SAYS STATE HAS PAID
ITS EMPLOYED WELL

TRENTON, July 1.-The state
has been unusually liberal to its en-
ployes in the past few years, and
present rates of compensation in the
state service are equal to or greater
than prevailing rates in the indus
trial world" says the Civil Service
Commission in its formal notice of
the State House Commissions order
that salary increases are TO be taboo
this year..
The specific regulations carrying
out the policy of leaving state sal
aries las is" are as follows: No in
Creases for workers getting as much
as $50 a month and maintenance:
or getting $50 a month or more
without maintenance; or in cases
where raises ARE absolutely essen
tial for the continuance of the states
business" ~-Skeptics see in the las
ter provision a loop-hole for fav-
ored ones, but the commission re-
quests department heads mot to
present cases except those in which
a real emergency has arisen, and
such as will stand the closest
scrutiny"
The new regulations apply to all
state departments alike. those which
have their " sources of revenue
like the State Highway department,
as well as those which depend on
annual appropriations. They will not
apply, however. to those in the ex-
empt class, so that the new rules
will have no effect on the recent IN
crease from $4,000 TO $4,000 Just
granted to State Highway Engineer
Thomas j. Wasser by the State
Highway Commission.
The State House Commission is
sued its order after consultation
with the Civil Service Commission
