June 6 D. {. Payday
May Be Last Until
Bill Provides Funds

June 6 may be the last payday
of this fiscal year for District
government workers unless new
funds are made available in time
by Congress in the pending de-
1ciency bill.
This was estimated today by
District Auditor A. r. Piklerton
as he examined the threat of pay
less pay days, which already has
begun to hit some government
employees.
The city is running short of
money for payrolls because it has
been paying workers on the in
creased salary scale ordered by
Congress. There will not be
enough to carry salaries through
the end Of this fiscal year ending
June 80, until Congress enacts
the deficiency measure.
The emergency money bill may
not reach the House floor for ac-
ton until sometime week after
next, according to present pros
poets. Thousands of workers may
have to wait until it becomes law.
Early Threat to $4,000.
Unless the new money is avail
able in time, Auditor Pilkerton
said, about $4,000 employees of the
District will not get pay checks for
work done after May %. There
are an estimated additional 5000
who will get pay for two weeks
more. Then $4,000 city workers
will not get any pay until the
deficiency bill becomes law.
In addition to employees on the
civil payroll, policemen and fire.
men also will have payless pay
days. There is some doubt that
the police and fire payro1ls can
be paid for the last two weeks of
May, although there is enough
money for the first two weeks.
The last two weeks payroll ordi-
narily would be paid June 3. This
will mean that 1924 policemen
and 915 f1remen will go payless
on June 3.
Also affected by the shortage
are 1850 on police retirement and
widow pensions. and $50 on Fire
Department retirement and pen
sion rolls.
Today also marks the end of a
pay period for 4.464 employees in
some city departments that are
shorter of funds than others.
They are due for their last pay
check May %.
Per Diem Employees.
One of the hardest hit depart
ments is the division of SANTA
ton, which sweeps the streets,
and gathers trash. garbage and
ashes. William Xanten, Superin-
tendent of the division, has asked
Budget Officer Walter Fowler if
he can use some of the unex-
pended appropriation to pay sal
aries.
He has big payroll of per
diem employees, who, he says, will
have difficulty getting credit if
they are not paid. He said that
if and when his appropriation
money runs. out, he will cut off
the paychecks for both per diem
and classified employees of his de-
partment.
If he is allowed to use funds
appropriated for other purposes
than salaries in his division, he
said he would have funds to pay
all employees on May 81 for the
work period ending May "a. His
available money now is only suf-
ficient to pay per diem employees
for the period which ended last
Wednesday and which is payable
next Wednesday. He says he has
enough money to pay classified
employees until May %.

Dunbar sang of our radiant
hopes to coax the Promised Land

the healing of all racial malad-
iustments.
The black mans Slavery in
America is so destitute of thrill
ing events, heroic wars and great
sires. that it reflects well on Dun
bar that he was able to use the
trivial humdrum experiences in
the life of the black race, and
treat them so artistically that
they are among Americas liter

heroes of whom he could proudly
sing, great battles which his pen
could make radiant in the annals
Of history.
"How verse may build a

While he had humber themes
and a dialect held in contempt,
like Burns he is near the heart
