James F. Byrnes Cd, of South
Carolina, was assigned to guide
the bill through in as nearly the
form that President Roosevelt
had recommended as possible.
After scrutinizing the situation,
Senate Byrnes, however, plainly
saw that the Senate would not
be satisfied to go along with
only a S per cent salary restora-
ton for employees on July !, and,
at his request, the Senate Appro-
priations Committee agreed to
the IS and S" pay restoration
plan.
It apparently was his belief
that yielding" to such an ex-
tent would ward off affirmative
action by the Senate on the de-
mandS that then were growing
to restore Government salaries
in full. His proposition called
for a one-third restoration Of the
amount Of the pay cut on Feb
ruary ! and an additional one
third restoration on July /.
It was then that The Times
initiated its vigorous campaign for
pay restoration, and pointed out
in editorials day after day that
it was the duty of Congress to
restore the entire amount of the
pay cut as a matter Of justice.
Price Rise Cited
The editorials related that liv-
ing costs had increased abnor-
mally in the National Capital and
that the argument that the pay
cut should continue as a matter
of economy held water no longer
since the Government was spend
ing billions in an effort to increase
purchasing power throughout the
nation, and Government employees
salary restoration provided as
sound a means for attaining this
purpose as any.
Senator Byrnes and other Ad-
miniStration Stand-patters with
held bringing up the bill in the
Senate while an attempt was be-
ing made by them to lineup Suf-
ficient votes to keep the Senate
from voting additional pay resto-
ration and veterans benefits.
Finally, however, the bill came
before the Senate, and on Febru-
airy IL Senator McCarran, sup
ported by a group of others in the
Upper Chamber, were successful
in having an amendment adopted
which would have restored per
cent Of the lost pay, retroactive
to February !, and the remainder
on July l. After wrangling over
veterans provisions of the meas
ure the Senate on February q
passed the bill, with the McCarran
pay a: oendment. and others in
creasing veterans benefits incor-
porated in it.
The Times then urged upon
House members the equity aud
justice of voting to concur with
the Senate in the full pay restora-
ton provision, but the House lead
ers then injected an almost un-
precedented procedure to compel
the House to stand by the Presi-
dent, by referring the bill back to
its Appropriations Committee in
stead of sending the measure to a
conference between Senate and
House representatives.
Veto Predicted
Later, however, they found this
a futile move and permitted the
House to vote on the Senate
amendments. It was asserted by
House leaders that the President
would veto the bill if the Senate

smaller than it was prior to
June 30, 1884.
There is no doubt in my
judgment but that the Govern
ment will receive in increased
effort on the part Of its en-
plOyes full compensation in the
production Of more work and
also better work as q result Of
this increase.
'It should be stated that Gov
eminent employees in Washing
ton, d. c., and elsewhere re-
member with appreciation the
splendid fight made in their be-
half by The Washington Times.
There is no doubt whatever
that The Washington Times
contributed materially in the
restoration Of the 5 per cent
pay cut effective July l, 1884"
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-07-16

amendments were carried. but at
the same time it was implied by
the leaders that the President
would approve the "five-and-five"
plan. ~ ST
They were stormy days in the
House, but the outcome was that
the House agreed to the "five-and.
five" plan, and the bill was sent
to conference March Is. The
conference, after a two-hour ses-
sion, reported a disagreement and
the bill was taken back to the
House which again voted to stand
on it's former position, approving
the "five-and-five" plan.
After a week of delay, during
which Administration leaders at
tempted to find way to keep ex.
penditureS called for under the
bill at a minimum, the measure
again was taken up in the Senate
and there, after those close to the
White House predicted that the
President would veto the bill, prin-
cipally because of the added veter.
ans relief provisions, Senator NC
Carran expressed the belief that
the "five-and-five" plan was the
best which could be obtained un'
der the circumstances and he
moved the Senate concur with the
House on this proposition. The
conference report finally was
agreed to on March %.
Sent to the President, the bill
was vetoed by the Chief Execu'
tive on March 81.
On March % the bill was passed
over the Presidents veto.

Federal Employees has had wide
spread support. None has been
more effective than that accorded
by The Washington Times. Its
editorials in behalf of the Federal
workers cause have been fearless,
out-spoken and completely con-
vincing.
Furthermore, the consistency
with which they appeared in The
Washington Times from day to
day during the height Of the con-
gressional campaign undoubtedly
was a large factor in the accom-
plishment of the constructive
ends in view.

Thousands of them have not

And like some soldiers, 7 sus-

not know what they are there for,
