District government, leaving it to that
body to revise the individual statutory
salaries or give the Commissioners lump
sums from which fair salaries may be
paid. A general raise in the salaries
of hundreds of employees will be
urge either specifically or through
lump sums. Ordinarily the Commits
sioners would prefer that Congress
take the responsibility of fixing all
salaries, relieving their shoulders of
the burden. II done that way, how
ever, the Commissioners will later
be confronted with many instances
Of salaries too low TO hold men who
are much needed in the city's serv-

No decision has been reached as
to how this problem will be presented
in the estimates. That will come
during the consideration to be given
in the next few weeks
Salaries Low Everywhere.
Compared to salaries paid by the
Federal Government and in private
business. employees Of the District
are underpaid to a considerable eK-
tent.
Policemen obtained O small raise in
the District bill. but II was not suf-
hcient to induce new men to don
police uniforms.
The fremen are badly underpaid,
and the Commissioners will un-
doubtedly ask a fair increase for
these protectors of the city.
District schools have had to ma
terfally lower all standards for
teachers to obtain instructors. Young
women educated especially for school
work have left their positions owing
to the low salaries. The Board Of
Education is to ask the Commission
ers to recommend to Congress q
minimum. salary Of $1,000 q year for
competent teachers. The last ap-
preparation bill put the minimum at
$500 per year
