April 27.—In a state ment issued Sunday, Governor McLean defends the appointment of the sal ary and wage commission authorized by the 1925 session of the general assembly to fix the pay of all sub ordinate state employes and charges “some designing persons” with at tempting to discredit his work. “Unfortunately, there seems to be either a very great misunderstand ing of tl e purpose of the salary and wage commission,” says the Govern or's statement, “or a systematic effort on the part of a few to discredit the work of the commission. Members of the last general assembly know very well I recommended the creation of the salary and wage commission and tl e public, I think, understood at the time.” “The effort on the part of some designing persons to discredit in ad vance the work of tie commission by trying ^to create the impression that the purpose of the commission is to arbitrarily reduce all salaries or to fix a flat salary for each class of work without regard to tile ele ments of experience, ability and hourse of service wholly unjusti fied.” Governor McLean in his statement makes it plain that the commission will set up a different standard to be applied to loci nical, professional and scientific workers in state em ploy than to the large classes of or dinary w rktrs doing stenographic and clerical work.
