Not Cause Strike, Says
President Hurley.

Per diem employees Of the District
government who are members OF
the City Employees Associstion win
remain at their work, even shouid
the decision OF the Commissioners
in regard to increased pay fer these
workers be adverse.
Joseph II. Hurley, president cf
the association. made this state
ment yesterday. after mem 5-fs of
the association had presenteI q the
Commissioners the ASSOCIATIONS re-
quest that the District wsfe scale
be so increased as TO equalize II
with the navy yard scale.
During the last agitation for in
cresses for the per diem men" said
Hurley, we realized that the gen
eral public would fail TO support a
strike. and public opinion must be
considered. However, am opti-
mistic over the Commissioner re-
ception of our present request"
The proposed raise amounts to 90
cents an hour, with an additional
5 per cent increase over existing
wages. To the majority Of the Dis

Presents Formal Request
But Are Not Hopeful.

A committee representing the
American Legion called at the
White House yesterday with a pc
tition for the dismissal of Louis F.
Post, Assistant Secretary of Labor.

jr, included Henry D. Lindsey, OF
Texas; Roy Hoffman, of Oklahoma:
Wilbur c. Hall, of Virginia; Emmett
O'Neal. OF Kentucky: J. NJ. Johnson,

against him for some time and was
not greatly concerned"
Early in May, 1920, representa-
tives of the Legion in the Pacific
Coast States demanded an investi-
cation of Posts official conduct with
reference to the deportation of
aliens, and a committee of the Le-
gion was appointed to make an in
yestigation. This committee recon-
rnended his dismissal and the rec
ommendation was approved by the
national executive committee of the

ROADS PREPARE.NEW
INCREASE REQUEST

That the railroads of the country
are preparing to demand another
increase in freight rates and pas
senger fares on the ground that
the increases granted last August
have been swallowed up in higher
cost of operation is apparent from
reports received by the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday.
The reports indicate that the roads
will claim that although their gross
returns have been increased the net
revenues have remained practically
stationary. The increased cost of
labor and the cost of coal are cited
by the railroads as reasons why the
net returns ur- not larger.

SUES DISTRICT
FOR RS522PAY
Police Lieutenant Sprinkle
Takes Long Standing Case
To Supreme Court.

Lieut.. Joshua L. Sprinkle, of the
Seventh precinct. sought the aid OF
the District Supreme Court yester-
day to compel the District to pay
him s5z2.s3S which he claims is due
him as salary for the period from
March / to June 81, 1919, and is
being illegally withheld.
The case has had the attention
OF the Comptroller of the Treasury,
and. according to Chapman W. Fow-
Ter. counsel for Sprinkler. that OFF,
cial decided in favor of the District
The alleged Indebtedness of the
District dates from January 10. 1913,
according to Fowler. when Lieut.
Sprinkle was struck by a street
car in Takoma Park and sustained
a broken leg and other injuries.
Sprinkle was paid his salary for
the first fifty days after the acci-
dent. Fowler stated. and then. upon
orders from police headquarters, his
salary was cut of, pending an in
L.
June 81 Sprinkle was ordered back
to duty. On July 10, according to
Fowler, he was ordered before the
Police Trial Board on charges OF
conduct unbecoming a police on
Ger. and later acquitted.
Then the police surgeons recon-
mended that Sprinkle's back pay be
restored. A check was made out
fA h. lot hui
1t reached Sprinkle. the disbursing
officer stopped it, 1t is claimed. Fow-
ler took the matter up with the
District officials. who refused to re-
issue the check. with the result
that the Comptroller of the Treas
ury was advised of their action,
and this official. too, decided against
Sprinkle.

WAR OBJECTOR
LOSES APPEAL.
Equity Court Here Refuses.
To Free Military
Prisoner.
ARMY TRIAL Is UPHELD
Salmon Ordered to Finish
Five-Year Sentence by
Justice.

Benjamin F. Salmon, conscientious
objector. who deserted the army
May 10, 1918, will have to serve out
the remaining three years Of a
sentence of five years as determined
by the military tribunal which tried
and convicted him on May 20 at
Fort Leayenworth, Kan.
Justice Bailey in Equity Court
yesterday denied the petition of the
prisoner for a writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that a Federal court
had already passed upon the legality
OF the court-martial proceedings
and upheld the conviction.
Tried Hunger Strike.
Salmon. who some time ago at
tempted to go on a hunger strike,
but later decided to eat voluntarily
rather than submit to forcible feed
ing. has been confined to the Gov
ernment Hospital for the Insane at
st. EliZabeth's since his arrival here
several weeks ago. His case had
been pending for two weeks in the
District Supreme Court.
The entire proceedings of the
military courts and the Kansas Fed
eral courts were sent on TO this city
after Salmon had applied for a writ
OF habeas corpus.
Radical Acts Alleged
This record shows that the pris-
oner, after repeated acts of insub-
ordination, had circulated among
the enlisted men a quantity of al
legged radical literature, the object
of which was to hinder the govern
ment's war preparations.
He was arrested in Denver, Col.
the day after he deserted and court
martialed almost Immediately aft
erward.
Gets 25-Year Term.
The proceedings ended when the
tribunal sentenced him to serve
twenty-five years at hard labor in
the penitentiary and dishonorably
discharged him. Even that did not
take the fight out of him.
His friends busted themselves and
appealed to the War Department
for a retrial. which was refused
on the ground that his trial had
been an impartial one and that
none of his rights as an enlisted
man had been denied him.
Sentence Reduced.
Not satisfied with the action of
the War Department, Salmon ap-
pealed to the President. who after
ordering an investigation. reduced
the sentence to five years.
Shortly after this Salmon at
tracted the attention of the prison
authorities by his curious actions
He is said to have developed a re-
ligious mania and after an inquiry
into his sanity the War Depart
ment ordered him to serve out the
rest OF his sentence at st. Eliza
beth's.
II was from this institution that
he sought to have Justice Bailey
not only review the cOurt-martial
ings Of the civil court which had
already decided against him.
Adjudged Sane.
The authorities at St Elizabeth's
expressed the opinion that Salmon
was sane after the question of his
sanity had been raised before JUS
tice Bailey.
Whether or not Salmon will be
sent back to LeavenwOrth to serve
out his sentence or be forced to re-
main at st. Elizabeth's is a question
for the military authorities to de-
eide, as Justice Bailey's decision
yesterday gives the latter a free
hand in the matter.

and are laying off men in large
numbers. They will continue
TO do so until production is at
a minimum. In some cases
mills may close down entirely.
This action will gradually ex-
tend to all parts of the country
and into all lines of industry.
The millions of employees
who are thus thrown out of
work can not afford TO remain
idle for any great length OF
time. They and their families
must eat.
In time necessity will force
them back into the shops AT re-
duced wages. and production
will start up again. With a

Queer and a considerable re-
duction in prices to the con-

be no worse off in the end, De-
cause his living expenses will
be reduced in proportion TO the
reduction in his wages.
Two material facts stand out
above everything else.
First the public will not long
continue to buy at present
prices, except actual necessi-
ties.
Second. prices can not be re-
