From Pittsburgh Asserts

ord-breaking coal production in nom
union mines in the Pittsburgh dis
trict was reported today by operators,
while union leaders said the mines
| under the Jurisdiction of the United
Mine Workers were down as tight
as at any time since the strike was
called. Cars, it was said, were even
more plentiful today than they were
yesterday, and every possible effort
was being made by the railroads to
| move coal as promptly as it was
loaded.
Union officers said they had few re-
ports today. as many organizers and
others interested had not appeared
at headquarters. 1t being election
day, these men were expected to re-
main in their home communicate

ballots.
Small mines, which provide coal for
domestic purposes. were operating in
all parts of the district. and wagons,
trucks. and even wheelbarrows were
being used by neighboring residents
who had not a full winter supply Of
such supplies as they could obtain.
A company of United States in
fantry which arrived at Brownsville,
on the Monongahela river. from Fort
Niagara early today, was expected
to police that section. which was de-
scribed as the "borderland" between
the unionized field of the Pittsburgh
district and the non-union Connells-
vile coke country.
Ohicials of the United Mine Work
ers in this district had not yet been
officially notified of the injunction
proceedings in Indianapolis, and it
was held in some union quarters that
such officials were, to the present,
free from any restraint which the
order imposes. r@-

this Office, and our men are waiting
for us to act" was the statement
made at the Office of Philip Murray,

warded already to points as far west
as Chicago and northward to Buffalo

production in this section recently has
made a large reserve stock available

3PER CENT RAISE
FORu,S. WORKERS
|ND|STRIiCT SOUGHT
Blanket Boost Pending Pay
Revision Held Necessary
to Maintain Personnel.

Because federal employees are ieaV-
ing the government service here on ac-
count of higher salaries paid in out
side Jobs" especially in scientific work
of all kinds, there is on foot today
movement looking toward 80 per cent
blanket increase in salary for the lV!,-
900 federal workers who come under the
jurisdiction Of the congressional com
mission on Redistribution OF salaries
3n the District.
Suggestions to this effect have been
made TO the reclassification commission.
Il was learned today. asking that the
commission urge Congress to pass some
general relief measure to cover tne
great mass of clerks here until the re-
recommendations to Congress and those
recommendations made into law.
Six months with scarcely single
eertifcation of technical employees
from the Civil Service Commission to
one of the engineering bureaus here
is the result Of offering college bred
men $4,000 salaries. it is declared by
an official.
Several Bureaus Hard Hit.
The Naval Observatory, the coast
and geodetic survey the bureau of
standards. the weather bureau, and
,he patent office are bureaus reQuir-
ing hIgn class OF WOTkIndH WHICH
are hard hit by the present wage
schedules.
Computers in the federal service
skilled mathematicians who. in some
cases. have written text books now
in use in colleges. are receiving less.
ii is declared, than bricklayers at
nearby seaports. where wages have
been SO day, it is asserted.
One engineer, in one of the bureaus
named. who has been in the service
for ten years. is drawing but 81 600 a
year. He has a wife and a child. He
finds 1t difficult to make both ends
meet. especially when he stops to
realize that he could make great
deal more outside the bureau.
1t is declared that a scientific work
er in one bureau got transferred to
another bureau in the government
service here, and. although doing ex-
actly the same kind of work, draws
several hundred more dollars a year.
II is asserted that this man jumped
his salary from about $500 year to
$500 a year by this expedient.
Whole Force Needs Increase.
Need for some increase at once, 20
to 50 per cent preferred. is seen in
these cases. It is declared that the
increase is needed by the whole force
of the government, not only by scien-
tific workers. and that all are in vital
reed of funds to tide them over until
Congress acts on Recommendations
which will be made by the reclassi-
fcaricn commission.
