Revise Wages Upward For
Government Employees
By BILL PRICE

Whatever Congress may do in the next few months in
economy of expenditures should halt at reduction of sal
aries of Federal and District employees Not only should
clear of anything of this kind but the contrary
should increase the salaries that have been paid in the past
so that there be question Of men and women meet
ing the high cost of living of the future.
The very best minds of the country frankly admit that
the most dangerous time in the world for lowering wages
or salaries is while the cost of living remains high with
little prospect of downward trend As far possible this
country wants to make its workers conened and In public
and private employment the utmost endeavor should be
made to maintain wages at least until it is evident that the
cost of living is going down.
The Government in the face of extraordinary readus
ments that must go in business and all other lines should
set example of the farest possible treatment in the mat
ter of salaries for its employees In doing this it viii be
position to advise in wage disputes that viii continuously
arise during reconstruction periods.
There no longer "soft' places in the Government
service in the of large salaries and little to do There
large salaries today for civil service employees Even
for political appontees the salaries not large compared
to the cost of living.
The highest grade clerks drawing 81 800 to $1,000
year, not to be enved in these times when every turn
exorbtapt expenditures for the things we eat and
for amusement. They find it difficult to
make ends meet in their station in life That being
what about the miserable ptances paid to thousands Of
good and In the classes drawing much less
money for the great majority OF Government and District
employees paid salaries of less than 81 200 yeari
The most shameful thing in connection with Govern
ment salaries the pfn $50 and $50 per month paid to
aborers messengers and often watchmen These wages
lifted by bonuses in the last two years How
miserably small the salaries with this addition.
Representative Keating of Colorado, q mighty good
man. who defeated in the last election has sought for
long time to get Congress to fix minimum wage of So
per day for Government employees Frank p Walsh joint
chairman with W. II. Taft, of the War Labor Board, de-
clares boldly that 1914 cents hour is the least money
that worker can maintain himself and family in
able comfort
Congress created the board which Mr. Walsh sat upon
long and aware that this board has arbitrarily raised
wages throughout the United States Yet Congress year
in and year fixes salaries of So to $3.50 day for many
hundreds of and women working for the Government
of the United States They have families, too.

With only about thirty points of transfer to consider
there has been during this time addition to the three
free transfer locations first announced which accommodate
only small fraction of the travelling public.
It is to the Public Utilities Commission that the people
must look for maintenance of their privileges and
enforcement of their rights.

TODAY'S TOPIC
FAMILY EALOUSIES

take the biggest and sanest view
of everything.
/. Criieising the Bride.
A. NJ. v. should realize that this
case isn't unique, by any means.
That there must be countless
thousands Of instances in which q
young husbands relatives either
openly or secretly criticise his
wife for not conforming to some
ideal and impossible standard
which they themselves have set
up.
But there are other things that
he should realize as well.
Having confessed that he is in
possession Of the supreme gift Of
life, doesn't he see that in the mat
ter Of general distribution. he may
be said TO have his share?

whom he adores unreservedly aft

And though It may sound very
moral indeed, l really believe tina

be rich in tolerance, too.
The happy person can AFFORD to
be generous with the unhappy one.
A. NJ. V. Is doubtless right, as |
may as we'll admit, in believing
that his mother and sisters are
jealous of his devotion to his wife.
But he should remember that

it is true. 1t was formerly they
who had all his devotion-and
they're still lonely for the lack Of
it.
1t isn't a tragic or a hopeless
situation. Far from it 1t isn't
even a situation that justifies sur
render to the blues" 1t is, 1
think, q situation that a clear
sighted, warm-hearted young man
ought to be able to handle-if his
wife helps him.
The Young Husbands Course.
Gently, but unmistakably. /
think he should make 1t plain to
his own relatives, once for all.
that he cannot listen to any un-
kind criticism Of his wife.
And from that time on, l think
he should try to put the whole
matter out Of his mind. Assume
that the existing relations are
normal and pleasant, and avoid
watching for little manifestations
OF jealousy or other ill-feeling. 1t
won't help matters any for him to
talk the thing over repeatedly
with his wife. Indeed, it's better
not to refer to 1t at all II possible.
II he plants himself firmly on
the basis OF his own happiness,
and assumes that everybody else
knows he ls happy. and that
there's no possible excuse for

will be obliged to suecumb grad

BY acting as though nothing
but good feeling could possibly
exist, good feeling itself will in
eyitably develop.

just as good and sweet, whom he
himself has independently fallen
in love with, and whom he does
marry.
Nobody would deny that he is
acting quite properly in doing 30.
But his mother and sisters, who
adore him and who take every
thing connected with him very de-
votlonally-his diet, his wardrobe,
his social engagements - don't
easily recover from the disap-
po!ntment Of having their candi-
date defeated.
They consider that the idolized
son and brother Is equal to any
opportunity that life may offer,
that he can perform any conceiv-
able exploit. But they don't think
he is capable Of choosing his own
wife.
They feel that he deserves to
be the happiest man IN the uni
verse. But they can't admit that
this girl OF his own selecting has
the power TO make him so.
Now the reasonable course for a
devoted family would be to wait to
see whether the young mans mar
rlage proved happy. and In that
case. to applaud his good fortune,
even though they might feel that
the young wife spent too much
time at the piano. or that she
darned her husbands socks On the
wrong day Of the week.
But a devoted family isn't al
ways reasonable, and can't be ex-
pected to be, especially IL its mem
bers have a little more leisure
than is necessary, and are victims,
perhaps. of the very human vice of
gossiping, and have never been

THE ARCH NOT A DISTRICT
MEMORIAL.

i AAA1&AAOAAAhAs
Some Heard and Seen correspon-
dents seem to think that the pro-
posed TRIUMPHAL ARCH would
be as q memorial to District soldiers
who have lost their lives in the war.
This proposition, brought forward
by ARTHUR C. MOSES, Of this
city, is intended as a great piece Of
national and international architec-
ture to commemorate democraeys
triumph. The proposed memorial to
District heroes is an entirely differ
ent matter.
STEPHEN F. TILLMAN comes
forward with the very excellent idea
that there should be a memorial
building in Washington for soldiers
and sailors to meet and become ac-
quainted. He declares that Wash
ington badly needs q structure Of
this sort The building would be for
social diversions and the making Of
friendships based on service for
Uncle Sam.
There is no such building IN
Washington except the G. A. r. Hall,
1412 Pennsylvania avenue, and the
Government uses most of it for Of
fee purposes.
Let the Government give a build
ing for the veterans of all wars or
build one by subscription"
Some such building as Mr.. TILL
MAN proposes would be a most
popular and useful one.
CHARLES &. KERN also has 4
good idea. He would ask the Gov
ernment to turn over buildings at
some Of the nearby camps that will
be abandoned for use in auuual en-
campments by High School Cadets
Of Washington. the District National
Guard, and other military or semi
military organizations that the Gov
ernment might wish to encourage.
HAROLD P. sToDDARD seems to
understand something about these
Baltimore trips. He sums the facts
up this way:
A tap upon a door,
A tip TO four or more,
A trip to Baltimore,
A grip Of malt or more.
A sip for all or more,
A hit, q wild encore,
Asleep upon the floor,
Awake but awful sore.
