ing Action of Congress.

The District employees branch Of the
Federal Employees Union will begin
work next week on a bill which they
will endeavor to have introduced in
the House and Senate to give them
temporary increases in pay until Con-
gress acts on the report Of the reclas-
sincation commission
A committee of the union was told
at the Capitol yesterday by Repre-
sentative Mapes, chairmen Of the
House District committee, that con-
sideration would be given to a bill
providing for temporary increases IL
approved by the Commissioners.
Although it is not likely that the
Commissioners will take the initia-
tive in having the bill introduced i'm
view OF the fact that the reclassinca-
ton commission Is now studying the
salaries of all government workers.
there was little doubt at the District
building today that the city heads
would approve a bill IL the employees
can have it introduced. -
MI. Gardiner Approves Idea.
Commissioner Gardiner said he
would approve such q bill il II is
introduced and referred to him for
report. COMMISSIONER brOWDlOW Is

Mr.. Gardiner said he believed that
the employees of the District should
get more pay in order to meet the
present cost OF living. He said there
are many District workers who get
approximately 40 per cent less than
employees of the federal government
doing the same kind Of work.
Cites Cases Of Other Employees.

Employees Upion, said that Congress
did not wait for the Redistribution
commission to complete its task be-
fore taking up the question of pay
for policemen and 'hremens II their
need for an increase was urgent, Mr..
Dawson continued, he saw no reason
why civilian employees Of the District
should not be given temporary relief.
He called attention to the fact that
there are many in the District service
receiving $500 and $500 a year.

Duty to Keep Mines Open.

basis. Their judgment would I'M
doubtedly be based upon sum to-

Whatever their differences may be,
no matter how widely divergent
their viewpoints may be from each
otheY, it is a duty that they owe
society to make an earnest effort
to negotiate those differences and
to keep the mines of our country
in operation.
After all. the public interest in
this vital matter is the paramount
consideration of the government

that of consideration of a peace

housekeeper for Father Andrew Bla-
nowski, priest of the Isadore parish
at the time Sister Mary's disappear
ance. The prosecution was not called
upon to prove the bones were those OF
Sister Mary, the defense admitting
this point to expedite the trial.
Mrs. Lypchinski was placed on trial

was alleged to have made to a woman
detective was introduced by the prose-
cution. The confession, which gave
