MAXIMUM P AY
REMAINS SAME
UNDER BILL

Federal employees now receiving
tho maximum pay of their grades
will be. denied increases under the
terms of the much modified and
amended WEIGH bill, which probab bly,
will be voted on in the House Mon
day. it was revealed today.
Tho discrimination against en-
ployes now receiving the maximum
pay in the various grades was made
Intentionally by the House Civil
Service Committee, it is understood
in order to get through an increase
of pay in the most needed cases
without making the total cost too
large.
The bill, as reported to the House
will provide $4,000, 600 in salary
increase to $4,000 Federak and
District employees in Washington
The measure is far from an ideal
piece of legisla ton. in the opinion
of classification experts, who are
convinced, however, that it is the
best that can be hoped for at this
session.
In grades l. 2 and Of the profess
sional service and and 10 in
elusive in the clerical service. the
maximum rates OF pay have not
been raised.
The only changes in these gra des
were increases in the minimum sal
aries which will take care OF mos.
of the employees so classified.
