The medical fraternity has made
no progress whatever In the last 10
years to control, cure or prevent In.

Senate yesterday during q discussion
of the Ransdell bill, creating ma

at Is the lamentable truth that in
the 10 years since the terrible epi-
demic of 191S,* said Copeland. the
medical profession has made no prog
ress whatever in the control, cure or

strates how important It Is that this
bill should be enacted into law. We

PUSHING
MERGER

The Maltbie merger resolu-
ton will be pressed for early
action in the House by Repre-
sentative Frederick n. Zihl-
man of Maryland, chairman of
the House District Committee.
Zihlman introduced the resolution
in the House yesterday shortly after
Chairman Capper, Of the Senate
District Committee, had filed with
the Senate his committees favor
able report on the proposal.
Set for Next Week
ZibIman announced that the reso-
luton will be considered by his COM
mittee at its regular meeting next
week. Little opposition to the new
plan is expected In that committee
in view of the fact that last year
it reported favorably on the wilson
merger plan. which was much less
desirable from a public STANDPOINT.
In fact, it is quite probable that
the merger resolution will be ap'
proved in the House long before 1t
even comes up for discussion In the
Senate, where 1t originated.
House Leaders Must Agree
Under the House rules it will be
a simple matter for Zihlman to
obtain vote on the resolution II
House leaders agree to 1t. In the
Senate the resolution faces legis-
Iative jam and determined oppo.
sition from a progressive group
who want to attach rider setting
forth controversial principle Of
valuation.
In reporting the resolution TO the
Senate yesterday, Chairman Capper
emphasized four benefits which will
accrue to the public through Its
adoption, namely, better service
through unification. savings from
universal transfers, prot lection
against higher fares for two years.
and lower comparative fares there.
after through fair valuation and
the economies of joint operation.
Senator Blaines OF Wisconsin is
expected to submit a minority re-
port on the resolution within few
days. Blaine win oppose it unless
his valuatio amendment is adopted.

DAT A
POVERTY
PLEA

The conflict over Federal
pay schedules, which has been
anticipated as the result of the
preliminary report of the Per-
sonnel Classification Board,
slated to be submitted to Con-
gress next week, will not
! 1naterialize.
Officials of the board have de-
termined to Withhold for the present
recommendation as to salary
equalization. These viii be forth
coming in the final report on per.
sonnel conditions, which will not
he ready until the next Congress.
1t became known today, however,
athat the data assembled by the
board is decidedly unfavorable and
discouraging to the prospects Of
the rank and file of Government
workers receiving any further in
! creases In pay.
U. s. Pay Better
The data shows that 70 per cent
of the workers in private employ
ment in the District of Columbia,
so far as simple clerical and tipping
tasks are OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES as
grade 1 of the CAF service--are
receiving less pay than the min
Ainiuln paid by Uncle Sam to similar
workers.
They also reveal the fact that
Federal salaries in this grade are.
On the average, 80 per cent higher
than those paid by private en-
ployers. The average authorized
salary in this grade II S1,410. In
Grade two of the CAT service, In
which the average salary is $3.50,
the Government pay is % per cent
higher than in private employ, and
In grade three, in which the aver
age salary is $1,770. Uncle Sans
pay Is 3 per cent higher.
This Grade Lower
IN these three grades is found
theY- great bulk of Government
workers When it comes to grade
4, reaching the more technical ard
sexpert types Of clerical work, the
pendulum swings in the opposite
direction. The average Federal
salary in this grade is $3.50, and
1t is 2h per cent lower than private
employers pay for comparable
work.
From this point to the. range of
$4,000 salaries, Government pay runs
on fairly even terms with private
work, with the advantage remain.
ing with the latter From $4,000
upward, however, the margin is
heavily against Federal employees.
These figures will not be Off
&cially sent to Congress for the
present, but they win be set forth
at b later date. when the pay issue
in Congress reaches an intensive
stage. It is not likely however,
! that the Personnel Classification
Board will recommend any reduc.
tioIls in Government salaries as

it will merely use the data as the

The city heads have practically
abandoned the fight.
Today two letters written to buoy
the sinking hearts of the Commits
sioners were received at the District
Building. One was from c. H.
Smith. Seattle, Washington, and
the other from ]. A. Do~d, Phila-
delphia.
Sturnus vulgaris means star.
ling "a starting is bird about
the size of a small hlackbird and
looks something like one. 1t is a
menace, the Commissioners feel. be-
cause it insists on roosting in trees
over much used sidewalks and on
the lodges of buildings.
Thousands of protests against the
bird have. been received by the
Commissioners. The District Build
ing has been defaced and owners of
automobiles parked under trees in
habited by the starlings complain
that they are forced to wash their
machines every day. Merchants on
Pennsylvania Avenue complain that
their customers hesitate to pass
under the trees to reach their
stores.
For two years the Commissioners
fought the birds with no success.
Many Suggestions
Smith proposes that the District
Building and trees inhabited b. the
birds be charged with electricity,
Dowd suggests that blank cartridges
be fired near. their roosting place
for two hours every day at sun
down.
Both writers point out that
something must be done to pro.
tect visitors to the city during
inaugural week.
The Commissioners agree that
something should be done. But
they don't think they win do any.
