SENATE GIVES D. c.
F|REMEN MORE PAY
Scale of Salaries $500 Less in
Bill Passed Today Than
In House Measure.

without discussion the Senate to-
day passed the increased pay bill for
Washington hremen. 80 -'~F
No objection Was made when SEN
ator Calder Of New York called up the
bill early this afternoon.
Under the bill as 1t passed the
Senate, the scale of salaries Is ap-
proximately 5000 less than the amount
voted by the House. The total pro-
posed increase is $206,s3o.
The proposed increase per man is a
follows: Chief engineer, $3.50: deputy
chief engineers, $3.50; battalion chief
$500: marshal, 5000: assistant mar
shall. $500; inspectors. $3.50; captains
$500; lieutenapts, $40; sergeants,
$500: engineers, $500; assistant en-
sineers, $500; 10 privates. class one,
$500; S5 privates, class two, $22O; 2oO
privates, class three, $500.
May Give Highest SALARIES.
II is expected that the House pro
visions will be kept in the bill when
il is sent to conference The deduc
tions were made in the Senate Dill
when II was reported from the com
mittee in the absence Of q number OF
members. Rather than 5eopardize the
chances of the bill passing without
discussion, it was decided to leave the
differences in salaries to be adjusted
in conference.
The bill provides for appointment
and promotion OF officers and Other
members Of the Fire Department In
accordance with civil service regula
tions. Provision is made. however
for the automatic transfer, without re
gard to civil service rules, OF privates
from class one to class two, and from
class two to class three, after the re
quired period Of service.
A strong anttstrike provision, the
same that applies to the washington
policemen, Is carried in the bill.

SMOOT ON WARPATH
FOR CLERKS SCALPS
Utah Senator 0utd0es BIanton
In a "Turn EN- Loose"
Philippe.

Friends OF the Government clerks
are rallying their forces in the SEN
ate to combat the spring offensive
that will be launched against thou
sands OF Uncle Sans employees here
when the Joint Congressional Re
classification Commission makes it's
report, March IL next, on salary re-
adjustment.
As a forewarning OF the storm that
is about to break in the Senate when
the report is brought up for approval,
Senator Reed Smoot of Utah yester-
day even surpassed some of the early
attempts OF Representative Turn
Loose" Blanton OF Texas. in one of
the bitterest attacks on Federal en-
ployes that Congress has witnessed
in many years. Back OF the attack is
the strong support Senator Smoot
carries with him.
Although Senator Smoot contented
himself with a wholesale condemna-
tion OF the various Government bu-
reaus. and the work OF the Reclassifi-
cation Commission in particular. he
did not block the action of the Sem
ate in adopting a resolution extend
ing, >until March 12 next, the time
within which the commission may
complete its work.
Senator Smoot Is on the warpath.
He has two big fights on his hands.
These he will wage in relentless
fashion on the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance, which he wants abolished.
and the recommendations for salary
increases to Government clerks.
Senator Smoot heaped ridicule on
the statement that 1923 average sal
aries of the Government clerical force
have increased from S1,137.2S in 1928
10 s1,13S in 1915, an increase of -
cents.
Senator Smoot claimed that the Re-
classification Commission, in arriving
at its salary calculations, had ar
rayed figures In such a fashion that
no one could gather the faintest idea
whether the kinds OF work performed
by a majority of the men and women
on the Government payroll in 1923 are
comparable with the kinds of work
performed by those on the pay roll
at present, for the reason that no in
formation as to the nature OF the work
performed is available for more than
a few years previous to the present
time"
The Washington times., 1920-01-07
DENIES HOLDING UP
EX-YANKS' PAPERS

Denial that former service men are
being dismissed from the Government
service. notably from the War Risk
Bureau, because their examination
papers have been delayed in marking
by the Civil Service Commission was
made by the latter today.
Examination papers Of ex-service
men have in all cases have been
given nrst attention BY the Civil
Service examiners by order of the
commission, Commissioner Wales said
today.
"The facts of the case are simply
that in the competition for jobs the
race has resolved itself into one
among service men themselves. In
many cases, one service. man pssses
his examination, while another fails,
the latter then fails TO be certified.
As for the cortification of women, or
others In his place, II Is unlikely. IT
Is more natural TO assume that his
place Is filled by another service
man who has excelled in his examina-
tion. Virtually 75 per cent of appli-
cants now are ex-service men.

Miss Ellen McAdoo, Five, Now
at White House, Spends Much
Time in Sickroom.

To little Miss Ellen. the nve-year-
the Treasury and Mrs. william Gibbs
McAdoo goes the honor OF being the
FIRST OF his four grandchildren to be
received by President Wilson since
he returned from the peace confer
encc in Paris.
Shortly before President and Mrs.
Wilson went to Paris. more than a
year ago, the President made a hur-
ried trip to Philadelphia to see his
newest grandchild, Woodrow, the son
Of Prof. and Mrs. Sayre, but since
then and until the present visit of
Mrs. McAdoo, the President has been
denied the presence OF children in the
hite House by the advice of his ply
sician.
1t was planned to have a Christmas
party with all the grandchildren pres
ent and the President was very anx-
ious to have this brought about, but
a family conference decided against
II. Following the visit of Prof. and
week. Mrs. McAdoo, accompanied by
little Miss Ellen, arrived and the
President has been permitted to see
the little girl, who is the oldest of
the four grandchildren.
The frequent visits OF the McAdoo
youngster to the President now are
said to be having gratifying effects,
and members of the family note with
pleasure the increased cheerfulness
and animation in the Presidents man
ner following the child's visits.

SUFFRACISTS ROUTED
FROM BEDS BY BLAZE
Two Fires Within Few Hours In
Woman's Party Headquarters
Here.

Ten members of the National wom-
ans Party were given a second cpl
sode OF a fire scare about 1 o'clock
this morning. when smoke was dis
covered in the headquarters of the
party, IL jackson place, and a hur-
ried nre alarm was turned in. Before
the arrival of the firemen, the women
who were sleeping on the third floor
Of the building left their rooms and
made their way safely to the first
floor. No serious damage resulted.
Yesterday afternoon n fire origi-
mated in the furnace room OF the
building and spread to the ballroom,
causing an estimated damage of
$500. The blaze, however, did not
reach the living quarters on the third
floor.
On awakening shortly after
o'clock this morning, one OF the mem
bers OF the party found her room on
the third floor fllled with smoke and
spread the alarm to the nine occu-
pants of other rooms.
The Are this morning also was in
the furnace room.
