now done by machine, and,much fas-
ter than the human hand can ever do
it. Yet we are asked to compare the
government employe of today with the
employe of two or three generations
ago.
But worse than this is the fact
that the average wage OF sl.lSs Of
Federal employees today, as figured
out by the commission. is an aver
age based on the return from. all
government employees. Whether liv-
ing in Washington or not, inciud-
ing postal carriers. postal clerks and
others in small towns. etc. Is an
average drawn like that worth any
thing in an honest comparison, as
the commission has attempted?
"Since 1898 find from my own fig
ures there has been an' average in
crease in the Land once of 10 per
cent; in the Bureau OF Pensions Of
q per cent; in the Division Of Loans
and Currency in the Treasury De-
partment of 23 per cent in basic pay
and Is per cent in total pay.
THE statistics show that the state
ment given publicity by the Reclass-
ification Commission does not ac-
cord with the facts, is based upon
hasty and sloppy statistical meth
DDS and has also served to nislead
government employees and the public.
THE table shows that in 1914 a
group of $500 employees was receiv-
ar nf
-Four years later-in 19ls-a group OF
1883 employees received an average
pay OF s1,o41 n year, an increase OF
s73, or s percent. This increase does
not take into consideration the bo-
nus that was granted by Congress
some time ago."

EMISSARY SENT
ON WOODS TRAIL
BY POlNDExTER
VIII See Whether General
Complied With Law IN
South Dakota.
RIVALRY MORE INTENSE
Senator Still Awaits Reply
To Challenge, on
Rooseveltism.

Managers Of Senator Miles Poin'
dexter's boom for the Presidency are
keeping right on the trail Of Gen
Leonard Wood in the contest for the
South Dakota delegation to The Re-
publican convention. Their latest
move 10 to send a messenger to South
Dakota to see whether Cen Wood
has complied with the strict. letter
Of the law in fling his acceptance OF
the nomination rendered him by the
convention of the South Dakota Re-
publicans.
Rumors reached the Poindexter
headquarters here that Gen. Wood
had failed to file the right kind of
statement The report stated that the
Attorney General of South Dakota had
rendered an opinion to the effect that
Gen. Wood did not need to file the
same kind OF statement as that re-
qulred Of other candidates because he
was nominated by the convention and
does not go on the ballot by petition.
Another disquieting feature Of the
rumor that came to Poindexter head
quarters was that while the State
machine" Of the Republican organi-
nations in South Dakota was openly
espousihg the cause Of General Wood
the nomination rendered him by the
eonveption did NOT accufateIy renre-
sent the true sentiment of the rank
and file of Republicans In the State.
A report that a mandamus action
was to be brought against the Wood
managers to compel them to file the
proper kind Of statement before the
primary. was denied at the Poindexter
headquarters. Nevertheless il was
stated in reports from the State that
the Secretary Of State Of South Da-
kota was sitting on pins and nee
dies" expecting that such an action
would be fled.
The rivalry between Senator Poin-
dexter and General Wood has been
very tense ever srnee the Republicans
met in convention and endorsed the
Generals candidacy. Following this
action Senator Poindexter addressed
an open challenge to General Wood
asking him tSdefine his attitude with
--spect to the Roosevelt policies. Gen.
cral Wood has not answered.

torted Smoot.
Thereupon the Senator from
Utah. a trifle mollified. reIented in
his objection to the time extension
asked by the commission. and the
two months extension from Janu-
ary IL to March 12 was granted by
the Senate without objection.
Senator Smoot's remarks show
clearly that he will fight to the last
any campaign to increase the COM
pensation of Federal employees in
line with the work and report o,
the commission. He Is preparing
further material to show that the
body is working on an unsound
basis and responsible for propa-
ganda which is undermining the
morale of government workers. 1t
