FIXED OBLIGATIONS
OF WORKERS CITED.
Federal Employees Fedora
ton Holds Item Must Be
Considered in Study.

Fixed charges which have held up
while the Federal pay scale has been
driven downward must be given proper
consideration in the living costs study
now under way by the Labor Depart
ment to determine If the Is per cent
cut is to be lifted, it was argued in a
statement put in the record Of the de-
partmental inquiry yesterday afternoon
on behalf of the National Federation
Of Federal Employees.
The statement was presented by Miss
Matilda Lindsay of the federation, who
Is aiding in the inquiry.
Fixed Charges Remain Level.
"It is an inescapable fact that not
only have fixed charges remained level
while the Federal wage scale has been
equally true that In many instances
these fixed charges actually have in
creased in the face of sharply depleted
incomes, the statement said.
Among the budgetary items Of Fed
eral employees which either have de-
creased but fractionally, have remained
stationary or have increased, are inter-
est charges on home mortgages, rentals,
taxes of all kinds. including income
taxes, and public utility costs. such as
transportation, light, heat and the like
"A further phase of the situation
which has made the slash in Federal
pay a crushing burden is the fact that
on the basis of a slight, long-deferred
and inadequate increase in 1928, many
Government employees purchased homes,
using savings, and in some cases bor-
rowing upon insurance policies. to make
first payments.
Refinancing Necessary.
"In view of their contractual rela-
tions with their employer. the Federal
Government, these employees were emf
nently justified in thus endeavoring to
provide themselves with shelter against
their old age. When these contractual
relations were voided by the Govern
ment, by pyramiding furloughs and pay
cuts, thousands of workers found it nee
essaIy to rebudget and refinance. Hand
in hand, then. with the cut in income
came increased refnancing costs, often
running to exorbitant rates. At the
same time, too, insurance premiums
rose and insurance dividends decreased -
Concluding, the statement said:
"On the basis Of the data in hand,
restoration Of the pay scale and its in
crease beyond the inadequate levels Of
1928 clearly Is demanded"

COPPER PACT
 AWAITS U. s.
Experts Expect Some New Move By Producers
 This Autumn

London-(UP)-Prospects' for an early resumption of negotia- tons for an international copper regulation scheme depended now entirely upon the United States.
 Experts expect some new move by the U. S. producers this autumn certainly before the yoar-end-- but # is evident that they will re. ceive little or no encouragement from production elsewhere.
 While not lethargic, Belgian and other African producers appear to prefer to sit back and wait for the U. S. to act. Chief responsibll- fly for the chaotic condition of the copper industry is ascribed to U. s. producers, and on this acc count the tendency will be to CO., operate only after the western hemisphere producers shoulder the bulk of the inevitable sacrifices re- quired to reestabiish equilibrium between supply and demand.
 There Is q tendency to believe that President Roosevelt will turn his attention to copper as soon aA he can find the time.

NIGHT SCHOOL
 SHOULD BE OPEN The Federal Government
 Realizes This and Of. , fers Generous Aid

The federal government has come to the rescue of communities who failed to open night schools this fall on account of lack of funds by offering to pay the sal- aries of teachers on condition that they are taken from the ranks of those on the waiting lists or select ed from others than teachers who have ability to fill such positions. This Is e generous offer and shows that Uncle Sam realizes the impor. tance of an education and Is will ing to- make sacrifices to give young people ths Benefit of what they can get in the evening schools.
 Quito a few places have dis pensed with the night schools or reduced the number of teachers so that many anxious to take advan-, tage of them could not be accom- modated.
 The proposition of the national government is likely to be accept- cd, or at least 1t ought to be. in all communities where lack of funds caused suspension Of the evening schools.

 It's Cadillac mountain, in Aca- dia National park, on this pictur- esque island off the Maine coast. John D.

The highway offers q host of gorgeous vistas, but, with q grade of 26 per cent in spots, 1t is considered dangerous to motorists after dark.
