CITY WAGE BOOST “PLUM HARVEST” ‘ Pe eT La Guuardia Will Fight for Alternative in Form of a | Graduated Salary Scale. + Refusing to agree to the flat 20 per cent, increase in salaries of all city employees on the ground that the highly paid political favorites of Tammany Hall wiil be the greatest beretteiaries, Aldermanic. President La Guardia announced to-day that he will submit an alternative in the form of a graduated salary scale plan which will give a square deal to the poorly paid employees. ‘ "I am going to fight to the last ditch to upset this unfair, inequit- able 20 per cent plan,” said President La Guardia, “It ts the biggest plum gathering harvest arranged by poll- ticians in some time. Members of the Finance and Budget Committee who voted for the 20 per cent. salary in- orease grab are now circulating a report to the effect that I originally voted for the 20 per cent. That is absolutely untrue. “Now that the Finance and Budget Committee appears determined to force the 20 per cent. salary raise plan, which is most unpopular among the rank and file of city employees, I want to serve notice on the members of the committee that they are tread- ing on dangerous ground. It is the Board of Aldermen and not the Board et Estimate which must vote for the $5,000,000 special revenue bonds with which to carry out the Increased sal- ary programme. ‘Before the money can be yotea fourteen Republican votes will be| needed, Is it ilkely that Repub- Ucans will vote for an unfair 20 per cent. increase that gives the big fel- lows fat increases and renders very Men’s Suits of Silk a STORE CLOSED A FRANKLIN SIMON MEN’S SHOPS 2 TO'8 WEST 38th STREET Men’s Two-piece Suits In Those Lightweight Stuffs That Make Summer Endurable!
