opinion that the Issue concernrng
the pay of State employees in gen
eral and public school teachers in
particular would occupy much of
the time and attention of the 1947
legislature.1-' The Opinion ' of those
Observers 'a already been more
than borne but' this session has already-'
seer. 'a iupplementafy pay
bill for the balance of the fiscal
year' ending June 30, 1947 passed
by the Senate as introduced (pro
viding for a 20 average increase
for the "lower" brackets for the
last 6 months of the 1946-47 fiscal
year), -amended by the House after
stpentioue ariJment to provide in
creases rangmg up to 30f has at-
reidy seen the Senate; reject' the
H6i'e antendment and thro the
bill into conference! has seen the
Seriate adopt the conference-report
which would have appropriated
within an approximate $100,000 ef
the estimated $8,156,000 additional
cost to the general Fund 6f the sup
plementary pay bill as amended
in the House; has also, seen the
House by, a decided and apparently
determined., . maj ority reject ; the
same conference report because it
did not give the lower bracket em
ployees' (those now earning up to
$2,700, per jear), and especially
public school teachers, the per
centage increase provided by, the
House amendment; has seen addi
tional conferees appointed In both
House 'and Senate; has seen those
conferees bring in a report which
was promptly adopted by both
House ' aitd Senate, which report
was a victory for all and a defeat
for hone: the "administration for
ces", succeeded in holding off an
Act'Mfhieh would seem, to provide
increases abdve 20 in the lower
brackets by having the additional
salary payments cover a longer
period than 6 months and by hav
ing the salary additions ' called
"emergency bonuses" instead -of
"emergency "salaries"; and the pro
ponents of the House amendment
got within a very few dollars per
month In each bracket for which
they we're contending -- all this,
while both conference reports' ex
plicitly and solemnly declared that
nothing -in either report,' nor any
vote on either report, would bind
anyone when it came to the con
sideration of the biennial approprl
atiorts bill - - the bill which would
determine teachers' and State em
ployees' pay for the next bienium.
"All this, of course; 'was- techni
cally unfinished business of the 19
45 session,, but it may have proved
to 'h&v& beph something" lik" a
testing-ground for this session: in
spite of ; the declaration of both
conference reports on the supple
mentary pay bill that no preced
ents were being set, both sides act
ed quite definitly as if a principle
were involved, and up to now,
neither side has admitted either by
word or deed that it has abandoned
its principle. And in the meanwhile,
opposing and even confusing lines
ire bMng formed: the adminlstra
seems determined to hold the
20 line;" the "regular" educa
on forces seem to be equally de
511 lined to bend it, at least up
v J to 30 for the "lower" (tea
cher) brackets, while the "South
Piedmont Group,!' having not only
organized into a coherent and ar
ticulate group but having also en
gaged separate and Influential lob
byists, seems determined to surge
well upward through even the 30
formula. -
