PAY REVISION
Fight AT HAND
Sterling and Smoot Factions
!, Ready for Hot Battle When
Congress Convenes.

A death grapple over reclassifica-
ton is to take place in the Senate
from the hour that Vice President
Coolidge's gavel raps for order
next Monday.
TWO GROUPS IN CLASH.
Two distinct schools of thought and
lines Of action are to night 1t out to
a nnish--the Sterling-Jones group.
who stand steadfastly by the work
OF the Joint Congressional comitttee
on reclassification, ana whose bill has
the Nlpport of the Federation of Fed
,srai Employees, and the Smoot-Curtis-
Warren group, who have scrapped
the Jones bill and devised a simpli-
fed form of reclassification involving
no great increases Of salary.
Senator Smoot, acting for the Ap-
A propriations committee, will introduce
hrs bill next Tuesday. Senator Ster-
/ ling will introduce the Lehlbach bill
at the same time. The fght will
then be on.
The Smoot bill will have the sup
port Of the old line Republican lead
FRS and the Sterling bill will have
strong adherents on both sides of the
chamber. All the pressure of patron
age and place will be used in favor
of the Smoot bill, but II passed at
all. 1t will only be after a bitter fight.
The Appropriations Committee of
lthe Senate has been under fire for
more than a year, because 1T insisted
upon having referred to it the Jones
reclassification bill, instead Of per
mitting II to go to the Civil Service
Committee, Senator Sterling chair
men. where it's friends are in con-
- l.. 1oxy NJ IA
session last month Senator Sterling
made q strong effort TO have the APP
propriations Committee discharged
from further consideration of the
measure, but failed because Senat tor
Warren PROMISED that the committee
would act promptly on the question
OF reclassification as soon as the spe-
cial session met.
U. .. WORKERS OPPOSE 1T.
To make good this pledge, the ap-
propriations committee has framed a
reclassihcation bill based on a prin-
ciple entirely opposed to that on
which the original measure was
framed. 1t is certain to arouse the
active opposition Of the unionized
Federal employees and their friends in
Congress. Nevertheless. there is no
question that O powerful effort will
be made to jam II through Congress
with all possible speed, SO as to have
it effective for the next fiscal year
beginning July !.
As soon as the Lelhbach bill is in
troduced by Senator Sterling, II will
be referred to the Civil Service Com
mittee or--the- Appropriations Com
mittee. II 1t goes to the latter. 1t
will be Buried for the time Being, at
least, and its supporters will have to
concentrate their fight on tho defeat
of the Smoot bill rather than on any
constructive work in behalf Of their
own measure. . >'.t

and measures law providing for q
physical examination Of all baking
company employees was asked today

and even number of pound bread

examinations is sought. Mr.. Schulteis
says, to protect bread from the germs
Of communicable diseases.

T.. Mont Riley formerly OF Fort

Ana here is how II happened!
T.. Mont Riley is one Of those rare
individuals who was an original
Harding man. There were plenty Of
original wood men, and original
l Lowden men and original Johnson
mon. But original Harding pen were
scarccr than bachelors in Utah.
| Most OF the Harding men got 10 be
| Harding men at about the same time
| on that hot Saturday In Chicago last
June when Il became certain that
neither Wood nor Lowden could be
nominated, and the delegates out of
laundry and out Of luck decided that
they must nominate Harding right
then or stay over until Monday
which meant two more days hotel
bill.
And they nominated Harding.
From that date the place of II. Mont
Riley was fixed. HO had been ar
original Harding man and Warren G.
Harding Possesses that qualification
of gratitude, which many public mer
do not. Riley was for Harding before
the convention and he worked like
trooper for his candidate at Chicago
