The following is the text OF his

Since the fourteenth of June, one

May l call attention to the state
ment concerning the American Flag
by General Horace Porter:
THE flag of our country is not
simply a piece of bunting which can
be purchased for few dimes at the
nearest shop; 1t is not a mere cluster
of brilliant colors. il is the emblem
OF dignity, authority, power. In this
free land there is no sovereignty, no
crown; our sole emblem of fidelity
to country Is the nag.

Of rioting between members Of

posed to the hooded order, here
and at Spencer. Shot guns
loaded with rock salt and re-

showers Of stones and other mis-

William OTool received a. bullet

Battle From Automobiles.
The disturbance practically ended
when the klansmen agreed to per-
NIT police and State troopers to
make a search for arms. Clubs and
stones were all that was found and
the besieged began their departure.
One machine, loaded with klans-
men was followed and overtaken by
another car and spirited battle
ensued in which one member at
least Of the khan party was severely
injured.
Earlier attempts on the part Of
the klansmen to leave the field were
frustrated by showers of stones
Two machines that gained the
outskirts of the field fetreated to

Personnel Board issues It's
List-Tries to Get Best
Out of Two Plans

The Personnel Classification
Board today made public class
specifications for the Federal EN-
pIoyes in the District Of Columbia
Chairman Frederick ]. Bailey
emphasized the fact that the
board has gone q considerable
distance in bridging the gulf be-
tween the Lehlbach principles Of
classification and that of the
Wood Smoot- Brown group. But
no pretense is made that the
seemingly irreconciIable differ
ences between the two have been
bridged.
Reductions From Original.
In the original report of the
Joint Congressional Commission on
Redistribution more than 1,7OO
Federal positions were rigidly de-
fined and specified. In the report
OF the Personnel Board this number
has been reduced to approximately
300.
Specifications for jobs are more
flexibly drawn than Guy Moffett,
spokesman for the Civil Service
Commission and for the Lehlbach
principle Of classification on board,
desires.
Mr.. Moffett declines to approve
the specifications promulgated by
the board. The majority report
was signed by Frederick J.. Bailey
and HI. N. Graves, representative
of the Bureau OF Efficiency on the
board.
More than 200 definitions Of typl.
cal tasks are contained in the class
specifications Of the boards report.
Differences In Detail.
The differences Of detail between
the type of classification involved
IN these definitions, and those de.
sired by the Federation of Federal
Employees and Mr.. Moffett, are
technical, but in a general way the
boards specifications permit far
more elasticity and flexibility in
the kind Of work given civil serv.
Ice employee has to do and the salary
he will receive.
The Lehlbach school of classified
ton wants specifications so rigidly
drawn that a given employee will
mt into his job as closely as a
glove fits on a hand.
The names Of the grades and
classes as finally fixed by the
board, together with the salaries
fixed in the present law for the
grades In each service, follow:
PROFESSIONAL SERVICE.
Grade l--Salary rates: $1,86O. $3.50.
