LEHLBACH BILL
GETS FAVORABLE
REPORT IN HOUSE
Committee Points Out r.
regularities in Pres
ent System.
PROVIDES Z CLASSES
Each Class Is Subdivided Into
Six or Seven Grades
OF Service.
PROVIDES I CLASSES

The Lehlbach bill, providing for
the classification of civilian posi-
lions in the District Of Columbia,
was reported favorably to the House
late yesterday afternoon by Chair
man Lehibach. of the Committee on
Reform In the Civil Service.
The report emphasizes the need
for a comprehensive classification
for the purpose of equalizing and
standardizing compensation and
providing for a uniform and equi-
table system of promotion. 1t points
out that the salaries and wage rates
for positions involving like duties
and responsibilities. and calling for
/ the same qualifications, show a wide
variation The salaries and wage
rates for positions of the same class
are different in different depart
ments, and the present system of
paying bonuses tends to increase
the inequalities in salaries.
Standards Are Lacking.
Attention is drawn to the fact
thatSthc government at present has
no standard to guide il in fixing the
pay of its employees and no working
plan for relating the salaries to the
character and Importance of the
work performed.
The purpose of the bill as ex-
planned in the report is to eliminate
the causes from which these evils
spring. The bill does not seek to
classify by title every position I'M
der the government, but divides the
personnel into the following broad
services: Professional. clerical. in
stitutional. custodial, inspectionaI,
police and criminal investigation.
and IRE service. Each of these serv-
ices ~ divided into grades averag-
ing six or seven to a service.

cording to the provisions of the
hill. from $500 per annuml to

Minneapolis October 2y.-There is
only one purpose to be seen in the
beer and wine order just issued by the

undermine the prohibition law, George
b. Stafford, secretary OF the Antilaw-

Minnesota Can Block Move
The Minnesota law absolutely pre-
vents such a thing, ne declared, and
Minnesota people have it in their pow

Many ministers attended the lunch

been asked to give special attention to
law enforcement in talks from the pull

The beer as medicine" order is a
loophole through which vets hope TO
crawl in nulli1ying the Volstead law.
DIR. Stafford said. A ruling by A. Nit
'chell Palmer held that the restriction
on prescriptions, Of one pint in ten
days, applied only to "spirituous" H.
quor, and left the use OF other intoxi-
cants open, Under restrictions imposed
by the government.
Attack On The Law
"The new regulations" DIR. Saffori
said, 5"allow two and one half gallons
of beer or two quarts of wine to be
prescribed, and with no limit on The
frequency of prescriptions. Anybody
knows that this is complete nullth
cation of the law. No one would need
such quantities just for medicine.
but under our Minnesota law, il
any physician undertakes to follow
the federal ruling he is liable for the
first offense to thirty days in jail and
a fine of $50. The druggist who fills
such prescription is liable to fine
of $3.50 and 80 days or more in Jail II
the druggist fills second prescriD
ton his place can be closed as nui-
