.Dirksen Calls Farley
Today on Pay Raises
For District Workers
Leaders of Both Houses
Will Discuss Legislative
Problems Involved
By Harold B. Rogers

Chairman Dirksen of the House
District Committee scheduled a
conference OF House and Senate
District leade Neor late today in
an effort to solve the legislative
problem of granting cost-of-liv-
ing pay raises to District govern
ment workers.
Mr.. Dirksen made this announce
ment Informally after conferring on
the Senate floor with Senator Cain
Republican, of Washington, Chair
man of the Senate District Commit
tee on Fiscal Affairs.
Mr.. Dirksen sent word to report
ers that while there were no con-
clusions as the results of his talk
with Senator Cain, there will be
discussion of the whole problem
about pm. today.
Loan Bill Meeting Postponed.
The meeting of the House District
Committee which had been called
by Mr.. Dirksen for this morning tc
consider his bill for a Federal loan
to the District to meet the cost OF
city government workers pay raises
was postponed. This was done, he
explained, to make way for confer
ences with House and Senate lead
ers on the whole problem.
The postponement followed strong
opposition to the Dirksen bill from
Chairmen Bates and Cain of the
House and Senate, District sub.
committees on fiscal affairs.
The key District leaders in Con-
gress. had branded the proposal
for a Federal loan to the city as
unsound financing, which would
create a precedent harmful to the
municipality and its workers.
City employees were denied pay
raise granted to Federal employees
because the House-passed District
revenue bill for a. sales tax and high
level income tax to finance city
raises was stymied in the Senate.
The Dirksen bill would authorize
the District Commissioners to bor-
row without interest from the
United States Treasury sufficient
funds to carry pay increases for city
workers. Teachers and school offi-
cials would receive 5000, and all
other city workers $3.50 for this fiscal
year only, from July ! this year to
June 80, 1949.
Senator Cain and Mr.. Bates. while
strongly opposing the principle OF
borrowing for pay raises. emphasized
that the city workers problem
should be brought up the first thing
