PLAN
Teachers, Firemen, Police and
Others Who Suffer Pay
Cut Favor 1t

President Coolidge may be
called upon to summon Congress
for special session next month
to pass the second deficiency ap-
preparation bill, which failed in
the Senate during the last mo-
ments before the session closed
Saturday night.
Backed By Veterans.
Special meetings of District police.
men, firemen and teachers probably
will be held during the next few
weeks to urge that relief measures
be taken.
They will have the endorsement
Of District officials in this direction
and undoubtedly will receive the
support of World War veterans or
CARNATIONS.
The President will be told that
thousands of members Of the police
and fire departments and the public
school teaching and administrative
forces will suffer great hardship
unless action is taken.
Reduces Salaries.
The failure Of the deficiency bill
not only defers payment of the
salary increases. which were to
have become effective July 1, but
actually results in a reduction of
salaries of $40 a month through
elimination Of the $240 bonus.
Failure of the bill also results
in a material delay in organizing
the administrative machinery to
carry out the terms of the sol
diers' bonus law.
An appeal to Washington police
men to stick by their posts despite
the setback given them at the
hands OF Congress was made today
by Milton D. Smith, president Of
the Policemen's Association.
Banquet Is Cancelled.
The banquet, which had been
planned for next Wednesday night
by Washington school teachers to
celebrate the victory of the long
fight for a just salary scale has
been cancelled.
The failure Of the deficiency bill
means that many of them will be
unable to take vacations this vear.

been getting. Corresponding reduc-
tons will be made all along the line
IN the three great municipal serv-
ices.

day by police officials.
Under the law the men are en-.
titled to one days leave in each
seven beginning July 1. This au-
thorization necessitates increases of
approximately one-seventh in the
personnel of each department.
The deficiency bill provided tor
lib additional officers and men in
the Fire Department and 1873 officers
and men In the Police Department.

THE REALTORS CREED,

An old reader of this column,
somewhat pessimistic over his
efforts to find suitable
apartment in this city at reason
able rates, quotes the creed of q
Florida realtor attending the re-
cent convention:
"The Golden Rule I will apply
In everything I do;
In all I sell and all 1 buy

Then adds that his expert
ences here cause him to think
that there are some realtors in
this city whose creed is:
'The Golden Rule 1 viii deny

Thus as / rent, lease, sell or buy,

President Coolidge's message to
congress was hailed today by Repub-
1icans in both houses as strong,
able document, setting forth the main
issues which confront the country.
Particularly we'll pleased were they
with the emphasis laid by the Pres
ident on the need for strict economy
y in the conduct of the Government.
Those Senators who have urged
that steps be taken to aid the farm
ers were pleased with the evident in
4 terest which the President showed in
the problem OF the agricuturists.
Senator Capper of Kansas head of
I the so-called farm bloc. agreed with
the comments of Mr.. Coolidge regard
ing the agricultural situation. He
pointed out that the recommends :
lions OF the President for farm legls-
lation are to come later. after the
Horticultural conference appointed by
the Executive has submitted its re-
port.

THE message is a most excellent

Z Speaker Gillett, Senator-eIect from

; 1T was interesting, suggestive and
fwise: it was full Of hard common
4sense, and yet was also infused with
a spirit of patriotism and idealism."
s Senator Curtis of Kansas, Republi-
can leader of the Senate: 1T was a
strong message, and gave to the
( country an excellent conception of
the aims of the administration.
What the President had to say about
ECONOMY was particularly impres-
sive."
Gratifying to Moses.
Senator Moses, New Hampshire:
"The message is good stuff, and in its
references to the protective tariff, the
!Drotection Of party rights in elections,
its plea for the recognition of the
snegroes constitutional privileges, it
}js most gratifying to those who share.

Sreal and robust craftsmanship"
/ Senator Hef1in. Alabama, Demo-
icrat: 1T does very well in some par
eticularS and is woefully weak in
3others. His reference in the main TO
agriculture shows that the President
does not understand the grave prob
lens that confront the farmers of the
country. I regret that the President
had nothing TO say about the tremen-
dous slush fund collected and eX-
pended by the Republicans in the re-
cent election. Their lavish and cor
irupt use of money in the recent cam
paign and election is without paral-
lei in our history
