EMPLOYEES LOSE
PAY RAISE GROUND
Senate Conferees Yield to
House on Cutting Interior
Bill Amendment.

Government employees lost ground
yesterday in the fight for a systematic
program of salary increases during the
next fiscal year for workers in under
average grades, when the Senate con-
fereeS on the Interior Department sup
ply bill yielded to the House by agree
ing to strike out the Senate salary
amendments.
The Senate has added similar salary
amendments to all of the other de-
partmental appropriation bills, but it
has been generally conceded that what
ever decision is reached on the first
bill passed will be adhered to on the
other bills.
May Await Next Year.
If the Interior conference report is
agreed to by the Senate and House,
therefore, it is believed the contro-
versy regarding these increases will be
over until next year.
Even with the. Senate amendments
eliminated it will be possible for de-
partment heads to grant some increases
within grades during the next fiscal
year by using lapsed balances resulting
from designations and deaths, the
amount depending on the extent to
which such balances accrue. Increases
will not be possible, however, to the
extent contemplated by the Senate
amendments.
The Senate amendments were in
tended to meet the budget recommen-
dalton that all under-average cases be
taken care of in a three-year program
and that a start be made by appropri-
ating for 80 per cent of these cases In
the pending supply bills.
Aggregate of $4,SOO,OOO.
For the next fiscal year these in
creaSes, under the Senate program,
would have aggregated $4,3O0,000.
Until yesterday the Government SAL
airy increase battle had been waged in
connection with the Treasury-PoSt Of
fce bill, but developments in the con-
ference report on the Interior bill yes
terday mean the final decision on SAL
aries will come in that measure. When
the question was before the Senate a
few days ago Senator Mcclellan, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee, made a strong ap-
peal in support of retaining the Senate
salary amendments.
