With. almost three years OF
economy deduction ended by vir.
tue of the recent Congressional
restoration action, Federal en-
ployes today are receiving their
final clipped" pay and return
ing to their desks secure in the
knowledge they will hence forth
be given 100 per cent return for
their efforts.
Since June 80, 1882, when the
Republican administration I'M
posed the first 1-3 cut via fur
loughs, Federal and District
workers have endured reductions
that promoted a rising wave of
protest, based primarily on the
premise that private business in
variably follows the Government
lead.
It is estimated that the Gov
ernment's payroll in Washing
ton for the executive branches,
excluding military, judicial and
legislative units, will jump on the
fifteenth more than $750,000 per
month or very nearly 100000
fiScally.
With restoration an accom-
plished fact, legislative propon-
ents of the classified service
have turned their efforts toward
abolition of section 213 of the
economy act-the married per-
sons clause establishment for
annual and sick leave for all
Federal workers, blanketing OF
emergency workers into civil ser.
vice and general retirement
benefits.
