WASHINGTON PLANS BIG
irrigation Project

Pullman, Wash, Mar. 29.-The
Columbia basin irrigation project
provided for by the recent session of
the Washington legislature, probably
will distribute water to greater
acreage than any other single ditch
now in existence if carried through
to successful completion, according to
the statement of Professor o. L.
Waller, a member of the faculty OF
Washington state ollege and Of the
commission to which the preliminary
survey has been entrusted.
This is saying great deal" said
Professor Waller, "for India has
50,000.000 acres of land under irri-
cation and Egypt has about 6,000,-
900. In the Columbia project there
will be about 100000 acres OF
land, though all Of 1t may not be at
the right level for irrigation"

FEDERAL EMPLOYEES ASK
ONE DOLLAR MORE DAY
Dissatisfied With $40 a Year In
crease Proposed in Bill in

Dissatisfied with the proposal mere
crease of salaries of federal en-
ployes granted last year, as embodied
in the pending legislative, executive
and judiciary appropriation bill re-
ported to the House by the House
appropriations committee, the Ma
tional Federation of Federal EN-
ployes will urge amendment provid-
ing for an increase of dollar a day,
or $500 a year.
While the committee proposes in
vestigation and Redistribution of
salaries. the result of this finding is
too remote to content the organiza-
ton of government workers, as any
benefits could not be effective until
the next fiscal year.
The committee has ignored the fact
that living costs have risen and that,
with salaries stationary, the condi-
ton of the government employees has
grown steadily worse and worse"
said President Luther G. Steward of
the federation.
There are thousands of govern
ment employees who are receiving less
than living wage, to say nothing of
just compensation, and the increase
f at least a dollar day is absolute
ly necessary if they are to support
themselves and their families in
health and deceney.
Our membership, representing
every branch of the service. in every
part of the country, is demanding,
and expects to secure, as fair treat
ment as that accorded to other
American wage workers."
