ASKS WAR MEDALS
FOR LOYAL WOMEN

A stirring plea for recognition
by Congress Of the part played by
American women in the world war
was made in the Senate yesterday
by Senator Reed. His remarks
were addressed to an amendment
to the army appropriation bill to
confer the thanks OF Congress and
a medal upon all members of local
and district draft boards.
As a result of Senator Reeds op-
position to this amendment it was
rejected, and the entire subject
matter of comforting recognition
upon the men and women will be
Incorporated in a new bill.
Senator Reed declared he thought
it grossly unfair to give medals to
the draft officials and overlook the
women who performed such noble
service during the war. He said:
Il would a thousand times rather
confer medals upon the women who
toiled in the hospitals or on the
battle line or who served in vari-
Gus capacities elsewhere than 1
would upon the men who simply
remained at home and passed upon
the men who happened. to be
drafted

40 PER CENT PAY
RISE FOR G.P.0.
House Committee Reports
Favorably on Bill to In
crease, Wages.

The employees OF Uncle Sans big
printery were made happy yesterday
when they were informed that Rep
resentative Kiess. chairman of the
Printing Committee OF the House.
has recommended an increase of pay
amounting to S4s6,652 for the approx
mately 1882 compositors, pressmen
and bookbinders. This means an in
crease from 60 and 6 cents an hour
TO 75 cents an hour.
1t was stated that the committee,
in fixing upon 75 cents. took into con-
sideration the fact that the bonus
Of $40 a year. which becomes availa-
Bile July /. will add substantially 10
cents an hour to the rate proposed
by the bill. This will make the rate
for day work approximately IS cents
an hour. and the night rate \ 81 an
hour.
The pay of 1872 employees is in
creased 10 cents an hour above the
rate now paid by the bill as amended
1t increases the pay of S31 other en-
ployes 10 cents an hour. and of twen-
ty-nine others , cents an hour. This,
with the larger bonus and the in
crease granted by Congress last July,
makes the average increase in the
pay of printers, pressmen and book
binders $3.50 each per annum, or about
40 per cent.

Important Happenings In Congress
EMPLOYMENT INQUIRY
RUNS AGAINST SNAG

After hearing several witnesses
placed on the stand by Representa-
tive Blanton. the joint labor COM
mittee of the Senate and House yes
terday decided that its powers were
not sufficiently broad to Investigate
the United States Employment Serv-
ice. The inquiry is concerned with
the advisability of creating a per-
manent Federal employment serv-
ice.
The committee declined to hear
Stanley R. Lynn. of the transporta-
ton section OF the. Employment
Service. through whom Representa-
tive Blanton declared he could show
misappropriation of transportation
funds. In executive session the
committee decided to hear Lynn to-
day and then close the inquiry.

PREFERS ''REDS"
TO PROFITEERS
Anarchist Bombs Do Less
Harm Than Food Experts,
Says Representative.

Representative La Guardia, at q
meeting OF Betsy Ross Post, No. 1.
American Legion last night In Me-
mortal Centennial Hall, made a scath-
ing attack on Director of Sales Hare
and his force OF experts" who are
going to Europe 70 sell foodstuffs
needed for home consumption.
AN occasional bomb thrown by
red-handed anarchist" said La Guar
dia, does less harm than a man like
c. w. Hare. who must 20 to Europe to
sell meat because the American house
hold cannot use a six-pound tin OF
roast beef. or because the American
cook does not know how 10 prepars
bacon that has been cured for army
consumption.
The reason Is plain. A recent ar
ticle in Washington newspaper
showing the prices of foodstuffs IN
three American cities would indicate
that the American housewife is more
accustomed to dainty fodr-ounce tins
Of meat than to six-pound cans.
SHANK God, men like the New York
Senator who voted for sending these
experts to Europe at a tremendous
cost to find a market for the food
stuffs American palates are hunger
ing for are not representative Amer
lean citizens.
And as / sat In that committee to-
day. ] could not but wonder how
c. w. Hare, who draws SIS 900 a year
salary, and his corps OF experts, one
at $4,000 and six at $500 each a
year, would have looked in the khaki
or the navy blue standing in line wait
ing to sign Uncle Sans payroll for
$50 a month";
Other features Of the evening were
an address by Mrs. Buel. of Connectit
cut, National d. A. X. COMMITTEES
member; a talk by Col. K. Lester
Jones. of the American Legion. and
an illustrated talk on the song, "Our
America" by Miss Kittie Cheatham,

ASKS FEDERAL GRANT
FOR HOME BUILDING

A bill to encourage home owner
ship and the building of homes was
introduced in the House yesterday
by Representative Fitzgerald.
The bill provides for the author
ization of a loan Of s50,0O0.0oO, to be
dispensed by the Federal Farm
Loan Board through the twelve
Federal land banks in the same
manner and under the same regu-
lations as now obtain in connec-
tion with monies loaned.
The bill stipulates that loans, not
to exceed $4,000 to one borrower,
shall be made for the purchase OF
land for agricultural purposes. for
the purchase of equipment for the
same. and for building and i'm
provement of farm lands.

is some doubt whether they may not

either just before or after signing yc-

iy diplomatic visits between allied and

another point In which the conclusion
OF the present peace differs from for

The only direct evidence that the
war is ended and the Germans are

COXEY SEES REVOLT
BY LABOR BREWING

Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor. is
sitting on a volcano now brewing
in labor ranks, Gen" Jacob S.
Coxey, OF "Coxey's Army" fame. told
the House Banking and Currency
Committee yesterday.
The general added that a revo-
luton. against which he Is working,
is threatening in the United States.
He was testifying in support of n
bill to provide public improvements
and work for the employment of
soldiers out of jobs.
Members of the committee sug-
gested that use OF the word "revo-
luton" might incite ignorant work.
ers to violence. The witness ad-
mitted that such might be the case.
The committee then called to the
generals" attention some of his re-
marks in pamphlet to this effect:
Failing in this peaceful and de-
sirable mode. then revolution. Think
1t over; Is there anything else left
for US to do?"

PLAN LONG TRIP
BY MOTOR CORPS
Transport Men to
Start Transcontinental
Tour Here on July I.

Phe War Department has COM
pleted plans for a transcontinental
tour on a large scale by the Motor
Transport Corps under actual world
war conditions. starting from Wash
ington July Z, and proceeding along
the route of the Lincoln Highway
through eleven States to San Fran
cisco, a distance of 5000 miles.
Two full strength Motor Trans
port Corps truck companies will
operate the convoy. The train will
consist of approximately sixty
trucks. accompanied by auxiliary
trucks and equipment of anti-air-
craft, engineer, medical. field artil-
lery and air service units.
The personnel will comprise ten
officers and s10 men of the Motor
Transport Corps, two officers and
thirty men of the Engineer Corps,
in addition to officers and men of
the auxiliary detachments.
This is the first time that the
government has provided a train of
this character for crossing the
Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas to
the Pacific Coast. The purposes OF
the tour are both military and edu-
cational.
One of the objects is to collect de-
tailed data for use in the technical
training of commissioned and enlisted
personnel of the Motor Transport
Corps in operating truck trains, and
to procure recruits for the enlisted
personnel of the Motor Transport
Corps. and for the training schools
for mechanics which will open IN Se5-
tember.
1t is proposed that President Wilson
start the convoy off from Washington
on the afternoon of July by exer-
cises to be held in Lafayette Square
Here a monument is to be dedicated
as the starting point for all national
highways.
