81 A DAY INCREASE
FOR. FIREMEN ASKED
D. C. Commissioners Requested by
Central Labor Union to Use In
fuence to Get Raise.

That they use their efforts to bring
about an Immediate increase in the
pay of firemen of at least 81 day
is the substance of a resolution the
District Commissioners have received
from the Central Labor Union
Request for increased pay recently
was submitted to the Commissioners
by the firemen. who presented brief
showing that their salaries have not
been advanced since 1906, notwith-
standing an increase il the cost of
living ranging from so to 100 per cent.
The Central Labor Union backs up
the appeal by pointing out that there
have been many designations from the
fire department on account Of the low
salaries paid and that the District
cannot afford to jeopardize the lives
and property of its citizens by refus-
ing 1.-THE firemen the small increase
they request.
The Commissioners have the petition
under advisement. but salaries can
be increased only through appropria-
tion by Congress. Whether the stu
alton will be treated as an emergency
one or action delayed until the next
District estimates are transmitted to
Congress has not been disclosed.

SALVAGE MATERIAL
AT HOMES is PILING UP
Women Urged to Be Patient Until
Committee Works Out System
of Collection.

So readily did the housewives of
Washington respond to the appeal of
the salvage committee to make last
Sunday a special day for gathering
up waste paper. magazines, lead and
tinfoil for the Red Cross that the
committee has been swamped for the
past two days with telephone calls
from homes which have a pile of
these materials to be collected.
The fact that the salvage commit
tee has not yet perfected its plan for
the collection of the material from
the homes has made it impossible To
send wagons Immediately to the
ters that they have something to con-
tribute.
Mrs. John Allan Dougherty of the
salvage committee appealed to the
women of Washington today to be
patient if the paper and other junk
they have saved is not called for
within a few days. The committee
hopes to work out a better system OF
collection.
Persons who do not care to keep the
material until it can be called for
may leave it at the nearest fire engine
house, from which it will be forward
ed to saliva ge headquarters. Delaware
avenue and C street. The salvaged
material is sold to wholesale junk
dealers and the proceeds used in Red
Cross work

Words and Coin.

If words would swat the rag
ing foe, and lay swath of Teu-
tens low, the war would end
tonight: we've countless lads
who'd elocute the stuffing from
the war lord Teut, and put his
hosts to flight. We've countless
gents who spend their days in
venting epigram and phrase, and
hard boiled metaphor; the way
they roast the Hun is great, and
ought to jar that Wilhelm skate
but words won't win the war.
The gent who buys some green
thrift stamps brings terror to
the Prussian camps, far more
than windy sharks, who keep
their kopecks in their pance, but
stand erect at every chance, to
make a few remarks. Dig up,
dig up, before you spiel! Dig up
the bone, the buck, the wheel,
the kroner and the yen! Go
down in your tin savings bank.
dig up the shilling and the franc,
dig up the iron men! When you
have stripped the strongboN
bare, then you may stand and
paw the air until the cows come
home; but talk that isn't back
ed by wealth won't interrupt a
Teuton's health, or cleave his
crested dome. September comes
another loan" will call for
every hard earned bone that pa
triots can raise; and he who
buys himself a bond does more
to help our boys beyond, than all
the screeching jays.
