Plan Restored.

The District appropriation bill. with
the half-and-half plan restored. will
be laid before the Senate appropria-
lions committee tomorrow morning by
the subcommittee which has redrafted
the House bill. It is expected that
the full committee will concur in the
action Of the subcommittee replacing
In the bill the half-and half method
of appropriating for the District,
which was eliminated by the House.
The sentiment in favor Of the half
and-half plan among senators, who
believe that the plan Is Just and rea-
sonable. is said to be strong.
The subcommittee in charge of the
District bill. of which Senator Curtis
of Kansas Is chairman, also amended
the bill SO as to extend the provisions
of the federal employees compensation
act to the employees Of the District. A
similar amendment was made by the
Senate to the District bill at the last
session.
The full committee will probably
complete its work on the District bill
tomorrow and order It reported. In
that case Senator Curtis will report
the bill to the Senate Monday and
seek action on it at the earliest op-
portunfty.

Ask Representative on Wage Board

Local No SO, the municipal employees
branch of the National Federation Of
Federal Employees. prepared today to
urge actively upon the Commissioners
the designating of a representative of
that body to serve on the wage board.
This organization is composed al
most entirely of clerks over whose
rates of pay the wage board has no
Jurisdiction. but some of its members
are laborers that are not affiliated
with the City Employees Association.
The wage board. at the request of
the Commissioners, considered the
case of the per diem clerks and rec
commended that no reduction be made
in their salaries.
The boards recommendation that
the basic rates of pay of skilled and
unskilled laborers be reduced to alb
serb the additional bonus Of $3.50 to
be paid after July l Is made in ac-
cordance with its Interpretation of the
act Of Congress granting the bonus.

Threatened strike Of District en-
ployes waited. today upon the outcome
of conference to be held tomorrow
afternoon between Engineer Commits
sioner kutz and Joseph H. Hurley,
president of the City Employees Union.
To Meet Laborers Tomorrow Night.
Mr.. Hurley expects to take to mass
meeting of District laborers in o
Street armory tomorrow night definite
word as to whether they will be given
the additional bonus of $40 to be paid
government clerks after July l.
This information probably will lead
to determination at that time as to
whether there is to be strike.
Clerks and other employees not affil-
lated with Mr.. Hurlcys organization,
who are now paid per diem rates but
are threatened with reduction to the
statutory salaries paid them before the
war, are working along different lines
to obtain relief While these men are
opposed to a strike. they threaten to re-
sign in considerable number If reduced
in pay. They have sent telegram to
the American Federation Of Labor ask
ing the assistance of that organization.

ANOTHER LIBERTY LOAN.

The necessity for another Liberty
Loan is being emphasized by Mr.. L. B.
Franklin, of Washington, Director of
War Loan Organization, in conferenc-
es with Liberty Loan officials in Fed
eral Reserve Districts throughout the
country. Mr.. Franklin is now in the
South, having visited Atlanta and
New Orleans He expects to hold
conferences in every district within
the next few weeks
1t is explained by Mr.. Franklin that
the Government must meet the enor-
nous outstanding obligations for was
contracts. Production of ships, muni-
tions of war, and material of all kinds
had reached the desired stage when
the armistice was signed. The expen-
ses incurred must be met although
fighting has ceased. Revenues from
taxes and other sources will not be
sufficient to cover the indebtedness.
therefore the Treasury Department
viii ask for another loan, said Mr..
Franklin.
The banks of the country cannot be
expected to underwrite this bond IS
sue. With the restoration Of peace
and return of normal trade conditions.
banks will need all available money fo-
commercial purposes. To burden
them with the obligation of absorbing
an issue of several billion dollars
would stifle business and interfere
with trade. The Fifth Loan must be
fioated out of the earnings and savings
Of the people.
The amount of the issue and interest
the bonds will bear will be determine
by the Treasury Department early in
the Spring The date Of the loan ha,
not been decided upon, but il is be-
heved that the Treasury Departmen,
VIII select some date in April for the
beginning. In the meantime. plans
are being made to float an issue as
large as the Fourth Liberty Loan-
six billion dollars.
