SAYS CLERKS ARE WILLING TO
DO EXTRA WORK WITHOUT PAY
Representative Addison I. Smith, Former
Clerk, Pleads Cause of Underpaid
Government Employees.

Charnpioning the government clerks as
patriotically willing at all times TO work
extra hours as called upon without extra
pay, Representative Addison T. Smith of
Idaho, who was a government clerk him
self thirty years ago, today declared IT
an economic duty of Congress to legislate
for reclassifcation, retirement and IN
creased pay for government clerks. He
also urged increased salaries for the
school teachers here. who he says are
paid less than in any other section of the
country.
Representative Smith takes Congress to
task for arguing much about the Bor-
land amendment. when the clerks are al
ready working overtime and willing to
work whatever hours may be necessary.
and says Congress might better use its
time for constructive legislation. He says.

Baltimore responded. and for nearly
three months this work continued, and
no additional compensation was re-
ceived. Ii during a tune of peace the
clerks were so willing to work extra
hours. they would certainly do so now,
when at war. SO why humili-
ate them by threatening to pass a law
to compel them to do something which
they would do cheerfully on request of
the head of their department?
The necessity OF substantial IN
crease of salary must be apparent to
any well Informed person.
Wives Must Skimp and Economize.
The greatest fnanciers in Washington
today are the wives OF the government
clerks. VINO compelled to skimp and
economic in order to make the small
salary meet the constantly increasing de-
mdndS of the grocer and rnarketman.
Congress should grant immediate and
substantial increases. and before the ses-
sion closes law should be enacted clas-
styling salaries according to the duties to
De performed. In addition, retirement
system should he created which would
enable the government to retire the aged
clerks and till their places with younger
and more efficient men and women. and
at the time do justice to those who
have S-pent their best years iii the service.
Twenty years ago. when milk sold
for cents quart. butter for 20 cents
d pound and eggs Is cents a dozen. a
Sl,20D clerk with Il famly 10 support
could scarcely make ends meet. Now.
with these prices three, and in some in
stances four. times high, We can
readily see that $1,000 clerk cannot
possibly support his family and furnish
them with substantial food. com
Portable clothing and respectable
place in which to live. As a result.
thousands of low salaried clerks are
mourning Indebtedness which they can
not pay taking their children from
school to aid in meeting the ever-in-
creasing bills. and many of them are
resigning from the service to engage
in private employment at higher
ompensation. New clerks take their
places. and in Il short time many of
them realize that they would have been
better off had they remained in their
home states.
THE appeal for an increase in salary
for government employees is based upon
the very Soundest of economic reasons
and is just and fair and should not
i. longer be deferred.
Il am also in favor of applying the
proposed increases to the school
teachers in the District of Columbia.
whose salaries are lower than in any
other section of the country.

said Manager Rowland urging them to
get in condition before they reach
the training camp. Every man

he can't play good ball. 1t doesn't

come to the camp fifteen or twenty
pounds overweight. They want to be

Apparently Joe Benz has received ad-
