RECLASS|FY Y|NG BILL
DECISION REACHED
President Takes View of
Smoot- of Efficiency
: Faction.

The controversy over the method of
reclassification of government en-
ployes and the salary schedules be-
tween the Sterling-Lehlbach faction
on the one hand and the Smoot bu-
reau of efficiency faction on the 9TH
er continues unabated today. The
outstanding features of the situation
are:
The President, after a three hour
conference at the White House last
night with Senator Sterling. chair
man Of the civil service committee,
and Senator Smoot. chairman of the
appropriations subcommittee con-
sidering reclassiflcation legislation.
has taken position in support of
the Smoot contention, which is that
the reclassifiction worked out by the
bureau of efficiency should be put
into effect
Sterling's Proposal.
Senator Sterling will go before the
subcommittee on appropriations this
afternoon and submit a compromise
proposition. 1t will propose that the
bureau~of efficiency work on reclassi-
fication, done under executive order
of October "a, 1921, shall be made use
Of as far as practicable and that
where there are differences between
the proposals in the reclassif1cation
bill and the bureau plan in regard to
salary schedules, the reclaSsiftcatfon
board set up by the bill shall deter
mine what is fair and put it into ef-
feet.
The chairman Of the civil service
committee has reserved the right to
submit this compromise. If 1t is re-
jected, it is understood Senator
Sterling will carry the fight to the
floor of the Senate.
contention will have much support
among the senators, If the matter
reaches the floor, is believed to be the
case.
doubtful that any reclassification leg
islation can be enacted at the present
session.
It is pointed out that the President
has the power to put into effect the
reclassification made by the bureau
of efficiency under his order of 1921.
But 1t is also true that unless Con-
gress appropriates the money to make
this effective, 1t will amount to little.
An estimate has been made of the
exact amount which it will take to
put LnlS iHcaNC NY
the bureau of efficiency, into effect.
1t Is expected that an effort will be
made to have an appropriation for 1t
attached to the third deficiency bill.
But If there is deadlock over re-
classification, then there will be nothing
left to do but appropriate for the $240
bonus and let reclassification legis1a-
tion wait for the next Congress-.
The contention is made that the sal
ary schedules proposed for the great
mass of clerks and other employees in
the bureau Of efficiency reclassification
are too low; that they do not do JUS
tice to the employees. For the pro-
fessional. and scientific grades of serv-
ice, however. some Of the salaries pro-
posed by the bureau of efficiency run a
little higher than under the Sterling
plan.
A number Of provisions in thei re-
classification bill were agreed to by
Senator Sterling and Senator Smoot at
the conference last night, and the two
senator's will go over the bill again
today.
