This subject will not come up for con-
sideration during the remainder OF the
extra session because no general legiS-
lation outside of the tariff bill will be
taken up, and because the civil service
committee has not been organized, and
will not be until after the new Congress
meets in December.
The final report OF the Personnel
Classification Board on Redistribution
Of the Government employees III the
field service will be used, according to
Mr.. Lehlbach's plan, for applying SINH
lar schedules and job specifications Tor
Government employees in the District
Of Columbia.
He emphasized that there is no pur-
pose of expectation of q reduction IN
salary anywhere throughout either the
field service or the departmental service
In Washington.
Chairman Lehlbach believes that
with the final report Of the Personnel
Classification Board, the legislative
committees of Congress will have avail
able all of the information needed after
careful study to draft a uniform pay
schedule Of well balanced salaries for
all of those during this particular line
of work, no matter" in what bureau or
department the individual employe may
be assigned.
Chairman Iehlbach secuted the idea
Of passing any bills such as were con-
sidered at the last session Of Congress
for adjusting certain Inequalities and
injustices that resulted from the passage
Of the WEIGH pay bill, but stressed the
necessity for correcting all such Short
comings In the civil service law In one
comprehensive codification, which would
be q substantial basis for future legls-
lation that time might show needed In
the civil service system.
MIR. Lehlbach' mentioned that the pro-
posed code should contain q series OF
lions. hearings on questions in dispute
and all phases Of personal administra-
ton, so that ready reference could be
made to the exact law instead OF the
confusion existing at present in search
ing through rsiumberlesS volumes con-
taining piecemeal legislation.

House committee a compilation Of ex-
iSting civil service laws.
Mr.. Lehlbach sees no reason why the
National Federation of Federal En-

vision and codification which he
proposes.
After the final report has been re-
ceived from the Personnel Classification
Board on its survey of the field service
and after the House commute had been
organized in the new Congress, Mr..

Employees and other agencies who have
made close studies Of the personnel
problems so that the draft of the pro-

of the best practical knowledge on the
subject.

vision and codif1cation would be re-
ported out of the House committe until
