Final Pay Bill Action
By House Expected
Tomorrow
Approved by Senate;
Debate on Overtime Up
To $4,000 Class Likely

The House probably will take final
action tomorrow on the conference

provision permitting overtime in
creases for those earning between
$1,000 and $4,000 year. but indi-
cations are the conference agree
ment will be accepted.
For most departmental employees,
the bill continues the basic features
of the temporary overtime formula,
under which 21.6 per cent increase
has been in effect since December
for 48-hour week. Under the new
BILL however, a fiat $500 year will
be paid after May in the low sal

For those not subject to overtime
principally in the legislative and
judicial branches-a fat $500 also
would be paid on salaries under
$4,000 and a fiat IS per cent on sal
aries of $4,000 or more. All these
non-overtime employees get 10 per
cent under the temporary law.
In all cases where the base salary
is more than $4,000 year, the in
crease will be computed only on the
first $4,000. whether on the over
