Now. the submarine Is like nothing

Since U. s. 8. X-17 and her sisters
of this hotilla have been on the base
there has been no enemy submarine in
these waters. But she's just as likely
to get shot up by one of her frenzied
friends. So that her first rule at sea
is: When in doubt, duck. Play diver.
She has always had her own pecul-

a quick dive she may leave a hatch

porpoise she may lift a hatch; and
in either case II the sea get to her

Or her diving rudders may jam. Or
she may leak, and the deeper she
goes the worse it gets. Or gas may
accumulate in her crank pits.
But on top of all these little wor-
ries she has to lead the life OF an
outlaw, ready to open valves and

marine school at. New London and in his

his second. So a beneficent government

BUREAU HANDS
Committee
Chairman Makes This
Statement at Hearing.

It's UP to Secretary McAdoo. not
to Congress, says Chairman sher-
ley. of the Appropriations Commit
tee. to see that the women employ
ed in the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing receive fair wages. His
statement was made at a hearing
yesterday afternoon on the sundry
civil bill. following the testimony
of Miss Gertrude McNally, secretary
of the Woman's Union of the bu-
reau. who asked the committee. in
behalf of her organization to in
crease the bureaus appropriation in
order to bring the girls up to a
decent wage.
They now receive, she said. but
s1.92 to s2.24 per day-+07O women
plate printers assistants. counters,
examiners and other operatives who
work on the national currency, pos
tage stamps, liberty bonds. etc.
Pay Not Fixed by Law.
The pay of the women operatives,
said Chairman Sherley. is not fixed
by law, but is left to the Judgment
of the administrative officials. and
the estimates for the bureau for
the coming year as submitted by
the Secretary of the Treasury ap-
parently do not provide for the de-
sired increase for the women op-
eratives. although it was testified
| that Director wilmeth had express
ed his desire to increase the entire
female force to a minimum of $75
per month.
IF Mr.. Wilmeth feels that there
should be an increase in pay for
the women employees" said Chair
man Sherley. but that he Is unable
to make the increase under the esti-
mates submitted. he and the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury should take
the responsibility of submitting ad-
ditional estimates for this purpose.
They have always the privilege OF
sending in supplementary figures,
IL the original estimates are not ade-
quate."
1t was brought out in the testi-
mony that Director Wilmeth had
stated that the recent increase of 10
per cent to plate printers and their
assistants was made possible
through reimbursible work done by
the bureau. but that most Of this
noHey obviously WOulQ pc cOnSum-
ed in the increases to the plate
printers, who are men. and who
were already earning from IS to 50
per day.
Increases To 1900 Only.
The increase to the 1900 women
who are their assistants amounted
to but II cents per day. and left
nothing at all for the rest of the
women operatives. This statement
called forth emphatic comment from
Chairman Sherley. who declared
that ii would seem far more rea-
sonable to divide the available funds
among the poorly paid women work.
ers than to give most Of 1t to men
who were already earning q fair
living. at least.
Chairman Sher1ey stated that no
response had been received from
secretary McAdoo to the request of
the Women's Trade Union League
that he wire Mr.. Shirley asking for
an increased appropriation in be-
half Of the bureau girls.
