COMMITTEES TOAD
CLASSIFICATION
Will Visit Business Houses to
Ascertain Pay for Work Simi-
lar to U. S. Employees.

| In order to forestall "kicks," special
service committees will be selected by
| the joint congressional commission
District in connection with it's forth
| coming canvass of business houses of
Washington and nearby cities to find
salaries paid in comparison with sal
aries of government workers here.
These service committees will be
composed of nine members each, three
representing the administrative end
of the government service. three rep
selves and three representing the pub
lie. These latter will be selected
through the medium of the Washing
ton Chamber of Commerce and other
bodies.
Exhaustive Canvass Impossible.
While the canvass of outside firms
and institutions will be thoroughly
representative, it is realized that it
cannot be exhaustive. Hence the
number of firms to be visited by ex-
perts of the reclassification commits
sion will be limited by necessity,
since but three months are left for
the completion of the work.
1t was expected that if only Ger
tain number of firms were selected.
after the canvass was made some
might be found to declare. Yves. you
made canvass. but you only visited
a certain number of firms. Now, if
you had gone to So-and-So you would
have ct an entirely different story"
1t is to forestall such criticism as
this, as far as possible, that the re-
classification commission has decided
upon the appointment Of service COM
mittees to do the picking Of the diff
ferent firms and institutions, educa-
tional and otherwise, that are to be
visited.
Distinct "Services'' Represented.
There will be more than a dozen
committees, each committee represent
ing distinct "serfice" of the gov
ernment workers. For instance, a
committee will be selected to repre-
sent the clerical service in the govern
ment, and this committee will select
the business firms which are to be
visited in order to find out what clerks
in business firms who are doing work
comparable to that done by clerks in
the federal service are getting.
