BANKERS ALARMED
BY UNION ACTIVITY

NEW YORK, Aug. 8-The recent
wage revision for bank clerks, it IS
now discovered, was because employ
ers are worried over the trade Union
wave that is sweeping through the
financial district. The bankers do not
conceal their Interest in this matter
and certain newspapers are aiding
the anti-union sentiment by picturing
the easy life and promotions Of the
clerks.
1t is estimated that there are 10000
clerks and bank employees in this city.
These workers are eligiable to the
Bookkeepers,' Stenographers and Ac-
countants' union, which is chartered
directly by the A. F. of l. To stop
victimization by the bankers, the ut
most secrecy is being used in the
campaign and the executive board of
the union has employed the presi-
dent and secretary to carry on the
work of organization. They are the
only ones who know the names Of the
clerks who have joined the union or
who have signified their intention of
joining as the movement becomes
stronger.

MISSOURI REDUCES
|NFANTlDEATH RATE

The United States Public Health
Service issues the following bulletin:
Citizens who live in communities
apathetic to their infant death rate
should consider carefully the results
of the cooperative rural health work
now being carried on in Green coun-
ty, Missouri. A report just received
by the United States Public Health
Service at Washington shows a re-
markable reduction in the infant NOR
tally rate in Springfield and Camp
bell townships since the establish
ment there Of a whole-time county
health department,
In 11s the death rate in these two
Missouri townships was los per thou
sand. That is, out of every 1000 babies
born alive, los died in that year. Then
Green county decided 1t could no long
er afford to continue unmindful OF
its baby death rate and health de-
partment was organized.
In the following year 1919, the in
FAINT death rate in these two town.
ships dropped to 96 per 1000. In
1872, it went to IS. in 1921 to 76, and
in 1922 the decline reached 81. In
other words Springfield and Camp
bell townshipsp reduced their infant
mortality rate AZ per cent within the
short space of four years.
This forty-two per cent reductions
furnishes striking example of what
may be accomplished in infant well
fare by carrying out, with economy
and efficiency, a well balanced gem
eral program of health work affecting
all age-sex groups in a community
with a well administered health de-
partment under the direction Of a
whole-time health officer.

its babies should give cause to every

Pay Of District Employees.

Interesting figures have come from
the Personnel Classification Board re-
lating to increased salaries for 2,2o0
District employees. The schedule made
out by the board is in the hands Of
the budget bureau, and the announce
ment appears In print that these
salary increases will probably be IN
next fiscal year when it is sent to
Congress"
There are one or two rivers to cross
before the salary increase becomes
visible on the District employees pay
check, but there is little doubt that
they will be crossed in safety. The
increase would bring the annual
amount paid the 2,290 men and WON.
en- benefited to the sum of $3,o36,152,
an increase of $900.371 over the pres.
ent basic salaries. The increase over
basic salary and bonus would be
s276.335.
1t Is a decided advantage to have
what is now a bonus made a part OF
the regular salary. and the increase
Of 10 per cent above base salary,
plus the bonus. would be highly graft.
flying. This increase should have been
made many years ago. but as the old
saying has it. better late than never"
For years 1t has been pointed out
that District employees have been
grievously underpaid. using for, COM
parison the pay scales OF the federal
departments at Washington. Nobody
will hold that standard to be high
one. And IL they are grievously un-
derpaid in comparison with employees
in the federal departments at Wash
ington one must know by what
slender margin District employees have
kept body and soul together during
the years of high living cost.

An Aroused Citizenship.

&AA 34kOuoVN
The citizenship conference, called in
the interest of the enforcement OF the
prohibition law is tremendously sig,
nificant. From every state in the
Union, from church, temperance and
civic organizations, the men and
women gathered here are representa-
tive of the same forces which made
the eighteenth amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States possible.
They are here to launch a great move
ment to make the enforcement of the
prohibition law 100 per cent effective.
After the long struggle terminating
In the adoption of the constitutional
amendment and the passage of the
Volstead act. millions of good citizens
who believed in prohibition sat back
to watch the law work. They forgot
that laws do not enforce themselves;
that there must be a vigilant public
opinion behind them if they are to be
effective. Too many of Americas most
respectable citizens have been inclined
to regard prohibition as a joke, a ges-
ture of the reformers, instead of a
part of the fundamental law of the
land. If the same people were inclined
to look at murder, for EXAMPLE, as a
joke. and the law protecting citizens
against murder as gesture not to be
seriously regarded, it would scarcely
be safe to walk the streets.
The citizenship conference is an in
dication that the people who believe
in law and order are at last aroused.
All but a very few of the Amer
lean people believe in law and order,
and In constituted government. 1t is
not difficult to discern that the present
movement means hard times for the
bootlegger and the rum-runner.
Federal Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes, addressing the conference,
welcomed this outpouring of citizens
in the interest of law enforcement.
Often, he said. the enforcement officers
have felt lonesome because the
people who believe in prohibition and
law enforcement have held aioof.
AS a matter Of fact the solution of
the enforcement problems is In the
hands of the citizens themselves.
Politics has been charged with max
ing the prohibition law ineffective.
But it Is in the power of the citizens
to make politics as clean as new fallen
snow Go home, Commissioner Haynes
told the delegates, and make politics
what Il should be in this country, and
the federal officials and agents, the
state and municipal officials, will en-
force the prohibition and all other
laws as they should be enforced.
Prohibition was overwhelmingly
adopted by the votes of the federal
Congress and ratified by forty-six OF
the forty.eight states. If the people
who made this possible undertake now
10 bring about strict enforcement of
the law, beyond all manner of doubt
they can do so. Out of the present
conference may grow an organization
OF huge power on the side of law en-
forcement, an organization that will
conduct a campaign of education
which in the end cannot fail to be
effective.

Increase in Fines.

From time to time come statements
OF increasing Police Court receipts.
It is argued that lawlessness is in
creasing, and that Washipgtonians
are becoming a lawless crew. 1t is
also argued that the increase in crime
is not disproportionate to the increase
in population and the multiplication
Of things that man may be fined for
doing or failing to do. 1t is asserted
that there is tightening up in enforce
ment Of laws, and that police are MAX
ing arrests for things which they did
not trouble themselves or others about
. a few years ago. -
1t Is clear tfast the population has
grown at a remarkable rate, consider
Ing that Washington Is merely the
National Capital and that its chief in

dustry is increasing, but operation of
the government works is still the chief
industry here. Washington's retail

is development in light manufactures
