services in the report.
An important adjuEct to the re-
port will be L bill which will be in
troduced in Congress TO carry into
effect the LOO class specifications
contained in the report, and to make
the salary schedules, presented as
part of the class specifications, into
lay. The bill viii also give powers
to the Civil Service Commission to
carry out the general recommenda-
tions of the commission.
Basis of Entire Work.
The class specifications are the
basis of reclassifcation and con-
stitute the divisions into which the
1000 Federal employees in the Dis
trict have been divided, according to
! the work they perform. A class
specification contains the title of the
position, its duties, the qualiflca-
tions required to hold the position
and a statement of the lines of pro-
motion. These 100 class specifica.
tions cut the hazy titles now used
exactly in half.
The report will contain recon-
mendations for an elaborate system
Of periodic efficiency increases"
which will be an integral part of
the salary schedule, and are expect
ed to be a spur to the efforts of am
bilious employees which heretofore
has usually been lacking.
Wide Salary Ranges.
Under this system there will be
between four and six ranges of SAL
airy in each class specification to
which an employe in the class will
be entitled in the course of time IL
he has a good record.
Custody of the valuable records
Of the joint Congressional Commits
sion. including the 100000 question
aires filled out by Federal employees,
will be given to the Civil Service
Commissioner.
By getting all positions involving
the same character of work into
the same class and providing a pay
schedule for the class it is held there
is bound to be uniformity in COM
pensation; an element conspicuously
lacking in the pay schedules of Fed
eral employees heretofore.

\ When. on Friday morning, the
House and Senate are presented
with the report showing results Of
the labors of the joint Congressional
Commission on Salaries of Federal
employees in the District Of Colum-
bia, the biggest job Of salary re-
classification ever undertaken Will
be near completion.
The commission has been in con-
slant session a little more than a
year, and its report is known to be
one OF the most voluminous ever
laid before Congress. 1t contains
recommendations of hundreds of ex-
perts, and the testimony of many
more hundreds of witnesses.
While members OF the commission
are reserved regarding details of
their work. some salient facts that
will be brought out have become
known. Among these are:
Tendency II Upward.
The general tendency will be to
revision upward and, not downward
in the scale of salaries.
Key positions" on which thou
sands of employees of a certain class
or grade will have their salaries
based, is the scheme by which re-
vision has been made.
II the recommendations Of the
commission are accepted. there will
no longer be any discrimination in
the matter of pay Between govern
ment employees and those who work
for private corporations.
The cost of the commissions work
has been more than s275.c00.
Findings Just, Says Heating.

sion started its work, the salary
schedules on which the 10000 gov
ernment employees in the District of
Columbia were paid were in a state
of chaos" said former Congressman

commission, last night. Great dis
satisfaction was unQuestionably
justified. 1 believe the findings of
the commission will be considered
just and equitable"
