M'HENRY IS CALLED
DESPERATE THIEF
Former Pal of Slayer Castifates
Boy Robber on Witness
Stand.
,Coatinusd from Third Page,

tContinusd from Third Page'
State reformatory in Connecticut,
where McHenry was confined for sew
eral years, explained that the youth
frankly admitted to him that he had
blown open and robbed a number of
safes with stolen nitroglycerin. The
physician further stated that Nc
Henry had told him OF dyeing skunk
skins and selling them 10 a Canadian
taXidermist for black skunk
'McHenry told me the taxidermist
discovered the deception and demand
ed the return of the money he had
paid McHenry for the dyed skins.
McHenry wrote to the taixdermist 81
that he had ordered black skunk skins
and had not specified whether they
were to be naturally black or dyed
black.
The prosecution offered this testi-
mony to show the keen mental activ-
ity OF McHenry in his efforts to get
money.
DO you consider McHenry of nor
NAL mind" asked Mr.. Archer. wit
ness replied he always found McHen-
ry TO be bright and intelligent. and
that he could, in his opinion, distin-
guish right from wrong.

typewriter pages to DR.. Lazelle and
DR.. d. Percy Hickling and Cornelius
De Weese, two other alienists who

WANT MORE MONEY
Union Will Ask Public Printer
For so Cents an Hour
Salary Schedule.

How would you like TO labor for
Uncle Sam for thirty-fve cents an
hour. the lowest scale OF wages paid
to men in Washington. and try to nose
out old II. c. L. in the daily race
for subsistence?
OF course you wouldn't and that's
just why the lsborers in the Govern
ment Printing Office are sending out
IS. Q. s" appeals for an additional
ffteen cents an hour to help meet the
bills at the end OF each month.
WANT 80 CENTS AN hour.
Compelled to work late at night in
order to keep pace with the rise Of
prices, the skilled and unskilled
laborers who are members OF Local
No. Il. of the Federal Employees
Union met last night to discuss con-
ditions under which they work in the
Printing Office.
Believing 1t is essential to che
proper conduct of the Government
service to keep all of it's employees
and loyal. the union went
on record in favor of requesting the
Public Printer TO grant the laborers
increased pay that would make their
total salary for eight hours work
Ody III the rate Oh nINy ScHtS on
hours. exclusive OF the bonus.
IT was pointed out that thirty-five
cents an hour has been the rate of
pay for this class OF employees since
the summer of 1918. no increase hav-
ing been granted them for a period
Of two years. While Congress voted
increases in pay TO other classes Of
Government employees. the laborcrs
in the Government Printing Office
were given no assistance whatever
in combating the increase IN living
expenses.
MUST GET OTHER JOBS.
The laborers have repeatedly ap
pealed to the Public Printer for an
increase in pay, which, according to
the resolution adopted, were not
granted TOR reasons well known to
the Public Printer" By reason OF
this inadequate pay many OF the la
borers are compelled to rush away
from their work to hold down other
jobs in order to make both ends of the
purse strings meet. They ask that
the increase be effective on July 1
or as soon thereafter as circumstances
will permit.

NOW GOOD TIME TO BUILD

Building done these days is quite
certain to be good building, better
than the average quality in times
when real estate improvements are
more actively carried on. This is u
point worth considering as an off
set, in part, to high prices for mater
ial and high wages in the building
trades. ~ t'0''r-
Contractors are sure to take un-
usual pains to please those who
give them business. p They are not
obliged, as they have been at times
to put up with almost any labor,
however incompetent, that can be
found, even among tramps and i'd
lers. There have been periods,
such as the last year of the war,
when the standars were SO lowered
that almost anyone who could and
would work at all was eagerly hired
for service which needed painstak-
ing intelligence. Gor
All the way through the various
trades that contribute topthe build
ing of a dwelling or a business block
there is strong desire to make the
work done so satisfactory that it
will lead to more employment. All
who have anything to do with real
estate improvements are anxious to
promote revival of construction
on the largest possible scale.
These facts are important. They
are worthy Of consideration by all
who are dealing With building prob
lens. Exchange. ~
