RECLASS|F|CAT|ON
BILL GOES OVER
Held Up, as Seven House
Civil Service Committee
men Are to Retire.

Representative Lehlbach of New
Jersey definitely announced today
that hearings on his reclassification
bill, expected to be held this session
would be held over until the next ses-
sion on account of the fact that
seven of the thirteen members of the
House committee on reform in the
March 4.
Postponement of the hearings. for
which government employees have
been preparing for several months
came as a disappointment to mem
berS of the National Federation OF
Federal Employees and others inter-
eSted.
Purpose of Mr.. Lehlbach.
1t is understood that Mr.. Lehlbach
does not desire members of his COM
mittee who will not return to Con-
gress next session to sit at the hear
then not be able to take further ac-
tion in the matter.
Employees consoled themselves today
with the thought that since the hear
ings had been held off until SO near
the end of the short session it is best
that they be postponed until after
March 4.
This procedure, however, it is held,
places another brake on the progress
of recla ssification legislation. and puts
farther off than ever the realization of
adequate salary increases for govern
ment workers.
Whole Years Delay Seen.
Even if hearings on the Lehlbach
measure are held early next session,
it is mot anticipated now that the
measure could be made effective for
the next fiscal year except by the
most heroic work.
Organizations working along edu-
cational lines in connection with the
reclassification measure will not give
up their work, it was announced. but
will bend every effort, with the added
time given. to perfect their arguments
in behalf of employees of the govern
ment.,

MUST RESTORE INDUSTRIAL
 BALANCE

At the present moment the metals mining industry is in the doldrums, and as result of hundreds of thous- ands of men have been thrown out of work. Lead and copper are low in price; and there is little demand. The government holds many million pounds of copper and cheap lead is being dumped upon the American market, which is glutted in conse- quence. In the case of copper, there is no hope unless a demand comes from abroad, and in the case of lead an embargo must be placed upon the foreign product.
 One might imagine that following peace the demand from Europe to re- place the great loss of copper in home and factory and in trolley wires due to the war would keep American cop- per properties going; and so is would if the finincial bridge between Ameri- ca and Europe could be restored. But so long as there is such gulf be. tween mark, kronen, lira and franc and the American dollar and so long as no agreement for the future peace of the world has been reached, the

 The League is preparing to fight the new primary law relating to party utilization and the convention meas ure passed by the legislature making it law that candidate must have been affiliated with recognized party for two years.
 The League alleges that the pur- pose of these two measures is to kill the farmer labor party by keeping it off the ballot.
 This is not the case; it means that the on-Partisan League or any other political organization will have to fly under it's own colors instead of slip ping their candidates into office un- dor the banner of come other es- tablished political party. This has been League practice from the be- ginning and is just another method of boring from within" which has been employed by radical and near radical organizations in an effort to disrupt political and industrial sta bility.
