Higher Government Pay.
Big Bill Edwards, Collector of In
ternal; Bevcnuo for this district, and
William .0. McAdoo, formerly Secretary
of. the' Treasury, woro the prlnclpsl
speakers at a Christmas party given at
the Custom House- yesterday, and both
of them devoted tnelr orators' glfla to
a tartent that the practice of the Christ
mas bonus has not found an upholder In
Uncle Sam,
For a number of years it has been. In
order In the Custom House to get to
gether on tho flay before Christmas tand
stir up the Christmas spirit. But at
yesterday' party all the speakers eon
ceded that they were trying to evoko
sunshine out of a gray sky.
"Some dajV said Mr. Edwards, "some
big fist is going to line up and knock
on the door of official Washington and
demand that Federal employees have an
Increase In wages. . Their worlt ha got
to bn done well. I challenge any man
to show mo any set of men who dot
their work better than the force here In
the Custom House.
"But at this season of the year when
all the .Wall Street firms and other Mg
business houses are handing out 30 and
40 per cent bonusos It Is very humili
ating for me as Collector to bo obliged
to get up here and talk as I am talking.
But what I am trvlnc to do to-dav Is
;,to'alart.a spirit andmovemcnt to bring
It" abou(;that Federal employees will get
iomc!rcal recognition for tho services
they render."
To which Sir. McAdoo added 'this
sentlmentr 1
"I don't hesitate to say that tho Gov
ernment of tho United States pursues a
policy with respect to Its officers and
employees which is absolutely indefensi
ble, osoeelalty Willi those who occupy
the less Important positions.
"I hope sincerely that some day our
great Government will see to It that the
wages paid to those; serving th United
States are at least put upon a parity
with the- wages for similar services In
most private Industrie and occupations."
