D|C|NCREASES
OF $50 ARE LIKELY
RecIassification of Federal
Salaries Thought Based
on That Figure.

Periodic efficiency increases for fed
] eral employees here under reclassification
probably will be at the rate Of $50 fol
Teach advance. or multiples thereof. II
Vas learned today This Is the first
intimation Of the exact monetary figure
which will be given at each increase.
1t is believed that the sum Of $50 each
advance will be the reigning figure. and
that multiples Of this sum. such as $120
or $3.50, will be sparinGly given under
for their periodic efficiency increases in
! each class.
While no formal statement has been
made by the joint congressional COM
tmission on reclaAsidcation OF salaries in
! tho District on the matter. and will not
be until It's report to Congress, March
IL, there Is much speculation among fed
eral employees as to the results Of this
system.
Eight Periodic Increases.
Eight periodic increases Of $50 each
| II Is pointed out. given At the rate OF
one every six months for meritorious
work in class. say such as junior
typist, would give the employe $480
In three years. 1t Is regarded as a
strange coincidence that this figure
should be exactly the same as the In
creased bonus of $3.50 asked by the
clerks of Congress.
Before reclassification the average
salary of federal employees was given
at some place in the neighborhood OF
$4,000. Granting that under reclassi-
fication the basic salary would be- on
an average, 31.400. the employe would
be able to advance to $3.50 in three
years. under the plan and conditions
above outlined.
This would be a representative fig
ure, and to secure more the employe
would have to take an examination
at the, hands of the Civil Service
Commission to pass into the next
higher class.
Start Of Better Than u 1.06O.
In the next class he would start
at = salary higher than 1850. and
would progress, by similar system
Of periodic efficiency increases.
through his new grade.
A meeting OF the entire reclassin-
cation commission was held at the
Capitol today to consider the prac-
tically completed draft OF tho com :
missions report to Congress. The
running text" Of the report has been
put into nnal shape by +. o. Griffen-
hagen Of Chicago and Herbert e.
