IN volume 80, Opinions of the Attor-
ney General" appear the views of
Attorney General Wickersham. He
deyotes many pages to the subject.
1T seems plain that the words vol
untary service were not intended to
be synonymous with 'gratuitous serv-
ices and were not intended to cover
services rendered in an unofficial ca
pacitx under regular appointment to
an office otherwise permitted by law
to be on-salaried." observes the
opinion.
Service Intruded."
In their ordinary and normal
meaning these words refer to service
intruded by private persons as a vol
unteer, and not rendered pursuant to
any prior contract or obligation"
lie further comments:
1T would be stretching the lam
guage a good deal to extend it so
far as to prohibit official services
without compensation in those in
stances in which Congress has not
required even q minimum salary for
the office"
This might have had especial
reference to the job of director gem
eral of railroads and those of the So
called "dollar-a-year men" had they
been at the time in the public eye.
In indicating just the purpose of this
legislation Attorney General Wicker
sham reviews the discussion in Con-
gress that accompanied its passage,
and concludes:
1T is also perfectly evident from
its legislative history. that the pur-
pose was to prevent the departments
from mourning financial obligations
over. and above those authorized in
advance by legislation"

Offer Made in Writing.

In accepting 'gratuitous service" from
those who offer their abilities and time
to the government for war work, it is
customary to have them put their offer
into writing, accompanied with the
statement that the proposed service is
gratis. This becomes a "gratuitous
service" thereby, and may be accepted.
But it means no pay.
The law of February 81. 1906. which
makes the issue, reads:
mo executive department or other
government establishment of the United
States shall expend. in any one fiscal

Mr.. McAdoo's Status.

This settles the question as to
whether William G. McAdoo. now that
he has resigned as Secretary of the
Treasury, may continue to hold ONCE
as director general of railroads,
post for which Congress has made no
appropriation as compensation. II also
disposes of the question as to
whether his successor, whoever ne
may be, may take the on-salaried
job. Either can hold office without
pay.
The problem of what Congress
meant by its legislation of February
81, 1906, when it prohibited payment
for voluntary services" and the en-
ployment of personal services in ex-
cess of that authorized by law was
th-eshed out several years ago. An
opinion of Attorney General wicker
sham, dated February 7. 1913, defined
a difference between voluntary serv-
ices" and "gratuitous services, md
ing that ''gratuitous services could
be accepted without remuneration.
This opinion still prevails as the
working hypothesis of the account
ing officers of the government. Claims
for voluntary services" are rejected.
No pay. is allowed for "gratuitous
services
Should a Secretary of the Treasury
elect to consult a banker of New York
city. and the banker gave his advice, 1t
would be considered patriotic and a
'.volutary service" To bar the validity
of any claim for payment for such ad-
vice, or any similar service, the law
was devised

tigation of the steel strike will be re-
sumed, when Chairman Gary, of the
United States Steel corporation, is to
give capitals side of the controversy.
