Restoring the Bonus.

In amending the government em-
ploye bonus bill laid before it yes
terday the House displayed proper
consideration for the equities. Rarely
is a recommendation of the appro-
priations committee rejected. but that
bearing on the compensation Of the
executive force Of the government
was so contrary to expectation and.
in fact, to assurances already given
that the reaction against it was i'm
mediate and positive. Evidently it
was as much of a surprise to the
House to find the bonus borne in the
bill reduced as it was to the govern
ment employees.
1t was effectively pointed out in the
course of the debate yesterday that
this so-calIed bonus is not in truth a
bonus. not a gift or a compensation
for extra services. 1t Is an addition
to the basic pay of the clerks to ad-
just 1t to present conditions. 1t can
not be compared with the wartime
increases in wages and salaries in
private employment. Those increagcs
were made on top Of scales then COM
mensurate, whereas the government
pay scale, remaining unchanged for
more than half a century, was wholly
out Of balance with economic condi-
tions. The bonus, so-called. merely
served to bring the government 8
average pay closer to tho normal
standard Of compensation. Had the
clerks been paid as they should at
the beginning OF the wartime tnfia-
ton a bonus would have carried them
far beyond the point Of their present
range. Thus to reduce tho bonus by
25 per cent would not be scaling
down similar to that which has taken
place in the trades and business EN-
ployments. 1t would be an actual re-
duction below the normal living wage.
This view Of the matter was clearly
taken by the majority Of the House
Yesterday, which voted by over two
to one in committee of the whole to
restore the bonus to the $24o point
and In the House in final vote on the
amendment by 22o to 3S. This EN-
phatic declaration in favor Of continu-
ing the bonus at the former rate
should preclude any move to reduce
it when the bill Is considered in the
Senate.
This action of the House is espe-
cially important in view of the fact
that the proposed definite readjust-
ment of salaries il to be based upon
the pay actually received at the time
of the passage of the reclassification
bill, including the bonus. If the re-
duction recommended by the appro-
priatiens committee had been effective
the readjustment Of pay under the
new law, which it is expected will
soon be enacted, would have been on
the lower basis.
