INCREASE PROPOSED FROM THE PRESIDENT DOWN TO THE HUM " BLEST LABORER. \ — Washington, Dec. 12.—An organized effort directed by the American Fed eration of Labor to induce congress to grant wage and salary increases to all employees of the United States government {rom president down to the humblest laborer, was planned at a meeting here today, presided over hy Samuel Comper';"prcsident of the federation. Resolutions were adopted setting forth that government salaries have nt kept pace with the cost of neces gities of life and directing that con gress be petitioned to grant increases ranging from 1 Oto 33 1-3 per cent to government employees, whether in or out of the civil service. Mr. Gompers was authorized to ap point committees to urge hte cause before congress. The resolutions agreed to include a scale of increases which will be embodied in the plan to be pressed. It would provide 33 1-3 per cent increase for those receiving lese than $l,OOO per annum, but not less than $1,500; 20 per cent for those receiving $1,500 but not less than $2,- 000; 1 Oper cent for those receiving 32,500 or more. No employees paid by the day should receive less than %3, if paid by the month less than $9O, or $l,OBO if paid by the year. Should the plan be accepted by con gress the president, cabinet officers and national legislators would be in cluded in the class to receive a 10 per cent increase. The labor commit tees, however, while meaning to over look no one, will confine their efforts chiefiy to procuring increases in the lower paid grades. The question of increasing wages is already before the house of repre sentatives in the legislative appropria tion bill, which is to b taken up for consideration this week. LOW PAY FOUND TO BE REAL PERIL OF GIRLS St. Louis, Dec. 12.—Bad housing, un fortunate home surroundings, inade quate and unprotected public recrea tion and particularly low wages, drive girls into white slavery, the commis sion on church and social service re ported to the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America in ses sion here today. “When a girl’s income in a depart ment store, or her salary is below a living wage, she is at once thrown into great temptations in ways easti ly understood,” the convention re ported. “Those who are weak go un der. Employers must be caused to face this danger of low wages for girls in all its terrible bearings.” The police and courts can be of areat assistance, the commission as serted in destroying the cadet system and controlling vice. The commission declared that the tendency of the church in the past had-been to hold aloof from the more sordid aspects of social welfare work and urged closer attention to the social evil. ACCUSED OF MURDER. Albany, Dec. 12.—James Jones is in jail at Camilla charged with the mur der Saturday night of Edgar Holton. The two young men went together to an outlying portion of the town Satur day night and about 9:30 Holton was found dead, with two buliet holes in his back. A coroner's inquest was held and eye-witnesses were found! who testified that Jones shot Holton twice during a quarrel. Jones shot Holton Jones is said to have had a pis tol in which were wto empty car tridges. Holton was a member of a prominent Mitchell county family, and Jones also had good family connec tions. EVANGELISTS GET TOO MUCH MONEY St. Tonie, Dec. 12.—The commission on evangehism of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, in its annual report, urged that evange lists be put on a salary basis instead of the present system of “part salary, part subscription, systematically so licited, and part free will offering.” The present system insures the evan gelist an income far in excess of the ecarnings of men in other departments of religious work who are cqually gift ed, declared the report.

Washington, Dec. 12.—Determina tion by the supreme court of the con stitutionality of the Adamson law in time for congress to enact and desired supplementary legislation at this ses sion was regarded as assured today when tlhie court advanced the test case for.argument on January 8. The court granted the government’s motion to expedite the Missouri, Okla homa and Gulf railroad case, in which Federal Judge Hook held the Adamson act void. Hearings were set for im mediately after the Christmas holidays and ahead of all other importnt cases already assigned for January 8.

Croxton Farm Improvement Department A. B. & A. Ry., Atlanta, Ga. GIVES WARNING TO AMERICANS. Washington, D. C., Dec. B.—Warning against a threatened migration of the populations of Western Asia to the United States is contained in the an nual report of Commissioner General Anthony Caminetti of the immigration service, made public today. The war and conditions imipediately after its close will stay the stream for a time, but steps to head it off must be taken before transportation interests begin to cull the field for their business, the report declares. Immigration fro mthe far Orient, too, is a problem still unsolved, the report sets forth. The system here tofore devised to deal with it do not promise much improvement and ma chinery for enforcement of the Chin ese exclusion act is not adequate or well adapted, it says. Arrangements for the admission of Japanese, it is declared, should be amended to fit con ditions better. “The Chinese exclusion law,” says the report, “should be so modified as to make use of the same administra tive methods and means as are em ployed in enforcing the general immi gration law; and the Japanese ar rangement should be so changed as to eliminate therefrom those excep tions that have tendency so to broaden as to reduce materially the efficiency of the otherwise fairly sat isfactory plan.” Hindu immigration which would be permitted more freely under a recent supreme court decision, will be atken care of in the Burnette immigration bill pending in congress. Smuggling of Chinese, the report says, has been combated vigorously with the result that amateur smug gling has been stamped out to a large degree. Higher prices that Chinese are willing to pay therefore, it is said has attracted to the business an ex pert class of criminals who are more scientific in their methods. A bigger appropriation is asked to meet the problem. The war situation, the report says, has presented many difficult legal and administrative questicns at seaports and along the Canadian border. The report describes the develop ment of its employment service and outlines an extension of its policy of co-operation with state and municipal employment agencies. ‘ON TO WASHINGTON’ THE WORD WHEN VETERANS TO TO REUNION Washington, D.
