Measure to Fix Wages VIII Be
brought Before Congress.
Washington. A bill to fix new
wage standards for all government EN-
ployees is to be one Of the first meas
ures to obtain consideration at the APP
preaching session of congress. Sal
airy scales. in general, according to
plans outlined, will be raised, but
wages for several classes of employees
may be reduced.
Senator Smoot. Republican, Utah,
with the aid of treasury experts, is
preparing a bill for the Reconsideration
of government salaries. 1t is the plan
to cease paying federal employees
from lump sums, at salaries fixed al
the will Of bureau chiefs, and also to
dispense with the bonus system adopt
ed during the war.
Among the abuses aimed at are con-
ditions found, according to Senator
Smoot, in various departments where
some employees receive many hun
dreds of dollars more or less than
others doing exactly similar work.

in 1907. In 1910 he startled the base
ball world, then worshiping at the
feet of Christy Mathewson, by turn
ing in 20 victories. That was the be.
ginning of his career as the most eff
fectiye twirler in either league.
Since that memorable campaign of
1910, Walter has reached the pinnacle
OF his success by winning 36 games in
a single season. Each year he has al
lowed his opponents less runs than
any other pitcher in the Ban johnson
circuit. He has been among the lead
ers Of the league in the number of
strikeouts and consecutive scoreless
innings. In 1919 his work was below
his standard. He won only 20 games.

HOnus Wagner is among those men
toned by Promoter Lawson of the new
outlaw baseball league as q desirable
prospect. When Wagner retired 1t was
said he had gathered fortune, but
now there are rumors that he is
yearning to get back into the game.
Wagner did not quit until he was
nearly forty-five years of age, and
even when he retired he could have
had all sorts Of jobs in baseball, but
he spurned all offers to manage clubs
In major and minor leagues and that
sort Of thing.
The game was no side issue, no sec
ond consideration with him. He never
tried to cash his reputation as a dia-
mond star in other lines of work or
play as so many other famous play
ers have done.
Earned His Salary.
When he quit it was said he had
made big money, but he made it all
in his profession, and gave a dollars
worth of effort for every dollar he
received in return, writes AL Sphinx in
Chicago Post. He could have added
thousands of dollars to his income had
he been willing to accept offers which
were made to him by those who were
eager to trade upon his prowess.
A big clothing firm In Pittsburgh a
few years ago approached Wagner with
a proposition to pose as head Of its
mems furnishing department during
the winter months.

Relic OF Dark Ages Put in Operation,
Four Negroes Being Whipped.
Wilmington, Dela.-At Newcastle
county workhouse, on Saturday, four
negroes felt the sting of the Delaware
whipping post law. Those whipped
were Warner Lewis, convicted of lar
ceny and sentenced to one year in
prison and twenty lashes; Leonard
Barrett, highway robbery, ten years
and forty lashes, and John Richard
son and Horace Archie, highway rob-
berry, ten years and forty lashes each.
Only by occasional flinchirg did the
victims give evidence of phS steal suf-
feIing.
This total of 14O lashes was the
largest imposed at the whipping post
in this country for many years. The
tendency of recently enacted laws has
been to permit more discretion in the
courts in respect to imposing corporal
punishment.

tie This Problem First.
Washington.-Mr Fordney told Re
publican senator's on Saturday that
tariff revision would have clear right
of way In the house. The committee
bill for revision of the internal revenue
taxes will not be introduced, he said,
until both the emergency tariff and
the general revision bills have been
passed.
Representative Fordney conferred
with Chairman Penrose OF the senate
finance committee, and is understood
TO have been urged to modify his
plans for procedure with the internal
tax legislation. AS near simultaneous
consideration of the tariff and tax
bills as possible is advocated by sew
eral influential Republican senators.
The general tax modification plan Is
pretty well agreed upon by Republic
cans of the house committee. 1t was
said. Repeal of the excess profits
taxes and reduction Of the higher in
come surtaxes is virtually certain, but
an agreement as to substitute taxes
was said not to have been reached.

Manager Clark Griffith no end OF
worry. The former pride and most ef-

did not appear on the mound as often
as in other years. He had not been
winning games at his usual rate, and
Griffith diagnosed his trouble as the
much-to-be-feared "sore arm"
The Big Swede took the full course
Of treatment that all star twirlers
with lame wings are in the habit Of
undergoing. He visited the famous
Bonesetter Reese at Youngstown, o.,
tried all sorts and varieties of treat
ment, but all seemed useless at the
time.
Every time the speed king warmed
up last season the strange, dull pain
was still in his arm and he was use
less. AS all treatments seemed to
have failed, Old Fox Griffith gambled
with fate and with arms. He sent
Johnson out to his farm in the hope
that rest would do the mighty right
arm more good than any amount Of
surgery.
Last season was the first year since
1909 that johnson failed to turn in
less than 20 victories. He had won
eight and lost ten when he was COM
