" BONUSRESTORED Transferred and Reinstated Employes to Get Back Pay in Number of Cases. The $240 bonus will be restored to 2 number of Veterans' Bureau em- ployes, and back pay will be ad- justed fn cases to the amount of $500. as a result of a recent decision of Controller General McCarl. Already about twelve employes, of the bureau, some of whom are in Washington, have been certified to| receive the bonus in addition to their present salary. They will also re- ceive checks of considerable size ad- Justing their back pay. A letter has been sent out to all districts throughout the country and to all divisions of the bureaw here by W. Cobb, chief of péisonnel, asking for a report on all persons who may be eligible to receive the additional pay. These reports are constantly coming in, about forty having been received to date. Sev- eral hundred are expected. Makes Cases Complex. The administration of the control- ler's ruling is involving the byreau officials in a complex system on ac- count of the vast variety of cases presenting themselves as eligible for the bonus. Only those persons will Dbe certified whose cases come clearly Within the meaning of the control- ler's ruling, Mr. Cobb said, explain- ing that the controller would be asked to rule on a number of addi- tional typical cases in order to estab- lish precedents upon ‘which the offi- clals of the bureau safely may pro- ceed. Generally speaking, the controller held that those employes who had re- ceived the bonus in another depart- ment or bureau of the government since July 1, 1921, and had lost it to the Veterans' Bureau entitled to the same. It also affects former employes of the bureau restored to duty. “Whether an employe resigns in one department and is immediately appointed to another by transfer has no material bearing on his right to increase of compensation,” said Con- troller Me€arl. “His right to increa of compensation depends on whethe or not he comes within the terms of the acts granting increase of com- pensation.” The ruling was made in the case of two employes, Chester K. Gould, for- merly special assistant in the office of the commissioner _of internal revenue here, and Mrs. Florence JPar. mer, formerly in the War Depart- ment. Mrs. Parmer received $349.33 back bonus pay, and now is receiving the bonus regularly In addition to her basic pay. Asks for List. Chief of Personnel Cobb in his let- ter asking for the records of all per- sons thought to be eligible to such increase of pay, says in part: “In order that the cases of all em- ployes likely to be affected may be con- sidered, you will please submit a list to this office of all personnel serving in your district or hospital who have been transferred from other government de- partments where they were receiving It is desired that this list st 9, 1921, and it is persons reinstated 0 were formerly employed in the A large number of the employes of the bureau are receiving the bonus, but bonus appropriation act of many of them are recelv- salary without the bonus.

A young man, shiabbily dressed and not in the best physical condition, ap- peared at the recruiting station at Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street yesterday to enlist.
