PREFER CASH.
To CHECKS

The question of salary payment
by cash or by check was dis
cussed last night at the seasons
first meeting Of the educational
forum Of Local No. 2, Federal EN-
ployes Union, with the bulk of
sentiment expressed being in favor
of cash payment.
It was pointed out that Ogden
Mills, Undersecretary of the Treas
ury, recently queried department
heads as to their preference and
found so per cent favored cash
instead Of checks. At the forum
it was emphasized that a far
greater majority Of Government
employees themselves favor cur
rency.
Speakers on the scheduled pro-
gram last night included j. Frank
lin Mayer, Louis A. Rosafy, John
w. Ginder, Belle A. Trouland, Ul-
rey j. Biller, who is chairman Of
the forum, and Joseph STAINS
field, president of local No. 2.
Other matters Of vital interest
to organized Government en-
ployes were discussed at the
round-table meeting, but were not
made public.

j. s. PAY SCALE
FAVORABLE
To $4,000
Higher CIassifiCations Show
Private Firms Pay More,
Declares Survey Report

The Government pay scale in
the professional and scientific
service compares favorably with
similar non.G Government positions
below the $4,000 level, according
to the Personnel Classification
Boards closing report on its
wage and personnel survey.
The board found, however,
that above the $500 level the
Government scale is lower and
the discrepancy becomes greater
as the importance Of the work in
creaSeS.
Other findings summarized are:
For professional and scientific
positions, the Government pay
scale is generally more liberal
than the average salaries for
similar positions in the larger
colleges and universities (not in
cluding extra-curricular income),
although these same positions
command a considerably higher
rate in some of the institutions
in question.
Exceed U. S. Pay
The salaries paid by private
concerns to their major executives
exceed those paid by the Federal
Government to positions of sin1i"
lar responsibility anywhere from
100 to 500 per cent.
There does not appear to be
justification on the basis Of com"
parison with non-Government
practice for establishing a dif.
ferent level Of pay for similar
work in different localities.
AS E. group, Federal employees
compare quite favorably as to
stability with private employees OF
comparable character, but the
Federal personnel is now much
less stable than it was during the
first decade Of this century, and
the stability is greater in the de-
partmental than in the field
service.
Hours Compare Well
The hours of work in the Fed
eral service compare favOrably
with those in general commercial
practice, except that The practice
of not working Saturday after
Moons has been, a: least until re-
Gently, more prevalent in private
industry.
Non-government employers do
not generally provide retirement
systems but in some cases Sys-
TENS even more liberal than the
Federal retirement plan are pro-
vided, such as group insurance
and cooperative stock purchasing
plans.

PUBL|C|TYLANES
WIDELY USED

After long experience, the Civil
Service Commission has learned
just how to stress each phase OF
governmental work and how
widely to advertise the different
examinations.
The country is divided into IS
civil service districts, each having
a secretary responsible for dis
seminating news Of an examina-
ton. Bulletin boards are avail
able in 5000 first and second
class postoffices over the country.
and newspapers are available for
advertising or news items in
nearly every county in the
United States. Fifty radio sta
tons also broadcast certain ex-
animation announcements.
The Civil Service Commission
sends out a routine announce
ment of a typist or filing clerk
examination and also for postal
clerks.
However, when the Govern
ment needs a technical expert,
a professional man, a scientist,
etc., the announcement is given
wide publicity. The editing and
recruiting division then sends
notices to all technical journals,
to organizations, to colleges, to
scientific institutions, to techni-
cal schools, and to every place
where the highest-grade men can
be reached.

Adherents of Plan Declare
Field Service Of U. S. Needs
Organization As Equalizer

Whatever the nature and extent
Of the opposition that the Amer
ican Federation of Labor win
bring to bear in Congress, con-
siderable optimism is shown by
those who are seeking to have the
system Of classification Of Federal
positions extended to the field
service, it was pointed out this
week.
The National Federation Of Fed
eral Employees, the PERSONAL
Classification Board, and various
other organizations are seeking
to have all the Governments field
positions classified, with salaries
and grades allotted to every field
position.
Fear ] 1wer Pay
Metal trade workers Of the
American Federation of Labor
lead their fedcration's opposition
to the plan, fearing the classifica-
ton would lower their pay scale.

sOnnel Classification Board, be-
He:'es the classification system
would simplify many problems
and remove many instances Of
unfairneSs and inequality in the
field service.
There are about 104, 900 field DO
sitionS to be classified, more than
twice the number in the District,
II Congress passes the proposed
bill.
Thousands Of the 100000 field
positions are analogous to depart
mental classified positions here,
and classification of them would
be easy.
Details Are Simple
Also, the board already has pre-
pared a genear1 system of class
specifications for 1888 classes cov-
ering the entire field service, and
carrying out details would be
simple.
Again, some Governmental
agencies, like the veterans ad-
ministration, already have their
positions classified after a fashion
with centralized control over GER
tain phases Of their work.
Process Joint One
If Congress passes the pro-
posed extension plan, full au-
thority for establishing and main
tanning the classification program
will be held by the Personnel
Classification Board, at its own
insiStence, although the clasSifi-
cation itself will be made Jointly
by the board and the various
depar tmentS.
