The Utah Senator said he felt s the House would agree to the on change which he recommended without the necessity of sending the bill tc conference, and that this would -m crease the chances of -enacting the measure into law before adjournment He said he conferred this morning with Luther B.

Senator Brookhart, Republican. ot lowa inquired whether it was not pos- sible to provide increases on a percen:- age basis. He added that “this juggling of grades back ‘and forth leaves room for a great deal of injustice.” At this point in the hearing Senaior Smoot. author of the measure, drrived at the meeting and explained in deta!! how the total increase of $18,000,500 provided for in the bill ‘would be | tributed among the various classes of | smnloyes | Answering a question by Senatc- | Couzens of Michigan, Senator "Smd | explained that while the amount ‘nerease in the case of the clerical ad. riinistrative and- fiscal service tots | more in dollars than in the custodia | sarvice, it is due to the much larger number of employes in the clerical ad- would tated in 1 t to alloca- | tim~s emphasis was attaincd by virtue | ministrative and fiscal service and dées mean that employes in that service wonld get a greater increase individn- ally. i Senator Couzens also called attention to grade 8 of the subprofessional serv- ic2 in which, he said. the maximum of $3.000 is not increased. “It seems to me that under this b | there will be a constant struggle fcr | change of classification n order t6 ger | increases.” observed Senator Blaine, Rr- lp\lhhun. of Wisconsin. 2 “That happens now,” Senator Smoot | explatned. | Senator Blaine said there was a feei- | ing that influence sometimes. entered | into the problem of reclassification of | employes. | .
