CURED and the expenses they must
meet, DR. Harvey w. Wiley who at
tended the meeting independently
addressed the gathering and gave
to the federation committee his
views. Dr. Wiley. for his illustra-
tion. cited the case of his own farm
in Virginia, Where he says the price
of labor has increased from $3.50
and board per day to 81 and board.
Low Prices Bring CareIessness.
J. 4. Gamble, professor of Dairy
Husbaudry at the University Of
Maryland, said when the prices are
cut to the producer, the retailer and
the consumer begin to receive adul-
teratiOn. If you buy milk from a
man who sells it at less than 1t costs
him to produce he begins TO get
careless with it," he said.
Mathew Z. O'Brien, who repre-
sents a number of local retailers in
their belief that the summer price
Of A. cents that has been prevailing
throughout the month of September
should be retained as the winter
price. flung down a challenge to the
producers when he said:
We are going to supply the peo-
pie of Washington with milk. If you
don't want To meet our prices we
won't buy your milK'
Mr.. Walker. in opening the con-
frrcnCe for the producers, said the
delegates Of the association were
before the committee to try and
gain the confidence of the consum-
Ing public. showing them the costs
Of the farmer in producing the milk
ana to present the objects of their
organization.
To prove to them" he continued,
that We are advocating the tubrr-
culin test and that we are living up
to the requirements of the Health
department. Furthermore, that we
produce a milk that is OF a quality
th@t will increase consumption and
gain the confidence of tho consum-
Ing public"
In conclusion he declared that the
books Of the association<Here open
to all.
In defending their claims for the
increase of milk prices the dele
gates pointed out that there has
been an increase of 80 per cent in
labor.
J. G Hiden, a producer from
.Culpcper, Va. in addressing the
committee quoted a report of a
farmer ncighbor who made a profit
"f $2.OSO on an investment of $50.
900 or a PROFIT of 21a cents per gal
ion Of milk produced. His own
profits, Mr.. Hidden stated, on an in
v"stment of 100000 was very nearly
Of the same ratio.
The committee representing the
Federation Of Citizens Associations
which was composed of w. B. West

Day Past for Silk


Boston, Sept. 21.-Lt's going to
be a hard winter for workers in
Massachusetts, according to a
statement issued today by the
State free employment office.
The labor market throughout the
State is glutted, 1t says, and with
unemployment prevalent workers
will have to draw on their saw
ings to carry their families
through the winter months.
The only case of labor short

This summary showed, he SAID, an
Increase during the past year of
l9 per cent and of per cent from
March l to July of this year.
Thomas r. Jones. international
representative of the Stationary
Engineers Union, declared that The
engineers in the school syste.n
worked longer hours on a lower
salary than any men in similar po-
sitions of responsibility in this or
any other city.
Engineers Salary scored.
Some Of them are getting less
than $1,000 year, he said. 1t is
impossible to maintain one person,
let alone a man with a family, on
this salary, and, if 1t were not for
the community center work which
enables them to collect overtime
by working nearly twenty hours
day. Jones said, many Of the en-
gtneers would be subjects Of charity.
he said that in some cases en-
gineers worked twenty-four hours
on a stretch in the District schools.
1t is not fair, he said. These
men are not getting the treatmcr.
accorded by the District of Colum-
bia to its dumb animals.
Il have confidence" he said, that
the board will recommend not only
more money to the present school
employees, but will provide more
men in order to shorten the hours
and lessen the work of these over
worked men"
Joseph Hurley, representing city
employees, suggested that the title
of janitOrs be changed to custodians,
declaring that such a move would
bring about a greater likelihood of
favorable action by Congress.
John Ryan, engineer at the Park
View School. declared that in addi-
tiOn to handling the heating and
ventilating of that building, he had
with the assistance of one helper,
about an acre and a quarter Of floor
space to sweep and clean every Gay
after school closed
In the winter time, Ryan said, it
was necessary for him to go to work
at . o'clock in the morning in order
to have the building properly heated
when the pupils arrived. 1t was i'm
possible, he said, to complete his
work on such days under fourteen
to sixteen hours.
Cite Loyalty in Crisis.
Ryan, as well as other speakers,
declared they had remained loyal to
the school system at time when
they could have commanded much
higher salaries outside. Long serv-
ice in the schools and pleasant as
sociatiOn with teachers and pupils
had made their positions a part of
their lives to such an extent that
the question of salary became a
secondary issue. They insisted,
however, that they were entitled to
a living wage.
Superintendent Ballou, replying.
recalled that when he first began
teaching school in a rural COM
munity he received a salary of IS
a week, of which S1.25 was spent
for meals from Monday noon to
Friday noon. At the close of the
term, he said. he applied for an
other school which paid 81 a week
and was much nearer his home.
He was told, he said, that since he
could live at home he should be
willing to work for s6 a week in
spite of the fact that 81 was au-
thorized for that school.
1T was just as unfair for them
to take advantage of me because /
could live at home as it is unfair
to take advantage Of you because
you like to work in the District
schools" he said. IT think you
should have a wage commensurate
with the work"

