After the war, Shaw could have

Friends of the Government en-
ployes, led by Senator Hiram
johnson (R.) of California. re-
newed their arguments that the
proposed cut should not apply to
workers who draw $4,000 or less a
year.
From CharwOman Up
The economy committees plan
is that. with exception of the en-
listed personnel of the Army.
NAVY and Marine Corps, all Gov
ernment workers, from messengers
and charwoman up to heads OF
departments and members of Con-
gress, shall take flat 10 per cent
cut in pay.
Revelation that the major por-
ton of the economy savings would
come from the low-paid employees
caused Senator Johnson and others
to launch the attack upon the
$238, 900, 900 salary reduction bill.
Warning by Johnson
Statistics showed that 348,623
employees, of a total of 732,460,
earn only about one-quarter OF
the money expended for govern
mental salaries. These earn 1900
or less and receive $264, ,227 ,667 AZ
of 81 1,055, $40, ,636.55.
There are more than $4,000
Government employees earning
only $1,000 year.
Assailing the proposal to slash
the salaries of these low paid
workers, Johnson warned such
action would retard the return Of
prosperity.
On the other hand, proponents
of the wage slashes asserted a
man could live as we'll today on
a salary of $1,000 as he did Two
years ago on $4,000.

NEW CURRENCY.
SCHEME FINDS
FAVOR
Glass Proposal to Issue
Notes Against U. S. Bonds
Studied by Senate

A proposal to expand the
nations currency to the ex-
tent of billion dollars
through the agency of Gov
ernment bonds was studied to-
day by members of the Senate
after it had received the
unanimous approval of the
Senate Banking and Currency
Committee.
The proposal was formally Of
fered by Senator Glass of Vir-
ginia, as substitute for the
GoldSborough bill to peg" the
dollar at it's 1925 level.
Under the Glass substitute, gov
ernment bonds held in national
banks could be deposited in the
Federal Treasury and circulating
notes received in their stead. The
amount Of notes issued to any
bank would be limited to the
amount of it's capital stock.
Senator Norbeck (R.). Of South
Dakota, chairman of the Bank
ing and Currency Committee, de-
clared:
1--WE were favOrabIy influenced
by the fact that the Glass bill
offers nothing new, radical, or
untried. For 10 years, Govern
ment bonds have been used as
notes. Even at present, Pan
anna gold UOnds are so used.
We understand the Treasury
will not oppose this measure"
Senator 'Valcott (RD of Con-
necticut asserted:
I'm my belief, there is no
present need for this additional
expansion. The National banks
now have authority to issue up
to $114,OOO,OOO and the fact
that it is not used is evidence
1t is not needed"

HURLEY ASSA|LS
GARNER BILL
AS Doll"
TeStifies at House Hearing as
Mills, at Senate Quiz, Raps
Wagner Bond Issue

The Administration turned
/ its Cabinet guns loose on pend
ing relief bills in Congress to-
day.
Secretary of War Hurley,
appearing before the House
Ways and Means Committee,
opposed the Garner bill, and
at the same time Secretary
of the Treasury Mills was
voicing his objections to the
$500, 100000 bond issue pro-
posed in the Wagner bill.
Hurley told the Ways and
Means Committee there is in the
existing budgetary estimates pro-
vision for $69, 100000 for rivers
and harbors work, (which he esti-
mated would provide employment
for 24,264 persons.
Garner Attentive
The Garner bill, he said, pro-
poses to expend $154, 400, 900 and
would create 63,442 jobs.
Hurley confined his criticism
of the measure to the rivers and
harbors and flood control provi-
Sions.
Speaker Garner was an atten-
tive listener as the Secretary of
War analyzed the measure.
Mills indorsed the principal
features of the Wagner measure,
except the bond issue. He said
the Treasury approved the pro-
posed loan of $500, 100000 through
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration to States for direct re-
lief and the loan of $1,46O, ,00O, 900
to States for Self-liquidating pub
lie building projects.
Firm Against Bonds
But he was firm against the
$500, 100000 bond issue to finance
puollc works which are not self.
hquldatlng. He testified:
The fundamental objection
to this bond issue proposal is

plated is the creation of a spe.

the amount of $500, 900, 900 to
be covered by a special bond
issue.
Approximately $500, 900, 900
of this sum would be spent for
additional public works.
Hurley criticized that provision
OF the Garner bill which would
give $100,O0O,0O0 to President
Hoover for relief purposes, to be
expended under his jurisdiction.
He said:
ut is a dole and am un-
alterably opposed to it.
1--WE have seen a great empire
brought to the verge of ruin
through the dole system, and it
should be a warning to u.s."
Representative Lewis D) of
Maryland interjected:
"YOu can't dispose of a sacred
subject like human relief by
terming 1t a DOLE"
Hurley. nevertheless, clung to
his description of the grant as a
dole"
Congress, he said, was merely
trying to pass the buck" to
President Hoover.
Representative Doughton DD
of North Carolina asked Hurley
if he "preferred starvation to the
dole"
Hurley replied he was con-
vinced communities have not ex-
hausted their resources in caring
