Legislation, Involving Person
mel Issues, to Be CoDsid-
cred, BY PRECEDENT

Legislation relating to salaries
and the classification of the Federal
personnel, proposed by the Fsder'
alton of Federal Employees and other
sources, will be considered by
President Coolidge in the near
future
In connection with the framing
of the budget, personnel issues come
before the President, particularly
the salary scales and the reduction
in the number of civil service
employees. Adequate retirement
provision for the Government work
ers always has been advocated by
the Chief Executive.
The major issue for the Federal
personnel in the coming session of
Congress is involved in proposed
changes in the structure of the
Personnel Classification Board. in
Guiding the Lehlbach plan to con-
solidate it with the Civil Service
Commission. The Budget Bureau
always has been ready to sever it's
connection with the board, it is
understood. and it is possible that
the Bureau of Efficiency may
agree to a modification Of the
existing classification act, which
will also permit it to retire from
the present tripartite tribunal
Willing to Retire
Herbert B. Brown, director of
the Efficiency Bureau, has re-
peatedlys stated he was willing to
have his group retire from the
classification board provided this
retirement was, not given the color
and appearance of being kicked
out"
The question of larger salaries
for the rank and file of Govern.
ment workers, also VIII be brought
before the consideration of the SEN
ate by Senator Couzens. newly Sc
lected chairman of the Senate Civil
Service Committee. The Fedora
ton Of Federal Employees recently
went on record as advocating q
minimum wage of 81 800 for all
adult clerical workers. 1t is not
likely that legislation of this type
will obtain serious consideration
from Congress at the present time.
AIH6IIuIIlcHtS 10 dc OppuSGu
The proposed amendments to the
~average clause" which now regu-
Iates Federal salaries in the Various
bureaus, probably viii be rejected
by the Administration leaders in
Congress. including Senator Smoot.
Objectionable as this provision is to
the Government workers. especially
those whose efficiency ratings
entitle them to promotions, there is
no likelihood that it will be wiped
off the statute books at the present
time.
The Personnel Classification
Board is now on the verge of pos
sible liberalization of its policy in
connection with class specifications.
New specifications are now being
drawn by experts, and if they are
adopted may eliminate manykof the
alleged inequalities of Allegations
against which the Federation Of
Federal Employees have protested.
