Employees Can Be COnsoled
Government employees can be
somewhat consoled, however, it
appeared, in that whatever action
is taken by the House and Senate
conferees or even if the President
vetoes the bill, it is generally be-
lieved that the salary provision
ultimately will give the employees
no less than a five per cent restor-
alton of their salaries Immediately
and an additional five per cent
on July !.
It is not expected that the
House will take up the bill today,
due to the Democratic conference
called for tonight, and until that
meeting is held the entire matter
will be more or less left in the air
unless President Roosevelt makes
public his position sometime to.

only 10 despite the fact that the
sun was out.
The sun thawed out the snow
somewhat, but when the mercury
started to drop again last night,
streets and sidewalks again were
coated with ice, imperiling pedeS-
trans and drivers.
Traffic In Snarl
One Of the worst traffic jams
ever experienced here occurred
during the rush hours this morn
ing as an aftermath Of the storm
and belated attempts to clear
away snow and ice.
CWA workers were sent to Du-
pont Circle before the morning
traffic rush started, and as they
worked on the inner side of the
circle, traffic was forced to the
outer rim, making a bottle neck
as the rush Of cars down MaSsa-
chuSettS and Connecticut avenues
started.
Additional traffic policemen
were rushed to the scene as hun
dredS Of cars were hopeleSsly tan
gled in the streets leading to the
circle.
Little progress has been made
in removing the snow despite bit
ing criticisms launched at the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Only 2,640 CWA workers were
placed on the snow removal job
instead of the 10000 Engineer
Commissioner GotwalS hoped
would be employed.
Various reasons were advanced
for the employment Of only the
relatively small number of men.
Capt. Howard Clark, Assistant
Engineer Commissioner, said the
District did not have enough
equipment to supply all the men.
Other reasons advanced were
that the CWA would not let the
men off regular projects, and that
many Of the men refused to take
the snow shoveling jobs at As
cents an hour.
Streets impossible
Most Of the streets in the town
area were cleared away, but the
rest of the city was in a deplor-
able condition. Thousands of
cars were still blocked to the curb
by the drifted snow which has
frozen solid.
Many streets remained impas-
sable. Other streets were so
rough with the frozen drifts that
automobiles had broken springs
in trying to cross them. Many
bus lines had been rerouted be-
cause Of impossible streets.
The American Automobile AsSo-
citation voiced criticism of the
Slowness with which the snow and
ice was being removed.
The Potomac River was frozen
over again today.
