WAGE MEET

ON BILL
Promotions, Full Travel Funds
Also Provided in Program
to Go Before Congress

Full restoration of pay January
/ for Government workers is de-
manded in legislation drafted at
the American Federation of Labor
wage conference and will be in
troduced in Congress at the open
ing session.
The measure also calls for res
toration of travel allowances on
the pre-economy basis, immediate
effectiveness of the classification
act and repeal of all economy"
restrictions on promotions.
Thea. F. of L. wage conference
includes representatives of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, the National Fed

Railway Mail Association, the Ma
tional Association of Letter Car.
riers and of various craft unions
represented in the Government
service.
Aid To Field Workers
The first section of the bill calls
for complete restoration of Gov.
ernment pay January /. The Sec
ond, calling for restoration of Off"
cial travel allowances to pre-econ-
omy act conditions, is considered
of great Importance to those en-
ployes who are assigned to field
work which neceSsitates consider
able travel since, under present
conditions, they must suffer re-
ductions in their compensation for
travel expenses.
The third section of the bill
demands that the classification
act be made effective immedi-
ately. Under the economy legis-
lation of the last few years the
principle of classification has
been so thoroughly obscured that
in a great measure its effective"
ness has been lost, according to
advocates of the proposed legisla-
tion.
1t is stated the A. F.. Of L.
wage conference regards classift-
cation as of vital Importance,
except in those occupations where
for individual reasons the en-
ployes prefer other methods Of
wage fixing. and the extension Of
classification to many field jobs
is desired.
Promotions Urged
The fourth section of the bill
provides for elimination of all
restrictions on promotions under
the economy legislation, including
repeal of the O'Mahoney amend
ment, adopted last year, which
in some degree lifted restrictions

F STREET FIRE
ROBED BY D. c.

Fire officials began probing to-
day into the ruins Of the R.
Harris and Company jewelry firm
to determine the cause of the
five-alarm fire that wrecked the
first two floors of the six-story
structure at 1101 F st. N. w.,
early today, causing damage esti'
mated at $4,000.
Discovered soon after midnight,
the blaze was not controlled until
nearly 3 o'clock. The last fire
truck did not leave the scene
until after 7 o'clock.
Cause Undetermined
Fire Marshal Calvin LAUDER
said the exact cause of the fire
could not be determined until
after investigators from his of1ice
completed their inspection of the
ruins. He said he believed. how
ever, that the fire had started in
a trash room below the sidewalk
and spread to packing cases and
other inflammable material stored
in the basement.
When the first firemen arrived
at the scene the blaze had spread
to the first floor and smoke was
pouring from all of the upper
floors and from the roof. Three
water towers were placed in front
of the burning structure by orders
of Fire Chief Scrom, who feared
the blaze might spread.

KILLING I
Flying HoteP' Found in Ashes
Near Bagdad; Wreck Too
Hot to Be Inspected

CAIRO, Dec. 81 G.N.S0.
Twenty-Five airplanes that secured
the storm.soaked Syrian desert
for the missing Flying Hotep
that placed second in the London
Melbourne air race found it to-
day-a cLArred wreck, its seven
occupants killed.
A detachment Of the British
Royal Air Force risked their own
lives in landing in the mud near
the wreck, but the heat of the
still-smouldering wreckage was
too great for them to approach
close enough to remove the
bodies.
Filters who participated in the
discovery expressed the belief
that the big American-built Doug
lis transport had either been hit
by lightning or forced down IN
the storm shortly after she sent
out her last wireless message
which indicated no trouble-early
Wednesday morning.
The scene of the tragedy was
10 miles south of Rutbah Wells,
one of the few water-holes in the
barren stretch west of Bagdad.
The British army maintains a
small garrison there.
Twenty-four Royal Air Force
planes and one French CONNER
cial machine aided in the hunt.
Officials of the KLM-the
Royal Dutch Air Lines-which
had placed the famous plane on
a regular run, and 1rak authori-
ties left Bagdad Immediately for
the wreck.
The ill-fated plane carried a
crew of four and three passengers.
