POLICE PAY BOOST
O.K.DBY COMMITTEE

CONTINUED from First Page.)
Brownlow explained, because we
plan at the earliest possible moment
to ask for a liberal increase for the
patrol drivers and other civilian en-
ployes OF the Police Department"
Mr.. BroWnloW said there were
hirty-five patrol drivers in the depart
ment; that they draw 5000 a year
salary and work twelve hours a day,
seven days a week.
Congressman Loren Wheeler, who
has fought for the interests Of the
patrol drivers during the present ses-
sion, and who got through the House
a bill to give the drivers the benefits
OF the retirement fund, asserted that
the patrolmen have snubbed the
drivers
Major Pullman said that those
drivers should certainly have more
money"
BrOwnlOw To Urge Boost.
\ Mr.. Brownlow said he had planned,
Should the pending bill pass, TO ap-
pear before the House Appropriations
Committee and at that time TO ask
for an increase for the patrol drivers.
Congressman FIorian Lampert IA
vored "a 50 day minimum for the
privates of police, with a provision
for a 1920 a year increase for a GER
tain number of years" He opposed
raising salaries OF higher officials of
the department until the privates are
cared for.
II favor an increase all along the |
line, and i believe this committee
will urge such a BILL" Mr. Murphy
said.
There was some discussion of pIac- |
ing the patrol drivers under civil |
service. In that way they would de-
rive all the benefits of civil service, |
and would be on a par with patrol
men.
No agreement was reached on a
minimum wage for the patroImen.
This and other details will be left
to the special committee OF five, to
determine during the House recess.

Meyers Cites Statistics.

Senator Meyers pointed out that the
general stock OF money in the United
States on July 1. 1914, was $3.73S, go
345, while on July l. 1919, it was 81
58S, 473,7 III. This increase in money,
Senator Meyers maintained. CORE
spends with the increase in living
costs and he declared that the in
creased amount of money was re-
sponsible.
Many other members of the Senate
are bending their efforts toward legis-
lation to reduce living costs. Senator
Kenyon is considering the advisability
of drafting a bill to limit profits. He
also expressed the belief that his bill
regulating the packers would serve to
reduce living costs.
"It may appear that we are not do
ing anything" said Senator Gronna of
North Dakota, chairman OF the Agri-
culture Committee of the Senate, but
we are studying the question. Per
sonally ! believe that there are too
many factors in this problem of the
high cost OF living for any quick
remedy. Much as ] desire it, do not
believe the people can look for any
immediate relief from the high cost Of
living"
The Washington times., 1919-08-01
Would Reduce Currency.

Reduction of the amount of money
in circulation as a remedy for the
high cost of living was before the
Senate today, with Senator Meyers Of
Montana urging that Congress take
Immediate steps to reduce the amount
of currency and bring living costs
down.
Senator Meyers contends that the
Federal Reserve Board has issued cur
rency to such an extent that living
costs have increased and that with a
gradual reduction OF the currency in
circulation there will come a decrease
in the cost OF all commodities.
Secretary Glass has placed before
the Senate a statement that no emer-
gency money has been issued by the
Federal Reserve banks. but that Re
serve bank notes have been issued to
afford an elastic currency" Secre-
tary Glass declares the power to with
draw these notes and to determine
what amount of currency rests with
