Government employee are entitle?! to an Increase of 80 per cent In their Halarles over those received In 1013. Such, in substance. Is the report nade this morning to the Congress ional Joint commission on reclassifl 'atlon of salaries by the subcommit tee on the feasibility of periodical vage adjustments on the basis <-f ost of living index figure. An Increase In the base pay which jvould be relatively permanment. and ? supplementary bonus, which instead >t being a fixed sum as now would be a certain percentage applying -hroughout the salary scale. Is rec ommended. riaetaatla* Wei?. Such a bonua could be altered from ?'ear to year, whenever the coat of ivlng or other condition? change . jubstantlally, without changing the >ase pay. It Is pointed out. The iubcommittee says that If prices ile reased considerably in the next few /ears the bonus might disappear al ogether ;lf prices Increased, the the bonus should follow suit. The subcommittee mentions the act that the Bureau of Labor Statis ?cs finds that the coat of living In Washington has Increased <0 per .'cut since 1?13, and says: "If, therefor?, employes are to have wages that afford an equivalent pur haslng power to the wages of 1911 here should be a permanent Increase ia general of, say, 50 per cent, and a bonus of SO per cent, which would be 10 per cent of the Increased salary This bonua may be uniform through out or be scaled down in the higher ranges of salary, as the commission nay decide." The subcommittee advances two reasons for the recommendation tha' vn increased base pay be suppl? uented by a percentage basis. Th? "Irst is that it gives a relatively per nanent list of salaries and permit; he changes from time to be made It .he percentage bonus, "which woul?? r>e much more conventlent In practlc? than to change all salaries." The second reason given is tha? ? e Increase In prices that has o ?urred is probably due In large par to causea that will continue to ac for many years, "but In part it li due to causes of temporary charac ter" Permanent Wagte Basra. The report further recommends that a permanent wage board be estab lished by Congrens to study questions of salaries and classification and re port annually to Congress, recom mending: "(a) Change In or additions to the classes of positions as the needs of the service require, (b) changes in the entire salary scale in accordance with variations In the purchasing of the dollar, and (c) ad justments in particular groups of em ployes to correct inequalities or com pensate for changes in competitive or other condltiona Such a board, presumably appointed by the Presl ent, should have upon it representa tives both of the executive depart ments and the employes, and possibly also of the public." These recommendations are made or the increased cost of living alone, as that was the only question re ferred to the subcommittee. The members of the subcommittee aie Dr. E. B. Rosa, chairman, of the Bureau of Standards: Dr. M. Jakobson economist of the Federal Keserve Board; Dr. Royal Meeker, head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Miss Ethel M.

Thurston Declaring that a "very serious condition" exists In the schools and asserting that unies? Immediate re lief is received to prevent further congestion the efficiency of Instruc tion in the schools will materially deteriorate, thus depriving 61,000 students from receiving full benefit >f the education offered in the public school?, Superintendent Kniest L. Thurston yesterday appealed to the Board of Education to take definite ?ction to meet the situation. Superintendent Thurston pointed out three plans to relieve congestion In the grade schools and one method of preventing crowding In the high schools. He declared that 40 per cent of ?he 1,200 class rooms in the schools were overcrowded. "Dally our en rollment Is mounting.'' the superin tendent asserted In the course of a seventy-minute talk to the board, "and there are indications of a steady Increase. Large apartment houses and new home? r.re being erected. Instead of a normal increase of 1 per cent In attendance, the Increaae is 10 per cent, and will continue at this rate for possibly five years. I have heard of no other school system in any Eastern city where the condi tions are as bad as In this city." Scores Portable School?. The portable buildings now being used are not advantageous to the echool system, said the superintend ent, and "althrugh they offer one nethod of relief, I must tell the members of the board I am strongly opposed to the erection of any addi tional buildings of this kind. These building? are supposed to be used temporarily, but as a matter of fact children are sent Into these outside class rooms until the buildings rot with age. We have seventy-nine portables now, and this number should not be Increased." A second plan to relieve congestion is to establish half day classes, said Mr. Thurston. However, the superin tendent pointed out to the board that if this plan would be put In operation the 60.000 graded school students would not receive the full instruc tion they are entitled to. Half dav claaees would begin at 8:30, end at 12:30, begin at 1:00 and end at 5 o'clock. The third plan would mean practic ally a reorganisation of the gradod school system. It provides for the establishment of a platoon system similar to the system operated In De troit, and would make It possible for a echool to accommodate several hun ired more students than the school's capacity. Explaining this system Mr. Thur ston said: "This plan is known as the Oeary duplicate platoon or ?hift sys tem, each city having a different name for this plan. In brief, it is worked in this manner: Two classe? of students start to school 9 o'clock in the morning. For one and a half hours one class will enter class rooms and receive instruction In basic studies, such as arithmetic, spelling, English, etc. At the same time the second class would enter the gymnasium, athletic field, work shops, cooking kitchens, auditoriums, music halls and other places where special studies are taught. The second class would re main in session for one and a half hours. Then both classes would change the first taking special studies and the second basic studies. "This would, of course, mean using the extra space In the schools prac tically the entire day. When one-half of the school is occupying class rooms the other half would be In another portion of the building or in the school yard. You can readily see that | it is possible to accommodate twice the normal number of students with this method. At present students re main la one class practically the en tire day. The afternoon session would be operated the same as the morning session.'' G rare? Janlor High ?.caoola. To relieve congestion in the high schools the establishment of more junior high schools would be benefi cial, said Mr. Thurston. The superin tendent stated that each year the number of incoming students In the high schools Is increasing. If the in coming class? s are sent to Junior high schools there would be no crowding in the high schools, the superintend ent said. There was no mention of the number of new Junior high schools needed to carry out this plan. "I have Just returned from a visit to numerous cities in the Middle West, where I studied the school sys tems," said Mr. Thurston, "and I find that the condition in thi? city cannot be compared with conditions else where. In other cities there are mil lions of dollars appropriated for new schools, and the school buildings In ise at present contain from twenty four to thirty classes, while our schools are only eight and slxteen room buildings. "In Northern cities they are not worrying over conditions. There la little congestion and any coming In crease in enrollment will be met by the new schools being erected. There is no doubt that Washington need? ?norc permanent buildings. But to ?ret money for any erect new buildings 's a matter of years. Our problem Is to care for the present enrollment, und something must be done to give ?is relief." Superintendent Thurston pointed out that there are 540 teachers In th?* nubile schools compelled to Instruct -'nsses of more than forty students. "If is my belief and the opinion of ?chool superintendents elsewhere that It Is not fair to place a student In a c'a?? of more than forty pupils, and It also works a burden upon the teacher, which results in Inefficient instruction.'* k t Federal Workers, to the Number of 15,000, Plan Chain of Co-operative Stores Here. A constitution and plan? for Im minent Incorporation, under the law? of the District of Columbia, of a can trai purchasing and distributing plant for the new "Federal Storea, Inc.." were adopted last night at a meeting of repreentativ? of Government De partments, held in the munition* building, aad presided over by John F..

The organisation ia expected to have a working capital of more than $100. 000 within a short time, this capital representing the fee? for membership in the association paid by the Govern ment employee. A membership in the Federal Storea, Inc. entitles one to the privilege of buying at wholesale prices all goods ?old.

The buildings where the stores are housed are donated by the Government. The organization formed last night Is to be composed, in its final mem bership, of a buyer from each Govern ment store. The central purchasing and distributing agency, which will deal with the manufacturer, is said to be the best plan so far found by 'rovernment employes for lowering ?he cost of living necessities.
