MEN IF
PAY IS RAISED
Wage Scale Revision Means Big
Cut in Navy Yard Force,
Says Capt. Robinson.

A material reduction in the number
of employees at the Washington navy
Yard and the forty-two other yards
throughout the country would come
with an upward revision of the wage
scale of yard workers, declared Capt.
]. X. Robinson, chairman of the Naval
Wage Board. when he heard repre-
sentatives of chauffeurs at the wage
hearings today.
This appears to me as the only
right thing to do" he continued. I'VE
must cut our cloth. Our appropria-
tion is limited, and 1t Is impossible to
grant a wage increase without reduc-
ing the personnel
The wage board expects to finish
its hearings today. Representatives
Of chauffeurs. teamsters. storehouse-
men, laborers, helpers and technical
men appeared before the board this
morning.
An increase in wages, such as re-
quested b the $4,000 Navy Yard en-
ployes, would cost an extra 100000
day. However. it is practically
certain the wage board will not rec
oomme end as much as one-half OF the
raise asked by the men.
DEPARTMENT EXPLAINS.
The Navy Department. in a recent
bulletin, has made 1t clear to the en-
ployes that a wage raise means a re-
duction in personnel. Here Is an ex-
cerpt from the bulletin:
THE rates will be decided and de-
termined on by the department Sep
tember /. 1920. but to put into effect
the general readjustment contem-
plated September l. will require ma
terial reduction in the forces in all
branches to secure the necessary
funds"
There is an existing agreement be-
tween ship yard employers and the
Navy Department that the wages
paid by both shall be the same. II
the navy yard increases pay, thenthe
basic wage schedule will be in excess
of that at the shipyards.
1t was pointed out today that the
naval wage board was not compelled
to follow this agreement, for several
reasons. Workers in the shipyards
are receiving bonuses and are max
ing overtime pay, in addition to sew
eral other indirect ways of pay in
creases. Navy yard employees are re-
ceiving the $240 bonus, but are not
permitted to make overtime.
BASIC PAY SITUATION.
The men in the shipyards make
more than the Navy Yard employees.
despite the fact the basic pay is the
same" one official of the Navy De-
partment said today. THE only thing
that can he done to bring the pay
scales up to an equality is to in
crease the Navy Yard basis pay"
w. A. Berry appeared before the
wage board in behalf OF laborers and
helpers. He asked 81 day in
crease over the basic pay OF $3.6s. In
addition the men now get the rs cents
a day bonus.
All OF the men who appeared be-
fore the board today asked for in
creases ranging from 20 to 25 cents
an hour.

Commission Invites Public to
Semi-Daily Sessions
Lasting Week.

With but two days remaining be
fore public hearings begin, members
OF the District zoning Commission
today took under consideration
numerous changes in the announced
tentative coming regulations as recon-
mended by the Board OF Trade ana
Rotary Club.
The commission is desirous OF ef-
fecting as many necessary changes
as possible before Monday morning
Numerous suggestions are in the COM
missions offices. and are now being
given careful consideration.
At 1913 Monday morning, and con-
tinuing until the afternoon OF Friday
August 13. the coming commission
will hold public hearings, both morn
ings and afternoons In the board room
OF the District Building.
PUBLIC INVITED.
The commission extends an invi-
tation TO the general public. Con-
structive suggestions are welcome.
Protests against the present regula-
tlons will be received and changes
recommended will be taken under con
sideration.
From Friday, August IS, TO the end
of this month, the commission VIII
work on the fnal details of zoning
Washington. Announcement OF the
permanent regulations to govern the
city after September / will be made
the last week in August
The Rotary Club, after an hours
discussion yesterday, recommended
the following changes to the commits
sion:
1--WE recommend that the heights
- Co. k,.tI In A tsr
value commercial district remain the
same as now prescribed by law.
Amended so that the height for build
ings on the north side of Pennsyl-
vania avenue be restricted to 13o feet
instead of 100 feet.
WOULD CHANGE MAP.
I've suggest that this district
cover the area bounded by First
street northwest on the east, by
Twenty-second street northwest on
the west: by B street on the south
and by NJ street on the north. This
Is exclusive Of Sixteenth street from
Lafayette square to NJ street.
"3-That in the residential district
buildings may be erected to a height
not exceeding four stories, but the
consideration must be given apart
ment houses, schools, hospitals and
other institutions In TINS area 30 as
to safeguard the light and air for
such buildings. giving due consider
alton to adjoining property.
"4-The commercial districts along
the main streets entering the city
should be given special attention be-
fore finally deciding on the same for
business. In some cases We think the
property should be classed as resi-
Dental.
"5-The area proposed for indus
trial purposes We think should be
large enough to provide for ample
space for future development Of such
industries as are needed by our citi-
zens. All areas that now front on
railroads, canal, river or sections that
will be available for such purpose IN
the future should be set aside for
this purpose, eliminating space now
or in the future to be occupied BY
parks or driveways."
Thirty-eight changes, most OF them
Of a more or less minor nature. are
recommended by the Board of Trade.
Members Of the commission antici-
pate little difficulty in making some
of the changes asked by the trade
broad.

