be illegal, since it would give them
a greater annual salary than their
jobs pay.
Budget Burean and General
Accounting Office officials say
these fears are not justified. The
law provides for biweekly salary
payments and does not set an an
nual maximum on an employees
salary, if there should happen to
be a 9th pay period. This will
even itself up in the long run.
Anyway. Congress has specifi-
cally provided funds to pay for the
extra payday in the year.
Therefore, say the Governments s
legal experts, Federal employees
will receive their salary checks
without any hitch.
BACK PAYMENTS The
United States Court of Claims has
handed down decision that Fed
eral per diem and hourly employees
are entitled to back pay in cases
of illegal dismissals or demotions,
the same as classified workers.
The case involved a group of
Navy Department per diem (blue
collar workers, who had been de-
noted in violation of the Veterans
Preference Act. The Civil Serv-
ice Commission recommended that
they be restored to their former
positions. and the Navy subse-
quently did restore them to their
higher-grade jobs.
The Navy Department, how
ever, baked at paying them the
difference in salary they had lost
while being in the lower-grade
Jobs. 1t was contended that pei
diem workers are compensated
only for the time they actually
work and at the rate set up fol
the job. Therefore, the Govern.
ment contended, these employees
could not be given back pay, as
in the case of classified employees
whose salaries go on regardless o1
holidays or sick leave.
The court, however, ruled thi.
was not the case. Per diem work.
ers have the same right to bach
pay as classified employees. it de.
clared.
The court pointed out that pei
diem employees in private industry
have been awarded back pay BY
the National Labor Relations
Board. Furthermore. Congress hac
no distinction in mind between
Federal classified and per diem
workers, the decision held.
| "a per diem employe has, II
fact, a reasonable prospect of con.
tinuity of work and pay" the de-
cision declared. when he is de-
NOTED and his pay reduced with
out compliance with the require
ments of applicable statutes. w

Commission S Ruling
Case Will Be Set
In Kinds County
Circuit Court

Attorneys for the Illinois Cen
trail said Wednesday they would
file in Kinds County Chancery
Court an appeal from the ruling
made by the Mississippi Public
Service Commission April 18th
following a special hearing held
IN Durant On that date which
ordered the &c to make Durant
conditional stop for the Panama
Limited
The case will be heard at the
next regular term of Circuit
Court in Kinds county, probably
in September
a $1,000 bond has been filed
by the railroad and there will be
no changes made in the Pana-
mas schedule pending the hear
ing.
The last known similar case
was at Magnolia, Mississippi,
where a verdict was found by
the lower court in favor of the
Commissions ruling. This was
about 1922 but the Commission
lost ont in the appeal taken by
the Railroad to the United States
Supreme Court.
At that time the U. S. Supreme
Court ruled making Magnolia a
stop for the train involved in the
proceedings would put an undue
burden on interstate commerce.
