Bill Increasing
CustodidI Pay
Awaits Signing
Boosts Low-Broeket
Minimums in 8
Grades Of Service
BY J. A. OLEARY.

Pay raises for $50 900 Government
employees In the lower brackets, of
whom about 10000 are In Washing
ton, await the Presidents signature
to the bill passed by the Senate yes
terday afternoon.
The measure Is intended to correct
inequalities In the lower grades of
the Classification Act, chiefly in the
custodial service, and Is entirely
separate from the question Of . gen.
eral wartime increase for all Gov.
ernment personnel, which is not ex-
pected to be acted upon before fall.
Main features of the bill approved
yesterday are:
Establishes a 81 200 minimum for
fun-time adult employment In the
custodial grades, which now start ct
$1,000 and 1850, In the custodial
and subprofessional services.
Raises Minimum for Guards.
Raises the minimum for public
building guards from 81 zoo to 81 500,
to check heavy turnover In these
ranks.
Makes the minimum for mechanics
In executive departments 41,860, In
stead Of 81 $50, to bring them nearer
to the pay level Of mechanics not
covered by the Classification Act.
Raises part-time charwomen from
50 to IS cents an hour, and head
charwomen from IS to 10 cents.
Adjusts rates in other pay grades
Of the crafts, protective and custo-
dial service, but not above the $500
level.
The House passed the bill more
than three weeks ago and the Sem
ate Civil Service Committee had in
tended to offer several amendments
that would have required further
House action. Senator Mead, DEM
ocrat, of New York decided yester-
day, however, to put through the
House bill unchanged to avoid pos
sibility Of tying the bill up In con-
ference until fall, in view Of the pro-
gram Of both houses to take .
series Of three-day informal recesses
for the rest Of the summer.
Senator Thomas. Democrat, Of
Oklahoma cleared the way for i'm
mediate action by withdrawing an
amendment he had offered to re-
classify the salary Of the District
recorder Of deeds from 5000 to
5000 . year.
Pay In Various Grades.
The bill changes the title of the
CuStodial Service to the Crafts,
Protective and Custodial Service,
and adjusts the salary steps Ia
