EMPLOYERS URGED TO GIVE
w.. S. S. AS XMAS PRESENTS

That employers whose custom IT Is
to give Christmas remembrances to
The Washington times., 1918-12-16

their employees annually. let such
bonuses take the form Of war savings
or thrift stamps this year, Is the sug-
gestion emanating from the District
War Savings Committee. In letter
from d. J. Callahan, director OF the
District committee and addressed to
the leading employers of the city, the
idea Is explained in the following
manner:
I'VE need your assistance very
much toward the close OF our year In
helping to put over the Districts
quota OF war savings stamps sales.
1t has occurred to our committee that
this year you could help Uncle Sam
by giving war savings or thrift
stamps to your employed as a bonus
in place of cash or other gifts, and
thus perform a most beneficial serv-
ice both to them and the doveEnment
Z I'VE will be glad to make Il easy
for you in that the committee will
send the stamps and a personal rep
resentative to your establishment in
order that the transaction may be
promptly and satisfactorily handled"
Several large employers have al
ready signifed their intention of fol-
lowing a plan similar to that outlined

BERBERICH TOTAL
MAY BE 500, 900

With returns still incomplete there
Is every indication that the total
sales in the letter carriers war saw
ings stamps selling contest will ex-
coed 100000. Whether this is suffi-
cient to assure the realization of the
District of Columbia's war savings
stamps quota for the year-approxi-
mately $500. .0Oo-cannot yet be de-
termined.
The contest which closed Saturday
covered a period OF ten days and was
the sixth event of its kind held dur
ing the year. Cash prizes donated by
Berberich's. totaling $1,000, were at
stake. to be divided among the thirty
four men making the highest sales in
the three districts into which the city
was divided for the purpose OF the
competition.
The results will be made known
late this afternoon, the difficulty in
receiving and tabulating the returns
from the various branch stations pre-
Guiding an earlier announcement.
II the estimate as above given
proves correct. the showing Is re-
markable, according to postoffice Of
ficials. Notwithstanding the unfa-
vorable conditions for sales at this
time, in view OF the approaching holi-
day season and the fact that the conr
testants were handicapped in their
work through the handling OF the
heaviest mails of the year, this high
total was piled up through the de-
termined efforts OF the contestants.

McAD0o URGES RAISE
FOR CUSTOMS EMPLOYEES

One OF the last acts OF William G.
McAdoo before resigning the office
Of Secretary OF the Treasury was to
ask Congress to increase the salaries
Of employees in the customs service.
He did so because the cost OF living
has increased 100 per cent since 1885
and average salaries in the customss
service have been increased less than
II per cent in that time.
In a letter to the Speaker OF the
House, Mr.. McAdoo asks that a mimi
mum salary OF s. per day be allowed
to inspectors OF customs, with corre-
spending increases for other customs
employees. The estimate for the next
fiscal year for defraying the cost Of
collecting the customs revenues Is,
therefore. increased from $1O.00o,O0o
to $11 .3S5. .464.
The increased cost OF living, Mr..
McAdoo points out, bears most
heavily on those receiving an annual
salary OF less than S1.400.

SWISS WOULD ANNUL
ST. G0THARD CONVENTION

Switzerland is expected TO ask the
peace conference to annul the St
Gothard convention. by which she
granted special freight rates to Ger
many and Italy over the well-known
st. Gothard railroad, connecting those
countries.
The agreement conflicts with Presi-
dent Wilson's demand for removal OF
economic barriers, according to Swiss
authorities.
Germany and Italy were allied
when the road was developed. and
they promised to do everything pos
sible to facilitate traffic over the con-
Meeting line in return for rate conces-
sions. The war stopped this traffic
completely. and Switzerland wants
the right to make her own tariffs.
