PETTY OFFICERS IN
NAVY TO GET RAISE

Favorable action on recommends
tions for an increase of 80 per cent
In the pay of naval officers and OF
so per cent in the compensation of
enlisted men is foreshadowed by the
agreement of the House Naval Affairs
Subcommittee that,Nto prevent fur
ther designations of petty officers,
substantial increases are to be ac-
corded them.
This course was determined upon
following the testimony of Rear Ad-
miral T. ]. Cowie, of the navy pay
corps. He warned the committee that
"the morale of the navy is going to
crack unless relief is had and had
soon"
Rear Admiral Cowie so convinced
the committee of the urgent neces-
sity Of increasing the morale of the
navy by boosting the pay of the per-
sonnel that Congressman Oliver of
Alabama, initiated the recommends
tion for increased pay for petty Off.
GERS. Mr.. Oliver said he was, sure
the House would approve the in
creases If the report of the subcom-
mittee received unanimous vote OF
the full committee.
Accordingly. the committee decided
informally that chief petty officers
be instructed that the bill to be re-
ported will contain a provision in
creasing their pay so as to average
from 500 10 s128 month.
Admiral Cowie submitted various
tables and data showing the needs of
officers and men. He pointed out that
there has been no increase in pay for
eleven years, while the cost of living
has been getting higher all the time
Pursuant to an act of Congress au-
thorizing him to pay cash awards
to civilians, employees of the navy.

Secretary Daniels has prescribed
rules and regulations. A circular let
ter, accompanied by blanks and direc-
tions, has been issued to fully inform
as to the manner of submitting ideas
and obtaining the earliest considera-

been made for persons in civil life

and will be compelled to reduce the
personnel proportionately. The date
set for the release of this $50 was de-
termined by the proposed time OF
opening the Registry Of the Treasury
at which date that department will
need more than 500 clerks.
The plan is to transfer all the per-
manent clerks to that department and
take steps to put the temporary ones
on a permanent status so they, too
may benefit by the opening of the
new department building"
Outside of the Registry of the
Treasury. Colonel Wainer, said, al
most hundred clerks already have
been placed in departments such az
Loans and Currency, Internal Reve-
nue. and the Department of Justice
There also are those who have Sc
cured employment through their own
efforts, he said, SO when the whole
situation Is boiled down the few who
will find themselves without work
will be those temporary clerks who
were unable to qualify under the
civil service.

colleague, Mr.. Dinwiddie. sounded the
day after Ohio mad voted. but con-
fined himself to the issue now raised
by the people of Ohio
The proclamation" Mr. Wheeler
said, shows that thirty-six States
had ratified by January 1s. 1919. 1t
did not include all the States which
had ratified by that date. Missouri
and Wyoming also ratified the amend
ment on January Is. Two States can
be lost from the number and there
would be no change in the date when
the nation goes dry under the Fed
eral Constitution.
The Secretary OF State is custodian
Of the records relating to ratification.
Int SooEb VIII loOk 10 Inese records 10
find when thirty-six States rati-
fed. The records prove that thirty
eight ratified on January 16, forty by
January II, forty-one by January 81,
torty-two by January %, forty-f four
by January 2s, and forty-ive by
February 25. The Secretary of State
cannot change the record. II SO, he
would have more power as a minis
terial officer than the legislatures
and Congress"
Mr.. Wheeler admits that II ten
States out OF the fifteen which have
the right of referendum should
repudiate the action of their legisla-
lures and IL the Supreme Court should
support the ruling Of the Ohio su-
preme court the Eighteenth Amend
ment would be defeated, but he re-
fuses to agree that the elimination
OF Ohio will postpone the dry season
for another year.
