clerks NOW ASK
!: FOR MORE. SALARY
D. C. Workers on Annual Paw
Roll Appeal to Com
missioners.

District government clerks and en-
ployes carried on the annual roll ap-
pealed today to the Commissioners to
ask Congress for a general increase
in their pay.
The Commissioners now have be-
fore them not only the demands Of
the per diem employees for minimum
Of IS a day for unskilIed and 81 q day
for skillad labes. with the prospect of
another strike e the increases are
not granted. but the request Of the
clerical force. which is backed up by
Municipal Employees Union. No. SO;
the National Federation of Federal
Employees and the American Fedora
ton Of Labor.
To meet these requests; II they are
considered justified. in light of the
constantly advancing cost of living,
the Commissioners may find it neces-
sary to go to Congress with supple
mental estimates.
Five Grades Of Increases Asked.
The clerks ask for five grades Of in
creases. They want 35 per cent in
crease for employees receiving amounts
up to and including 5000. This would
give the 5000 employe a salary of
$1,215 per annum. The $1,000 class is
recommended for 25 per cent in
crease. which would make the maxi
mum salary $3.50. For those making
over $1,000 and including $1,000, an
increase of 20 per cent is proposed,
which would give a maximum of
$1,440. Increases Of 10 and per cent,
respectively. are suggested for en-
ployes making over $1,000 and includ-
ing S1.4oo and over $1,4oo and includ-
ing $500. In the former case the
pay would jump to $3.50 and in the
latter to $1,575.
In proposing these advances the
clerks, through their organization,
known as Municipal Employees Union,
No. So, say that in case any of the
increases proposed would work an in
justice to per diem employees the pay
of per diem men could be adjusted by
order of the Commissioners to corre-
spond with that of the annual pay
men engaged in similar work.

priation for Air Defense of Coast
Proposed by War Department.

While nearly forty hours had passed
since the German submarines preying
upon shipping of the Atlantic coast
had disclosed their position, efforts Of
the Navy Department to hunt down
the raiders had not been lessened in
the least.
Instead the search was being ex-
tended today to more southern regions
in belief that the German undersea
craft, after sinking the Norwegian
steamer Eidsvold late Tuesday, Of the
Virginia capes, hurried southwark in
hope of finding locality in which ma
val patrols were not so strong.
May Be Near Capes.
Location Of the raiders of the yir-
ginia capes. on the other hand. leads
some Navy Department officials to be-
lieve that the submarines may have
taken up a position in that region in the
belief that there, in the path Of trans
atlantic travel. richer prizes in the form
OF large cargo or passenger carrying
vessels, or perhaps a transport. might
be obtainable.
Details of the sinking OF the Eidsvold
were lacking early today. Dispatches
received last night by the Navy Depart
ment said the steamer was sunk forty
miles of the Virginia coast and that the
crew had been rescued by Navy supply
ship.
Patrol craft today were also engaged
In sea rch for mines strewn off the Della
ware capes by the raiders. Several un-
exploded mines were gathered in yes

Millions for Air Defense.
A 1000, coo appropriation for es-
tabIishfng balloon and seaplane sta
tfons to guard the United States
against submarine and air attacks
was asked of Congress today BY the
War Department.
The department desires to establish
sixteen stations. thirteen of them on
the Atlantic coast and three on the
gulf coast. Definite locations were
not given.
The coast-defense plan. as submit
ted, also calls for the establishment
of mobile fortifcations along the
coasts by which guns could be trans
ferred on railroads from one poinl
to another to meet possible attacks
The House appropriations commit
tee to whom the request went. was
informed that there are In operation
sufficient number of aircraft to de-
possible airplane attacks that could
be made, it was said, would come
from collapsible airplanes carried by
submarines.

LONDON, June 26.-President
Achelis of the Bremen Import Asso-

unpleasant character of the weapon

shape of an economic war. He says:
"It would be wrong to believe that
we can find substitute for our for

form of a close union with the coun
tries situated east and southeast of
Germany and Austria Hungary. 1t
is just as erroneous to suppose that we
shall protect ourselves against an
economic war by establishing "A large
number of monopolistic military or
We must therefore endeavor to in
duce our opponents to abandon their
