TO END UNFAIRNESS
Holders Of Key Positions V
To Keep Clerks Interest
On Qui Vive.

Placing government service on a
plane high enough to attract COL
lege graduates and make 1t inviting
and profitable to them. is the ambi-
tion of the joint confere nee on re-
classification according to a state
ment issued following meeting
last night at the local headquarters.
Letters have been sent to the
heads of State universities, inviting
their interest in the reclassihcation
and urging their consideration of the
report as matter affecting the fu-
ture of their students.
"key. Jobs Fixed ssoa.
Complete organization of key
persons" at the various government
departments is expected to be ac-
complished during the first week Of
July.
The work of these key persons,
il Is explained in the statement, is
TO extend the work of the joint con-
ference in keeping alive interest in
reclassification among government
employees.
Closer contact will be maintained
with the mass of government work
ers through the key persons" and
the attitude of different groups of
employees toward particular fea-
lures of the reclassification can be
ascertained so that opinions may be
harmoniZed and misunderstanding
cleared up.
Specific instances of Inequalities
that will furnish convincing argu-
ments in favor of reclassification
also are expected to be developed
through the organization of key
persons"
Samples Are Cited.
A sample Of such inequalities was
cited in the instance of certain
clerks recently appointed under an
appropriation for field service at
1896 per month. They were housed
In the same building with older
employees who had done the same
kind of work for years, but whose
salaries were much lower.
A meeting of employees of the
Treasury and Interior Departments
was announced for s o'clock We'd
nesday evening, and the regular
weekly meeting date was changed
