1,2Q0|N TREASURY.
WIN PAY DISPUTE
Wage Payment Assured as
Senate O. KS Supply
Bill Report.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

The long battle to provide the pay
Of 1900 Treasury employees who bave
been working without compensation
since December ! ended today In
favor of the workers when the Senate
adopted the conference report on the
1896 Treasury-Post Office appropria-
ton bill.
The final agreement means that all
of the employees will get the money
due them from December to date, and
the three or four hundred whose
Civil Service status is still being ques-
toned will be allowed to retain their
Jobs if they pass o non-competive
examination between now and May Is.
House Changes Accepted.
Final action came when Chairman
Glass of the Senate Appropriations
Committee asked the Senate today to
accept House changes in several Sen
ate amendments. His request was
granted without debate. Senator Nc
Kellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, who
originally challenged the civil service
status of about 700 former prohibition
agents last year, made no objection to
adoption of the conference report.
The action Of Congress last year was
intended only to cut of the pay OF
these former prohibition agents, now
working in the alcohol tax unit. un-
less they could pass new examina-
ton. It was later found. however, to
affect about 500 other employees.
Some of the alcohol tax unit men
passed q new examination last Fall,
but others either did not take the
test or failed to pass. Those who did
not pass that examination are the
ones who must now take q new test.
but today's agreement enables them
to have a non competitive test, which
will give appropriate weight to their
experience and prior service.
$l,385,00O Is Involved.
The amount involved In the over
due pay Of the workers is approxi-
mately $1,385,O0 The measure is
now ready to 60 to the President for
his signature and leaves the Civil
Service Commission one week In which
to arrange for the new examination.
For all expenses Of the Treasury and
Post Office Departments for next
year, the bill carries approximately
5000, ,000, 900.
Senator Glass said the conference
report was delayed to see If the Bud
get Bureau was planning to submit
an estimate for q 100000 Senate
increase in the foreign mail appro-
priation, which the House disagreed
to. The estimate did not arrive, how
ever, and it was decided to 60 ahead
with the passage of this bill. The
foreign mail item could be considered
later in a deficiency bill.

Let's Face the Wind

When an airplane takes off it al
ways faces the wind. The resistance
furnished by the wind calls for
more power to be put forth by the
plants engines and as a result lifts
the plane higher and more rapidly.
How like life. After all it is the
obstacles and the resistance that
confronts man that call upon him
to put forth more effort and there
by enables him to rise higher and
to accomplish more The more diff
ffcult the lessons at school the more
training the students receives who
masters them. The more trials and
obstacles and opposition a man en-
counters and overcomes the more
sure and self reliant and strong he
is and the better prepared he is for
the next opposition. AS the airplane
pilot mounts into the air his hori-
xon becomes wider and wider and
when he reaches his elevation q
new scene lays spread before him on
all sides. He has new perspective
of the world about him, q larger,
broader view. In the same measure

him in this life and by perseverance
and diligence and sincere efforts

own faults, improves his mind and

plane of living. He makes for him.
self new horizons and new out
look upon life. He creates for him
self a new world. with new con-
facts, new experiences, new oppor-
tunities, larger possibilities. The
aviator must return to the earth
and to old scenes when his fuel
tank become empty, but the man
who prepares himself by overcoming
the obstacles of life and the world
need never return to his old plane
Of living. He may select the plane
at which he prefers to live and
hold his place there as long as he
desires.
