NRARULED' OUT
Of j. 8, JOBS

Comptroller General j. r. Nc
Carl held in a ruling today, ap-
plying to foremen and other civil
ian employees in Federal prisons,
that if a five-day week is insti-
tuted by cutting out Saturday
work, the employees lose a full days
pay unless they have annual leave
due them.
The ruling is in effect an exten-
sion Of one made last April with
respect to the Government Print
ing Office, but presumably it will
be a precedent for similar situa-
tlons in navy yards and arsenals,
where efforts are now being made
to prevent deduction of a full
days pay for elimination of four
hours work.
The ruling comes at a time
when the case of the Navy Yard
and arsenal employees has been
put before President Roosevelt on
that very point. Probably action
by Congress will be necessary to
set aside the necessity for the full
days pay reduction.
Attorney General Homer S.
Cummings placed the question be-
fore McCarl by asking what pro-
cedure should be adopted in max
ing deductions from the pay of
civilian prison employees who are
put on a five-day basis.
McCarl holds that NRA does
not apply to civilian employees of
the Federal Government, though
in recent decision on public
works funds it was held that GER
tain restrictions on hours, ETC., in
construction projects apply both
to Federal employees and others,

EXCESSIVE PAY

JOBS BARRED
Limitations Imposed by VAR
ious Units Will Prevent Wild
Salaries of War Days
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

Salaries in the emergency or
ganizations now being set up in
the Federal structure will not be
allowed to run wild, it was made
evident today. Various checks
already have appeared, and in
fluential Members Of Congress
are showing interest in the Situa-
tion.
On the last occasion Of creating
emergency Federal organizations,
during the World War, salaries
in the units were soon completely
out of line with those in eStab-
liShed bureaus. There was a
sound economic reason for this,
since salaries in the older units
were fixed. and those in the
newer organizations were deter
mined by supply and demand, at
a time when competent help was
scarce.
High Salaries Paid
AS result, at a time when
almost any typist could get $1,10O
or more in one of the wartime
units, older bureaus were trying,
through Civil Service examina-
tions, to get technically trained
college graduates for as little as
$540 and $720 a year.
Conditions are now regarded by
Federal personnel officers as quite
different. inasmuch as there is no
scarcity of competent help. Able
employees for the Government can
be obtained at lower salaries than
at any time in years.
Three Units Act
Already action has been taken
in three emergency units to keep
salaries in line with those of the
classified service generally. Rep
reSentatives of the Home Own

Tennessee Valley Authority have
conferred with the Civil Service
Commission to ascertain general
