More than LOO carriers, clerks and
laborers at the Washington postoffice
are affected by an increase of salaries
ranging from 10 to 90 per cent, which
goes into effect today.
Postmaster General Burleson urged
President Wilson TO veto the joint

he refused TO do so. He did not sign
the resolution, however, and IL auto
matically became law last midnight.

Mr.. Mullowny's remarks severely
criticising the court and charging
Justice Stafford with having exhibit
ed signs of impatience at the trial,
created sensation in the court,
which was filled with lawyers and
the public.
"It is beneath the dignity of the
court to reply to Mr. Mullowny," said
Justice Stafford "Those who were
here at the trial know the facts in
the case. and for the benefit of those
who were not here / will say that

HOPE FOR FIRE PAY

Despite the legislative tangle an

put through the firemen's increased
pay bill before the end OF the session.

by Senator Calders subcommittee,
which revised the policemen's bill
with generous increases over the al
lowances approved by the House. 1t
is Senator Calder's hope that the bill
will be ready to submit to the fuu
District committee within the next
few days.
The fact that the firemen volun-
tarily withdrew from affiliation wita
the American Federation Of Labor
adds TO the chances OF speedy consto-
Grafton of the measure. 1t was the
hesitation OF the police force 10 with
draw from the union that held up
consideration of that pay bill Tor so
long a time.
While the chances are none too
good for the adoption of any legisla-
ton until after the peace treaty Is
out of the way, Senator Calder has
been assured that IL the firemen's
bill is placed upon the calendar NJ
objection wouM be made 10 its con-
sideration during a regular morning
hour" when routine business is taken
up. 1t is not believed the measure
would involve enough debate to pre-
vent it's speedy passage.
Members of the District committee
are in accord with the House pro-
visions for increased pay, ana II IS
possible, as in the case OF the tire-
men, that the Senate will be little
more generous in the matter OF pay
Civilian employees of the fire depart
ment. such as those engaged in desk
and other clerical work, undoubtedly.
will be provided for as in the police

Two hundred and eighty classes in
the public schools are overcrowded,

Stephen Z. Kramer, assistant super

II Congress adds 1872 additional
teachers, as asked for in the de-
ficiency appropriation. several half
day classes will be established for
students above the second grade.
In seventy-seven classes teachers
are compelled to teach from 4s to 5S
students, in 123 classes from IS to As,
and in 80 classes from Al to IS.
mo teacher should be allowed to in
struct more than forty students in
one class" said Mr.. Kramer, land it
is unfair to make a school child at
tend a class that exceeds this num-
ber. We are doing everything we can
to prevent II but with lack of teach
ers and lack of space our hands are
tied"
Teachers in the high schools, who
ordinarily teach four and FIVE periods
a day, have been compelled to take
six classes.
The average high school teacher"
said the assistant superintndent, "can
teach four periods a day and give
the students proper instruction. Some
can teach five periods, but under no
circumstances should teacher be al.
lowed to teach six classes"
Superintendent Thurston is visiting

JAKE THE WAR HERO
GUEST OF CAPITAL

Corporal Jake ALEX. rival of
Sergeant Alvin York for distinguished
honors in the American Expeditionary
Forces, is a guest of honor in the
National Capital
For conspicuous gallantry in ac-
tion against the boche, he sports
enough military medals pinned on his
expansive Standardization chest to
arouse the envy of a full-fledged gen.
eral.
From General Pershing's own hands,
Corporal ALEX received the Con-
gressional Medal of Honor at Lux
embourg on April %, 1919. for charg-
ing a machine gun nest single-hand
ed. killing FIVE of the Germans, and
bringing back fifteen others as tro-
phies.
Along with this most coveted of all
war medals, Corporal ALEX also
wears pinned on his chest the Croix
de Guerre with palm, the Medaille
Militaire de France. the British Dis
tinguished Conduct Medal. and the
Silver Medal OF Montenegro.
While the young American soldier
is content to let other henors go by,
nevertheless he's bound for Serbia
to receive still another medal, the
Serbian Cross of War.
But there's greater reason than
this that Is sending the young soldier
across the oceans. In far off Serb

brothers, who fought seven years
in the Balkan and the great wars

Corporal ALEX was in the UnItc.l

many of the leading engagements in
which American troops participated.

city. The Department of Justice, IL
was known today, has under surveil-

lor establishments whose activities
bring them within the scope of the
law under which arrests are being

High officials OF the police depart
