REPORTS FUND BILL
OF F4DEPARTMENTS 4
House Committee Asks $685.
$40, for State, Com
merCe, Labor, Justice.

Carrying a total of s66, ,s4s,160,
which is an increase of s3,150,136 over
the appropriation for the current fis
cal year, the appropriation bill for the
departments of State, Justice, Com
merce, and Labor for the fiscal year
beginning July l, next, was reported
to the House today.
This bill includes an increase of
S4SS,O52 for employees in these four
depa rtments in Washington on ac-
count of the classification act.
The bill also includes S60,436 for
the National Training School for
Boys, which is listed among the penal
institutions.
The appropriation for detection and
prosecution of crimes has been in
creased S56722. due partly to the re-
noval of the identification bureau
from Leavenworth, Kan, to Washing
ton. necessitating the addition of
twenty-three employees. and partly TO
the increased amount of the work of
inspection of judicial officers.
Increase for Commerce.
The bill carries for the Department
of Commerce the total s23,769, los.
j L.
current appropriation and $277,920
less than the budget estimate. How
ever, $3,500,000 of the appropriation
recommended is for the census of
agriculture, which was not appro-
priated for last year, and if that fig
ure is omitted from the calculation
there is an actual decrease for the
Department of Commerce under the
current appropriation of s1.525,S52.
The estimates for the Department
of Commerce exceeded the current ap
preparation by S4,S40,S16. Deducting
the estimate of $500 600 for the CEN
suS of agriculture, there was a net
increase for comparable items of ST.
340,Sl6. OF this increase the budget
estimates had accorded to the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce all
but $251,544 The House appropria-
tions comr ittee decided that the in
creases for that bureau were entirely
out of proportion.
Increases in Pay.
Increases in salary in the State,
Justice, Commerce and Labor Depart
ments for employees in the District of
Columbia due to classification are
shown in the bill as follows: State
Department. SIS, 200; Justice Depart
ment, $60,339; Commerce Department,
$30S,593; Labor Department, S44,720.
The House appropriations COM
mittee recommends the same limita
tion upon salaries to be paid in the
District of Columbia under the claSsi-
fication act as carried in all the reg
ular appropriation bills for 1925.
This limitation averages the salaries
within grade or class and prevents
all salaries being paid at the maxi
mum for the grade or class.
On Basis of New Law.
The classification act approved
March 5, 1928, provided that the es-
Inmates of appropriations contained
