House Pay Raise Foes
Lose Opening Battle
For Reconsideration

Opponents of the $2,500-a-year
expense allowance for members of
the House today lost the first round
In their fight to reopen the issue,
when the Rules Committee granted
special rule which, If adopted In
the House, will send the legislative
appropriation bill to the White
House without further change.
| Representatives Taber, Republican,
Of New York, and Taryer, Democrat,
of Georgia, led the unsuccessful fight
for rule that would return the bill
to the Appropriations Committee
for further consideration Of the
House expense item or any Of the
increases the Senate made in Senate
operating expenses.
Appropriation Group Asks for Rule.
Representative O'Neal, Democrat
OF Kentucky, in charge of the legis-
latiye bill, said the Appropriations
Committee instructed him to ask for
rule that would wind up the bill
without further change. He pointed
out that the $2,500 allowance to
House members has been adopted
by both branches, and is no longer
in dispute. Mr.. ONeal said that
any one who disagrees with the
expense allowance has q remedy by
bringing in separate resolution
to repeal 1t.
Mr.. Tarver revealed that when
the House Appropriations Commit
tee discussed the problem last week
it first voted, 13 to IL, In favor Of a
rule under which the $4,000 ex-
pense item could be reopened and
stricken from the bill. At that point,
he said, the committee adjourned
until the next day, when 1t re-
versed itself and voted, II to Is, in
favor of a rule sending the bill to
the White House.
There was a brief verbal flareup
when Representative Brown, Re-
publican, of Ohio asked Mr.. Tarver
II he would vote for an amendment
under which members Of Congress
could not hire any one closer than
third cousin
Says Question Aimed ut Son.
Mr.. Tarver said he construed the
question as aimed at the fact that
his son worked for him. Mr.. Tarver
declared that his son is a university
graduate, has been working for him
for II years and that he is willing
to have that subject Investigated
at any time.
Earlier in the hearing, Mr. Brown
told the Rules Committee that as
he understood the situation both the
House and Senate provided expense
funds for their members, but In
different ways. While the House
provided for lump sum of $2,500
a year, he said the Senate voted its
members long-distance telephone al
lowances averaging about 81. $3.50 plus
certain contingent fund items.
If the House adopts today's rule,
the expense allowance for House
members will go to the White House
unchanged. The only course then
open to opponents will be to intro
duce a separate repeal issue.

Army Officer Awarded
For Breoking PhillY
Anti-NeCro Strike

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
Major General Philip Hayes has
been awarded the Legion of Merit
for superior performance of duty"
as the War Department representa-
tive in the seizure and control of
the Philadelphia Transportation
Company due to a strike of en-
ployees against upgrading, train
ing and employment of Negro men
as street car operators, the War
Department announced Tuesday.
The Army took control of the
Philadelphia transit system on
August 3, 1914, after 5000 PIC
employees struck. vowing never to
return to work unless the company
refused to continue the training
of Negro men as trolley operators.
When Gen. Hayes returned the
transit system to the company on
August II, 1914, all but a handful
of employees were back at work,
seven Negroes whose training had
been interrupted by the strike were
on the cars, all vehicles were run
ming on schedule, war production
and civilian business were normal,
taprooms and liquor stores were
open and all effects of the strike,
on the surface at least, had been
eliminated.

Tomorrow" by Estelle Massey Rid
die and Josephine Nelson, staff
members of the National Nursing
Council for War Service, which will
be printed in the August issue of
the American Journal of Nursing.
"A recent survey shows that
rs voluntary hospitals in New
York City that never before, so
far as is known, had done so,
now employ Negro nurses on
their staff" the article continues.
Whereas before the war only
four of the hospitals in the city's
Department of Hospitals en-
ployed Negro nurses, they now
all do. The total is over one
thousand. While probably in
creases have not been as great
prOportiOnally in other areas,

ment is nationwide"

dents now enrolled in schools of

nursing-2,O0O of them members of
the U. S. Cadet Nurse Corps
represent a 1876 per cent increase
over 1889, the article states. Mixed
schools admitting Negroes have in
creased from a prewar IA to 80.
Breaking down racial barriers in
existing schools is the most hope
full means to greater educational
opportunities for Negroes, the
authors believe, since the 80 schools
set up primarily for colored stu
dents usually cannot expand be-
cause of housing and clinical limita-
tons. One small school that can
admit only 25 students at a time
had 800 applicants for one class.
Conference Called
To mobilize efforts to deal with
some of the basic problems, the
National Nursing Council called a
Conference on Nursing Education
at billiard University, New Orleans,
December and 2, 1914, to which
were invited presidents and ad-
ministrative deans of Negro col
leges.
Results in some areas were
gratifying indeed" the Journal
article relates. Among the
presidents who evinced interest
in nursing was DIR. G. L. Harri-
son of LangstOn University in
Oklahoma. A few weeks after
the conference, he requested con-
sultative service from the COun-
Gil, regarding means of develop
ing facilities for the education
of Negro nurses in his state. The
cOnsultant spoke before the APP
preparations Committee of the
State Legislature. Subsequently,
the Legislature appropriated
100000 for nursing education
facilities for Negroes in Okla
hOma."
Definite Progress
Recent definite progress made by
Negro nurses is due largely to war
pressures and to the coordinated
efforts for betterment centering in
the National Nursing Council, the
article says.
"There is no way of knowing
exactly how many Negro nurses
the nation needs" the article sums
up it's thesis, land how many it
could and would keep employed
which are horses of very different
colors, indeed. The 5000 regis
tered Negro nurses in the United
States constitute only 90 per cent
of the total nurses in the nation,
as compared with 10 per cent of
the population that is Negro"
