Further developments on the Nc
Carran Government pay increase bill
Will await report from the Civil
Service Commission, to which the
measure was referred for study, Chair
man Bulow of the Senate Civil Service
Committee, said yesterday.
Meanwhile. there we're some indica-
tions that the separate question Of
extending the merit system of ap-
polntment is more likely to develop
as part of the Federal reorganization
program than as separate legislation.
Robinson Gives Views.
Senate Majority Leader Robinson of
Arkansas expressed the view yester-
day, however, that any discussion OF
salary changes should be kept inde-
pendent of the reorganization study.
Although the report of the Presidents
Reorganization Committee suggested
better salaries in key positions at the
top, Senator Robinson made known
several days ago his belief it would
be lnopportune to couple salary IN
creaseS for officers of the Government
with reorganization. He also said at
that time that If salary increases are
to be made, he thought those who now
receive less than living wage are en-
titled to first consideration.
The McCarran pay bill proposes
$1,000 as minimum wage for full
time adult employees of the Govern
ment, thereby benefiting most of those

Employees Visit Capitol.
A delegation of members of the
United Government Employees, Inc,
composed of those in the lower brack-
cts, visited the Capitol yesterday aft
ernoon to express their Endorsement of
the McCarran bill to members of the
Senate Civil Service Committee.
They presented to Chairman Bulow
and other committee members copies
of resolutions adopted at meeting
OF the organization Friday night in
the Garnet-Patterson School.
Edgar G. Brown, president of the
organization. acted as spokesman of
the delegation. Senator Bulow re-
iterated his previously expressed in
terest in helping those receiving the
lower salaries. The text of the reso-
lutions commended Senator McCar-
ran, Democrat. of Nevada, for spon-
soring pay adjustment in the lower
grades.

ARIZ. COPPER
WORKERS GET
WAGE BOOST

PHOENIX, Ariz., April 1. U.H-
More than 10000 Arizona copper
workers will receive their fourth
ten per cent pay increase since
September 81 of last year.
The raise extended to all Arizona
copper mining districts, apparently
by agreement among the major
producers.
P. G.. Beckett, vice president of
the states largest producer, the
Phelps Dodge company at Doug
las, expressed concern over the ma
ture of the present copper boom,
which today carried export metal
to above II cents on the New York
market.
"The question may be asked, how
much of the increase is because
of unpredictable armament de-
mandS and speculation, which may
collapse at any time" he suggested,
but said the immediate future of the
industry was bright.
New wage scales established in
the wake of the skyrocketing mar
ket are $500 per day for the low
est paid top workers; minimum
underground pay. $5.40 machine
men, $50; timbermen, $780, jig
gers, $6.40.
Phelps Dodge at Bisbee, Doug

pay of approximately 5000 work.

Glass lashed the court plan
Monday night in speech that
Robinson said was destroyed" by
its bitterness.
The majority leader, veteran of
countless congressional battles un-
der the New Deal, turned back
the pages of the congressional
record to 1880 to assert that both
Borah and Glass in opposing con-
firmation of Chief Justice Hughes
had sought supreme court per-
sonnel that would reflect their
economic views"
He asserted that President Taft,
in campaigning for the election
of Warren G.. Harding, was mo-
tivated by his desire to pack the
court with conservatives and reac-
tionaries."
He cited the words of Associate
Justice James c. McReynolds in
the minority gold clause case de-
cision as evidence that nowhere
in legal literature does a judge
stand more emphatically condemn
ed by his own test as sports
man."
McReynolds, at recent infor-
NAL dinner, said that losers in
court cases should be good sports
men," In the gold clause case,
where his was the only dissent
ing vote, the justice said that "the
constitution is gone"
"On the very day that Sen. Glass
was denouncing the program in
such eXtravagant language, the
supreme court itself proved that
the president is right by COM
pletely reversing its stand on the
subject of minimum wage legis-
lation."

