Increase in Salaries Asked

GERS. it was declared in brief pre-
scented in behalf OF the applied sociai
workers of the District to the joint
congressional commission on reclas-
sification of salaries yesterday after
noon.
Justice Frederick L. Siddons of the
District Supreme Court. on behalf OF
the chief probation officer and assist
ant probation officer of that court.
declared that the probation officer is
as much a part of the court as the
Judge. and has become so much a
part of the judicial machinery that
the court is unable to separate It,
Higher Pay Elsewhere Cited.
The salary of the probation officer,
Justice Siddons declared. is grossly
below what it should be. He cited
instances of salaries received by pro-
baton officers in other cities, where
the probation officer often does not
have to deal with adult probationers,
as in the District, but where the SAL
aries are a great deal larger, never
theless.
Salaries for probation officer in
Philadelphia and Chicago were given
while the salary of the chief proba-
ton officer in question here is but
$4,000, it was stated.

ment of Labor, directors of labor law
enforcement. school attendance Off
GERS, welfare officers. investigators of
the board of charities. the superin-
tendent of the municipal lodging
house, investigators of the board of

ers in applied social endeavor asked
for increased salaries.
Lady Bountifuls" no longer can do
this work, according to the joint brief
presented in behalf of the workers. A
great shortage exists now in trained
social workers, Mrs. Edith King of
New York told the Redistribution
commission, and adequate salaries
must be paid if the government wants
to secure adequate workers. All these
classes of workers. it was brought
out, handle delicate human relations.
Workers with the social hygiene
board did not particularly ask for in
creased salaries, owing to the fact
that they regard their salaries as ade-
uuate, having been appointed some
what recently. These salaries, it was
declared in the general brief. point to
what the government should pay the
older workers in applied social work,
many of whom are on statutory sal
aries fixed years ago.

BRYAN--H|TCHCOCK
HATCHETBURY|NG
HELD SIGNIFICANT
Former Secretary's Stand
for Treaty Compromise and
Other Views Interest.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

William Jennings Bryan, oldest HV-
ing candidate for the presidency ana
veteran politician. whose boast is that
he was running for the presidency
long before anybody being mentioned
to the general public, has injected
himself into the treaty controversy
not only but into the political situa-
ton within the democratic party.
Brother BryanS views on current
events were made known to a gather
ing of democratic senator's here the
other night at which certain we'll
known views which the commoner
has espoused during the last twenty
wears were resurrected, together with
certain new ones. which he believes
the democratic party should adopt in
it's platform in the next campaign.
SO far as the treaty fight is con-
cerned the significant fact is that Mr..
BRYAN is for a compromise. He would
like to see. for instance. reservation
providing for the direct election by
the people of the United States of
their representative in the council of
the league of nations. But he be-
lieves that something can be worked
out of the pending reservations in or
der to bring the treaty out of the Sen
ate.
His Ideas Like Hitchcock's.
Really his ideas approximate more
closely those of Senator Hitchcock of
Nebraska than those of Senator I'm
derwood of Alabama.
Apart from its possible bearing on
the democratic caucus tomorrow
wherein minority leader is to be
chosen-and it seems assured that Mr.
Hitchcock will be elected-there is
Enthusiastically an interesting devel-
opment in Mr.. Bryan's tendency to
bury the Ratchet with the senator
from his home state. For years the
feeling between Messrs. Bryan and
Hitchcock on politics inside the demo-
cratic party has been none too pleas
ant which accounted. indeed. for the
lack of warmth at one time on the
part of the Nebraska senator for the
incumbent of the White House be-
cause of the latter'S excessive leaning
toward the former Secretary of State
esDecially in matters of patronage.
But it appears that as between Mr.
BRYAN and Mr.. Hitchcock bygones are
rapidly beginning to be bygones, and
the campaign of 1920 can be discussed
without pre- ,udice. Incidentally, the
entire gathering of democratic sena-
tors proceeded on the assumption that

WANTS DRY BAN LIFTED

Representative Richard Olney of
Massachusetts called at the White
House today to urge President Wilson
to proclaim demobiliza ton immedi-
ately with a view TO lifting the war
time prohibition ban.
Mr.. Olney said his request was
based on completion of demobliza-

holding the validity of the wartime
law virtually had invited the Presi-
dent to proclaim rehabilitation, and
that it was the intention of Congress
to give the liquor interests one year
before constitutional prohibition in
which to dispose of their stocks.
