Recommend suitable changes.
The committee said it believes
that this problem is of such i'm
portance that If legislation is
required to solve the problem,
the proper procedures should be
initiated"
Chairman Hayden Of the
Senate committee is reported

feet that the unbudgeted pay

ers has on the programs of the
various defense agencies as well
Assother bureaus.
The pay of Federal per diem
employees is adjusted by wage
boards based on comparable
pay of private industry workers
insthe locale where the Govern
ftent per diem workers are en-
ployed. The Senate committee
noted that these pay raises
have amounted to approximate
" SO per cent in the past seven
years. Another problem Is that
they are now made retroactive
tos45 days after the start Of a
wage survey.
The Senate unit declared
that because Of the continuing
round Of per diem pay raises,
It Is impossible for the defense
and other agencies, as well as
the Congress, to anticipate
what the payroll costs of blue
collar workers will come to in
any given fiscal year. AS a re-
suit, agency programs are i'm
paired and. disrupted" and
orderly planning" impeded the
committee said.
What the Senate committee
has in mind was not disclosed.
Any attempt to have Congress
set Federal per diem employe
salaries-such as in the case of
classified and postal workers
would be strongly resisted by
Government blue collar workers
and their union representatives.
Since 1889 they have Jared
much better than classified and
postal workers in the matter of
pay raises, since their pay is
directly tied up with the salaries
Of the heavily unionized craft
employees in private industry.
They want to retain their
present system.
Other legislative alternatives
seeking to better control or
budget pay raises given blue
collar workers or budgeting for
them are being considered.

The commercial and industri-
al growth of Chardon Is reflected

ril A. May, Regional Vice Presi-
dent, Cleveland, Ohio office Of
his figures on physical count
Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. Basing
of the November 1858 Dun &
Bradstreet Reference Book, May
states that in 1858, there were
ITS businesses listed in Chardon.
This figure includes manufacture
ers, wholesalers, retailers, and
service businesses. Because this
total does not include some SER
vice businesses such as real
estate and stock brokers, barber
and beauty shops, 1t is evident
that the number of active busin-
esses actually exceeds the It's
above.
During 1859, Dun and Bradst-
rect estimates that they viii be
required to make approximately
90 changes in the hstings of bus

Such changes viii result from adj