As REMEDY IN
LIVING COSTS
MRS. tfIGGINSON ASKS
FOR ECONOMY

With the prediction by high Of
hcials in Washington that before
the high cost of living becomes
lower in this country the people
must cease spending their money
for luxuries, Mrs. Francis L. Hig-
gibson, director OF savings for the
First Federal Reserve District has
issued statement urging the peo-
pie of New England to be more
thrifty, invest their savings in
safe securities such as Thrift
Stamps, War Savings Stamps,
Treasury Saving Certificates and
other government securities.
Spending Rec!<iessly,
Mrs. Higginson's sta,e'nPnt reads
as f0uoYrS:
"rne investigation of the high cost
Of living az Washingto, has Brought
to light the fact that Dne Of the rca-
sons for TIE present high prices is
because the people are spending mon
ev lavishly for ju&uries
TT has also been pointed ort BY
prominent officials at Washing on
that no relief from high prices can
he expected until he people refrain
from demanding the highest QUali.N
Of everything ana paving any price
to get 1t.
Should Practice Thrift.
eff every person in New England
would practice Thrift Tor at least q
year and invest their savings in safe
securities such as are offered by the
Government, the Federal Land Banks
and Savings Banks, we should no
hear so much about the high cost Of
living.
To-day there is a greater number
of people in New England practicing
thrift than before the war but there
still remains much larger number
of people who as yet have not learned
the benefits to be derived from
thrift, and the proper investment Of
their savings in SAFE securities rather
than in untried investments.
81 feel sure that if the pc pie Of
New England can be brought to real
ize that a more Conservative exoendi-
ture of their income will help to
reduce the high cost Of living. they
will gladly refrain from the purchase
of non aese ntiaIS"

The Streets of Life
BY HAZEL DEYo BATcHELoE

~ don't believe you are really
afraid" Geraldine returned. II
think the time has come when you
have to make some kind of a stand
for yourself. OF course, you think
you can never do this because
you've been held down for 81 long.
You've obeyed your father in fear
and trembling 80 long that you
think you can't stand on your own
feet, but something tells me that
you can IL you only will. Now l
want you to come here tonight. I
want you to go home and tell your
father. 30 matter how he raves,
you'll feel better for having faced
him fairly and squarely. And re-
member, I'll stand by you in this,
remember that when you tell him."
Anne had an impulse to tell Ger
aldine about Bill Snyder, too, but
pride held her back. It was so sor-
did somehow, and Geraldine might
misunderstood. Besides, IL she told
her father the truth. she would be
free of Bill. No matter what else
happened, she would be free of him
nothing to hold over her head.
nothing to brighten her with; his
power would be broken.
There was a wonderful dress that
she was to wear that evening, a
dress which Geraldine had had
made for her and which Anne had
paid for. or thought she had, al
though 1T had cost a great deal
more than Geraldine had said. Ger
aldine had studied Anne's type,
and the dress, instead of being
fluffy and girlish, followed out the
young lines of the girls body. The
material was cloth of silver, and
there was silver slippers to go with
1t. Geraldine had insisted on the
dress and Anne, although she had
protested that she would never need
it, had not been able to resist the
temptation. 1t seemed incredible,
but tonight she might wear 1t.
