The hearing was originaliy set for last | Friday, but owing to the untimely death of Chief Pharmacist Navy Kenneth M. Smith, it poned to the later date. The bill to come under consideration provides for a restoration of the pay status held by the commissioned warmnt officers previous to the pas- sage of the 1922 joint service pay act. This latter measure contained a clause which took away a portion of their pay which they had hitherto recelved for longevily service. It also prevented these officers from | entering the fourth period of pay which previously they had, under law passed in 1916, enjoyed with en- signe and Heutenants. The 1922 pay act was intended to | raise the pay of all officers of the Army and Navy on an average of 40 | per cent. This result was accom- | plished in all grades and classifications excepting in the case of the warrant officers, so these officers contend.
