Studied for DC.
By House Unit
By DON S. WARREN

The House Appropriations
Committee is expected to act
soon on requests from District
officials to add about $1S million
to the District budget for the
year beginning July !, one i'm
portant item being that to raise
the Metropolitan Police force to
1850 men.
Authorization for this increase
Of some 228 extra men was APP
proved by Congress recently in
answer to complaints Of an in
crease in q number Of yokings,
pocketbook snatchings and other
crimes against law abiding
citizens.
At the closed House hearings
on the supplemental budget, Dis
trict officials were questioned
closely as to how the men would
be employed. Police Chief Rob-
ert v. Murray said he had no
worry about being able to en-
ploy the extra men and assured
the House subcommittee, headed
by Representative Rabout, DEM
ocrat Of Michigan, that all of
the extra men would be assigned
10 foot patrol duty.
Attention on HOspitaI
The subcommittee also turned
its attention to the problems of
the District General Hospital.
while considering the supple
mental request. The document
calls for $136,OOO to increase the
salaries Of interns and resident
physicians for the District Cen
eral Hospital and $4,000 for a
survey Of its hospital facilities.
Chairman Rabaut said he
wanted a study of the hospitals
problems to be made by a mem
Der of the staff of the House
Appropriations Committee.
Declaring that he was inter-
ested in the problems Of the sick
and the poor. Chairman Rabaut
assured DR.. Frederick C. Heath,
Deputy Public Health Director.
that the subcommittee proposed
to investigate the whole hospi-
tai problem thoroughly.
School Items Considered
!. The Rabaut subcommittee al
so considered, presumably ia
vorably, some items for the pub
lie schools.
Some of these deal with pro-
posed increases in pay for
teachers in the evening and
summer classes, amounting to
$l55,000 for the past fiscal year
and a like amount for the fiscal
year beginning July /. This
would be in keeping with a pay
raise already granted to teachers
in the regular school system.
The supplemental bill also pro-
vides for several capital i'm
provements in the public schools,
the immediate cost amounting to
$4,000.
- Several Additions
These improvements would in
clude an addition to the Ana
costa Senior High School, at
Sixteenth and r streets Sc; an
addition to the La Sale Elemen-
tary School, Sixth street and
Riggs road Me-. and an addition
to the Garfield Elementary
School, Twenty-fifth street and

Our union has been handed "Take or Ieave it ultima
tn by the Steel Industry Because the daily life of every
American may be affected by its consequences let me
GnSuer feOv questions.
WHAT ARE THE TERMS OFTHE "TAKEI 1T LEAVE
1T" OFFER?
First OF all they offer ake-home-pay increase of
nckelan-hour With that we must accept the ndustrys
demand for contract which provides less bene
fits each than have negotiated in the past from
year to year. Also the industry would require each
worker to contribute one and half cents per hour
more for insurance One paid holiday is offered but not
until 1857. An additional halfweek of vacation for a
minority of Workersbut not until 1858 One penny an
hour offered for work the late shiftsbu not
until 1858 Instead of double time for Sunday work.
which general practice in American industry they
offer eighty cents extra for Sunday workout not until
July 1859 Believe not retiring Steeworker of
thirty years service, they offer in 1887 pension not
quite equal to pensions being paid in the Can
Industry
CAN THE STEEL INDUSTRY AFFORD THE BENEFITS
WE ASK?
The industry attitude surely cannot be due to it's fna
ca position Let's take look at the profits in steel for
1855 After taxes the profit of the steel industry was
over BILLION DOLLARS for the year. This amounts
$21OOOOOOO every week of the year Or over OO
10000 every day of the year Remember, after taxes
profits hit an all time high
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-06-22

Why DUES THE INDUSTRY FAIL To CONSIDEK
;REATER OUTPUT PER-EMPLOYEE?
Even the Steel Companies do not deny the validity of
the governments figures which reveal year by year
growth in the form of greater production per employee
Because of his consistent growth in production higher
wages and salaries not luxury They are neces-
sty. Without rising earnings people cannot buy in
creased quantities of goods If the American people
not buy what is produced, the outcome is obvious 1t is
precisely to avoid this situation which we have faced in
the past that steady rise in wages is an absolute neces
sy we are to keep nation prosperous In the Steel
Industry last year, the rise in productivity broke all
previous records twas startling II per cent For every
hundred tons of steel produced by the average Steel
worker in 1854 he produced hundred and eleven tons
in 1855 This is in sharp contrast to the Steel Indusrs
shameful offer of five cent increase in net wages or
about per cent
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-06-22
WHAT is THE ANSWER?

do not know why the industry chooses to reward it's
employees record-breakng production with trifling
wage Offer substandard contract and nsstence that
its employees gamble unknown future for five long
years. But this do know The proposals made to the
industry by the union behalf Of the Steeworkers are
reasonable The industry well afford them-and still
leave profits at record level Once again call upon the
leaders of the steel industry to measure up to their re-
sponsbiities to the steeworkers and to the nation
want the nation to know that the United Steeworkers of
America stand ready to negotiate through genuine col
ectve bargaining fair and reasonable settlement be-
fore the expiration our current agreements 60
