About Sc. clerks III the fiji
nance division Of the War De-
partment will be deprived Of
their salary increases under
the WEIGH act on August !,
owing to an apparent mistake
in the Interpretation of the
law.
A circular letter recently sent out
by Secretary Of war Davis stated
that ali promotions in the finance
division should be strictly limited
by the estimates sent to the budget
bureau BY the department heads.
This circular was responsible for
action BY Gen. II. Il. Carmichael
Immediately eliminating all the pay
advances already made under the
McCarI Interpretation Of the WEIGH
law.
The finance division chief entirely
overlooked the fact that pay raises
under the new law go into effect
automatically and have nothing to
do with promotions which are
entirely different matters Of admin
istration.
A protest will be made shortly
to Secretary of War Davis over
General Carmichael's ruling which
is expected to be speedily rectified.
However the SO clerks in the de-
partment probably will have to wait
until August Is or possibly Septem-
Der ! TO receive the salary advances
which are coming to them. 1t was
said today BY officials that the
clerical force in the finance division
is not worrying over the situation
In ais much as they already know
that an unfortunate error has been
made.
