RAISE FOR.
NAVY YARD
CLERKS
Federation Head Appeals to
Board for IS Per Cent
Advance.

Urging at least 25 per cent In.
crease in the salaries of clerical em.
ployes In the Navy Yard, to recti-
fy the disproportionate cut in their
pay last year, Luther G. Steward,
president Of the National Federation
Of Federal Employees, today appear.
ed on behalf Of that organizati ton
before the Navy Department wage
hoard. Navy Yard clerks who have
to qualify by tests of education,
training and experience are at pres.
ent paid less than the man who
pushes q wheelbarrow. he declared.
The board is sitting to consider
the recommendation Of local wage
boards as to wage schedules for all
OF the navy yards and stations In
the United States, and is hearing
the case Of the employees by occu-
pational groups. Steward presented
also the case OF the Navy Yard DO
licemen, and on behalf OF all en-
ployes Of the Honolulu and other in
sular, navy stations, where geo.
graphic and climate conditions i'm.
pose special hardships be asked for
70 per cent wage differential.
Comparisons Difficult.
iHo CieFlCdl IOfCe always suffers
from the indefiniteness OF the term
clerk" said Steward, "and this is
especially true when Government
salaries are fixed by comparison
with salaries for similar work in
private employment. In few places
outside Of the Government service IL
one OF the chief executive officers
termed n chief clerk and the
duties OF any kind Of clerk" may
be quite different In one kind Of
business or even In one office of
the same kind and other. So far
- the information before this board
v concerned the clerks are At tie
mercy Of the person who furnishes
the outslde data. Nobody on the

PLEA FOR
SLASH IS
DENIED .
Formal Decision by Utilities
Commissioners Issued-At-

torney Clayton Criticised.
Concurring with the opinion Of
Corporation Counsel Stephens
that the reduction Of the rate Of
fare on the lines Of the Capital
Traction Company would be
illegally discriminatory and q
grave injury to Wsshington's
street car riding public, the Pub
lie Utilities Commission today
issued their formal decision deny"
ing the application of the Feder-
alton of Citizens Association for
o reduction in fare on the Capital
Fraction lines.
Mental Somersault.
Digging UP testimony given by
William NICK. Clayton in February,
1919, which they quoted at length
in their decision. the Commissioners
endeavored to prove that Mr.. Clay
ton, who represented the federation
Of citizens in all Of the rate hear
ing cases during the past several
years, has turned q mental sosm..
ersault" on this question. =
In their decision the public utility
officers reminded that the applica-
ton of the federation raises the
same question that has been before
the commission in every street rail-
way rate case since October. 1918.
namely: That of uniform rate of
fare on all the street railway lines
in the District" Furthermore, they
make II plain that they have finally
decided that they have not the legal
power to ask for a reduction on one
line only, and they hint that even II
they had the legal right. they would
hesitate to do so, because 1t would
tend to bankrupt the Washington
Railway and Electric Company.
Prepared for Courts.
Knowing that Mr.. Clayton has
stated that IL the application OF
the federation Is denied that they
will doubtlessly decide at their next
meeting to air the matter in court.
the Commission has prepared their
decision with extreme care.
1t bristles with quotations from
former hearings, and with testi-
mony given by Mr.. Clayton on
three different occasions when he
expressed the conviction that the
street car rate In Washington must
be uniform for the two lines.
Another important phase Of the
local street railway situation" the
Commission sets forth In its de.
cision, ''is the desire Of certain
portion Of eEe public for changes
in the physical plant of the com
panies. such as the substitution Of
the underground trolley for the
overhead trolley system, the re.
placement Of center pole construc.
tfon. the abolition Of the use of
one-man cars. etc.
The Commission has adopted the
policy OF curtailing capital expendi-
lures which are not accomplished
BY corresponding increases In rev.
enue. while at the same time ef-
forts are being made to reduce
operating expenses. Any measure

duties Of the remaining employees
become more varied and conse.
quently make more demands upon
the individual. A supervisory clerk
who had, say, fifty subordinates en-
gagged on one kind of work NAV be
now In charge of twenty subordi.
mates on five different kinds OF
work. Obviously he has many times
the more difficult job In the latter
case than he had before the force
was reduced.
Police Duties Hazardous.
THE Navy Yard police as well as
the clerks have suffered from in.
accurate comparison with outside
work. Policemen are paid at the
rate Of watchmen. They are not
merely watchmen, however, whose
duty It may be TO. keep a light go.
ing, for instance, See that no fires
occur, and perform such routine
duties as that. The Nevy Yard
police are guards with hazardous
duties. They must preserve order
and discipline In and about the
yards and protect valuable property

Arguing for recognition OF a

ency of the departments pronounce