Of claims against them by allied
and associated nationals The ma
tions that signed peace with Ger
many have for more than year
been paying out such claims. Only
the S7OO.O0O,O00 fund held by the
United States remains untouched
and untouchable. 1t Is the opinion
of authoritative persons in Wash
ington that if our state Of war with
Germany is terminated by a sepa-
rate peace treaty we shall have to
hand back intact the property we
now hold, leaving American claims
running into tens of millions of
dollars unsatisfied.
Kaiser Used Treaty as Club.
It will be recalled that the
Kaiser's foreign office brandished
the century-old Prussian-American
treaty in James w. Gerard's face
at Berlin in February, 1917, when
we broke off diplomatic relations
with Germany. There was sugges-
ton Of a threat that unless he was
willing to give a written guarantee
that the treaty. immunizing German
property in the United States from
seizure. would be respected during
the war which we were about to
enter, the American Ambassador
and his party would not be al
lowed to leave German soil. Gerard
called the Wilhelmstrasse's bluff.

frozen over" rather than give any
such assurance. and the Germans
retreated from their bulldozing pre-
tAnsions.

With DR.. Ballou Ask Better
Salaries and Working Hours

DR.. Frank W Ballou. superintend-
cnt Of schools. declared last night
to assembled engineers, janitors and
laborers in the school system he
was very much of the opinion"
that there should be modification in
their salary Observation-Disclosures
upward. not downward"
While he could not promise how
much Of an increase could be OBJ
tained, DR.. Ballou said he would do
his best to get better salaries and
conditions for employees.
The hearing was the second of a
series of three called by the Board
Of Education at the suggestion Of
superintendent BallOu to enable him
to determine the needs of the school
system, both as to salary budgets,
construction and Improvement, for
submission to Congress in his forth
coming estimate. Monday night the
teachers were heard, and tomorrow
representatives of civic bodies and
citizens associations will present
their views.
Same as March Scale.
The salary scale presented by the
three groups of employees last night
was virtually the same as that rec
commended by the Congressional Re-
classification Commission in its re-
port to Congress Iast March.
This schedule, ranging from 5000
for laborers, to $4,000 for chief
engineers, was approved last year
by the School Board and the Dis
trict Commissioners and was recon-
mcnded to Congress, but without re
suit. except in the case of the la
borers who were given an increase
of 500.

Janitors Make Plea.
T. ]. Jones, representing the jan
itors, after calling attention to the
versatility of janitors in the public
schools, declared that janitor work.
in the common acceptance Of the
term, was but an incident in the
daily work.
School janitors OF the present day,
he said, must have a knowledge Of
sanitation, hygiene, heating and
ventilation and, far too often, must
act as disciplinarians in quelling
disturbances.

Board showing an increase in the
cost of living in a six-year period
