Republican, of Utah, | this afternoon introduced his revised | bill to increase salaries of Government employes both in the District and in the | field service. The bill, which was re- erred immediately to the civil service | committee, is the first step taken in this direction the Senate, and would provide increases aggregating approxi- mately $18,000,000, whereas _similar | legislation dra. by a House commit- | ed for about $16,000,000. Amendmen carried in the Smoot | bill make provision for certain groups | of professional and scientific men in the higher salary grades and also call for certain adjustments in the clerical, administrative and fiscal service and in the custodial service. The bill calls for a grade eight, known as chief professional grade, with | a salary range of $8,000, $8500. and $9.000, and also provides for grade nine, to be known as the special pro- fessional grade, to take care of per- sons who may be needed in the service year. In grade 6 of the professional group the bill cuts out $5400 at the bottom and adds at the top steps of $6,200 and $6,400. In grade 3 of junior subprofes- sional the minimum is made $1,440 in- stead of $1,140. In grade 13, known as chief admin- istrative grade. $5400 is cut from the bottom and $6,200 and $6,400 added. Provision is made for a grade 15, to be known as senior executive grade, for persons acting as head of a bureau in | cases where professional or scientific | training is not required, at a range of | $8,000, $8.500 and $9.000. In custodial grade 2, known as of- fice laborers’ grade, the maximum is| made $1,380 instead of $1,320. In| grade 3. minor custodial, the maximum | is $1,500 instead of $1440.

Confidence that the provisions in the | fi { revised Welch ‘bill | more efficient officers Sfi. ng and scientific se: o eliminated by the House civil service committee through a misunderstanding will be restored at the next meeting early this week, was again expressed today by Representative Welch of Cali- fornia, father of the bill, Mrs. of Massachusetts, who fought to retain | these provisions before the bill was reported, and by other members of ‘the House civil service committee. Conferences Held Today. Conferences held today by Mr. Welch | and Luther Stewart, president of the | National Federation of Federal Em- ployes, with members of the House civil | service committee, showed that there is no opposition whatever to restoring sal- aries in these higher grades which were unintentionally reduced by the commit- tee action. Those who understand best the exacting demands and qualifications | for these mg‘h:r positions also expressed | confidence that they will be able to re- store the proposed increases in salary running from $7.500 to $9,000. Mr. Welch said today that the main fight now is over the proposed new grade in both the professional and scientific services which the President, the Budget Bureau and others who understand the means of the Govern- ment insist should be established to prevent the Pederal service from losing some of its most officient employes. He intimated that a substitute method of caring for this situation is being worked out in conference with those who are close to the President. Next Meeting in Doubt. Members of the House committee have not been advised today when the next meeting of the civil service com- mittee will be held, owing to the con- tinued absence of Chairman Lehlbach, | but are expecting that a meeting will | be held Wednesday. | | TRADE PACT EXTENDED.

Pressed to tell the House District committee why ‘the traction merger agreement is committed to a $50,000,000 rate-making base, Col. Willlam B. Ladue, District Engineer Commissioner, declared today it was because the street raflway companies wanted “The Public Utllities Commission is perfectly willing to leave out the rate- making base,” Col. Ladue replied in response to & query from Representa- tive Gilbert of Kentucky, who doubted the wisdom of the committee commit- ting itself to such a figure when he claimed the investment value of the companies could not be more than $20.000,000. Col.. Ladue, who testifled for the first time at the merger hearing, engaged in a lengthy discussion with Mr. Gilbert over the rate base when the Kentuckian asked if there was a necessity for any ! valuation at all being estimated in the | merger agreement. “The necessity arises from the require- ments of stockholders to know where they stand if they are to exchange their present stock for stock in a new company,” Col. Ladue responded. He | added that the rate base was not so im- portant from the viewpoint of the Pub- 1 lic Utilities Commission. As a member of the commission | which approved the agreement, Col. | Ladue testified that the advantages| | to the public from a merger would off- set, in his belief, any disadvantage | that might be derived from an increase in car fares, which he believed inevit- | able. Particularly with the respect to | the development of the triangle south | of Pennsylvania avenue, he said the necessary rerouting of cars could be | done more easily and advantageously | under a merger than under present | conditions, Rate Increase Probable. Col. Ladue said the probability of an increase in fares would be less under the merger than under competitive see no avoidance of an increase in fares under the proposed rate base a year | from now without a decided increase | in patronage “I think the merger is so important to Washington that its approval would be a great advantage to the city,” Col. Ladue declared. He believed the rate of fare was not likely to be increased very high, because the merger would result not only in certain direct economies, but more par- ticularly in increased efficiency of serv- ice by the use of the combined facilities of the companies. “In plans for the development of the triangle south of Pennsylvania avenue and the rneul plans of the National Park and Planning Commission,” he said, “a material rerouting of the com- pany lines will be necessary. That can be effected much more economically and easier in a merged company than under present competitive conditions.” More Important Than Fare. ‘The radical rerouting and scientific use of rolling stock and other equip- ment as contemplated by the merger was declared by him as one of the 'more important advantages which he believed { terest than the question of fares. Mr. Gilbert inquired exhaustively into valuation matters and declared that in view of the present earnings of the two companies. divorcing the Potomac Elec- tric Power Co. from consideration, an oustide investor would hardly pay more than $20,000,000 for the properties of the public utility investment. Col. Ladue explained the proposals relieving the companies from three- fourths of the maintenance cost of street paving and an opinion from the director of the budget was read, In which it was held the policy did not conflict with the financial policy of the Government. “In other words,” said Representative Gibson of Vermont, “the Budget Bureau d the buck back to Congress as it did not fully indorse the relief of the railroads.” Burden on Taxpayers. Col. Ladue defended the item, though he admitted it would saddle the burden on the taxpayers, but expressed the opinion the public would benefit through the increased revenues to the companies. ‘Without this saving in paving cost, crossing policemen and relief from { bridge repairs, he believed the neces- sity for an increase in fares would be imperative. The committee in an executive ses- sion following the hearing voted to exclude the minority report on the amerger agreement submitted by Willlam A. Roberts at a meeting of the citizens’ Advisory Council. The committee de- cided to keep it out of its own record because of certain statements it con- tained reflecting on George R. Wales and Charles 1. Stengle, members of the council. It was felt that Roberts' testimony at the present hearing would be sufi- cient to cover his views in opposition to the merger agreement.

Dispatches from Quadalajara said that 16 insurgents, including Gabino Flores, leader of a small band, were killed in battle with federal troops near Cerro de la Guila. Three men were captured and held for court-martial. In an encounter at Rincon de Miran- dilas five insurgents were slain and the remainder of the band dispersed. Thirty-eight horses were captured. Death of 30 more insurgents in battle with federal troops, bringing the total slain jo the last few days to 51, was described in dispatches from Penjamo, Guanajuato, today.
