craving and Printing
Milton E Allies Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, who is also Chairman Of
the Committee on Revision and ADJUST
ment Of Salaries of Employees in the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing. gave out
a long list of promotions Of employees in
that department this morning. Speaking
of tAe work Of the committee, Mr., Allies
said:
The promotions made In the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing today are intend
ed to complete the work Of reorganization
inaugurated by Secretary Gage two years
ago. At that time was begun the correc-
ton Of an abuse which had existed in the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing for
many years. Equality Of work and pay
had been lost sight OF. and il was coH-
mon thing to find persons engaged on the
same kind Of work drawing different rates
OF pay
For instance. in one division, a certain
character Of work might call for pay at
the rate Of g per day. Several employees
would be paid at this rate. Others doing
the same work equally well would receive
SI.T5 per day; still others $50. and in some
instances employees were paid at the rate
of only S125 per day, while some favored
individual might be doing the same work
and getting g a day for it. This condition
was disheartening to many As rapidly as
funds were avaiIale for the purpose Sec
retary Gage. with the hearty co-opera-
tion of those in authority at the bureau,
took steps to equaIize the grades and to
days advances mark the completion Of
the work
In equalizing the pay Of minor grades
an effort has been made to advance the
ion
of recommendation for promo motions in in
dividuaI cases is a matter which must
stand alone. The department will, later
on. take up these individual cases and if
II is found that their advancement viii
further add to the efficiency of the bureau
service such promotions VIII be author
lied. At present it is considered imprac-
ticabIa TO make the individual cases a part
Of the policy which was inaugurated in
the equalization Of the pay in minor
grades The Secretary's idea has
been to correct an evil existing among the
lower saIaried employees first, and after
that to look into any Inequalities that
may exist among the employees of the
higher grades.
