NO SALARY CUTS,

clares Federal Pay AL

MAKE SURVEY FOR
COMMERCE CHAMBER

Movement to maintain present
rates OF pay was begun last night
by the Wilmington Chapter. Ameri-
can Association OF Engineers. at a
meeting held in the Y. NJ. C. A.
IL Is explained that numerous
large operations are contemplated by
the Government, such as building
hospitals, carrying on harbor work,
building OF inland waterways, etc
The policy OF retrenchment favored
at the present time by the Govern
ment has caused the cutting OF sal
aries OF numerous engineers who
have therefore left Government SER
wee for positions with private con-
Germs This has caused a shortage
OF engineers in Government work,
il is said, because when they were
wanted. competent men would not
accept positions at the salaries Of
fered This has resulted in a good
deai OF work planned by the gov
ernment. being held up.
The Chamber OF Commerce OF the
United States has issued requests for
information Of employment condi-
tions in various localities and the en-
rineers here have taken up the mat
ter with the local Chamber of Com
mcrce and will conduct a survey Of
employment conditions in Whining
ton.
At the meeting last night, a COM
mittee was appointed to make the
survey especially among engineers.
This committee is authorized 10 OBJ
tain information from other chap
ters OF the association and to or
ganize a service department along
lines most desirable and effective.
A report OF the findings OF this COM
mittee will be given at the next meet
ing Of the chapter TO be held May "a.
1t is hoped TO place before Con-
Cress the sentiment OF the local COM
munity towards the need OF having
large government works carried out
by competent engineers and the need
OF paying suitable salaries to permit
the employment OF competent men.
The movement II Is explained IS
not to increase the salaries of en-
gineers employed in government
work. but to demonstrate to Con-
Eress the need OF making no cut in
salaries Of those now employed.
These men are now on a pre-war
basis. it is claimed.

This is related by A. L. Kirk
land, clerk of court of Bamberg coun-
ty, and there is not a more reliable
man in our county: Several years
ago, in going to his farm in company
with several others, they saw a huge
rattler just in front of them in the
road, at the foot of the hills as one
enters the swamp at Old Spring Town
(Adams' Bridget, noted place for
rattlers, where many had been killed
The snake was lying full-length and a
large cat was seen some six or eight
feet in front of the snake.
The party all got out of their ma
chine and approached quite near to
see what would take place. Neither
the cat nor snake seemed to be aware
of their presence, each having it's eyes
riveted on the other. The cat seemed
to get nearer and nearer the snake
but the process being so slow, the
men decided to break up this firt-
ing. Securing a pole, they struck the
snake. The cat leaped high in the
air and rushed off into the bushes.