The "throw 'em out" decIara-

people read the 1888 Republic
can platform than any other
similar document ever pub

their enthusiasm was beyond

perfect, and they couldn't
have been in better form If
they had used a shotgun in

today and you will have a
clear picture of the present
campaign to date. Unless the
Republicans show more fight
ing form, and better organiza-
ton politics, they'll suffer the
same fate as the Democrats
experienced in 1888. The fact
that they have waited this
late to decide on a Mayoralty

helped their cause, and the
refusal Of score of prospec-

battle has not been to their
advantage.

Part 1.


III view OF the fact that the
1ootn anniversary of the settle
1Aent OF that part of Maryland,
wnlcn is now Washington county,
Is u be celebrated this year, it is
interesting to note somewhat of
the character and derivation of
the first settlers of Maryland. At
this time, it. is of particular inter-
esq to us of Washington county.
The first settlers were the Eng
lish from St. Mary's County, and
the outlaw Claybourne settlement
on Kent Island. There was also
Puritan settlement on the Sew
ern River in early days, but the
writer cannot yet find any from
there who came early to Washing
ton County. Those who came
were a mixture of religious belief.
Some were Catholics, others An
glicans and French Protestants.
The Huguenot element came to
Maryland after the edict of Nantes
i'll 1886. These were people of
very high minded extraction, and
they came to America chiefly to
escape the religious unrest at
home. The wars between the
Puritans and the Cavaliers bore
heavily upon the Catholic element
of the English people. The Cal
verts, the founders of Maryland,
being Catholic, desired land in
which they could worship God as
they thought best without let or
hinderance, but federation was one
of the foundation principles of the
Province.
1t was great wonder that our
State could be founded upon a
spirit of liberation, when at that
time intolerance was rampant.
The Religious sects each believed
that their own way was the right
way, and were ready at any time
to prosecute any one thinking
otherwise. At this time three
great names stand out most prom
inentIy as exponents of liberation
and it is largely through their in
fluence and teaching that this
wonderful principle in government
was tried out in our State. These
three representing the three most
prominent forms of Faith in Eng
land at this time were, Edwin
Sandys, an Anglican, son of the
Archbishop of York, and one of
the founders of Virginia. The
second was John Robinson, Puri-
tan preacher, who, in Holland,
where the Puritans fled before
coming to America, developed lib
eral views in advance Of his breth-
rem and in opposition to their
thought and practice. The third
and not the least was George Cal
vert, who always appears to have
been inclined to federation.
And so many of the Cavalier or
Anglican party, while Cromwell
was in the ascendency in England.

came to Maryland as well as Vir,
ginia. Before the accession of
Cromwell, and after the Restora-
zion under Charles Second, the
Puritans came to America and
settled in Massachusetts principal
ly but some of them came to
Maryland on account of the pub
lished principle of federation.
The German element of our peo-
pie came directly from Pennsyl-
vania, but formerly from that
large strip of country lying be-
tween France and Germany, and
which has been battle ground
for thousands of years between
the rival Gallo and Teutonic
races.
These were the best citizens of
the respective countries from
which they came. The very cream
of high-minded citizenship who re
belled at oppression. The writer
is descended from all these, as
likewise are most representatives
of the old families among us who
have come down from the earliest
times.
1t is extremely Interesting to
note at this point that the Cava-
liers who settled in Virginia and
Maryland during this period came
mostly because they could not
stand to endure the supremacy of
the Puritans in England. And
that the Puritans who settled in
Massachusetts and elsewhere in
America during the earlier and
latter part of this period came to
America and left their homes in
England because they could not
endure the supremacy of the
Cavalier Party, is an established
fact. After many years in free
America those who had in their
homeland been deadly enemies,
when the King of that country,
which they left attempted to OPP
press them, became reconciled to
each other, and made common
cause against that King, and
fought side by side for liberty in
the Revolutionary War. Leaders
on the respective sides were such
men as John Hancock and Samuel
Adams representing the Puritans
and George Washington and
Thomas Jefferson representing
the Cavaliers.
With such elements entering
into the composition of the citi-
zenship of our section of our State
it is no wonder that during all the
hardships of settlement days and
years the people kept their integ-
rity, lived honorable lives, cult
waited gentle habits, promoted ed
ucation and culture, supported re-
ligious institutions, and emerged
at this day, l am proud to say
and think, as high in the elements
of true civilization as any COM
munity anywhere.
