WAR RISK AIMS
T$24OB0NUS
Mass Meeting Of Employees
To Protest at Renewal
OF Half Share.
MAY BE HELD TUESDAY
Average Pay Said to Be
Now Less Than That Of
Other Bureaus.

Employees Of the War Risk Bu-
reau are preparing to make Wig
orous fight against the alleged
grossly discriminatory nature of the
bonus section of the House Appro-
priations bill, which allows them a
war bonus of only s120 per annum
Instead Of the s240 bonus received
| by the employees Of every other gov
ernment bureau in the National
Capital.
A mass meeting of the 10000 en-
ployes of the bureau, which was
tentatively set for next Tuesday
night. but plans for which were
temporarily held in allegiance upon
assurance that the bonus section
would be rewritten so as to permit
the War Riskers to share equally
with all other government employees
In the $240 bonus, will probably be
held as originally planned at the
Liberty Hut or some other central
point.
This action was forecast last night
by officials of the Federal Employees
Union, who have been conducting a
strong fight on behalf of the War
Risk employees.
VIII Not rtedraft Bill.
Representative William X. Wood,
of Indiana, chairman of the sub
committee of the House Committee
on Appropriations having in charge
bonus Legislation. stated last night
= that there was no basis for the re-
port that the subcommittee had any
intention of redrafting the bonus
section of the bill.
John s. Beach. president of Fed
eral Employees Local No. 2, OF which
the war risk branch is one of the
largest chapters. stated last night
that his organization Is prepared
to make strong fight in the Sem
ate for the war risk employees.
should the House re-enact the bill
which allows them only $40.
At the time the bonus of s120
instead of $240 was warded the
war risk employees the claim was
made that the employees of this
bureau received larger salaries
than those of other departments.
High Salaries Gone.
AS a result of the release OF
thousands of temporary employees
of the bureau. many of whom drew
large salaries, the average salary
in the bureau is declared to be no
higher than that of employees in the
older departments. This statement
Is supported by President Beach
who states that the average salary
of all Federal employees in the Dis
trict is now approximately s1,26O
without the bonus.
The average salary in the War
Risk Bureau. according to a pay
roll summary prepared by Senator
Smoot. of Utah, and published in
the Congressional Record of Janu-
airy s, 1920. is sl.264. AS this in
cludes the field force outside Wash
ington, which has an average sal
airy per employe of sl.S57. the en-
ployes of the bureau in Washington
are shown to be actually receiving
less than the general average

Fast Games Feature Opening
OF City Basketball League

ErroId LapoWEki. But at the end
Of the first period the Tigers led
by score Of IS 10 Is.
At the opening Of the second half
the Tigers added a little 20 their lead
and the spectators began to figure
on the probable margin the younger
and better conditioned youngsters
would be able to gain. But they had
fiured without considering Francis
Broaddus. Bob Bryant and the Popu-
Nearly Made Baskets.
In the first half the Popular players
had played in wretched luck. losing
at least half a dozen field baskets b.
the proverbial hair line margin. But
in the second period the tide Of for
tune shifted somewhat
At this point Bob Bryant shot
wonderful goal from beyond midfield
and the Popular team went into the
lead. while the Popular rooters rose
and sent forth a cheer so mighty that
il might have carried 10 the Jordan
Then CheTans. who had substituted
for Johnny Richardson. tossed a field
goal and the Tigers regained the lead
At this stage Of the game Dave
Hughes relieved Bob Bryant at for
ward and Madison Mudd and pr
Legion went TO the guards. The
change effectively stopped the scor-
ing Of the Tigers. Just after the en-
try Of this trio, Francis Broaddus was
d
rooters screeching at him. in an ef-
fort to disconcert him. and his own
rOoters adding to the hubbub with
their attempts at encouragement.
Francis measured his shot carefully
and dropped the ball Clearly through
the ring
With the score tied pandemO-
mum broke loose and continued
until the end Of the game With
less than two minutes 60 Eo
double foul was called AEnia
BrOaddus measured his shot and
aEnin dropped the ball in eleuniy.
Nanny Ponsford proved not aE
imperrious TO the EereechinE Of
the crowd and missed his try.
That decided the game. ns neither
team WIS able to score in the
short period Of play remaining.
The games proved absolutely moth
ing excepting that we are almost GER
tain to have a great race this year.
/ The margin OF victory was so small
in each game that IL would be ridicu-
winner on the strength OF those
games. Neither winning team showed
any decided superiority over its op-

while IN the second the Popular five
bested the High school Tigers by a
score OF Is to "a.
Although there was some rough
ness, the two games were all that

ness there was no distinction 20 be
noted. all teams INDUCING more or
less in it
To George BIefer fell the honor
Of making the first goal Of the
season when, n moment after the
opening whistle, he shot n pretty
basket after n perfect pass from
Schumacher. A little later sag
shea tossed a free chance and
followed with n field goal. After
half Of the first period had been
played the bankers led by
count Of TO l. and Il looked Ike
a runaway for them. Then the
fighting spirit which Tommy
DVyer has inHtfIled into all OF the
Miners team came TO the fore.
Gradually the Mines lads crcpf mp,
nt the same time holding the
bankers off. and Mt half time the
Miners led by score OF II to II.
With the opening Of the second half
Sag Shea moved from guard to for
ward and Dodo" Gaylord went to
guard. This change brought forth
the winning combination Gaylord
not only guarded in magnificent style,
but also tossed two field baskets. In
this period the Bankers scored Q.

In the second game the Tigers
