ployes, it was announced today.
A meeting Of the subcommittee will
be held this afternoon, it is expected.
and an effort made to get favorable
action on the bill, so as to enable the
Senate to pass 1t without further de-
lay. The bill then must go back to
the House and its final enactment
will depend upon how that body re-
ceives the Senate amendment
Brown Bill Used.
The reclassification made by the
bureau of efficiency under executive
order of the President October "a,
1921, is to be made use Of, under the
terms of the bill as agreed upon.
There will be some amendments of
the salaries proposed for the lower
grades under this reclassification, it
is said, giving higher pay.
Future classifications will be han
died by the classifying agency pro-
posed in the bill, which will be COM
posed of a representative of the Civil
Service Commission, a representative

Smoot, which existed yesterday was
dissfpated at the meeting yesterday
afternoon, when an agreement was was
reached on many items OF the Dill

putting the proposed reclassifcation
INTO effect have been prepared. He
said that he believed that the meas.
ure would go through. provided, OF
course, that the Senate . and aouse Use
