the action of the republican commit

ments of republicans will not be made

Senators Cameron and Weller, have
lust come to the Senate. The other
new member, Senator Goodlng, came
into the Senate at the last session TO
take the place of Senator Nugent.
who resigned.
Ball Districts Friend.
Senator Ball, the new chairman OF
the committee, has taken keen in
terest in District affairs. Eis name
is associated with the act creating
the District rent commission. He was
chairman of the subcommittee which
investigated the high cost of living
in the District.
The Delaware senator is keenly in
terested i'll the development of the
National Capital, and in obtaining a
square deal for all of it's citizens.
One of the matters which he has
close at heart is a solution of the
street railway problem. He is strong
believer in merger of the street car
lines.
Senator Weller of Maryland is an
other friend of the District. He
lived here for a number of years
while in the government service, and
is familiar with the problems of the
capital.
Senator Gooding and Senator
Cameron are both men of affairs, and,
it is believed. will be of assistance in
dealing with District matters.
Plan to Increase.
In order to take care of all the in
coming republican senators as well as
the old members, the committee will
propose to the republican caucus that
ten of the major committees be in
creased in membership to sixteen.
The limit now placed on the size of
committees is fifteen.
There was a considerable contest
over vacancies on the Senate foreign
relations committee. All the old men,
bers of that committee are retained
and Senator Kellogg of Minnesota is
given the one vacancy which existed
with the committee reduced to fifteen.
If the proposed change in the rules
increasing the committee to sixteen
is adopted. Senator Mccormick of Ifli-
Hois will get the place.
: The chairmanship of the committee
on agriculture goes to Senator Norris
of Nebraska, the ranking member
There was some effort to have Senator
Page of Vermont, now chairman of the
naval affairs committee, transferred to
the craftsmanship of the agricultural
committee, SO that Senator Poindexter
of Washington might become chairman
of the naval affairs committee, but
this was abandoned

WAY CLE EARED FOR
RECLASS|F|CA
Appropriations Committee
Already Outlining Bill to Be
Presented Next Session.

Legislation reclassifying the en-
ployes of the government and making
fairer distribution Of work and pay

session of the new Congress, accord
ing to Senator Curtis of Kansas, re-
publican whip of the Senate and a
member Of the appropriations com
mittee now charged with the work
Of drafting the reclassification bill
The Kansas senator pointed out to-
day that the appropriations commit
the special session is concerned. .All
of the big supply measures for the
government for the coming fiscal
year. which are handled by that com
mittee were disposed of before the
close of the last session of Congress-
The way is cleared for reclaSsif1cation
of government employees.
A considerable amount of work on
reclassifcation has already been ac-
complished in preparation for the
the committee has possession of the
report of the joint congressional
commission On reclassification and
the extensive hearings, which were
taken by that commission in 1919 and
1920.
COmmittee's First Chance.
In the regular sessions of Congress
the appropriations committee in the
last two or three years has been
greatly occupied with the regular
supply bills for the government.
During the war it was Kept CON
stantly at work on special supply
measures for the prosecution of the
war. Now it has the opportunity for
constructive work along the line OF
reclassification.
In the opinion of some of the MEM
bers of the appropriations committee
it will not be necessary to hold
futher hearings. or, if hearings, are
held. they will be brief and will deal
with special matters upon which the
committee finds it requires further
information.
The report of the joint commission
on reclassification and the bill which
it drafted has been criticised by
some of the legislators on the ground
that it makes far too many classi-
fications, and that 1t prevents various
classes Of employees from doing work
of which they are perfectly capable
and which is closely allied TO the
work of their classification.
The contention is that with SO many
classifications far more employees
will be required. and in many in
stances there will be employees who
have scarcely an hour or two of work
to do daily, with the rest of the time
waiting around for something to do.
Simplify Clnssiacations.
1t is expected, therefore. that the
concentrations committee will simpli-
fy the matter of classif1cations and
eliminate many that have been pro-
nosed by the reclassification commits
sion.
The senators are determined that
the present system of granting hori-
zontal bonuses to the employees shall
cease. and that a scientific rearrange-
ment of work and salaries shall take
it's place. The bonus system was
adopted merely as an expedient to
tide the government workers over the
period of war emergency, when prices
were soaring and the Congress too
busy with war legislation to give at.
tention to reclassiffcation.
