Hired Hessians.

The half German king, George III
of England, employed about 10000
troops from 30 different German states.
especially from Hesse, against the col
onists, before the United States was a
nation. The reason was that the war
was very unpopular, few men enlisted
and the government dared not con.
script Englishmen to fight their broth

At meeting of the state highway

ever, the engineers on the proposed

William G. Galliher Of Galliher
and Huguely. lumber merchants. is
another example of the truth OF the
old adage like father. like SON."
His father. w. T. Galliher. made
his start in the plank and lath busi-
ness and William G. has been "lum-
bering" along in his fathers foot
steps ever since. Furthermore. he
is just as interested in Washing
toms welfare as his father.
William G. Galliher was born in
this city back in 1881. and he at
tended the local public schools and
Eastern High school. About that
time he began to be afflicted with
a wandering spirit, which led him
to forsake the District for St. Louis,
Mo. Here he obtained positions
with a buggy manufacturer and d
wholesale millinery firm, just for
variety. .
By 1902 he had become settled
enough~in disposition to come back
to Washington and begin work with
his father in the lumber industry.
He learned the business pretty
in the ten years follow
ing. SO that in 1912 he opened his
own office down southwest on the
James Creek Canal. near N street.
This first location resulted from
the purchase by himself and G. W.
Huguely of a lumber yard there.
Four years later he moved head
quarters to his present site on Sher-
man avenue and w street, where he
and Mr.. Huguely do a rush business
with local construction firms.
During the war Galliher and
Huguely furnished the government
with lumber for the CONSTRUCTION of
Walter Reed Hospital extensions.
Washington Barracks. Camp Meade
and Camp Humphrey buildings and
numerous other emergency projects.
This firm is generally accredited as
the largest in the city.
Mr.. Galliher has long been prom
inent on the Board of Trade. lie
belongs to the new City Club and
to the Lafayette Lodge of the Ma
sonic fraternity. He is married and
has a son years old.

Members of the Library chapel are
waiting impatiently for some financial
relief to meet the steadily mounting
cost of living. Seventy-five cents an
hour, garnished with holiday pay.
annual leave, and bonuses. will help
some to restore the printer to his pre-
war status among skilled workmen.
We are hoping that this raise, hav-
ing been under consideration since
January. will become available July
1. perhaps with back pay. as was done
in the case OF railroad employees. II
merchants knew that July / is the
only date upon which the mass OF
employees in the Government Printing
once can secure more wages. no

to raise the price of commodities.

that the Office has discretion as to

at the rate OF price and one-haIf. 1t
is pointed out that the law makes
mention of the matter, no limitation
being placed upon the pay for extra
hours and this absence OF legislation
is considered to leave the matter in
the hands of the office. No advice
from the controller OF the treasury
is at hand forbid6ing this practice,
