VOIE ON BILL WAS HOST DECISIVE
Several Members of the House of Re?
presentatives Made a Strong Fight
for a Higher Salary, But They Were
Beaten by a Vote of 100 to
188. ../
(Rv Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 14.?Uy
a vote of LOU to 188, the House of Re?
presentatives today refused to In
Icrease from ?5,000 to $7,500; the sal
juries of senators and members of the
House of Representatives.
I The house, however, by an over?
whelming vote increased the salaries
,'Of the vice-president, the speaker of
.the house and members of the Presl
'dent's cabinet to ?12,000 each.
I In anticipation of the question of
the increasing of the salaries coming
before; the house, there was an exceed?
ingly large membership present and
the dobnte on several of the amend?
ments for IncreaBOB, which were of?
fered by .Mr. Littauer, of Now York
to the legislative appropriation bin,
was followed by marked interest. Dis?
posing of the salary question the
house passed the legislative, execu?
tive nud Judicial appropriation bill.
Mr. Lit lauer or New York opened the
discussion by presenting an amend
I mont raising the snlarles of the vice
president and the speaker of the
house to $12,000 per annum. He
I :.poko of (he spenker of the
i house und said Hint ovory
i body recognizes that the dutlns are
arduous and that the pay Is not ade?
quate,
After several speeches, the amend?
ment was adopted by u vote of 21G to
61; (he opposition falling to secure
voles enough to call the ayes ami

tion of the bends of the executive de
purttuents, who uro members of the

rale of $12,0(10 per annum each."
Mr. Llttauer held up a large picture
of a president of n baseball associa?
tion, whose salary had been lncrensed
from $10.000 to $15,000 n year and
contrasted that with the salaries of
tho cabinet. The nmeridmont was
adopted 204 to (50.

gress, offered a provision raising the
. salaries of senators und members of

Mr. Clark's Stand.
Representative Clark of Florida
said he desired to discuss the ques?
tion from tho standpoint of a poor
man. Ho called attention to the fact
that "men are retiring from the ser?
vice of the country and returnlnc; to
privato life, solely because the salnry
which they received In official posi?
tions was inadequate to maintain
them, and they see In future yenrs
poverty for tfiolr children and want
in their old ago.
"I bellovo there arc not ten men on
this floor who lu private conversation
will not say the salary is-inadequate
the Increase is right, but some say I
cannot afford to vote for it."
Mr. Lamar of Florida, offered the
amendment, as did Representative
Oronnn of North Dakota. Lncev of
Iowa and Webber of Ohio. Others
who snoke In'favor of the amendment
were Representatives Qrosvenor. Sims
snd Onines. The amendment was de
