the Federation are confident that
when the regular session convenes
in December they will be able to-
"get the ear both of committees

The primary objective of the Fed
Grafton. as it is being outlined ON
the hill by Steward, is legislation
providing a minimum compensation
of 81, 500 a year for every fun time

In line with this the Federation
is seeking a survey of Government

up classification specifications based
upon actual services rendered. Suen'
a survey is now in progress in the
field services.
The employees will also seek the
establishment of a central personnel
agency to handle all personnel mat.
ters and abolish the several agencies
now having charge. which the Fed
Grafton claims are working At
cross purposes"

by Brown in his report
"Of course. / have taken no cog.

The traction. company head struck
back by declaring that the views
in Browns report placed there by
accountants for the Interstate Com.

Brown condemned the car com.
pany for overstating some ac,
counts and undertaking others.

Yesterday Clayton pinned Ham
down to an admission that new
