or the 10000 salary questionable
cards today being collected from Fed
eral employees in the District by COM
mittees of the various departments
appointed by the Congressional Joint
Commission on Reconsideration Of
Salaries, it is estimated that at least
10 per cent, or about 10000, Of the

vestigation by the commission be-
cause OF discrepancies.

for increased salary for work dome

HURT BY LACK
. Of WELCOME
ATtiIIerymen at Camp Stuart
Fear People of District Do
Not Appreciate Efforts.

CAMP STUART, Va, May %
Dissatisfaction because Of the an
nouncement that no parade would be
held in Washington is being openly
expressed by the Washington Of
Ulcers and men OF the 10th Field
Artillery Regiment at this camp to-
day.
ltumors are spreading rapidly
through the three Washington artil-
lery batteries to the effect the citi-
zens' welcome home committee and
other committees affiliating are
showing discrimination. The artil
lerymen believe plans are being
made in Washington to give a re-
ception. The main feature of which
will be the 312th Machine Gun Bat
talon marching in battalion forma-
ton down Pennsylvania avenue.
No Greeting Given.
Because there was no delegation on
hand 10 greet them at the whaTves
when they reached this country. and
because there have been none but
newspaper men visit them as repre-
sentatives of the Nations Capital,
these men are of the belief that the
time they spent in France is not ap-
pTeciated.
The men want to parade in Wash
tngton. They want Washington to
openly express appreciation Of their
work in France.
Since these boys arrived at camp,
delegations from BaltimOrC-frOm
Governor Harrington down-have
visited them. Just a half hour after
they arrived at this camp they were
given big chicken dinner. They ask
ed who provided it-they were told it
was from the people of Baltimore.
When The Times representative talk
ed to the committee Of welcome from
Baltimore the first question put to
him was: Why didn't Washington do
the same as we did,
When news reached here today an
excursion would be made from
Washington to Newport News to
greet the 3l2th Machine Gun Battal-I
ion the men showed signs OF jeal-
ousy.
Only a few Washington people are
at this camp. They are the immedi-
ate relatives OF the boys, mothers,
fathers. brothers and sisters. They
are glad TO see the men back. But
they think Washington is not glad
with them.

q Citizens opposed to the establish

ous refuse of the District at a site ad-
Joining Mt Olivet Cemetery and Ivy
City, and in close proximity TO the
homes of many people and the Co
iumbia Institution fer the Deaf and
Dumb, made a strong showing of
protest before the Commissioners to-
day in the special hearing granted
them
Not only was the claim made by
attorneys that the granting of the
permit would be in violation Of health
end IRE regulations but the strongest
sort OF argument was advanced that
even IL this plant does not give out
obnoxious odors, which all the pro-
festants doubted, its very location,
the nature OF its work, and the char
acter Of people to be employed by il,
will be offensive to people who have
their homes in that vicinity.
D. H. York, a painter living in the
northeastern suburbs. made an especi-
ally strong talk. He explained that
as q PAINTER there are tons Of paint
refuse, pots and cans going to the
refuse dumps and he believed ii to

feared the location of the plant would
