Salary Equalization.

Restoration TO the legislative appro-
priation bill OF the provision FOR q sal
ary reclassifcation commission by Sen
ate committee should result in its en-
aetment. 1t was struck out of the bill
in tho House ON technically, though
no opposition to the plan OF question
as to its need developed
One OF the most urgent necessities
of the departmental service today is =
readjustment OF the pay. not merely
in respect to the scale, which should be
increased. but in the application Of the
scale to different classes of workers in
the various bureaus and Offices. In
equahties exist on all sides. Men and
women doing identical work with the
same degree of skill and efficiency aud
fidelity get widely different salaries,
often in the same division. One de-
paftment or bureau has one rate for
particular lines of service, and in an
other Office the same kind of work is
rated at lower valuation. There is no
uniformity whatever save that the pay
scale is divided into fixed gradations.
which have little relation to the length
of service, the experience or the
capacity of the workers.
This condition inevitably breeds dis
content and that in turn causes demon
alization. A disconnected working force
is not an efficient force. Workers in
one department who see those who do
precisely the same sort of work IN an
other department getting half again
as much money cannot fab to feel
disheartened. OF course, many factors
enter into the compensation question,
some of which the worker cannot him
self judge correctly. But the gross in
CAPABILITIES such as exist all through the
departmental service are not all to be
explained on any ground of peculiar
fitness or special adaptability or Ion
gevity.
An equalization commission will be
good investment. The Senate com
| mittee cuts down the expense allow
ance from $4,000, as fixed iHghe orig
inal item, to $4,000. Whatever the
cost of the inquiry it will be profit
able expenditure if the findings are
carried into effect promptly and thu
government service is standardized, a:
is done by all modern, well managed
business.

Suburban Passengers and Transfers

Suburban Passengers and Transfers.
There is something extremely iIIog
zeal in the denial of intereompauy

states, while granting them to pas
sengers whose trips on the suburban

Interference with interstate rates
This ground however, is not eouvine
ing The passengers who commute
buying either combination fare or dual
fare tickets from the companies oper-
ating in Maryland and Virginia, are on
exactly the same basis when they reach

are those who pay cash fares inside

the District fare is collected in ad-
vance. at the rate Of 5 cents trip.
and all coupons not used ut the end of

self an Injustice To deny these peo-

as gross an inequity as can be con-
ceived. Assuredly a way TO correct it

Labor and Politics.

There will be no national labor
party, Samuel Gompers declares. He
is quoted On the subject as fellows:
= ssWhile local and central bodies and
state federations may enter into the
political field either independently,er
otherwise, the council decided that il
not within the province of. the central
bodies to form or become part of a ma
tional labor party" -
A very wise decision, rejecting credit
on all the members of the council--the
executive council of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. -
The wage-earners of the country
the men who work with their hands
have always taken an active interest in
politics, as was both their right and
their duty. AS citizens they have as
sisted at the polls, and we have had
the better government because Of the
fact. They have made themselves felt
in the choice of good men for office,
as also in the enactment of good laws
whereby all have benefited. ~
But they have not acted as pohti-
cal body. Indeed, whenever the effort
has been made-and it has been made
all too often-to deliver the labor vote
solidly to either party, in city, state,
congressional or presidential contests,
it has failed. Laboring men have re-
served to themselves the right to make
their own choice among candidates and
policies, and have properly resented
the pretensions of those within and
those without their own ranks to shep-
herd them on election day.
This course should be continued. In
the matter of legislation, labor wants
the best, for others as we'll as for it
self. If it kept its heart and mind
fixed exclusively on its own interests, it
would not fulfill the complete obliga-
tons of citizens. There are many in
terests in this country, alk entitled
to consideration. ALL indeed, are in
the same boat A distinct injury to
one is, in way, distinct injury to all.
Popular government means co-opera-
ton for the general welfare.
Labor and capital both have done
their duty in the matter of the war,
and now that peace has been restored
both are entitled to reward And that
reward will be safer and richer if they
show regard for each other; if they
sideration, and cooperate in the COM
mon behalf. A national labor party
would, undI1 our form of government,
be as muc tut of place as national
capital party.
