ers and who receive pensions or
compensation may have to pay in
come tax on their government aid
hereafter.
The senate has approved the
recommendation of its finance COM
mittee to eliminate the present ex-
emption for such payments. The
bill. as passed by tie house. con-
tinued this exemption. however, and
the final decision will be made by
the conference committee after the
senate passes the bill. The finance
committee said Of this charge:
Your committee sees no valid
reason for continuing the exemption
in case Of pensions and World war
compensation payments granted by
existing law, since it is believed that
the credits for personal exemption
and dependents are adequate to
take care OF virtually all cases and
that such amounts. If and to the ex-
tent they constitute income. should
bear their amount of the tax" /.

CLASSIFICATION
ISSUE NEARS
. SOLUTION
A. r. of |. Convention in Ohio
Is Slated to AmiCabIy
Settle Matter

Classification of field en-
ployes-the m a tier which
caused the National Fedora
ton of Federal Employees to
secede from the American
Federation Of Labor-is slated
to be amicably settled when
the issue comes before the
annual convention of the A.
F. of L. at Cincinnati, No
vember 21. @
President William Green con-
tends he has repeatedly favored
classification Of all Federal field
employees who want it and are
legally entitled to it and are
not under jurisdiction Of labor
wage boards. The new American
Federation of Government EN-.
ployes, organized by the A. F.
Of L., concurs in this attitude.
Charges by the A. F. of l..
that the National Federation
sought classification of employees
outside OF its Jurisdiction and
admitted them to membership,
and counter-charges by the Ma
tional Federation that the A. F..
Of L. was inconsistent in its
attitude on classification, have
caused q year-long controversy
and misunderstanding between
them.
David r. Glass, first vice presi.
dent Of the American Fedora
ton Of Government Employees,
will attend the A. F. of L. con-
vention, and will ask formal
support Of the A. F. of L. for
an extensive classification pro.
gram in the field. This is ex-
pected to be granted.

WOMAN CLERK
JOB EXPERT

If there's any truth to the old
adage that to get a job done right,
give it to a busy person, Miss
Helen A. Chase, chief of the In
formation Office of the Civil Serv,
ice Commission, does a lot of
things right.
Since 1917 she has had the in
formation post, and, with it, has
been assistant chief Of the CORE
spondence section. AT y2Tious
times she has had additional work
thrust upon her. and she has just
relinquished the Craftsmanship OF
the executive council of the EN-;
ployes Welfare Association Of the
commission. She held this post
q year.
She is now helping to promote
the American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees. And when any
body has some extra work, Miss
Chase may be called on to do it.
Succeeding Miss Anna Black,
who resigned during the war, Miss
Chase has amased wealth of in
formation about Federal jobs, how
to get them, how to keep them,
and how to advance in them. The
Commissioners regard her as
walking encyclopedia.
