employees of the Federal Gov
ernment, President Coolidge
told Congress in his annual
message today.
His words were taken as an indi-
cation that he will not sign any bill

Congress may enact at the coming
session.
Cites Increases
The President told Congress that
ID seven years the average pay OF
Government employees has been In
creased BY more than So per cent.
The average salary in 1921, he said,
was 81 ,3O7, while today 1t Is $2,092.

gress that higher paid employees In
the Federal service are now getting
