cording to announcement of Luther c.
Seward, president of the organization,
last night.
Having obtained compromise in
the House between the salary increase
provided by the appropriations COM
mittee and the dollar-a-day increase
asked by the federation, the plan now
is to present the request for the
larger Increase to the Senate, asking
that the House bill be so amended as
to carry the requested increase.
we asked for was not granted" said
President Steward last night. at is
gratifying to note that public senti-
ment as reflected in Congress as at
last recognized the just claims of fed
eral employees for relief from the in
tolerable conditions imposed upon
them through the tremendous in
crease in the cost Of living. The ap-
preparations committee of the House
reported but 1920 increase. the same
as last year, but we were able to con-
vince the House membership in gen.
eral that this was wholly inadequate,
and the House voted us an increase of
$40 per year.
'The dollar-a-day increase. or $3.50
per year, however, was a just and
reasonable expectation. and we shall
now ask the Senate to amend the Leg
islative bill as passed by the House,
and raise the increase to that
amount"

LONDON. January 1s-The In
dustrial unrest prevalent throughout
the country Is causing serious anxi-
city, not only to large employers of
labor. but even to conservative labor
leaders. The labor leaders taking
this attitude include J. H. Thomas,
general secretary Of the railwaymen's
union. who yesterday warned meet
ing Of postal workers, who were de-
handing forty-two-hour' week,
more holidays and curtailment Of
night work, that "the Industrial and
economic position Of this country
gives cause for alarm"
The postal workers are only one
OF many trade unions which are de-
manding shorter hours with the
present or better pay. Up to this
time the demands Of the miners have
been embodied in the resolutions of
the Southport Miners Federation,
which on Wednesday demanded that
the government demobilixe all miners
in the Army and that wages other
than war wages be advanced 80 per
cent.

SCHOOL JAN|TORS
ASK FOR MORE PAY
Follow Teachers of the Dis
trict in Plea for Increased
Compensation.
MANY QUITTING SERVICE

Coupled with an agitation by the
High School Teachers Unions. the
Grade School Teachers Union and the
Federated Committees of Teachers
Unions of the District. all looking
for higher wages for school teachers
here in order to restore the buying
power Of the dollar" a plea for higher
salaries for janitors has been ad-
vanced by the Janitors and School
Custodians' Union Of Washington.
An open letter, addressed to the
newspapers of the city gives in detail
some grievances which the janitors
are asking to have ameliorated and
states reasons why many public
schools have been forced to close re-
Gently.
THE reason why so many schools
have been compelled to close and why
lists is because at least 80 per cent
of the janitorial force quit the service
during the past year on account of
the low wages paid them and the poor
conditions under which they are COM
PEELED to work." the letter says in
part.
Range Of Janitors, Pay. :
'The salaries of the janitors of the
public schools range from $3.50 for
an eight-room building to $1,000 for
the high schools, plus the $3.50 year
bonus. Therefore the direct reason
the great shortage OF janitors is the
low wages being paid, the long work.
ing day and the continuous resignation
Of janitors from jobs for which they
are not paid properly. No further
argument Is needed to show the citi-
their schools were closed and why
their children have had to lose time
from their studies"
L. v. Lampson, national organizer
of the American Federation of Teach
ers, last night called attention to the
Of schools, in which Mr.. Thurston
said:
at has only been with the utmost
difficulty and at the expense of a
serious amount Of time and energy
tive officers and the white board of
examiners that 1t has been possible
TO keep the schools running with any
degree of efficiency this year.
attempts were made to secure train
ed teachers from other localities by
means Of set examinations open to all
who were qualified. Hundreds APP
piled for information, but few Of
those who had applied had proper
qualifications or cared to take the test
when they learned how low a salary
schedule was in force.''
The superintendent follows these re-
marks with a general comparison Of
salaries in Washington with those
paid public school teachers in other
cities.
ut should be stated, however," he
said, that even higher schedules are
not serving to prevent material loss
of teachers. We are justified in stand
ing for a schedule sufficiently high to
attract and hold a capable teaching
force and experienced officers and give
q fair recompense."
The superintendent also makes a
plea for more teacher substitutes COM
potent to I'LL the places of teachers
sick or absent from duty.
