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

seen a supplementary pay bill for
-the balance of the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1947 passed by the Senate
as introduced (providing for a 20
average increase for the "lower"
brackets for the last 6 months of
the 19467 fiscal year), amended by
the House after strenuous argument
to provide increases ranging up
30; has already seen the Senate
reject the House amendment and
throw the bill into conference; has
seen the Senate adopt the conference
report which would have appropriated
within an approximate $100,000 of
.the estimated $8,150,000 additional
oitionai salary payments cover a
longer period than 6 months and by
having the salary additions called
"emergency bonuses" instead of
"emergency salaries", and the pro-mth
ponents of the House amendment got
within a very few dollars per month
in each bracket for which they we're

ference reports explicitly and sol

report, nor any vote on either report,
