Strong Dissatisfaction With
Some of Grade Classical
tons Develops.

Extreme dissatisfaction with some
of the grade classifcations in Repre-
sentative Lehlbach's revised reclassi-
fication bill is developing among the
clerical and administrator groups.
comprising the great bulk OF govern
ment employees here. il was learned
today.
Classifications so wide that you can
drive wagon through them" are the
specific complaint against the way
these grades have been made up IN
the revised Redistribution bill 1t L.
understood that the matter is being
given serious attention by the joint
conference on Redistribution, which
may soon come out strongly against
the alleged inefficient classifications.
Examples Pointed Ont.
That the ALLEGATION of employees
under the Lehlbach classification
would be attended with great difficulty
is the claim of those who see in the
provisions features which initiate
against ae more or less satisfactpfe
salary schedules provided.
As a sample of the wide open
classifications. which are declared not
fine enough to take care of the Situa-
ton. the grades of clerical administra-
tor and head clerical administrator are
pointed out. These would correspond
to the present chief clerk grades in the
departments.
| A clerical administrator. according
to- the bill, is Ito be responsible for

department. or large bureau or office.

A head clerical administrator is ito

What is a minor department" and
what is the difference between IAN in
depepoent government establishment"
| and "other independent government es-
adjustments?
| These are the questions those who
! worke ed on the old reciassificat ton
| commission staff. and who carefully
defined their terms, are asking. IL Is
declared that the new bill is SINH
larly indefinite throughout the entire
| clerical group. and that in the effort
| that there will be no way of straight
/ ening the matter out at the time OF
/ allocating employees to positions.
AS the bill now stands, ii is said
the chief clerk of some great bureau
| with but few clerical employees and
little clerical work to do might get
! higher grading and so more money
| than the chief clerk of another big
| bureau with thousands of strictly
| clerical workers.
| The job of designating some depart
4 ments minor is held also to be no
| sinecure. Altogether the situation is
not pleasing to those who hold these
| views in government ranks, and there
are not wanting those who say that
| unless these things are corrected they
| will fight the LehIbach bill, as much
as they want some sort of reclassifica-
tion.

SENIOR s. s. |. GAMES
EXPECTED At "Y" FRIDAY

The Sunday School Athletic
League games at the Y. NJ. c. A. this
Friday night are expected to draw a
big crowd owing to the fact that the
competing teams are well matched
and close games are looked for.
There will be two senior and two
Junior games. The junior games
will get under way about 1880 and
In them the Presbyterians of this
city and South Amboy will clash,
while the Danish NJ. K. and Simp-
son NJ. E. fves battle in another
set-to.
Owing to the failure of the Bap-
list team to have its formation COM
plete last week and in order to
keep the teams more closely group
ed It has been decided to have the
Simpson NJ. E.-Baptist senior game
played at a later date. On Friday
night the Presbyterian and Baptist
senior teams will clash.
The lineup of neither team are
known as yet. but the Presbyterians
will most likely use Andrews, Tan
gard, Cox, Silver and Grieve while
the Baptists will choose from Mon
roe, Steans, Johnson, Sofield, Hol-
croft and McHose.
In the st. Peter's-Simpson NJ. Il.
senior game the fastest tussle of the
Light is expected. These two teams
are without doubt the strongest in
the league the Simpsons having won
the league two seasons, while the St.
Peters combination, a new entry,
have unusually good material. Play
ing with the E~piscopalians this year
are "Jawn" McCreery and Louis
''Pox" Booz. two ''ol timers in the
court game, together with Dick Oil
yer. Dover and Ryan. The Metho-
dist team has not yet appeared on
the court this year so it is a question
what five men will represent them.
They have plenty of material, how
ever. and five fast men can easily be
selected. They will probably have
smith, Hubbard. Glochau and Ran
kin in their lineup.
