Federal Employees Get Salary Increases In House Bill
The House approved a legislative, executive and judicial appropriations bill providing 5 to 10 percent pay raises for about 16 000 federal workers earning under 1800 a year and up to 1500 for each representative's secretary. A move to add a stenographer at 75 a month failed. Debates centered on a potential 28 million budget gap and revenue limits from taxes and prohibition. Representative Mann urged higher pay to share in prosperity amid war, while objections cited national deficits and tax sources. Subtreasuries and the federal reserve role were debated with McAdoo supporting continued subtreasury use.
