Of the work in the Treasury Depart
ment was made by experts from the
bureau Of efficiency in cooperation
with the administrative officers OF the
department. and thus a job analysis
was made in that department. The
Jobs thus analysed were appraised &C
cording to the proposed Reconstruction
schedule.

Then in parallel columns were
placed the salaries now paid for work
and what it would receive under the
new appraisement and reclassifica-

lAtion IL that Congress will be able to

boards authorized by law.

Tho tabulation results in the postal

TWO Governments ASK

of the AzerbaiJan

erence to the integrity of their terri
tory and it's eventual defense against
attacks by the bolsheviki. II Is un-
derstood the council considered meas
ures for aid to these states Tor de-
tense of their frontiers in case OF
need.
NJ. Clemenceau will preside tomor-
row, and, according to latest tnforma-
tion, will continue to represent france
until all the business at hand IN which
he has had a personal part Is nnlshed
Continuation of the present CONFER
ence beyond tomorrow depends upon
whether the French government IL

go on with the important internation-
al questions. Unless NJ. Millerand. the
new premier. decides he wishes to GO
on uninterruptedly with the del1bera-
ton. Premier Lloyd George OF Great

1t is reiterated in council circles
that the communication on the Rus

war office recently does not justify
the inference that offensive military
action against the bolshevikl Is un-

ality that has been discussed is the
defense of neighboring states In case
