SENATE GETS PAY
BILL TOMORROW
Brookhart Measure Passed, but
House Amendments to
Come Up.

The Brookhart bill to correct in
equalities in the salaries of Government
employees, which has passed both
branches of Congress, may be completed
tomorrow, when the Senate considers
the amendments made by the House.
If the Senate concurs in the House
amendments, the bill would go directly
to the President for signature. The
other alternative would be to send the
bill to conference.
Senator Dale of Vermont, chairman
of the civil service committee, Is dis
posed to accept the House amendments,
but will let the question rest until to-
morrow to await the return to the city
Of Senator Brookhart of Iowa, author
of the bill.
The purpose of the bill is to move up
one more step in their respective grades
those employees who were advanced only
one salary step LCSer the Welch law two
years ago In most cases this will mean
an increase of an additional $50 a year
to clerks who received only $50 two
years ago. The bill benefits some en-
ployeS in the field service as we'll as in
washington and represents increases
totafng about 81 1,500,0 year.
One of the House amendments re-
stores to the personnel classification
board the authority to review alloca-
tions, which authority was taken from
1T by a decision OF the controller gen.
eral. Another amendment eliminates
the retroactive feature of the increases.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, June 26.-Virginia Sun

in Circuit Court here this morning
when Judge Walter C. Mccarthy re-
verSed a decision of the Police Court
justice in the case of c. B. Rosenberg
er, who was recently convicted in the
lower court for painting his house on
Sunday.
In his decision Judge Mccarthy held
that person is not engaged in his
trade or calling If he is receiving no
remuneration for the work that is be-
ing done. In this particular case, Ros-
enberger was painting his own house.
When first arrested the defendant
was arraigned before Judge Harry r.
Thomas, in Police Court, and adjudged
guilty of a violation of a law of the
State which prohibits working on Sun
day. His case was Immediately taken
in hand by the National Association
Opposed to Blue Laws and he was rep
resented in court this morning by j. j.
McGinnis, vice president of the Wash
ington branch, and H. M. McCaffrey,
State chairman of the Virginia branch
of the national association.
In their defense these attorneys cited
the fact that in the law under which
Rosenberger was charged, it is pro-
vided that violatorS must be engaged
in their trade or calling. Judge Nc
Carthy held that no matter what Ros-
enberger's trade might be during the
week, he was not engaged in it while
working without pay on Sunday. The
