POLICE AND FIRE FORCE
RESERVATIONS FEARED
Effect of Dropping Them From
Bonus Eligibles Is Alarming
to Officials.

Members of the police and fire de-
partments Were disappointed over the
recommendation included in the leg
lslatve, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill that they be dropped
from the list of employees receiving
the S240 bonus during the next fiscal
year.
Officers of the fire department ex-
pressed the fear that many of the
young men who came into the depart
ment in the last half of 1919 on the
expectation of receiving an increased
wage and the bonus will resign at
the end of this fiscal year if Con
Eress cuts out the bonus beginning
July ].
Prior to the granting Of the pay in
creases with the bonus included II
December. the fire department had a
turnover" of about twenty men a
month. Since the salary increase bill
became effective only one fireman has
resigned.
Members of the police department
also are hoping Congress VIII not
take the bonus from them while the
cost of living remains at its present
height.
The police department. prior to the
granting of the present pay scale
and the bonus, experienced even more
difficulty than the fire department IN
keeping the force intact.

The most serious blow ever struck

acterized the action of the appro-
priations committee in cutting for
eign trade estimates of the depart

this bill proposes to scrap the Amer

smoothest running that any govern

At the very time when other gov

Slap at Foreign Trade.
almost on the day when our mer-

tually announced that foreign trade
is not worth supporting. Just as our

themselves in a position to finance
our trade as efficiently as other coun- :
tries finance it it is discovered that
foreign-trade promotion is n waste
of money On the brink of uncertain
