Federal Pay Measure
Granting 1496 Raise
Awaits Signature
By Joseph Young

President Truman's signature
was all that was needed today
to put into law the Federal pay
bill granting a IA per cent wage
increase to approximately 1,O00,-
600 classified Government en-
ployes, of whom nearly 100000
work in Washington.
The House and Senate late yester-
day approved the conferees' report
speedily and the measure was sent
to the White House. 1t was con-
sidered certain that Mr.. Truman
would sign the bill, since he took
the lead months ago in urging that
Congress pass adequate pay raises
for Government workers.
While it had been expected the
House would act on the bill yester-
day, the Senate's action in taking
up the measure only two hours after
the House had sent it over came as
something of surprise.
The measure, which provides a
$3.50 guarantee to all Federal en-
ployes making less than $1,000 a
year, was passed unanimously by
both houses, although some men,
bers complained lower-income en-
ployes should have been given a
bigger percentage of the raise. The
bill will become effective July /.
Senator LANCER, Republican, Of
North Dakota, the only conferee
who did not sign the report on the
pay bill, voted for the measure when
it came up for final Senate action.
Before the Senate voted, Senator
LANCER declared: I'm going to vote
for it, but I want it clearly under
stood that it is insufficient to take
care of the lower Income group of
Federal employees"
Referring to Labor Depart
ment estimate that an unmarried
girl needed at least 1920 a year to
maintain an .dequate living stand
ard, Senator LANCER asserted that a
vast number of Federal employees
make less than this sum. They're
the ones who need the raises most"
he declared. He added that the
original House bill granting fiat
$400 wage increases to all Govern
ment workers should have been
adopted.
Good Bill, Says Downey.
Answering this argument, Chair
man Downey of the Senate Civil
Service Committee said the bill was
not perfect, but added that it was
a surprisingly good one.
Federal employees in the lower
categories are now substantially
better paid than those in COMPARE
BILE positions in private industry"
he said.
During House debate, Chairman
Randolph of the House Civil Serv-
ice Committee told his colleagues
IS per cent of the increased cost of
the measure will be absorbed by the
reduction in Federal personnel dur
Ing the next year.
The personnel ceiling contained in
the bill provides for a gradual drop
from the present 100000 employees
to approximately 100000 by July
!, 1947.
$4,000 Limit Retained.
Here is how Government employees
will fare under the bill

Lehmon Advises
Stick TO Dems''

LAKE PLACID, N. Y. Sept.
"a (LPA)-The gains organized
labor made under the late Pres
ident Franklin d. Roosevelt can
be preserved only if labor sticks
with the Democratic Party, for
mer Gov. Herbert H. Lehman
told the state CIO convention
here last week.
Lehman addressed the LOO
d e | e 6 tes representing more
than 100000 CIO members in
the state as candidate for the
U. S. Senate already endorsed
by the Democratic, American
Labor and Liberal parties. He
was given unanimous endorse
ment by the convention.
Warning against current eff
forts to wreck or amend present
labor laws, Lehman assailed the
reactionary role of the Republi-
can P arty "Our Republican
friends" he said, never seem
to like labor as much from early
in November to the middle of
September as they do from the
middle of September to the first
Tuesday of November. Their ar
dor always seems to wax for a
part of the autumn and then
wane for the rest of the year
or two years or four years"
He called for higher minimum
wage, a national health program
and an anti-discrimination law.

that radio or washing machine
you've saved your hard-earned
money for, remember that the
price you're soaked for it is a
"Wherry" price, and when you
say it's very high you're not

The amendment to the Price

This money Is right out of our

enjoying the highest profits and
the biggest dollar business in
their history.
Senator Kenneth Wherry (R.,
Nebr, proposed the amendment
which increases the prices
that retailers can charge for
various products by restoring
the percentage markup they had
in effect on these products on
March 81, 1916.
The first round of Wherry
prices has resulted so far in
