Gallinger Offers Amendment.

Senator Gallinger offered an amend
ment TO Senator BacOn's amendment,
providing that the 20 per cent. increase
should apply TO Government employees
elsewhere than in Washington, and also
to those in the District government
the Public Library and in the two
branches Of Congress who received less
than 81, 500 This amendment, Senator
Bacon opposed as intended 10 defeat
the plan for increased pay for Govern
ment clerks.
Senator Warren pointed out that the
addition Of ten clerks of the first class
10 the force OF various departments
would open the way to promotions that
really meant seventy TO ninety IN
c5eases Of pay. He said he made a
point Of order against the amendment
with great reluctance.
Senator Newlands spoke strongly for
the increased pay. and wanted the Sen
ate TO adopt the Littauer amendment
for salary increases Of last Congress,
which was supported By the House APP
propriations Committee, but which was
beaten I'm the House on a point Of or
der.
The pleas of Senator's Bacon ana
NewIands, however, did not bring about
the increase and the Bacon amendment
was ruled out Of order by the Vice
President on the point raised by sena-
tor Warren.
