PROTEST SALARY CUT
IN AGRICULTURAL BILL

Washington. d. c.. June 21.-~The
amendment to the agricultural appro-
priation bill offered by Senator King,
of Utah, and agreed to by the senate,
providing that no employe of the de-
partment of agriculture paid from
lumo sum appropriations should re-
ceive more than $4,000 year, will
be eliminated from the bill by the
conferees, it is confidently expected,
as result Of the statement in opposi-
ton to the amendment by representa-
tives Of the national federation of
federal employees at a hearing yester-
day. Such provision, 1t was pointed
out to the conferees, would practically
remove the directive brains OF all the
departments undertakings by making
a 40 to 45 per cent cut in the salaries
of nearly 600 members of the scien-
tific staff who would naturally there
upon quit the service.
The hearing was granted by Senator
Gronna, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on agriculture. upon request
OF committee from the national fed
Grafton of federal employees, who call
ed upon him in protest immediately
after the senate's adoption of the King
amendment. which was offered with
out warming and agreed to by the SEN
ate without debate. The argument
against the amendment was made at
the hearing by President Luther c.
Steward, Of the federation. and DR..
Rodney II. True, chairman of the
scientists branch of federal employees
union, No. 2. who is chief of the bu-
reau OF drug plant Investigations in
the department of agriculture.
The conferees on the bill are Sena-
tors Gronna. of North Dakota: Norris,
OF Nebraska, and Hoke Smith. of
Georgia. and Representatives Haugen,
OF Iowa; Mclaughlin. of Michigan,
and Lever. OF South Carolina.

FEW SALARY INCREASES
IN SUNDRY CIVIL BILL

Washington, d. c., June 21.--The
congress is disposed to leave salary ad
justments in the government service

ton as the Nolan minimum wage

joint commission on reclassihcation of
salaries is indicated by che house
committee report on the sundry civil
bill. which is now under consideration
by the house, according TO officers of
the national federation OF federal en-
ployes. This conclusion is borne out
by the fact that the committee has
recommended an additional fund of
$4,000 for the reclassification COM
mission itself. although it has not yet
extended the commissions jurisdtc-
tien outside of the District of Colum

evidence IN an open and attractive
fashion. He said that he had taken
quite fancy to Liebknecht in the
hotel, thought that for a Socialist he
had interesting views. and good
way OF putting them. And so when
he got into the car beside the dubbed
man he drew his revolver and told
him that he would shoot him if he
tried to escape.
Thus chatting about Socialism,
they continued their journey, Lieb-
