CLERKS SUGGESTED
Opposition to RecIassification
Legislation at Coming Ses-
sion Grows Stronger.

There is strong opposition develop
ing at the Capitol against proposed
legislation at this session of Con-
salaries of government employees.
Those who are combining in this op-
position, however. frankly admit that
they believe an increased bonus" will
be allowed to the government en-
ployes to meet the high cost of living.
which probably will be about 1850
instead of the present bonus of $40.
The opposition to the reclassifica-
tion legislation is based principally
on the following facts:
% The House is going to have
about all it can do to put through
the appropriation bills before March
4. when the present Congress ends.
(2) The members feel that this is
a most inopportune and difficult time
to adjust either work or salaries.
(3) They feel that reorganization
in hand and be co-ordinated with re-
of work and salaries.
(4) They feel that any legislation
PASSED would be so drastic as to be
vetoed by President Wilson.
Chairman Charles r. Davis of the
of the appropriations

trict budget. today said that his opin-
ion comedies with that of Chairman
William R., Woods of the subcommit-
tee on the Legislative. executive and

ton Legislation.
Representatives Davis and Woods
are agreed that 1t is practically Inn
possible at this session to give proper

especially such as would require such
careful consideration as reclassifica-
tion and Reorganization measures.
Both Chairman Davis and Chair
man Woods, whose committees handle
the pay bills for most all Of the gov

this hairdressing has, Is that the girl
must be rather pretty and absolutely
must be a brunette If you wish 10
try this style, here's how IL Is done
Part the hair IN the middle and
