NOAH'S EXAMPLE

Under this headline the Evansville tInd.l Courier wonders what would have i become of Us all if "our old friend Noah had gone on strike after receiving or ders to build an ark, 300 cubts long, 50 cubts wide and 90 cubits high,", and concludes that none of us would be here growlne about the II. C. l.. and social unrest.
 If you recall the story of the events that led up to tre deluge' says the Courier, Noah was 500 year, old when notified to build an ark. He was young. Yet he was old enough to hold level head and Use it intellgentIy His job was mans job. It took more than a hundred years to complete the ark and make it ready for occupancy. There is no doubt about Noah having remained on the job. The fact We are here to- day is proof sufficient that Noah fin ished the job of building an ark. Although he worked hard and long, -Nodil IONHtA LiAiC tp pitett4A anu tO eiI To monish. But he didn't preach class hal monish. But he didn't preach class ra- tired nor envy the other fellow.

Police Pay Bill to Bring
About Hot Debate Here

When the bill increasing the pay
OF Washington policemen, passed by
the Senate last night, goes to confer
ence today. a determined fight is
more than likely to be made on the
Myers amendment prohibiting the af-
filiation OF any Organization of Gov
ernment employees with a union or
federation favoring strikes to settle
disputes.
While the drastic amendment Of
fered by Senator Myers of Montana.
which would affect approximately
100000 Federal employees probably
will be sustained, owing to the strong
opposition on the part OF Congress to
the unionization of Government en-
ployes, the fact that only twelve SEN
ators were on the floor when the
clause was adopted, may bring about
its reconsideration.
Retroactive to August 4.
The conferees appointed by the
Senate are Senator Sherman. chair
man; Senator Calder of New York
and Senator sheppard of Texas. The
bill, which is retroactive to August /,
1919, must be signed by President
Wilson before IL becomes a law. The
scale of salaries is as follows:
Major and superintendent, $4,000;
assistant superintendents, $1,000; in
spectors, s2,5o0; police surgeons,
S1,so0; captains, s2.5oo; lieutenants.
$4,000: sergeants, s1,s0o: privates OF
class 8, $3.50; privates OF class 9.
$3.50; privates of class /, s1,4e0.
All members OF the force receiving
81 500 or less will continue to receive
the Government bonus of S240.
Besides increases in the pay of un-
iformed members OF the force, the
bill also authorizes increases for
civilian employees of the police depart
ment, including police matrons, the
house of detention and harbor patrol.
Firemen's Raise Near.
Hopes for the passage af the FIRE
mems increase pay bill. which has
not yet been reported from commit
tee. now appear to be very favorable
in the light of what transpired last
night.
With another night session, Senator
sherman believes the bill can be pass
ed without trouble. Practically no
opposition to IL will be met in the
Senate, and advocates of the measure
claim the firemen have as much rea-
son for an increase in pay as the po-
licemen had.
The annual basic salaries OF the
civilian employees of the police force,
as provided in the bill, are as follows:

MANY TAGGED
. BY RED CROSS
Ten Thousand Buttons Pinned
On as Many Coat LapeIs by
Pretty Aides.

Ten thousand Red Cross buttons
had been pinned on the coat lapels
of generous washingtonians, it was
estimated at o'clock this afternoon,
after hundreds of women had been
busy since o'clock this morning in
the tag day drive to round up men
and women with hearts who had fail
ed to contribute their dollars.
The Prince of Wales was one of the
persons tagged by Red Cross work
81. Louis, was the one who tagged
the prince.
Weather Improved.
Weather conditions for the post
poned tag day were better than yes
terday, but alternate showers and
drizzles made II far from ideal. A
heavy shower was falling at the time
most of the workers reported at Red
Cross headquarters for their wells
and supplies
Promptly at o'clock the tagging
started. Pretty girls swarmed
through the offices and business
places downtown and to the outlying
business precincts. With the actual
open canvass for subscriptions to end
at midnight ii was planned to get
$4,000 more members in order that
Washington might make good on its

CITIZENS SEE HOPE
IN GARBAGE FIGHT
Strong Opposition to Municipal
Trash Reduction Plant in
Northeast Expressed.

1t appears today that the campaign
of the citizens of Trinidad. and other
sections of the northeast, against the
permanent establishment of a trash
reduction plant at MonteIlo and Mt.
Olivet roads will net favorable re-
suits.
The District government has con-
fiscated the Washington Reduction
plant, located in Trinidad, and local
officials today intimatd that Con-
gress would be asked to appropriate
at least 100000 TO erect a municipal
owned plant to be built in an outlying
section of the city.
In view Of the widespread opposi-
ton to the location of the present re-
duction plant there seems to be iit-
tie likelihood the District Commission
ers will favor the purchasing Of re-
duction company's plant.
William +. Kelly. vice president of
the reduction company. has notified
the District that the company pro-
tests against the seizure of the re-
duction plants as illegal. He says.
in part:
"The Commissioners hold they had
a legal right to take over the prop
crty. Mr.. Kelly last week notified
the Commissioners that the companies
could no longer continue to fill their
contract. Lack of funds, due to fail
urc to make the trash collection n
paying proposition, was assigned as
the cause.
1.-THE District probably will use the
reduction plant until Congress ap-
propriates money to build q new
plant. or until July 1, 1921, when the
private contracts are ended.

HOUSING EXPERTS
FAVOR FEDERAL AID
Communities Need Advice in
Present Shortage, They
Tell Committee.

The Bolshevik Is the man without
nome. He has nothing to protect
and nothing to lose"
This was the tenor of argument
this morning by housing experts and
social welfare workers who appeared
before the House Public Buildings
and Grounds Committee to urge a
favorable report on the bill by Con-
gresham George II. Tinkham, CT
Massachusetts, to create a Bureau of
Housing and Living Conditions, in
the Department of Labor.
A delegation of forty-three social
welfare workers attended the hear
ing.
DR.. Caroline Bartletet Crane, of Kali
amazoo, Mich, a director of the
League OF Women Voters, told the
committee that in her investigation of
housing conditions In fifty-three
cities, she has learned that lack of
housing facilities IN Gripping many
important Industries, because the
workers are being forced to leave.
She recommended a central bureau
of housing such as is proposed in the
Tinkham bill. 1t would give aid TO
communities In housing matters and
in home building in the same manner
that the Department of Agriculture,
farming communities.
J. Horace Mcfarland, OF Harris
burg, Pa, president OF the American
Civic Association, declared that the
Government during the war, sent out
literature on the subject of housing
that upset and unsettled all establish
ed ideas OF housing and home-build-
ing.
at Is now up to the Government to
settle IT," he said. 81 consider the
most valuable salvage we have from
the war to be the mass OF information
we have got together in the various
housing projects the Government has
undertaken in the past two or three
years"
Mr.. Tinkham, author of the bill.
explained that the proposed bureau
would have the following duties:
To investigate housing and living
conditions of the industrial popula-
ton.
Conduct research aud experimental

of such information as will make
practicable the elimination of slums,

LOCAL STEAM ENGINEERS
ASK A new WAGE SCALE

The International Order of Steam
and Operating Engineers. Local 90,
last night began the preparation OF a
new wage scale which will be sub
mitted TO their employers. The or
ganization having a membership of
more than 500, many of whom are en-
ployes in the Navy Yard and Govern
ment departments, declares that the
present salaries are insufficient to
meet present living conditions.
Because OF the various wage scales
in effect now, several committees
were appointed to draft the new de-
mands, which probably will be COM
pleted in time to be presented at the
meeting next Tuesday.
