FAVOR BONUS OF $3.50.
Senator Curtis Among Those Who
Would Meet Plea of I. ).
Employees.

Sentiment among members OF the
Senate appropriations committee is
growing in favor of the $3.50 a year
bonus for government employees asked
by the National Federation Of Federal
Employees rather than the S24O voted
by the House in the legislative, exec
utive anG judicial appropriation bill.
Senator Curtis, Of Kansas, is among
those who believe that, in view of the
high cost Of living and the low sala-
ries, government employees should
have the $500 bonus. The National
Federation of Federal Employees,
which is to be given hearing by
the Senate appropriations committee,
yesterday issued bulletin setting
forth the following three amendments
With they will seek to have incor-
porated in the pending legislative
bill:
One will cal! for a general salary
increase of 81 a day, or $3.50 per year
instead of the 24O voted by the House.
Another will provide for the in
clusion in the increase Of the war
risk bureau and all the permanent
government bureaus.
The third will provide for COM
mission on standardization and re-
classification Of the entire civil serv-
ice.
The federation also wants COM
mission which would be organized on
the principle of collective bargaining,
and would consist of three representa-
tiyes Of the executive management CO
.he civil service, three representatives
Of the employees and three rcprcsen-
tatives Of the public, all to be appoint
cd by the President. It is stipulated,
that women shall be repre-
scented on the commission, and that
the employers representatives. shall
be nominated by collective action Of
the employees under such regulations
IS the President shall! prescribe. The
measure is offered as a substitute for

the Turkish bayonets, driven into
field, given over to the whim OF the
soldiers, then slain.
She saw old men and adult Women
10000 Of them-as they marched to
the Canyon Of Death, where all were
belreadcd at night by Turkish swords.
She saw soft l;rnbed babies and
struggling children hurled into the
town hall 10 perish by cremation.
She saw her young husband, whose

two brothers hanged to nearby tree,
a 4-year-old sister dead with bayonet
through her small body, and the shape

was a beautiful girl" sobbed Azniv
-huddlcd with crushed skull beneath
a bedroom window, whence she had
leaped to death and honor.
Within the house he had encounter
ed Turks in his mothers room; she lay
grooming; as he gazed unseen, her
baby was born. a Turk instantly i'm

against the wall; with the hilt he
crushed the mothers skull.

In the morning she gazed upon his
sunkcn face where he lay dead CT

Too desperate for, fear, she ran to
her fathers house. Rolling to and fro
in agony upon the floor, she saw her
iG-yaar-o:d brother whom she her
self had disguised the day before in
