Wage Measure Fought
By Federal Employees
Good Amendment to Nolan Bill
Would Bar Many From
Increased Pay
Near York Tribune
Wdshiny ton Bureau

WdShlTJt ton bureau
WASHINGTON. July 1.-Organized
Federal employees are making a strenu
Gus effort to defeat the amendment to
the Nolan bill for minimum wage for
government workers offered by Repre-
sentative Good, of Iowa. This amend
ment would keep thousands of girls
and women now getting the temporary
increase in salary granted by Congress
on July from the additional benefit Of
this bonus if the minimum wage goes
into effect.
The Good amendment provides that
wherever the minimum wage law ap-
plies the temporary increase granted
by Congress to all salaries of $4,000
and less shall be considered as part of
the base pay. The effect Of this is to
deny to the employees receiving be-
tween 5000 and $1,OS0 at least part
of the $240 increase allowed by Uncle
Sam because Of the high cost of living.
The Nolan bill will come UP next
Wednesday. The Good amendment
must yet be voted upon by the House
before it becomes part of the Nolan
measure.

Heads Mission Crusade

The Rev. Thomas Burke, C. S. P,
newly chosen superior of the Paulist
Fathers. has placed himself at the head
of the Catholic Students Mission
Crusade in this part of the country.
This drive, which started originally at
the Apostolic Mission House, Washing
ton, a Paulist institution of the Catho-
lie University, has now extended to
Catholic students in other countries.
The campaign is chiefly for the pur
pose Of getting young men to give
themselves for the work Of the Church
in domestic and foreign missionary
fields. Originally most of the Paulist
missionary work abroad was accom-
plished by the French. The war
stopped their efforts, and Americans,
under Father Burke. mean to carry on
in their place.

Wanamaker Celebrates
Eighty-first Birthday
Merchant Suggests National
Sesgui-Ccntennial at Phila-
dclDhia in 1926

PHILADELPHIA, July 11.-John
Wanamaker suggested to-day in an ad-
dress at the celebration of his eighty
first birthday at his store here, ma
tional sesqui-centennial celebration at
Fairmount Park, in this city in 1928.
The suggestion was made as a climax
to a history of the development of the
country, which had taken place during
Mr.. Wanamaker's lifetime.
The >merchant was at his store at
8 a. m. as usual, and found his office
banked with flowers, and his desk
stacked with congratulatory messages.
His older employees were waiting to
shake his hand, and apparently were
no less eager than Mr.. Wanamaker r
for the handclasp After this recep-
tion Mr. Wanamaker listened to an
organ recital in the store, in the course
of which his favorite selections were
played.

Welshman Enlists in Army to
Fit Himself for Civilian
Career

Speaking with an accent that was a
credit to his birthplace of Berry Dock,
South Wales, Ilton M. P. John, jackie
in the royal navy, came into the army
recruiting Office yesterday and enlisted
in the Motor Transport Corps. He
had seen action at Heligoland and the
Near East with the British naval
forces and later as field artilleryman
with the British army in France.
After his discharge he came to America
to take up civilian life.
II soon realized" he said, "that a
man without trade or college edu-
cation has little chance to get a good
jos. So when I read of the college in
khaki l decided the best way to make
good was to enlist in the army and
learn a trade"
Yesterday sixty-eight men were ac-
cepted by the army out of 151, appli-
cants.

Eighth Ave. Line
Ordered Back to
Control of Owners
Transfer Privileges Will
Stand, Judge Mayer Says;
Favors Giving Nixon a
Chance With the Scheme

The Eighth Avenue street railroad
line ceased to. be component part Of
the New York Street Railways system
yesterday when Judge Mayer, in the
United States District Court, delivered
an order returning the line to its own
erS.
For the present, at least, the Eighth
Avenue line will continue the transfer
privileges enjoyed by other lines con-
trolled by the New York Street Rail-
ways.
At the hearing yesterday Bronson
Winthrop and Colonel Henry L. Stim-
son appeared for Job E. Hedges. re-
ceiver of the New York Street Rail-
ways, and Michael Kirkland and Nor
Avenue line. Corporation Counsel
Burr also attended in the interest Of
the city,
Following considerable argument by
respective counsel, Judge Mayer said:
II shall direct the receiver to turn
over to the Eighth Avenue Line equip
ment, etc, to the limit of his ability
and its needs. The legal questions in
volved will have to be considered from
time to time and will not be passed on
nova nv position regarding the trans
fer situation is this:
"The order by Commissioner Nixon
is in the nature of temporary relief
only, but he has made his order, and /
think he is entitled to the fullest CO.
operation of this court. He is entitled
to try it out and learn its effect upon
the whole situation.
"Ihe same kind of arrangement for
the parties now in court should be
made under his order as would be
made if all the strictly legal questions
had been settled. / think, therefore,
this court can authorize the receiver
to enter into an agreement with the
Eighth Avenue company to issue trans.
fers under the Same conditions as
would be the case if the latter were
not severed"
