Army's bill in Cuba seeks higher clerical pay and reorganization
The Quartermaster General JB Aleshire urged greater army appropriations noting the present clerical pay scale hinders qualified stenographers and typewriters. He proposed reviving the clerical force by removing lower grades, raising salaries to 8400 per year, and expanding remount and transport operations to support efficiency and reduce losses in Cuba. He emphasized hiring by skill, not seniority, and urged reforms across the Quartermaster Department to improve wartime logistics and personnel.
