PROTESTS
MADE
Complaints of Employees in
Legal Division Received
Without Comment.

Protests of employees in the legal
division Of the Federal departments
against the ALLEGATION agreed 20 by
the departmental board were re-
ceiVed without comment today by
the personnel classification board.
Officials of the board will adhere
to their announced policy of main
tanning the present tentative allo-
cations for budget purposes until
after September Is. During the
fall months the actual work of
hearing the protests of various
classes of district employees will be-
gin.
Many Individual Complaints.
So far comparatively few pro-
tests against the ALLEGATIONS have
been received by the personnel
board. In view Of the fact that
class specifications have not yet
been framed, there has been little
opportunity for any complaints to
be made by groups Of employees.
There are, however, a vast number
Of individual grievances and COM
plants.
None OF these complaints have
been brought before the personnel
board, however, and the repeated
statement that the present allo-
cations are to be revised later on
a class basis has served to ullay
q certain amount Of apprehension.

When the fire engines first ar

If any of the fans really know
