LIVING WAGE DEMANDED
FOR BUREAU EMPLOYEES
Assistant Secretary Moyle Tells
Congress of Peril of Losing
Services of Competent Workers.

A plea to the Senate appropriations
subcommittee in charge of the sundry
civil appropriation bill to increase the
wages of the employees Of the bureau
of engraving and printing was made
yesterday by Assistant Secretary
Moyle of the Treasury Department.
Secretary McAdoo has voiced his ap-
proval of estimates submitted by d.
rector Wilmeth.
Assistant Secretary Moyle made
plain to the committee the importance
of Congress granting the full amount
of money asked for. The estimates
submitted. amounting to $6s9,ooo'
contemplate an increase of wages SO
that the minimum will be s2.5S
day. surely great deal less than
what is commonly termed "a living
wage" The House of Representatives
allowed only s1s3.soo. or just enough
to bring the minimum wage up to
1924 day.
Assistant Secretary Moyle told the
committee that the officials were fear
full of losing great many trained
skilled employees unless appropria-
tions asked for are granted. num-
ber of committees of the girls have
recently appeared before Director
Wilmeth, asking increases in wages
which he is unable to grant with his
present limited appropriations.
The prevailing rates of pay at the
bureau, 1892 to 1924 a day. are SO low
that private Industries and CONNER
cial concerns in the District and else
where are offering much higher
wages, he said. Mattresses and sales
girls receive higher wages than those
paid in the bureau. Much better
wages can be secured in domestic
service Practically all hotels and
restaurants must soon employ wom-
an mattresses The opportunities for
women. not only in the District. but
throughout the country. are increas-
ing more and more rapidly each day
as the number of men drawn into the
war industries and into the Army
grows.
It was pointed out that it is vitality
important that the work of the bu-
reau of engraving and printing be ex-
peditiously and skilliully handled.
The present employees have had years
of training and are faithful to what
they consider their patriotic duty.
With the ever-increasing cost Of 1iv-
ing they will soon be forced by neces-
sity. however, to seek employment
elsewhere unless wages in the bureau
are increased. Should these employees
be thus forced out Of the bureau, the
work Of printing the liberty bonds,
bank notes, thrift stamps. war saw
/ ings stamps, revenue stamps, etc,
would be delayed and hindered.

Some Sweet Day.

Some day we'll see the dawn
of peace, some day the noise of
war will cease, and swords will
gather rust; the men who WELD
the saber now will march along
behind the plow, amid the flies
and dust. Some day the man
who fought and bled will have
a wreath upon his head, and
honors by the ton; and we'll .ad-
mire him as he walks, and say,
"He helped to knock the socks
from off the hideous Hun."
Some day the man who stayed
at home and titled the gumbo
and the loan, to give the ma
tions wheat, will find we've
marked his loyal game, and in
oar little hall of fame he'll have
a parquet seat. Some day the
men, and women, too, who
helped to see the struggle
through, with patriotic zeal, will
know the joy of duty done ,
they've helped in all the tri-
urnphs won, and, gee, how good
they'll feel! Some day the men
who growled and groaned when
in the war time they were boned
to cough up fifty cents, will be
SO lonesome they will swear, and
they will weep and rend their
hair, and put up loud laments.
They'll have acquired a punk
renown, and they can never live
it down in twice a hundred
years; their tears will flow in
streams and ponds as they clip
coupons from their bonds with
cheap mail order shears. The
man who fails to loosen UP will
find there's wormwood in his
cup when peace has come again;
for him there1l be no cordial
hand in any corner of the land
where there are loyal men.

"POLlTICS ADJOURNED"

Politics in Arkansas is adjourned. This explains the coming election in a nutshell. Even the proposed amend ments to the new constitution have created little or no discussion.
 It is probable that all amendments will be accepted by the voters The majority will probably vote in favor of the various amendment on the ground that nothing better can be se- cured.
 It is true the convention delegates proved a disappointment to the citi- zens. who hoped for reforms of wide broad and constructive form. However such amendments or proposed are improvements over the old.
 The greatest fault or shortcoming of the entire proposition is in the mat. ter of issuing bonds. The convention apparently were loath to trust the citizens of the various counties, cities and towns to expend their own mon eys for improvements.
 Other states have extremely broa( laws in this regard. The recent con vention started on the right track - halted the construction just abou where the constructive tracks shoult have been builded.

WILSON'S ATTITUDE,

In previous correspondence of an interTogatory nature with Germany President Wilson has acquitted him. self with efficient diplomacy and at the same time firmness.
 Further correspondence with Ger many at this time now appears out of all bounds of reason. Judging by dispatches from this alien-country of vandals, murderers and rapists, it is now useless expense, time and ef- fort to attempt to ascertain "what is what" The Allied armies can better ascertain true conditions and true feelings of the German folks by a personal visit.
 Germany it appears is not ready for peace. She is ready for peace but not at our terms Further negotia- tions at this time it would appear are wasted. It is probable that President Wilson and other American officials will take this view of the matter.
 England and France who are much nearer the true state of affairs as re. gards proximity of territory arrived at this conclusion with the reception of the answer from Prince Max to President Wilson's not of inquiry.

 There are several thousand of these ambulance men, many of whom were members of college units. with the French, and a scheme has been devised by the Knights of Columbus to get supplies to them.
 It was impossible to send Knight of Columbus secrstary to each of the units, for there are only about ten men in each of them, but Colonel Percy Jones, their commander. has appointed some of his force as "act- ing secretaries" and to them are sent bundles of cigarettes, chocolate, ath- letic maWrial and stationery from the Knights of Columbus headquart- CTS on the first day of every month

REQUESTS CONGRESS- TO
 FORBID FURTHER FARLEY WITH GERMANY FOR PEACE

Washington, Oct. 21.-Senator PoindeNter of Washington, Repu'bli- can. introduced joint resolution to- day proposing that congress forbid further negotiations by the United States with Germany looking to the granting of all armistice or peace until the German military forces have surrendered internationally. It was referred to the foreign relations committee.
 The resolution further calls for the prosecution of the war with the ut most vigor and the occupation and control by the allies of such German territory as can be obtained by our 1nilitary forces until peace negotia- tiGns have been concluded. It would declare it unlawful for any official of the American government to an- swer in any way any note, message or representation from the German government or the German people or from any official representing or pur- porting to represent them on the subject of peace or an armistice un- til the German armed forces have surrendered.

 Coming elections next month are on the politicians horizon. As con- sequence the "cotton committee" is taking a quiet snooze' and in the in- terim the western senators and poli- ticians are putting out wheat feel ers.' In all probability the price of $24S for wheat will be secured.
 At this ratio how will it be explain ed that only thirty-five or even forty cents for cotton. is an equitable price? !? At this ratio for wheat seventy or perhaps ninety cents pound for cot ton would not be out of the bounds of reasons.
