PR0MISESPEED
ON CLERKS PAY
Senators to Give Report on
Redistribution of Sal
aries Consideration.
OPINION Is DIVIDED
Some Employees Pleased.
Others Think Raises
Too Small.
OPINION IS DIVIDED

Prompt action on the report Of
the joint Congressional commission
for reclassification Of government
salaries is promised by Senate lead
ers. Consideration of details of the
report, and especially of the bill In
tended to make the recommended
tions enforceable will be taken up
on the floor of the Senate this week,
perhaps tomorrow.
Senator Sherman, of Illinois,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee. said Re had not yet had
time to form a definite opinion on
the recommendations contained In
the report.
'"The character of the committee,
the length of time spent In COM
pilation of this report and thorough
ness with which the work has evil
IDENTIFY been done will entitle the
report to the closest consideration
on the part of Congress" he said.
Employees Divided.
Opinion was somewhat divided
among employees in the government
departments today over the report
of the commission. There was some
satisfaction on the part of those
who received large increases and
much dissatisfaction on the part of
those who received only nominal in
creases.
While the press outlines of the
commissions report were discussed
freely among the clerical forces,
there was a general tendency among
the officials and subofficials of some
of the departments to refrain from
discussing the report until they had
official copies. These copies failed
to arrive at the departments today,
but they are expected tomorrow.
when they will be given attention.
. some Raises Tiny.
The general trend of the dissatis-
faction on the part of the lower
grade employees and messengers.who
received only nominal increases. in
some cases $5 a month. was that the
commission at this time did not take
into consideration the low-purchas-
ing value of the dollar. or, rather.
the high cost of living.
Many of the employees could not
tell from the report where they
stood, as they did not know in which
class they would be included, and
therefore withheld comment for that
reason.

(Written for the United Press)
NEW YORK, July 20.--Winter furs
are selling in July like hot cakes in
January. There's a reason. Furriers
have made Milady believe that the
July price tag Is a few bits shy of the
same arithmetical adornment In the
winter time. 1t may be true and again
it may not, but the fact is that the
sales force which handles sheer organ
dies and voiles is having three
weeks vacation while the poor mis-
creants whose lot is cast in the Hud-
son seal and ermine alcove mop be-
dewed brows as they shove North Pole
garb at Gotham maid and matron.
There was not long ago day when
Milady New York would have emerged
from the shop into the torrid zone of
Fifth avenue or Broadway all swad-
died in her new fur purchase. but this
year fur statesmen say that women
are showing little horse sense" and
storing their prematurely purchased
garments in vaults where neither dust
nor moth doth corrupt. nor thieves
break in and steal.
II may be true that womankind is
using sense In her fur purchases of
this year, but cents have nothing to
do with this case. Yester-year's Hud-
son seal dolman that went for a song
and seven hundred bucks and ninety
cents is now an even thousand. Is
there a cut in II. C. L.? If so, furriers
were missed when the information was
passed about. For, whether it be a
seal from Greenland's Icy mountain or
mongoose from India's coral strand,
four figures and mayhap more are re-
quired to express it's value.
Hues Brilliant.
But, to give even a furrier his due
(and we wager much will be due him
for some time), never have furs been
lovelier and more varied. Even acces-
sories as Innings or fasteners surpass
in fabric and hue those of any for
mer year. The past years craze for
the oriental is persisting into the next
and Innings are Dardaneiid or Carmen
like in gorgeousness. Metal brocades
gold and silver embroideries, heavy
satin ribbons. and metallic laces in AL
gerian blue, Chinese red, or Cleopatra
green. line all winter furs from seal to
leopard.
Bonafide coats with fitted sleeves
are still unknown in the fur realm
The prominent cut is that of the full
cape flaring from the shoulder, un-
belted, and with Mandarin sleeves.
The dolman coat cut straight from
shoulder to hem and unbelted is an
other prime favorite. The modish
long wasted effect was shown at a
fur revue by coat of mole with waist
extending well below the hips. from
hich hung a skirt of two pleated
flounces. Another novel effect was
shown in an ermine model with three
scalloped shoulder capes. Narrow,
scalloped bands of ermine overlapped
all the capes onto the main cape foun-
dation.
Dolmaas OF Fur.
Many big, wrappy dolmans of gray
squirrel or mole are shown. These
