said that if an employe were placed

now receiving. his salary should be
cut so that he would stand upon an
equal footing with the other members
of that group.
Must Be No Discrepancies.
No other plan would be in line with
standardization Of government work
Is the opinion Of Representative Black,
who also expressed the view that the
joint committee could not AFFORD to 20
before Congress with the recommen-
datfon which would permit of any dis
crepancies favoring employees who
may be receiving greater compensa-
ton at present than they would be
entitled to receive under the proposed
classification
mr.. steward expressed the opinion
that the inequalities which might
arise under the conditions alluded to
by Representative Black could be
erased in course of time through
administrative acts. particularly
through failure to make appoint
ments to positions which at present
pay more than they would pay under
the reclassification. In other words,
these positions, if they were made
vacant by resignations or other nat
ural causes. could be dropped. while
appointments could be made to new
positions calling for performances Of
practically the same duties at the
standard rates of pay specified under
the classification.

1t is reasonable to suppose. Mr..
Fitzgerald said. that mistakes will be
made in the classification and alloca-

hoped there will be permanent

to consider from time to time the
question Of adjusting salaries tna 30 tnat a.
there might be maintained constant

The witness urged the joint COM

about classification legislation at the
earliest time possible. pointing out
that the bonus system now in ehect
will expire July !. next year. and
that unless some provision is made by
that time to offset the loss in pay
that will result from the expiration
Of the bonus payment there will be

Often a feeling exists. he said. that
an administrative officer is unfair.
"I believe there is little intentional
unfairness on the part Of ADM Stra-

would be contrary to common sense
for an administrative officer to Grip

methods. Nevertheless. there are
cases which should be carried to a
