REGISTER REVEALS
RAISES IN U.S.PAY
Cost of Maintaining Person.
al Staff at White House
Increases.

The Ofhcial Register Of the United
States made its annual bow yester-
day. when the 1887 edition was circu-
lated in the Government establish
ments, thereby giving an opportunity
to see who received pay raises in the
last year.
1t required I'll pages to list the Of
ficials in the executive branch of the
Government, as compared to 1865 in
1886, and more than a quarter Of the
space was devoted to the Agriculture
Department, which covered 45la pages.
The cost of maintaining the per.
sonal staff at the White House was
shown to have advanced from SIS, 200
to $56,600, although the positions were
cut from nine to eight. The abolition
was an assistant to the secretary to
the President at $4,000. The three
secretaries-as previously announced
advanced from $500 to $4,000,
and Miss Marguerite A. LIE Hand, pri-
vate secretary to the President, and
Mrs. Malvina Thompson Schneider,
from $4,000 to $4,000.
A thriving pay roll was disclosed
in the ONCE Of the co-ordinator for
industrial cooperation. The co-or-
dinator is Senator George L. Berry,
Democrat, of Tennessee. He serves
without pay but has seven aides. These
include: Director Of information,
$4,000; assistant co-ordinator for in
dustry, $4,000; assistant co-ordinator
for labor, $4,000; technical aide.
$4,000; senior administrative officer
and chief clerk. $500; junior admin
istrative assistant, $4,000, and secre-
tary to co-ordinator, $4,000, for a to-
tai Of $37,500.
Many promotions were reflected by
a comparison with the 1886 Register.
indicating generally a tendency to
raise underofficials to the maximum
salary bracket of their grades.
The cabinet oficers and J. F. T.
O'Connor. controller Of the Treasury,
continue to hold the top salary rungs
at $4,000 each.

eauded even more land than her 1887
map stamp. And so it went until
the peace was patched up in 1885.
Then there was that Argentine
stamp in 1896 which pictured a map
OF South America and caused a furore
by reasserting the old Argentine claim
to Britain's Falkland Islands (Islas
Malvinas' to the Argentines). In

when the stamp was withdrawn and
reissued few months later, but with
the Falklands still colored like the

settled until 1885
Next came the Gran Chaco issues
OF Bolivia and Paraguay. In 1927
Paraguay started off with a map
stamp (A-49) which included the
'Chaco Paraguayo' in her territory.
Bolivia replied next year with one

'Chaco Boliviano' and put it inside
Bolivia's border.

countries won their independence

two more map stamps (A-7D in 1881
and whole set (A-79) in 1885. One
OF the 1885 issues is illustrated.
