COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 10
Gov. James M. Cox, Democratic
Presidential candidate, is for in
creased pay for CONVENIENT en-
ployes who are underpaid. 1t be-
came known today that the Demo-
cratic candidate has given the clos
est study to this matter, and will
stress it in his campaign.
FACTS TO JUSTIFY RAISE.
Governor Cox referred to adequate
compe nsation for Government en-
pioyes in his acceptance speech. say
ing:
"Government should provide the
means in the treatment of it's en-
p,oyes to keep in touch with the con-
eitions and rectify wrong. 1t is need
less to say that in order to be con-
sistent, facts should at all times
justify the decomposition that the
Government employees are properly
compensated"
Governor Cox has had nothing to
say on the Republican charge that
there are too many Government EN-
ployes, brought on in war time ana
still on the payroll in washington:
He has said however, that he would
make the Government treatment or
its employees a model which all the
country might follow in solving in
dustrial relations.
John F. Costello, Democratic ma
tional committeeman for the District
of Columbia, who returned here with
Governor Cox following the candi-
dates recent trip to Washington,
talked with Cox on the subject OF
more pay and better treatment for
Government employees, having partic-
uiar reference to those In the Dis
trict of Columbia and postal en-
ployes.
POSTAL INCREAsE INADEQUATE.
Cox Is said to hold to the view that
the recent increase of pay to postal
employees was entirely inadequate, as
these men must be highly trained and
as they receive far less than trained
men in any other line. Through his
service in Congress and dealings with
the departments he knows that many
competent Government employees In
washington are receiving no larger
salaries than they received twenty
Ave years ago. though the cost OF
living has gone up 200 per cent in
that time.

ping Board and their operation by
private owners were announced to-
day by Rear Admiral Benson, chair
man OF the board. in a statement OF
policy in accordance with the pro-

ment may be made in small install
ments.
The vessels will be sold on the
basis of 10 per cent cash, with 5 per
cent payments every six months Tor
two years, after which time the re-
naming 20 per cent of the price
must be paid in ten years.
After a careful survey OF the cur
rent operating revenues, costs OF
operation, competitive conditions
which now exist and which Will exist
and the financial and the general eco
nomic situation, the board devised the
plan for the creation OF the United
States Merchant Marine, operated by,
private ownership under the Merchant
Marine act" Admiral Benson declared.
The vessels purchased by the pri-
vSte owners are to be operated under
tive supervision of the Shipping Board
When SO per cent OF the purchase

the vessel.
DETAILS OF SAME PLAN.
The prohts made from the current
operation of the vessels sold by the
beard are limited to Is per cent for
dividend distribution among stock
holders. An interest rate OF per
cent per year will be charged BY the
board for all deferred payments.
"All revenues derived from opera
tion are to be deposited in con-
trolled or supervised account and the
installments provided for, except the
initial payment. shall be taken there
from" Admiral Benson's statement
declared.
When the vessels have been taken
over by the purchaser, upon the pay
ment of so per cent of the price, the
board will release all control over the
bottom except for the fixing OF its

rollment or license.

BLUE LAWS.

cule OF the colony and invented
laws which NE said were used in
governing It's people.
Maybe he did. II he did. he
certainly was a good inventor, for
Among the rules were these:
No one shall cross a river on
Sunday unless he be an author
lied clergyman.
No one shall run on the Sab

No one shall travel. cook. make
beds or sweep houses. on the Sab

Every male shall have his hair

woman who strikes her husband
shall I've dealt with according TO
The law;
Whoever publish a lie 10 the

And these laws were not called

from the TACT that as originally
