PAGE EIGHT THfi PERQUIMANS WEEKLY,' HEBjf fOISD,' N. C.t PJ-JDAY, JANUARY 31,1947. WEEKLY LEGISLATIVE SU;,"liU2Yl NOTE This is one of a series of weekly summaries of the work of the 1947 session of the General Assembly of North Carolina. These summaries are not intend-, ed as a report upon all legisla tion, but are confined to discus sions of matters of general in terest or of major importance. Even before the 1945 session of the General Assembly adjourned sine die, observers were expressing the opinion that the issue concerning the pay of State employees in general and public school teachers in par- cost to the Genetal Fun o .the sup. piementary pay - as ambiwied in the House; has 'also, seen th .House by a decided and apparently deterrtini ed majority reject UieBam'''onfer ence report because if did not give' the lower bracket employees, '(those now earning Up to $2,700' per year), and especially public school teachers, the percentage increase provided by the House amendment; fyas seen,- ad ditional conferees appointed iff both House and Senate; has seen those conferees bring in a report which was promptly adopted by both House and Senate, .which report was a victory for all and a defeat for none: the ticular would occupy much of the time and attention of the 1947 legis-1 "administration forces" succeeded in lature. The opinion of those obser- holding off an Act which would seem vers has already been more than to provide increases above 20 in borne out: this session has already the lower brackets by having the ad ployees' pay for the next bienium Air this, of course, was technically unfinished business of the 1945 ges sion, but it may have proved to have been something like a testing-ground fdr this session: in spite of the dec laration of both conference reports on the supplementary pay bill that no precedents were being-set, both sides acted quite ' definitely as if a prin ciple were involved, and up to now, neither side has admitted1 either by word or deed that it has abandoned its principle. And in the meanwhile, opposing and even confusing lines are being formed: the administration seems determined to hold the "20 line;" the "regular" education forces seem to be equally determined to bend it, at least upward to 30 for the "lower" (teacher) brackets, while the "South Piedmont Omiin" havinir not only organized into a coherent I Mr. and, Mrs, W.
