step without prejudice" in order to
throw the whole question into confer
ence. where more information would be
available and further discussion could
be had.
Notifications Suggested.
In the course Of the Senate hearings
on the agricultural bill various modifi-
cations were suggested to render the
original House restrictions more flexible
by leaving some discretion to depart
ment heads. The Senate Committee,
however, decided to eliminate the House
provisions in their entirety and leave
the question for final settlement in con-
ference.
As the House continued to add the
same language to other appropriation
bills, it appeared that the real test as
would occur when the conference re-
port on the agricultural bill was
brought in.
The question remains for consider
alton In the conference report on the
agricultural measure, but the action of
the House yesterday in reversing its
previous stand, by striking the restric-
tions out of the Treasury-PoSt Office
bill, will strengthen the position of
those who believe these provisions
should be left out entirely.
The promotion and vacancy restric-
tions also still remain at issue in the
Interior BILL which will come before
the Senate for action as soon as the
Agriculture bill Is passed and sent to
conference, probably by Tuesday.
It Is safe to presume that whatever is
done on the first bill to be finally en-
acted will be followed on all the other
appropriation bills.
When the action of the Senate Ap-
propriationS Committee in eliminating
the House restrictions from the Agri-
cultural bill came before the Senate for
approval several days ago Senator
Trammel, Democrat, of Florida, declared
he was opposed to any curtailment of
salaries of employees In the lower or
medium classification grades, but would
not object to placing the limitation on
promotions above $4,000. He according
" obtained permission to modify the
House language by combining the ban on
promotions to So 600 or over. After the
Senate had consented to this modifica-
ton in the House language, however, it
followed the recommendation of its Ap-
preparations Committee by striking out
the restriction as amended entirely.
