shows put together and he added
"Doubtlcss there is an evening of
a first hearing of Ruddisorc', but VIC

The nucleus for. such a body exists
in the joint conference on reclassi-
fication which announced today that
II now has Rccerdited delegates from
seventeen representative organiza-
tions of Government employees and
expects to include three more this
week. 49,
ORGANIZATION TO CONTINUE.
The one aim of the conference is
Redistribution, but it was stated this
morning that IL Redistribution be-
came a fact or not the delegates TO
the conference. would continue as an
organization in the interests of en-
ployment conditions of Federal
workers.
Should reclassfication be enacted
into law the work of the conference
would not end since in the admins
tration of its principles and its con-
slant revision to suit changing con-
ditons the common interest OF all
Government employees constantly
would be involved Although the re-
ola ssification commission has proposed
the, creation of shop committees of
employees to thrash out differences 1t
is argued that such committees
would not be as effective as one
large central organization, embracing
representatives of every Government
activity.
This latter tendency has been en-
phasized in the work of the joint
conference on Redistribution and
offered the first suggestion for the
proposed permanent labor council.
Among those organizations which
have sent representatives to the con-
ference within the last week are the
machinists, engineers and building
and metal trades council. The public
perhaps commonly thinks of reclassi-
fication as applying only to. office
work srs. but the government em-
ploys every form OF labor all Of which
would be affected by reclassification
OF would be interested in any move
ment to work hand in hand in the
common interest of all Federal en-
ployes,
Redistribution leaders who have
latnched the idea or a labor council
declare that the subject of reclassi-
fication is SO extensive that what
concerns one group Of employees must
necessarily be of interest to the 9TH

ment's labor policy holds an interest
