The Washington times., 1918-12-12

officials have been called before the
subcommittee dealing with salaries
and the House has found that 1t is
the widespread opinion of employing
agencies OF the Government that; in
view of the cost-of-living conditions,
liable to continue for some time. the
minimum salaries mentioned should
be paid to the classes of employees
named.
For many years the entrance salary
in the Government for stenographers
and typewriters and clerkships Of
that grade has been 5000 per year.
Often the eligibles accepted positions
paying as low as $720 per year and
there were thousands of minor posi-
tions for clerks paying as low as
ST20. some OF them $500.
Just before the closing of the war
the inadequacy of these salaries, eth
er in war. or peace times, was forcibly
presented to President Wilson, who
lost no time in asking the heads of
departments to name officials to con-
slider the questions involved. Chief
clerks and other officials reached the
unanimous conclusion that the best
interests of the Government would
be served by increasing the minimum
salaries, entirely eliminating the
question of justice and fairness to the
employees.
Opinion stands.
The ending of the war has not
changed the opinion OF executive Of
ficiaIs that low-grade Government
positions are too poorly paid, and that
they should be permanently raised.
The estimates for these increases
were submitted by the Secretary of
the Treasury as supplemental to the
regular estimates and members of
the House Appropriations Commit
tee are already raising the point that
they will be subject to points of or
der IL put before the House. The
House Committee does not like the
idea of supplemental estimates, it Is
stated. The disposition at this time
is to pass up the question of increas-
ed salaries beyond the probability OF
re-enacting the $40 per year bonus.
thereby leaving thousands OF under
paid employees in, the same status
they have been in for years.
In the House yesterday, when the
District appropriation bill was being
there was a tendency to

criticise Congressman Sisson, in charge
of the bill, for putting in items OF
so and less per month for laborers and
other workers.

aries. One was that Of a laborer In
the District courts, salary fixed at
$50 per month. 81 would want the
United States to pay this man so that
he might have three meals day. a

clared Mr.. JUL.
He could not get the salary In
creased.
The National Association OF Fed
eraI Employees is to be heard by the
House committees before the appro-
priation bills are reported out. This
organization is strongly opposed 10
the meager salaries paid by both the
Federal and District governments.
The whole strength Of the American
Federation of Labor is back of the
organization, which is affiliated with
the federation.
In the District government alone
there are over 5000 employees who ale
paid less than So per day. some Of
them far below that. Nearly two
hundred firemen in the entrance class
received less than $3 per day, and
yet congress wonders why the lre
department is unable 10 get men tn
complete it's quota and start the two
platoon system.
Labor Board Best.
High departmental officials are not
only urging n goodly increase in min
imum wages but the creation of a
regular labor board for equalizing
salaries and doing what is right by
Government employees. The employ
es should be represented upon this
board. 1t is admitted. In that way
the board would always get the view
point of the employees.
The proposed labor board would be
Constituted of representatives from all
departments and bureaus of the Gov
ernment and 1t would be in constant
touch with salary questions in the de-
partment prepared to report to Con-
gress. The opinion is that it should
bavei broad powers OF fixing fair SAL
aries.
