consul in Bombay, India, and for
the past fifteen years engaged in

feeling of friendship for each other
than the average citizens do for
each other in the States"

members of the American colony in
Bombay. the speaker said, was
against the four-power treaty.
Americans do not believe 1t nee
essary to the wealth or safety Of
our grand country" Borden de-

CAUSES $1,000 DAMAGE

Three companies Of fire-fighters
and the fire boat were summoned
this morning to a fire in the can
teen at the Boiling Field air sta
ton when damage estimated at
IS, 900 was caused. The origin Of the
blaze has not been determined.
The fire had made considerable
Roadway before 1t was discovered by

When the blaze was discovered the
men at the army and navy fields
were aroused by the officers of the
day and in a short time they were
ready for any emergency. Their
services were not needed, however,
as the firemen from Anacostia were
on the scene in a few minutes after
the alarm was sounded.

WAGES OF 1900
D. c. WORKERS
Reduction in Pay Of Per Diem
Employees Ranges From
3 to 3.66 Per Cent.

The District Of Columbia govern
ment IL getting back to. normally.
The 81 800 per diem employees had
their wages chopped today.
A wage scale reducing these en-
ployes from to 1855 per cent was
ployes from 3 to $3.50 per cent was
board meeting this morning. The
order says:
1.-The Board. considering living
conditions and commercial rates paid
locally recommends that the scale
be further reduced effective April 1.
1922, as follows:
"All wage scale rates less than
$3.36 are reduced by 8 cents.
"All wage scale rates from $3.36
to $5.36 inclusive are reduced Is
cents.
"All wage scale rates over $3.50
are reduced by "a cents.
This amounts to reduction OF
approximately SO per cent. figures
devisible by 8 being retained SO that
the daily rate may be reduced to
hourly rate"
The Commissioners call attention
to the fact that the Department Of
Labor sometime ago made a report
showing that there had been a drop
Of 10 per cent in the living costs In
the District of Columbia below the
high level which obtained during and
Immediately after the war.
In announcing the new wage scale
the Commissioners say that:
THE pay of employees whose rate
of pay is fixed by Commissioners

missioners.'
The order lists the workers to be
affected. the character of services
rendered and the per diem rate Of

DEADLOCK
CONTINUES
ON BUDGET
Conferees, at Odds on Tax
Rider, Take Up Other
! Moot Items.

With the deadlock on the Jones
tax rider unbroken, the Senate
and House conferees on the Dis
trict appropriations bill waived
discussion Of that feature Of the
measure today and took up the
other points Of disagreement be-
tween the two bodies.
Seek To Strike Bargain.
The public school item and the
81 500, 900 conduit item were dis
cussed. but no agreement was
reached. 1t tecame apparent that
the conferees on both sides were
sparring, and trying to reach a
satisfactory basis for bargaining.
After a tense session lasting two
hours. the meeting was broken up
for a few minutes when the Senate
convened at noon. Immediately
afterward, however, the two groups
locked horns again, with the pros
pect that they would continue until
mid-afternoon.
Congressman Davis, heading the
House conferees, showed a distinct
disinclination to accept any OF the
major Senate amendments. He was
armed with bulky documents con-
tanning transcript Of the hearings
held by the House committee and
made an extended defense Of the
cuts in the District budget that had
been decreed by the House.
Senators Stand Ground.
The Senate conferees, headed by
Senator Wesley Jones, stood their
ground and sounded out the House
group in order to find II there was
any basis on which they would
agree to bargain. Apparently Con-
gressmen Davis and Ben Johnson
felt 1t would be useless to reach any
final agreement on the various items
until the tax question had been
settled.
The Senate bill contains $416, 900
more for street improvements and
repairs than was allowed by the
House. There Is also a $4,000
appropriation for street cleaning and
snow removal. which the House re-
fused to accept, and also $4,000
for Fairgrounds. The Senate also
allowed seventy-five extra police
men for the District force.
So far rs these items are con-
cerned, the House ID in a receptive
frame of mind. But the conferees
are not going to yield definitely
upon them until they know what
concessions the Senate conferees
will be willing to make in other
directions.
All reports indicate there Is no
probable basis of agreement on the
tax rider. Investigation by the
House members has convinced them
there Ia no course open to them
than outright rejection, it is under
stood.
