asked
for was $2.sS per day.
Will Continue Efforts.
The bureau women have made a de-
termined fight for their increase. and
have been seconded throughout by Di-
rector Wilmeth. Miss Rankin, the
National Federation Of Federal En-
ployes. the Women's Trade Union
League and the organized men of the
bureau. According to Miss Gertrude
Union, they will continue their efforts
until every woman in the bureau has a
wage sufficient to support herself in
rea asonable comfort.
'YThe most we asked for was $28s per
day." said Miss McNally, land nobody
can say that is exorbitant in these days
and times Seventy per cent Of us have
dependents. 1t is simply impossible to
live on the pay the women are receiving
at present. and the increase is only half
relief
What to do next to bring the bureau
women's wages up to the desired mini
mum will be the subject OF discussion

ems Trade Union League at the resi-
dence OF the league chairman, Mrs. Gif-

that the Germans have been unable to
