Chiefs and scb chtefs ! TAKE BIG PAY INCREASES Government Clerks in Open Rebellion Alleged Favoritism in Salaries. Special to Philadelphia Record. Washington, I>. C.. Aug. 4.-r-Govern ment clerks in Washington are in open ! rebellion over what they consider the in i justice involved in the administration of 1 the Wood-Smoot reclassification law for , government departments. They have i just drawn their first month’s pay under the rearrangement of salaries and they are up in arms over the manner in which the bureau of efficiency schedule, pre pared by Herbert D. Brown, a relative | of Senator Reed Smoot, has been substi l tuted for the grades which Congress, pro | vided as a guide for making allocations of pay under the new act. There has been a systematic trimming i down of the basic pay of the low-sal -1 nried worker* and an invariable jncreise [ in. the salaries of chiefs and sub-chiefs i and others who were instrumental in 1 lobbying the new law through Congress. [ The result is that, while money has been i saved by taking it away from those who 1 need it thC worst, it is reallocated and | reabsorbed by the higher-paid workers, i with no resultant benefits to the gov | eminent. The morale of the trained departmen tal workers, who really carry on tie business of the government, has been . shot to pieces. Old-time employees of | the government, who are in position to observe the feeling that has been worked up over the matter say that not within 20 years has the morale of the govern ment clerks been so low as it is today, following the discovery of how they have beSn hoodwinked by persons in authority who have been telling them they would receive better paftt after the reclassifica tion law was passed. It is now believed the Coolidge ad ministration will go to the country with unjustified claims of money saved the 'taxpayers by reduction of departmental expenses, which claims can only be sup ported by a juggling of the figures. There is ‘little, if any, net decrease in the amount of money required (o keep the departments going. The salary cuts prove to be the most expensive orte ever .enacted as a matter of “efficiency and economy” because it will probably drive from the government service some of the most experienced and faithful of its em ployees. The joker in the situation is that Con gress, in passing the bill, meant to giv# 1 the workers a raise of pay, based on merit. There were more than 1,000 pages of the bearings on the bill and few members took the time to study it r and ascertain what its practical applica tion would be. As a result, Herbert D„ Brown. ' who originally came into prominence in Washington as Taft’s effi ciency expert, and who is understood to be a relative by marriage of Senator Smoot, a leading theorist on government al economy, has apparently “put one ov er.” Brown » Persistent Lobbyist. I He has been a persistent lobbyist in ' Congress for various “efficiency” schemes ‘ for a long time. The particular plan which he tried to have Congress adopt in this instnnee was rejected, but under the latitude given the administrative officers in putting the new law into ef fect, be has bad if so arranged that the departments bare been directed to use the bureau of efficiency schedule which Congress turned down. Congress stipulated, in the new law, the salaries that were to be paid for certain work, and provision was made for better pay for certain grades, which have long been notoriously underpaid. If the administrative officers who are charged with allocation had placed the clerks where the duties they have here tofore performed enfitled them to be placed, they would in many instances have received Increases which Congress authorized. Instead of carrying out the npirit of the law, the/ administrative officers of the government have placed the clerks just where their present sal aries call for, and reduced their basic pay in many instances, in order to make possible increased for the administrative officers without too greatly increasing f the total appropriations. Not enough money was appropriated for general in creases, and the administrative officers knew that there was just a specified amount to be appropriated; so that if the clerks were placed where they be longed, there would not he enough monjy to grant increased salaries tor thepi selves* The feeling in government circles is extremely! bitter on the part of the; workers. They do not criticise the act,; to do the allocating. It should have been done by on outride board, in the] a. ■' . -■ .1 i 11 vocal, lecture; 12 dante.

While the general ahaking up has been taking place, it has pro vided opportunity for creation of cer tain jobs in order to give particular per sons with a “pull” an increase, while de creasing the pay of another doing sim ilar work. Head Men Take It All. In the treasury department it is un derstood the bead men in the various bureaus took all the money provided for increased pay leaving the clerks not only without increases which in certain grades were contemplated by the law, but ac tually reducing their pay. , The departmental authorites are cog nizant of the storm that has been stirred up, but their attitude seems to be that the downtrodden government clerks are so lacking in spirit that, while they may kick for a while, the row will blow over. The clerks are being, told they may fare better another year, receiving increases at some future time or having their pay cuts restored. Guy Moffett, the Civil Service Com mission’s representative on the Personnel Classification Board, which made the class specifications, and who was the only member to vote against adoption of the specifications now in the hands of the public printer,' today made clear the basis of his opposition. “The difference between* my views and the views of the other, members of the board so far as the class specifications are concerned involve the use for which they are intended as well as their form and content.” said he. “One government agency has been opposing this legislation and had been pushing a substitute method of classifi cation. It didn’t believe in this class specification idea. It couldn’t get its substitute idea adopted by Congress.' but get representation on the board. What did the board do? It looked care fully over the law and it found that Congress had not said in so many words when the class specifications should be developed. Congress neglected to state in specific language the particular place in the board’s procedure that the class specification should occupy. Instead of using the grades in the act as Congress had expressly required, and class spec ifications for which Congress had pro vided, fit directed that the departments use an a substitute the bureau of effi ciency I schedule which was the same sub stitute. Congress had rejected. “The allocations were reviewed by the board, final decisions made and the new pay rates put into effect July Ist. r _ “‘Now, after all this has been done, the majority members of the board pre pare and publish what they call class specifications. ,! They did not put them to the use it was intended class) specifications should be put. They did not connect them up with • the machinery so they would do any useful wtork. “One glance at the specifications adopted by the majority of the board shows that, with some few exceptions, they are not in conformity with the clear provisions of the law.” Mr. Moffett predicted that there would be serious trouble growing out of the ihjustioes which have been perpetrated. Awfully Homesick. A native clerk in Manila asked his chief for a transfer to some other de partment or to another island, as the Los Angeles Times tells the story. why do you want to leave here?" asked the superior officer.' “Because,” the man replied, “I am home sick.” “Oh, well, in that case there is no need'for a transfer. I can arranged for you to have a little vacation and then you can come back. Where is your home?” “Right here, boss,” was the doleful re ply, “and I am sick of it.” Ten Carat.
