PAY LESS THAN OUTSIDE.

Practically every union affiliated
with the American Federation OF La
Dor is represented in the Government
service. and yet il is a wellknown
fact that in every instance the Gov
eminent pays less than union scales
in force in private employment. II
is an issue which sooner or later
must be settled. labor leaders declare,
since Their" is a tendency of the Gov
eminent to cheaper labor, and II is be-
coming apparent that whatever the
Government has come TO recognize is
quickly grabbed up and recognized
in tho outside world as standard. In
this fact labor sees a harassing ele-
ment. Especially so since the Reclassi-
fication Commission would, in many
cases, place a still cheaper price on
labor.
The Refrigerator engineers in the
Government service present n com.
plant that the Redistribution COM
mission would destroy the per diem
principle of wages by setting a yearly
rate. These engineers declare that
they now are receiving only T6 cents
an hour. with time-and-a-half FOR
Sunday work. double-time for holi-
days, and 30 per cent extra for night
work.
The commission recommends a fat
salary of 81 900 for such employment
and discards all overtime pay. The
engineers declare that on such a basis
IT. would be necessary for them to
work seven days a week.
Injustice" Is the word almost gen.
orally applied by the different divis-
ions of organized labor in their criti-
csm of the commissions report. Just
what action labor will take IL being
held in reserve for the present until
II is seen what Congress will do with
the Reconsideration report. II COM
planned of conditions are not RENE
died war between organized labor
the country over and the Govern
ment is readily forseen. II 10 declared.

ately be thrown at odds and fight
would be on for the survival Of the
fittest.
Even the basic element of labor.
that of apprenticeship. is completely
upset by the COMMISSIONS recommen-
dations. In this respect civil service
laws are completely ignored. On this
point the Plat" Printers Union. hav-
ing about n thousand members en-
ployed in the Bureau Of Engraving
and Printing, voices an emphatic de-
nunciation of. the commissions aims.
FIGHT APPRENTICE RULING.
1t is declared that no one has ever
questioned tn" fact that the principle
of apprenticeship is Il schooling for
youth who would learn the rudi-
ments Of his trade when he is in a
receptive age for learning.
Such an age would be in his minor
ity. yet under the reclassification
comm ssons report a man ninety
premiership.
Labor generally agrees that four
years apprenticeship shall be served
in the minority. civil Service laws
declare that three years of the four
shall be served during the minority
age OF an apprentice, but the reclass-
ification commission would remove all
such limitations.
The plate printers cite the fact that
under the Sundry Civil bill the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has the right to
pay them union scales existing in
outside employment, although at pre-
sent they receive on an average of 20
cents an hour less than other scales

money.
On basic salary of 81 900 a plate
printer. for example, now receives
81 ,240 with the bonus. The rec1assifi-
cation commission recommends II
per cent increase for such employ
ment minus the bonus, which would
bring the wage to only S1,11O, or rep
