BY G. w. AXELSON.

Government compensation for its en-
ployes ranges from $40 to $4,000 n
year. The latter figure may not cor
respond to the services rendered any
more than the former, but as It
has no relation to the minimum liv-
ing budget the amount does not con-
Germ US. The discussion will be con-
fined to those in between these two
extremes, principally those affected
by the s2.262.74 budget Of living set
by the Bureau Of Labor Stastitics
for a family of five.
Until the final figures of the Re-
classification Commission are an
nounced, the exact number of gov
eminent employees who are in receipt
of less than the minimum living level
calls for will not be known. That
50 per cent or more will be affected
would not be surprising. This per-
centage is, however, misleading, as
1t must be taken into consideration
that a separate budget was provided
for single men and women. Actually
the outlay for unmarried people was
less than half of the expenses appor-
toned 10 the family-$96LI for an
unmarried man and s1.OS72O for a sim

RULES WOMEN
OFF N. Y. JURIES
Court Declares Vote Doesn t
Give Them Right to
Serve.

New York. January THE right to
vote does not give women the right
to serve as jurors. according to a
decision made by Supreme Court Jus
tice Lazansky in Brooklyn yesterday.
The court denied a motion recently
made for a writ of mandamus to COM
pei the board of assessors and COM
missioner of jurors to include the
names OF women in the jury lists. The
application was made by Julia ".
GRILL. a woman lawyer.
Il can see absolutely no connection
whatever between the right to vote
and jury service" Justice Lazansky
announced. 'Jury service is not a
matter of right. either civil or polit-
ical, but a matter of duty which the
State has the right to regulate as
much as 1t has the right to regulate
the qualifications Of its ofiicials."

With the stage all set for the big
Jackson Day dinner tonight at the
Willard and Washington hotels,
the Democratic National Committee
will hold a special meeting at the
Hotel Shoreham today to consider
matters that will vitality affect the
campaign to be waged by the DEM

Presidential election.
At today's meeting the commit
teemen are expected to adopt a
resolution commencing the Demo-
cratic administration and endorsing
President Wilson's efforts to estab-
fish a league of nations.
Chairman Homer s. Cummings
yesterday declared the committee
stands squarely back OF President
Wilson. Asked IL the committee
would support the Presidents con-
tention for unqualified ratification
ment of the league covenant with
out reservations, he replied:
II do not undertake to analyze
the Presidents position. The Pres
ident has made a tour of the coun-
try and set forth his attitude. He
has been subjected to misinterpre-

slander. which think is one of the

MORE PAY URGED
FOR DIPLOMATS
Disruption Of the Service
Threatened, Declares
Lansing.

Disruption of the diplomatic service
is threatened unless higher salaries
are paid to those who represent Amer
ica's interests abroad, Secretary of
State Lansing told the House For
eign Affairs Committee yesterday,
when hearings were opened on the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill.
Secretary Lansing urged that the
bill provide minimum salaries of s35,.
900 a year for ambassadors to the
world powers; s2S.OOo for other ambas-
sadors. and $4,000 to $4,000 for min
listers, with corresponding increases
for other representatives. The present
pay OF ambassadors is only s17,5oo,
and $1,000 is the highest paid my
minister.
The greatly increased cost of liv-
ing abroad. the Secretary said, makes
substantial Increases imperative.

AS 5000 CHEER
Thousands More Turned

Speaks at Liberty Hut.
STILL WAR ON BRITAIN
Emerald Isle Won't Lose
What 1t Fought for,
Speaker Declares.

Irish cheers rocked Liberty Hut for
y minutes last night in honor OF
Eanon DeValera. president Of the
Irish, Republic. More than SOU
friends OF Ireland's liberty crowded
into the hut and almost as many
more were turned away.
They were all for DeValera ana
they told him so loudly. in what was
probably the most enthusiastic poll
ticaI assemblage ever held here.
DeValera. hollow eyed and burdened
with care, was the only unsmilins
person
1t is said that Britain will re-
gard as hostile the recognition of
the Irish Republic" said DeValeIa-
what right has England to take
such a view? America went to
war with the principle of self de-
termination as one of her prime
aims. No one questions that you
were the determining factor in
winning the war"
Here some ardent Irish-American
shouted I'll say So" in stentorian
tones.
Says People Must Decide.
What right has England to say
that you shall be cheated out Of
what you went to war for" con-
tinued De Valera. This is an
American question. You are the
people who have ther light to de-
eide whether the government of
force or the government of the peo-
pie shall continue in Ireland"
De Valera declared that ireland re-
pudiated England's recent treaties.
by what authorization does Lloyd
George sign a treaty for us?' he
said. when that treaty was signed.
Ireland was at war with the ma
ton it has been fighting for 30 years
and which it will continue to fight
until Irish freedom Is accomplished.
Nationality Preserved.
There is no homogeneous Ulster
and there are more Nationalists in
Belfast itself than in the city of
Cork" said De Valera in his argu-
nnent for the retention of Ulstef
should Irish home rule obtain. I'VE
have preserved our nationality and
never lost nor bartered it. and we
3emand the sovereign statehood and
complete independence to which we
are entitled. The Irish are as little
-econciled to British rule today 9s
they were in the days of Cromwell.
England holds our country only by
right of bowitzer and machine gun"
De Valera began his address with
L few words in Gaelic to show. as
ne said, that England has failed

mas failed to blot out our nation

Hearing.
ACTION Is REFENDED
Agreement Better for Public
Than Court Action
He Says.

The agreement made by Attorney
General Palmer with the packers.
which enabled them to escape prose-
cution was sharply criticised by MEM
bers of the Senate Committee on Ag-
riculture when the Attorney General
appeared before the committee yes
terday to explain the nature of the
agreement.
There was a heated colloquy be-
tween the Attorney General and Sem
ator France. of Maryland. in which
the Senator characterized the agree
ment as highly improper and CEN
sured the attorney general for not
continuing the prosecutions.
The criticism of his acts was strong
Iy resented by Palmer. who defended
the agreement as being 'the wise and
proper thing to do under the cir
cumstances." Senator France ex-
pressed his opinion of the agreement
as follows:
Palmer Angered.
III the Sherman antitrust law was
violated. the Department Of Justice
was obligated to prosecute. and no
agreement could relieve the depart
ment of it's duty and responsibility.

not by Injunction or by agreement
