ed to.
Changes Made in Grades.
The situation was broueh about
in this way:
The ALLEGATIONS and pay schedules
submitted to Congress, and made by
It the basis Of the salary appropria.
tons, have been under review by
the Personnel Classification Board
for a number of months. The re
view has been completed, and
many changes in the grades and
status of individual workers have
been made.
Changes Of ALLEGATIONS have in
most cases meant an increase OF
salaries, only minor number OF
changes involving reductions.
Therefore, in the case, of at least
twenty important bureaus in the
Government service, there is a con.
siderable discrepancy between the
sums appropriated for salaries dur.
ing the coming fiscal year and
what will actually be required to
pay these salaries.
1t was made clear today that the
substantive law-the salaries set III
the Reconsideration act of 192S-pre-
walls in the situation, and that the
increased salaries will have to be
paid in accordance with the revised
ALLEGATIONS.
Despite this fact, however. it is
possible that Comptroller-Gen
McCarl will rule that it will he

In this case, only one course will
be open to the various bureau and
division chiefs. They will have to

ito make ends meet" at the con
clusion of the coming fiscal year
They are in the awkward position
OF having to pay the increased
salaries in accordance with the re.
visions of the Personal Classified
ton Board, but Of being limited to
the appropriation made by Congress
on the basis of the early ALLEGATIONS.
The only possible way to pay the
salaries in such situation will be
by reducing the force under them.
1t Is generally believed, however,
that some way will be found of
cutting through the red-tape and
OF creating the required deficien.
cies.
The review of the Personnel
Board was sent out to the depart.
ment today and the required
changes must be made before July
1. when the new fiscal year begins.

BILL
Solution Reached by Major
Donovan Averts Hardship
for Many Recipients

Serious hardships to sixty-six
retired Washington school teach
ers, threatened with loss of retire
ment pay temporarily through
failure of the second deficiency
appropriation bill during the last
session of Congress, has been
averted.
Way Out Found.
After several weeks of investisa.
ton and work. District Auditor
Major Daniel j. Donovan has found
a way in which the annuities lost
in the bill can legally be paid.
The deficiency bill provided funds
for the payment Of the annuittes
for a period of one month from
June to the beginning Of the new
fiscal year, on July 1. when it de.
veloped that the appropriation in
the regular supply bill was insult
ficient.
The sixty-six retired teachers
faced the loss Of their annuity, for
the majority of. them the only source
OF income, for one month. The pay
ment would have been resumed July
l, when the new appropriation bill
funds became available.
Will Be Paid In Full.
AS result of the solution reached
by Ma5or Donovan, they will be
paid June 30 their full annuities for,
the present month, leaving a deficit
in District funds for Congress to
meet at the next session.

FOREIGN SHIPS LOSE
INCOME TAX BATTLE
Treasury Rules Lines Must Pay on
Revenue From Traffic 0rigi-
mating in U. S.

Foreign steamship interests have
lost their three year fight to avoid
payment of a portion of the taxes on
income derived from transportation
OF traffic originating within the
United States. The Treasury last
night made public an opinion recent
ly submitted by Attorney General
Daugherty upholding the govern
ments right to tax income from
sources within the United States and
reaffirming a ruling handed down by
the Department OF Justice in 1920.
The ruling applies in general way
to other foreign corporations. but
more specifically TO shipping. mas
much as the right to tax the in
come of the corporations doing busi-
ness here-as differentiated from the
act of transporting-has not been
challenged The fight was begun
shortly after passage of the 1921
revenue act and the question finally
was put up to the Department Of
Justice late last summer
Foreign shipping interests contended
that the tax should apply only TO a por-
tion OF the earnings from transport
ing a cargo in a foreign bot
tom to a foreign shore. The Treas
urys view, as now expressed in a de-
cision which becomes binding upon
revenue collectors. was that the law
applied to the whole operation. The
shlp-owners made the same claim
after the 1918 revenue act was pass
ed and that contention was held with
out merit also
Treasury officials have estimated
that to grant the claim of the ship
ping interests might have cut off an
nually fifty million dollars.
