CLERKS BONUS
MAY BESAVED
Senate Expected to Restore
Provision Stricken Out
On Point Of Order.
SMOOT FAVORS $40
Senators Declare They Are
Opposed to Action Taken
In House.
SMOOT FAVORS $40

Predictions were freely made yes
terday that the Senate will restore
to Federal employees the bonus OF
$240 which the House cut from the
legislative bill. Several Senators
expressed the conviction that In
striking this bonus from the salary
of employees already underpaid, the
House was practicing false econ
omy.
Senator Smoot, of Utah, a MEM
Der of the subcommittee of the
Committee on Appropriations, said:
The Senate will put the bonus in
the bill I nave no doubt about it,
Senators Kenyon, of Iowa, and
Overman, of North Carolina, mem
bers of the subcommittee, said that
they would favor the retention OF
the bonus. Senators Capper, OF
Kansas: Chamberlain, of Oregon,
and King. of Utah, said that they
favored the continuation of the
bonus.
senator Cnpper Outspoken.
Senator Capper was most out
spoken in favor of the bonus.
81 am dead against the action the
House has taken" he said. There
is no good reason for it. and the
bonus is more necessary now than
at the time it was started. No re-
lief is in sight for the high prices
that caused the bonus. and clerks
should have it at least until prices
come down"
1t is pointed out that average
salaries of Federal employees have
advanced only 1917 per cent since
1915. as compared with an increase
of IS to 95 per cent in the wages
paid the majority of workers.
Record Vote To BE Taken.
Senators who favor the bonus will
insist upon record vote, in order
that the Federal employees and tax
payers may know where to place re-
spOnsibility for any action taken.
Day laborers and others on the
per diem payroll of the District
government will not lose the S24O
bonus according to a statement last
night by J. Fl. Hurley. president of
the City Employees Association.

The conviction that the President

FRANK BAKER DECLARES
He HAS QUIT THE CANE

Frank Baker recently announces
that he was through with baseball
but there seems to be considerable
doubt as to whether he will stick ~
his resolution. The reason he gnve
was that he had lost all interest In
the game because OF the death OF his
wife.

Baker again announced that he
would not return to the New York
Yankees and that he was through
with the leagues He will devote hin
time 70 his farm and to playing in
dependent ball with the Upland, Pa,
team.
Baker enjoyed ten years as a star
under the Big Tent He first cams
into prominence with the Athletics
in 1909. Chiefly because of the way
he damned the ball in the 1911
worlds series between the Athletics
and the Giants, he won the nickname
OF Home Run Baker.
In 1915 Baker was with the Upland
team and the Yankees purchased
him for $4,000 from Connie Mack.
Sometimes those who criticize ball
players fdr striving to get more mon

of one important fact. The business
career of a bail player is short COM

he is through on the diamond ho u

Ten years ago there were approx
imately 20 ball players with each
major league. That means $40 Ac-
tive players in the two big leagues
in 1910. Out OF this $50, only 81
are now performing on the big cir
cult and most of them are struggling
to keep from sliding down the chute.
