WOULD REPEAL
RESTRICTIONS ON
GERKTRAEFERS
Senate Committee Bill
Also Removes Bar
To Better Pay.

Two bills of far-reaching impor-
tance to government clerks and
other employees in Washington were
reported by the Senate Committee
on Civil Service and Retrenchment
yesterday. in preparation for the
general reclassification.
One repeals section fve OF the
legislative. executive and judicial
appropriation bill of 1906 by whicn
II Is unlawful for government en-
ployes to transfer from departments
In which they have setyed less than
three years, and the second repeafs
section of the urgency deficiencies
act OF 1907, which prohibits increas-
ing the pay OF employees under the
lump-sum appropriations who nave
served less than one year in their
respective departments.
Plans Joint Hearings.
Senator Thomas Sterling. of South
Dakota, chairman of the Civil Serv-
Ice Committee, announced, follow
ing the committee meeting yester-
day morning, that Joint hearings on
reclassification would be started by
the Senate and House Civil Service
committees next week. provided the
House committee at its meeting to-
morrow agrees to the plan as dis
cussed by the Senate committee.
The South Dakota Senator said
that the two bills, introduced last
week by himself and Senator Reed
Smoot, of Utah. are already under
consideration by his committee,
which will make its report and rec
omme ndations to the Senate as soon
as the proposed joint hearings are
finished
1t Is understood that the best fea-
lures of all proposed legislation on
the subject of reclassificstion will
be embodied in one bill. The Senate
Finance Committee will act simul-
taneously on the two principal re-
classification bills and make recon-
mendations.
Considers Repeal Necessary.
Senator Sterling stated yesterday
that the bills proposing repeal OF
two Civil Service laws were con-
sidered vital to the success of the
reclassification of government en-
ployes generally. of which there are
more than $4,000 now in Washing
ton. He said 1t was unfair to en-
ployes who are qualified for better
pay to bar them from increases for
one year. as section of the urgency
deficiencies act provides. and also to
those who are prevented from trans
ferring from one department to an
other within three years, as pro-
yided by section 5 of the Legislative
appropriations act.
Finds Restrictions Unfair.
Men who are qualified for better
positions should be permitted to
change from one department to an
other, he said. These restrictions
he said, are not only unfair to the
employees but work a hardship on the
government, which could obtain bet
ter efficiency IL permitted to trans
fer men as 1t sees fit. Thousands
of transfers are expected to be made
under the reclassification law. which
Congress is expected to adopt be-
fore the end of the fiscal year,
June 80.
