Appropriations totaling .$G.!,Ul)U will

I the needs of three proposed divisions of
the commission.
Clnssiiicntion mid standardization of
municipal salaries is to be tnnde n per
manent activity of the civil service body,
operating through n proposed clnnsill
cation division, while an exniiiiultig di
vision nnd n division of hearincs nlso
arc to be provided for.

will cost JjsiO.OtMl. Of thnt sum $22,000
is to be applied to nn immediate sur
vey made by outside experts, while
$7i!33.33 is usked for the classification
I division, operating from June 1 of this
I yenr.
I $20,000 for Examining
For the commission's cxamiuing di
vision $20,000 is requested. This ill
j vision's personnel is to consist of a chief
examiner nt $0000: nn assistant chief
examiner. $1000; one senior assistant
examiner. $3000: two assistant exam
liners, $2000: two stenographers or
clerks," $1-100 each; two stenographers
'nud clerks, $1200 curb, nnd nn iinmcn
tioned number of special examiners and
monitors nt $2000 each.
Six thousand doiiurs is requested for
the division of hearings. Under the new
charter the commission is designated to
conduct Jienrings formerly within the
scope of the police and lire trial boards.
A yearly salary of $2000 is desired for
n stenographer in that division, with n
$4000 appropriation for trial expenses.
Clinton Rogers Woodruff this after
noon explained that the chnrter au
thorizes the uppointmeiit of an attorney
to sit ut police and tiro hearings when
the inquiries are likely to be so pro
tracted as to Interfere with the other
duties of the commissioners.
' Chief to Get $5000 I'a
Mr. Woodruff said that the work of
classifying positions and standardizing
salaries will lequire $12,-100 u your
after this venr. The chissjlication
division is to have n chief at $fi000 a
year, a senior classifier at $3000. an
assistant classifier nt $2000, n. stenog
rapher at $1320 and a tile clerk nt
$10Ml.
"It is essential to establish for each
standard position a lunge of (ompeiisa
tion rather than a tint rate of pay."
Mr. Woodruff declared, "so that the ef
ficiency and the length of service of in
dividual employes niny bo taken into
account " well us the character of their
duties.
"The piiuciple must be observed that
the salary scale hould .rest ou the pie-
vniliuz cost of living conditions in l'hil

Operators Doclaro Only Slight
Wago Incroaso Would Advance
Prico of Anthracite
MINERS HALT PRODUCTION
Ry the Associated Press
New York, April fi. Agreement ou
n new wage contract for the iiiithrarlto
coal fields is expected within two weeks,
Philip Murray, International vice presi
dent of the United Mlno Workers, an
nounced here today.
As soon ns the committee tf miners
nnd operators conducting negotiations
reaches n decision, he said, n tri
district convention will be called, prob
ably nt Wilkes-Unrrc, to ratify or re
ject the proposed contract.
At. todny s session operators began
presenting the Inst of their statistical
data nnd nrguments' combating de
mands for n 00 per cent wngo increase.
They indicated that they would offer
a contract quite different to that pro
posed by thp workers. Operators pointed
out that "only n slight" wage in
crease grunted the miners would in
crease the price of coal.
Mine workers' officials said the real
struggle will center on the wage ques
tion. They said they would refuse to
consider nny advance less than that
granted soft-coal miners.
Tho demand for n six-hour day nnd
five-day week. It wns Indicated, will not
' ue pressed. Tho light tor tho "clieck
' off and closed shop will be pushed,
'union men declared.
naHnir. April c (i?y a. p.) it is
ostimatp,! i,ero t0,jny thnt tll0 ov, lu
production because or Idleness during
tho Inst few days nt the anthracite
mines will amount to 12r-,000 tons. Very
'little coal wns mined-nt the Rending
Coal and Iron Co.'s collieries thus for
this month nnd it is not likely thnt the
men will nil get back to work before
tomorrow.
Little nnthrneite has been received at
Schuylkill Valley towns during tho last
feu days nnd It is understood that when
the fuel does stnrt to come in, which
will not be before Wednesday, the prion
will be based upon the new scale to be
adopted by the mincworkers' officials
and coal operators.
Only a few of the mines of the Read
ing Coal and Iron Co. were in opera
tion today nnd most of these arc short
handed. Thousands of the men failed
to show up notwithstanding tho great
demand for conl. Little anthracite has
been brought down from the Schuylkill
mines since Friday last nnd this wns
loaded at the breakers on the Thursday
previous.

COLBY FOR STATE
T.
Secrotary Considering Lansing'3
Plans to Reorganizo Over
grown Diplomatic Work
GOOD MEN HARD TO KEEP
Ry tho Associated Press
Washington, April 5. Plans mndo
by former Secretary Lansing for the re
organization of the Stato Department
so ns to equip it better for handling
the enormously increased responsiDin
ties growing out of the changed world
conditions following the war arc receiv
ing the attention of Secretary Colby,
nnd may be carried out, in part, at
least.
Mr. Colby said today he had con
ferred with Mr. Lansing on the sub
ject, but was not prepared to say nt
this 'time just what he would Indorse
or wbnt he would propose. Mr. Lans
ing's recommendations, ho said, had
many year's of study behind It and was
"entitled to grcnt weight,"
"There ore n number of the branches
of the department that nre undcrmau-i
ncd nnd understaffed at tho present
time," sirfd -Mr. Colby. "Wo have the
difficulty that nil Washington has in
keeping meri-of tho highest ability con
tented in positions thnt nro very oner
ous nnd exacting nt the very moderate
salaries which it is possible for us to
offer men. The problem Is a very Im
portant one and is receiving my very
close study.
"During the war tho pressure of the
State Department was not so great,
and. I may say, a great many functions
of tho depnrfment were necessarily in
terrupted nnd some of these activities
virtually discontinued owing to the con
ditions in tho world. With the abolition
of many of the temporary boards, there
has been a certain residue, of functions
which could not bo discontinued, and
in a number of cases the Stato De
partment has been the legatee of these
residual functions of othor departments,
and then, again, with tho gradual re
sumption of political and trade rela
tions in tho world, thcro has been n
great burden added i0 the department,
and that of course means a great strain
on the personnel."
CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S DEAD

Former Private Michael Iannelli is
another one who. like Mnrk Twain, savs
''that reports of his death are crcntlv
ciuKsermi-u. iuuuuku iuu Kuvcrnmcnt
says so, puts it in writing, as it were,
in a handsomely embossed certificate,
Mr. Iannelli smilingly denies the truth
of it nnd' offers a bride to take his
part.
His "resurrection" came to light
when Iannelli last week applied to the
home service section of the Red Cross
for compensation for ill effects suffered
after being gassed in France. Last
February the returned soldier mnrrled
Miss Ida Tutsi, of 1817 Morris street.
