As ho srlsncr-d apologetically at his

"Thoso Arlington rtxaVes are hard

Lump Appropriation.
An examination of the eatlmetes for
Arlington and other national ceme
teries for the enrulnc fiscal year
ahowa that there la a lump turn ap
propriation for the laborern and earn
takers. These tame eitlmates ahow
that In thrie Inatltuttona there are
oinploytvl lahorora who Ret as llttlo
ar S0 a month.
The eitlmates call for 9 laborers at 130
a month: 29 nt li': IS at !0; S at 145;
34 at Jl a day. and 138 at $1.60 a day.
The highest pajd laborer, It appears, re
ceives $2.60 per day, and there are only
two of this class. Two more fat $2 &
day.
Tho lump sum appropriated Is expend
ed under the direction of the War De
partment, which has supervision over
all national cemotcrles.
The sundry civil appropriation bill,
which will carry this appropriation, also
Is expected to carry $100,000 for continu
ing the work on a $760,000 ampltheater
at Arlington.
Aska Sum of $5,000.
The sum of $60,000 Is asked to con
tinue the work of getting headstones
for the graves of soldiers and $12,000
la aaked for the repair of roads In
the cemeteries.
After tho hearing today Congress
man Nolan said he marveled at the
fact that a nation which spends one
billion dollars a year should have
men on Ita payrolls thatare support
ing a family of four on 4Q a month.
The Brave-digger who came before
the committee today spoke for all the
under-paid employes 'of the Arling
ton Cemetery. A committee "Had pre
viously filed a petition with the labor
aubcommlttee, but the testimony of
the mud-covored grave digger was
easily the most affecting Incident of
the present series of hearings.
The Labor subcommittee heard briefly
several other witnesses today. All of
them supported the Nolan bill, which
would provide a minimum wage In all
fjovernment departments and Indus
tries. O. W. Dawson, a watchman in the
Treasury Department, told how Impos
sible It Is for him to llvo on $720 a year
NIs expenses, he said, averaged about
$1,000, and he had received assistance
from friends In West Virginia. He said
he had spent for "pleasure" only $10.32
last year.
Lives on $720 a Year.
Stanton -W-.-Algatc, employed at $720 In
the Government printing office, said he
oould barely subsist on such a salary.
and Martin W. Oansberg, a watchman
of the Smithsonian Institutions and
Kenwlck Bush, of the Government Print
ing Office, related the difficulties of
underpaid employee.
It la probable that before the hearings
close tue enter cierKs or various oov
ernment departments will be asked to
testify and Information will be sought
particularly concerning tho number of
Government employes who work for less
man hi a uay.
