HIGHER PAY FOR CLERKS
IS IDEA OF MR. ROOSEVELT,
DECLARES MR LIVINGSTON
Washington, Dec. 10.—-Higher salar
ies for all government clerks will lie
advocated by the president In a special
message to congress, according to.,u
statement made todfliy in the Jlouso by
Air. 'Livingston, of Georgia^ ranking
Democratic member on tlie Upproprlu-
tlon committee.
“I understand.” said Mr. Livingston,
“that the president will soon send to
congress a special message recom
mending a 20 per cent Increase all
along the line of the clerks.
, “Tho house will have to decide
whether It can afford to do this.
"At any rate. I am satisfied that the
cost of living Is becoming outrageously
nigh in Washington. Whether this
comes from the natural law of supply
and demand or whether it Is really ar
bitrary, I cannot say.”
THIRTY THOUSAND PEOPLE
HEAR ATLANTA MINISTERS
APPE'AL FOR LA W AND ORDER
From every pulpit in Atlanta Sunday
went up a strong plea for law and or
der.
Fully 30,000 people heard these strong
and helpful messages from the minis
ters of Atlanta, both white and black.
Many strong utterances came front
these consecrated men, who had
thought deeply over the messages be
fore delivering them to the people.
Gi4U good is sure to result from this
united effort on the part of the clergy
to instill Into the minds of the people
love and reverence for the laws. Able
sermons were delivered, and hearty
comfhendation of the movement has
been heard on all sides.
Credit for this movement belongs
properly to the Business Men’s Gos
pel Union, of which ex-Govornor Nor
then Is president. This splendid or
ganizatlon of Christian workers Is do
ing a great work In Atlanta. When
the project of having every minister
In the city set aside one day for con
certcd action on the question of law
and order was broached, it met with
Instant and hearty co-operation from
-all.
One of the strongest ministers in the
city said afterward that great good
would come from this united effort’on
the part of the best citizens in At
lanta. He believed that a high duty
devolved on white \ and black, men,
women and children, in upholding the
strong arm of, the law, and beget in
the lawless respect for Its observance.
The Civic League will not let the
good thus inaugurated die, but will
strive to make Impossible future racial
conflicts.
