1S PAYINGERSE AT DISCSSED :Oppesition to Building of .. .Howard Library Is Ex- " plained to House. e While Representative Woodrum of Virginia, a Democratic member of the + House Appropriations Committee, was mguing in the House late yesterday against the recommendation of m;l committee for an appropriation aof | $400,000 to start ereu}t{xon né (3 l;soo‘«}‘uo | library building for Howary versity, the question of cutting off increases for | ent employes during the fiscal | year starting July 1 next was discussed. Inequality Is Explained. ! ntative Woodrum explained | the uality in pay throughout the ent service, which is to be car- Tected under the three-year program yecommended by the President and the Budget Bureau which the House Ap- | tions Committee, supported by | House itself, proposes to not allow during the coming fiscal year. He said: “Sinee the adoption of the classifica- tion act in 1923 there has grown up this system of inequality in pay among Gov- emment employes. Under that system we g0 to one department and find an employe doing a certain class of work getting a certain rate of pay, and we go into another branch of the serv- jce and find the same class of work being done at a different rate ofrw. We find certain employes getting period- ical raises and other grades held sta- tionary. * + ¢ “Here is a grade with five steps in it, and the classification act provides that “the salary shall be as of the average of the grade, provided an employe has been there a certain length of time and his efficiency ratings will justify it. of the employes have been there the sufficient length of time, their efi- clency ratings have justified it, but they have never been promoted out of the mln grade because the Oongress they um not made the appropriations so eould be provided for. Employes Owed Debt. y The President and the Budget Bureau put it in the budget this year that we would make certain appropriation this year, an- other one next year and another one the third year to raise that group up to their standing within the grade to which they were entitled. “We must not confuse promotions with adjustments in the grades. If an qn;lm is now in the minimum grade and promoted another grade and that carries an increased salary, he gets that promotion, but not within the grade. If he is promoted and taken out of ene employment and put into another, and the employment he is put into eayries & greater rate of pay than which he is promoted, oye doing & cer- ues in that job in not have his the Government clegys Tecognize the fact that owe this money to them in salary ents, though the Bureau of the and the President have said it ought to be paid, yet because we are facing a deficit in our Treasury and because of the large appropriations we must make in this crisis we are going to withhold it? How can we say that to this group of Government employes and then turn around to & private edu- cational institution, which is nef a Government agency but which' is the beneficiary of large Government ap- , and embark on a large extensive building program? Cramton Explains Library Item. Chairman Cramton of the subeom- mittee which drafted the Jnterior De- :ftm!ll'. bill then under' consideration the House, which carries the. Howard University item and alse & provision similar to the Wood amendment to the ‘Treasury-Post Office appropriftion bill prohibiting salary increases to Govern- ment workers, explained “the Howard University library item. He explained that only: in & lNmited ‘way are the facilities of the Library of Congress available to the 2,000 students of Howard University, some 700 or 800 of whom go to the Library each day. *There is no library in the city where | that number would be welcome,” he | gaid. “They can wait,” Qe continued, “as they have waited for many years,” but he expressed the hope that in their enthusiasm for the Wood amendment his colleagues in the House would not “oppose any meritorious construction ftem such as serves to give employ- ment to those who are out of a_jab, use the next deficiency bill will' no gdoubt have a large number of such {tems.” Applause loud and long greeted Rep- Yesentative Woodrum’s concluding state- ment that “if our Appropriations Com- mittee is going to take up items of this gort, gratuitous items, turned down by the Bureau of Efficiency, I want to see the Government clerks get what is com- ing to them.” 800 DAMAGE CLAIMS TO BE ADJUDICATED Interantional Joint Commission' Leaves for Ottawa to Act on Charges Against Mine.
