UNIONS THINK CABINET
MINISTERS SHOULD GIVE UP PAY
LONDON. Dec. 30 After the cabi
net ministers made an earnest appeal
to the trade union congress to defer
demands for increased "wages until
after the war on the ground of nation-
al economy the suggestion came from
the unions that the ministers them-
selves might set an example In econo
my by giving up part of their sala-
ries which in some offices are prince-
ly. It was Indicated in parliament that
such a movement was contemplated
by tbo ministers. But now a leading
liberal paper makes an ingenious de
fense of the old scale of salaries.
"It is an old saying" the paper ar
gues "that a minister who glvea hU
whole attention to the nation's affairs
baa little time for bis own and in the
case of some cabinet ministers a sud
den drop of a third to a hall oC tkeir
incomes would create private aacl4
problems and tkeretore some dMrae-
tlon ot talnd. Mialfttera are auaooMd
to be of importance to the mUoa'
buslneu. and distraction ot salad w
therefore a tkia to be avoided. It to
not at all unlikely tbto coaelderatio
scay prevail."
