STUDY SUBJECT CLOSELY.

Important among the reports for re-
classification of government EMPLOYEES
for the reason that 1t will be sub
mitted by committee of government
workers who are vitality interested in
their own and their fellow EMPLOYEES
welfare. the suggestions soon to be
submitted by committee of the
Federal Club new organisation, bids
fair to truly reflect the wishes of the
great majority of government en-
ployes.
Members of the committee of the
Federal Club who are charged with
the duty of investigating the three
large reclassification propositions
picking out the best points of each
and correlating them into proposal
that will suit the best interests of all
are employed in government depart
ments. and as such, il is claimed, are
influenced only by motives that will
bring about the best possible results
FOR themselves and others. They are
men who have been for years in high
executive and technical positions In
the federal service and all have had
experience with the various proposals
for higher remuneration and changes
in the classification of employees of
the United States.
Carefully Study Subject.
With full knowledge of the respon-
sibilities attendant on a complete and
final report, members of the commit
tee have made a very careful study
of the classification proposals from
an entirely new angle and will sub
init their report within a few weeks
according to Col. w. B. Greeley, chief
of the United Sattes forest service
who is president Of the Federal Club,
The committee will make no recon-
mendations. but will spread its report
among the 10000 government workers
in Washington and the approximately
100000 outside of this city, and will
urge them to bring il to the atten-
ton Of Congress from points outside
the District Of Columbia. In no sense
will a lobbying campaign be carried
out, but the report of the reclassificsL-
ton committee of the Federal Club is
expected to serve Congress as a def
mite indication of the wishes of the
government employees and to bring
out the salient points of the three
larger Redistribution proposals in a
manner which will leave no doubt as
to their thought on the subject.
One of Many Proposals.
The Redistribution report, however.
is only one of the many proposals in
tended to better the government serv-
ice which have been considered
within the Federal Club.-The consti-
tuition of the club. adopted recently,
provides that the club shall be an or
ganization of government workers.
apart from the union movement. which
will have for its sole object the inn
proyement of the public service. That
this end may be obtained, officers Of
the club believe. the first step for
ward is to evolve some scheme for
reclassification that will bring the
whole matter to a head and satisfy
the majority of those interested in
the legislation.
Another of the primary objects of
the club is to bring together the
technical men and the executives in
the government service for better CO.
ordination in attainment of scientific
ends. which is expected to result from
such coordination.
Franklin d: Roosevelt. former as.
sistant secretary of war, and Russell
c. Leffingwell, former assistant secre :
tary of the Treasury. were interested
in the establishment of the Federal
Club and worked with a committee int
drawing up the constitution and by
laws of the organization. :
