NEW WAGE SCALE
IN D. c. APPROVED
Budget Officer Backs Bureau
for Higher Pay for Statu.
tory Employees.

A report approving the plan of the
adjusting the salaries of the 400
statutory employees of the city gov
ernment was submitted to Commits
sioner Rudolph yesterday afternoon
by Daniel J. Donovan, budget. officer
for the District
When the Commissioners submitted
their estimates to the Treasury De-
partment several weeks ago, they
asked for a scale of inoSeases for the
statutory clerks somewhat lower
than was recommended by the eff
cheney axperts. ss sss si.-.. 4. :
1t is understood that Budget Officer
Donovan accompanied his report of
yesterday with a table showing the
exactly how much money would have
to be added to the estimates of each
department to bring the salaries
asked for by the Commissioners up to
those advocated by the bureau of eff
cheney.
1t also is understood that Mr.. Dono-
vans report contained tables showing
in striking contrast how the pay of
the statutory employees and depart
ment heads has remained unchanged,
while the pay of policemen. firemen.
school teachers and per diem laborers
and mechanics has been increased in
the past few years.
The report could not be obtained for
publication. because it contains the
pay increases asked for by the Com
missioners in their estimates, and the
contents of the estimates cannot be
revealed before they go to Congress
The fact that the estimates passed
out of the hands of the Commissioners
several weeks ago does not preclude
posi- bility Of putting the efficiency
bureaus schedule of salaries into the
next District bill. On the contrary.
former Senator Sherman, in studying
the estimates for the Treasury De-
partment, had before fim the recon-
mendations of the efficiency bureau.
The data submitted to Mr. Rudolph
yesterday by Mr.. Donovan will prove
valuable to the Commissioners in con-
yincing Congress of the need for an
upward revision of the salaries of the
statutory employees. whose wages have
not been increased for forty years.

Shantung proposals and the difficult
ties which have been met in the nego-

PARIS. October S-The American
picked battalion from the army of
occupation, which has been held in
Paris week awaiting arrangements
by the British government for placing
the American congressional medal of
honor upon the tomb of the British
unknown soldier" in Westminster
Abbey by Gen. Pershing, is returning
to Coblenz tomorrow.
The decision not to hold the troops
here any longer was due to failure Of
the British government to fix a date
for the ceremony, it was said. Gen.
Pershing has been holding himself in
readiness all week to go to London,
and the troops were expected to leave
for London last Tuesday.
The American embassies in London
and Paris have been in communica-
ton over the situation, but the only
explanation given to Gen. Pershing
by the embassy here was that such
matters usually take a long time to
arrange.

LONDON, October S.-Delay Of the

in the fact that special parliamentary
