BILL
GIVEN TO HOUSE
Measure Carries CeIIer Rates
With April | as Date
for Taking Effect.

The House civil service committee to-
day favorably reported the Lehlbach
pay relief bill for Government en-
ployes who suffered inequalities under
the Welch pay bill last year, with "a
committee amendment making the eff
fective date for salary revisions April
l. This bill contains the feature of the
Lehlbach bill putting the responsibility
for the determination of salaries def
nitely upon the Personnel Classification
Board and entirely outside of the juris-
diction of the controller general, with
a hearing provided to satisfy employees,
which shall be matter of public rec
ord
1t carries the salary rates specifically
set by the Celler- -Brookhart bill
Chairman Lehlbach said today the
cost of these salary revisions will
amount to approximately $2,875,000. In
reply to a question, he said his last ad-
vice was that President Coolidge OBJ
jects to any legislation that will in
crease appropriations.
Two amendments offered by Repre-
sentative Woodrun of Virginia, Demo-
cratic member or the committee, were
rejected. One of these would make
compulsory upon the Personnel CLASH
fication Board the readjustment of
high-paid salaries to conform with the
intent of Congress and which were
raised under the. Controller Generals
decision.
The second amendment rejected was
to include the provision which Chair
man Lehlbach had in his original bill
for retroactive clause on those salary
increases which were delayed for several
months by the administrative officers in
the Navy and Justice Departments and
in the Veterans Bureau.

Secretary Mellon, in a letter to Chair
man Anthony Of the House appropria-
tions committee. today reiterated his
opinion that the proposal to appropriate
an additional $24 1000 to enforce pro-
hibition would not accomplish the pur-
pose intended.
1T is my understanding, the Secre-
tary wrote. that in order to make
prohibition enforcement more effective,
the Senate intended to provide addi-
tional funds for certain purposes, such
as: The relief of congestion in the
courts; increasing the fleet, equipment
and personnel of the Coast Guard; in
creaSing the effectiveness of the Gus
toms service, including the border
patrol; and increasing the personnel of
the Bureau of Prohibition and the De-
partment of Justice; and that inasmuch
as it was impossible definitely to
allocate the sums to be spent for GER
tain specified purposes at this time, the
additional funds provided were to be
ailocated as the President, In his
discretion. might decide.

to you that an examination of the
amendment reveals that it will not ac-
complish the purposes intended. The
appropriation will not be available for
any of the purposes above enumerated.
except increasing the personnel of the
Bureau of Prohibition and the Depart
ment Of Justice, nor will it be available
for the conduct of an educational pro-
gram which may have been contem-
plated.
THE amendment as adopted provides
funds for increasing the enforcement
force Granting that the language
should be construed most literally and
in the light of the desired ends which
the Senate was seeking to accomplish,
fear that the appropriation would not
be available for more than an increased
personnel.
Il bring this matter to your attention
in order that the true intent Of Com
gress may be accurately expressed be-
fore the bill is enacted into law, If it is
determined that additional funds should
be appropriated"

mathematical formulae which are

CEN. BOOTH WINS
IN COURT BATTLE
Injunction Stays Councils
Custer Until He Is Given
Hearing.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, January 30--An injunc-
ton against the high council of the
Salvation Army was granted in Chan
Gerry Court today by Justice Eve, pre-
venting it from acting on its resolution
deposing Gen. Bramwell Booth and
electing a successor until after fur
ther meeting of the council, at which
the general will have an opportunity of
being heard.
The justice said that mistake had
been made in not giving the general
an opportunity of stating his case be-
fore the council and that therefore the
resolution deposing him could not stand.
w. A. Greene. attorney for Gen.
Booth, concluded a lengthy address
which he had begun yesterday, and was
then followed by w. A. JoWitt, K. c.,
who addressed the court in the gener-
ais behalf. He told the justice that
the council had turned down an appli-
cation that he, as the generals coun-
sci, appear before it when the adjudi-
cation matter was being discussed. He
argued that the councils refusal to al
low the generals chosen advocate to
speak for him and then to depose the
general was contrary to natural JUS
tice.
Attorney Gavin Simonds, K. c., pre-
sented the councils case, deprecating
the fact that the action had been
brought and declaring that it was not
for the purpose of dissolving any doubt
about the validity of the 1904 deed poll,
as had been stated.
ut was raised to afford a plea for
the general to cling to his Office, not
withstanding the votes of the High
Council" he contended.
Dealing with the complaint that
that there had been no formulation of
charges, Simonds said that there could
be no formulation, because no charges
were made.
Justice Eve at this point remarked
that he thought it clear the only thing
the high council had considered was
the physical condition of the general.
Stewart Bevan, K. c., appearing for
Commissioner Edward Higgins, chief
of staff, said that the general certainly
had been given a hearing on paper, as
certificates by his medical men were

Department of Justice reports that

In the Howard deposits the Depart

two checks for $500 each, drawn on a

check was signed by Mrs. C. A. With
ington of Tutwiler, Miss, and was dated
June %, 1927. the same day on which
Howard recommended her as acting
poStmistress at Tutweiler. The other
$500 check, he said, was drawn against
the account of John H. Cook, United
States attorney in Mississippi.
Brookhart' Calls 1t High Price.
McGilchrist said that an inquiry
showed that Cook had explained that
he loaned the $500 to the husband of
Mrs. Wilmington and was later repaid.
Chairman Brookhart of the committee
remarked that "this seems like a high
price for postmastership in such a
small town."
The Justice Department reported also
that John T. Risher, who shares an
Office with Howard here, had deposited
about $4,000 in banks here between
January /, 1927, and October, 1927.
Senator McKellar, Democrat. Tennes-
see, demanded that Attorney General
Sargent be summoned before the COM

has not been discharged"

duced a $3.50 check drawn by A. P.
