Paw Injustices

CONGRESS can't seem to get around to dealing
u comprehensively with the subject of Government
onones' salaries vet it is being forced by the urgen
cies of the situation to dole out piecemea and made
quate relief.
The latest of these grudging concessions to decent
treatment of the Governments workers comes from the
House Appropriations Committee in approving sixty
doarayear increase for custodia employees OF the In
terror Department.
Previously increases for similar employees in few
other departments had been approved by the Senate
and House in other appropriation bills.
Judging from these instances large number OF Con-
gressmen recognize the inherent justice IN the demand
that Congress take up and consider the McCarranC Con-
nerv bills providing for dealing ntelgenty with the
whole problem of salaries of Government personnel.
The indications of the sentiment of Congress given
nv the treatment of cusodia employees in the various
departments makes the delay in considering the pay
revision proposal utterly incomprehenslble.
There isn't any doubt that the few employees affected
bv the increases granted in the appropriation bills are
fulv deserving of the raises provided for them.
In fact, they probably, under the present economic
conditions deserve even larger increases than have
been granted.
Similarly, the larger group of employees who would
be affected by the McCarran Connery bill deserve IN
creases as provided in that measure
And the large number of employees in the higher
brackets but not covered in the McCarranC onnery BILL
likewise deserve the increases proposed for them In
the report of the Brownow committee on reorganlza
ton of the executive department.
THE CONTINUING ECONOMIC ADVANCEMENT
OF WORKERS IN PRIVATE EMPLOY BRINGS OUT
CLEARLY THE INJUSTICE OF THE GOVERN
MENT's FAILURE TO CONSIDER THE ECONOMIC
PLIGHT OF ITS OWN EMPLOYEES.
It has not been backward in demanding improve
ment of wages and working conditions in private
business.
Rather it has stood in the forefront of the ranks in
sstng on such treatment has used coercion and prom
ises without stint private employers who wanted to
hold back.
While under its guidance the trend toward better pay
and shorter hours in private business has gone steadily
upward the Government has refused to put its own
house in order.
The McCarran Connery bill is before the Senate and
House committees on the Civil Service.
These committees will be recreant to their duty if
they fail to hold hearings on the bill and place it be-
fore their respective houses in the immediate future.
They will be inviting reversal Of the private en-
poyers' treatment of their employees they fail to ad
vance the standard of working conditions in the Gov
eminent service at this session Of Congress.

STRONG DEMAND
BOOSTS COTTON
Price Rise Turns Attention
to Sharp Increase in
U. S. Consumption.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 9-The up
swing in prices Of raw cotton the last
fortnight, lifting the March delivery
above IA cents a pound, has turned
attention in financial circles to big
increase in home consumption of the
staple
Since last Summer mills have
acquired voracious appetite for the
South's chief agricultural product.
January use in the United States
established a record for the month.
In rush to fill a heavy accumulation
Of orders, mills have been consuming
the fiber at the rate Of more than
100000 bales a month. Cotton
statisticians see a good chance for q
yearly consumption record since
another sweeping wave of cloth de-
mand rolled into Worth street last
week.
Even more significant, in the eyes
of many, is the accent it throws on
divergent trends of home and foreign
use of American cotton.
Loses Ground Abroad.
Although still Uncle Sans No.
product in the world market, cotton
has lost ground from an export stand
point compared with pre-depression
years.
Broadening demand this season has
come entirely from home sources
Whereas in other years the bulk OF
the crop was sold abroad, latest figures
indicate home consumption this sea-
son may approximate, if not surpass
exports.
New York Cotton Exchange figures
tell the story. They show only mod
crate increase in total world use OF
American cotton for the season from
August / to the end of January. The
total was 6,3l9,000 bales, compared
with 6,148,000 in the comparable
period Of the previous season.
Until a recent squirt, shipments
abroad were running 100000 to 600,-
900 bales behind last year and well
under exports a few years ago.
Mill Takings Soar.
But deliveries to mills in the United
States climbed steeply Forwarding
to domestic users through last week
the exchange reported, amounted tc
5,731 900. against 4l53,000 in the
same period Of the previous season
Meanwhile. use of foreign growths
has increased, fed by larger planting:
in South America and Asia.
With world demand for all cottor
around record levels consumption oI
foreign growths for the season to the
end of January totaled 8,27l 900 bales
The trend has been upward the last
| few years.
Whether this represents longtime
shift remains to be seen. Many cot
ton men believe it does, considering
efforts of Brazil, Russia and Other
countries to increase output and The
cut in acreage in the United States

LEAD IS BOOSTED
S. A TON MORE
Export Copper Continues
Climb at Equivalent of
1886 Cents.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March ga boost Of
$5 ton in the price Of lead was an
nounced today by principal producers
following similar increase yesterday.
At the same time reports in trade
circles indicated sales of No. heavy
melting steel scrap had been made
at Pittsburgh at $22.50 a ton, the
highest recorded sale price in IA years.
Following closing Of the deal the trade
was said to have generally raised quo
tations. The previous price was $22.
The new price for lead is 7.50 cents
q pound New York, and 7.35 cents
East st. Louis.
At the same time the speculative
fever which has been manifest in nom
ferrous metals, especially in foreign
markets, continued as copper for ex-
port rose to the equivalent of 1886
cents a pound from as low as 16.40
cents Monday.
The European ornaments race Is
credited by trade experts with causing
the wave Of buying, some of it for
actual metal to convert into arms,
but much Of it by spectators hoping
to profit from this extraordinary call
for metals.
The domestic quotation for the red
metal held at 1914 cents a pound,
to which it was raised yesterday from
the l5-cent level, in effect since late
February.
