Or if the democrats run third that would make Dawes and Wheel CT the senate candidates. It's a fore- gone conclusion that Dawes would get all the republican votes and also in preference to Wheeler-the votes of all the conservative demo- crats, eecting him. The house re- publicans certainly wouldn't help elect Davis to prevent this.

TOO MUCH OF A IDEAL"

But if the progressives run third, the senate's choice will be between Dawes and Bryan. The conservative republican congressman might con ceivably say: We're deadlocked anyway-can't elect Coolidge. Let's vote for Davis, to keep Bryan out" But in return for helping Davis they surely would insist on the senate democrats help in making Dawes president. Now Bryan, if the democrats stuck by him, certainly would win, for the progressives would prefer him to Dawes. It isn't believabe that any democratic senators would dare to desert, under such circumstances. It would be too obvious--and too dangerous--a con- servative deal"

grade in which the average has al
ready been exceeded.
"In further explanation OF the rule
continued the decision, ''it may be
stated that Congress sought by the
average provision which it inserted
in every appropriation act for per-
sonal services in the District of CO.
lumbia, subject to the classification
act, to absolutely control the ex-
penditure of these appropriations for
personal services in every grade. The
exceptions noted were only for allo-
cations of positions held June 80.
1924, in accordance with the rules
fixed by the classification act
Cites Rates i'm Law.
That there might be promotions
from one grade to another and yet
result in lesser compensation is
shown by the fact that the minimum
compensation of grade at times
overlaps the compensation of the next
lower grade, so that higher grade
positions may be paid less than a
lower grade position. 1t is the view
of this Office that subsequent to July
l, 1924, when not a matter of allo-
cation, the excess in the average is
for elimination as speedily as pos
sible, and, to that end, adjustments
largest possible elimination or lower
ing of the excess. Accordingly every
new change in such a grade, whether
by transfer, reinstatement, promo
ton, reduction or whatever the
change may be, must necessarily be
at the minimum salary rate of tho
grade"
Government officials in high posi-
tion who disagree with the position
1f
day in saying that they differed with
the controller principally over his
Interpretation as expressed in the
terms ''aS speedily as possible" They
pointed out that it would be advisable
to reduce the average of salaries
gradually, but not "as speedily as
possible"
Decision Called Unfair.
Critics of the controllers position
declared in their opinion 1t would
be within the law to promote, under
such conditions, by dropping an en-
ploye only one step" In the scale of
salaries, instead of sending him
down to the bottom of the list
1T would be obviously unjust" said
this official, ito move him up and re-
duce his salary as far as possible"
Injection of the new decision into
the classification situation promised
today to develop a snarl of unusual
situations, in which departments
wish to promote employees, but do not
wish to cut their salaries. 1t was
pointed out that usually the best
person to promote to a vacancy of
Importance is often one of the most
efficient and best paid persons in the
grade Immediately below. Where the
two grades overlap in salaries and
the average provision is violated, as
is often the case, such promotions
would result in cuts in salary.
Many Questions Raised.
What will the officials in charge
do? Will they allow the employe to
do the work at his old salary, keep
ing the matter from the personnel
board, in violation of
the law? Will they promote at a |
reduction in pay? What will the
board do if it discovers
are assigning work sup
posed to be in one grade to a person
in another grade?
These questions and a horde of
others have been raised by the new
decision and provided today the sub
ject of discussion and argument in
many corners of the Government
service.
