Foreman (same acts). Assistant foreman (same acts). NOTE.-One cataloguer at $1,100; 8 at $1,000 each; and 4 at $900 each omitted. Rearrangement of the salaries of the librarian, 20 cataloguers now provided for, and the addition of 3 cataloguers make a total increase of $11,000. Catalogue work is approximately six years behind the requirements of law, due to inability to fill cataloguer vacancies on account of low salaries; persons capable of filling the positions absolutely refuse the small pay, and increase requested is an emergency measure. Increase from $840 to $900 for 24 clerks (amounting to $1,440) is requested in order to adjust the present inequitable situation whereby ordinary laborers receive $876.40 and clerks $840. The qualifications required of clerks by the Civil Service Commission are so far above those required of laborers as to demand, for the good of the Government service, that they receive a more equitable rate of pay.
