BOOST IN BILL
Measures For Reclassification
Watched With Keen-
est Interest
Customs am! immigration officer?-
especially and a number of other
government employees in Browns-
ville are manifesting a keen interest
in the bill now before the civil serv-
ice committee of the United States
senate for reclassification of federal
employees because it is believed pro-
bably that the bill if adopted will
pripvide increased salaries for them.
Because the bill proposes to place
them on yearly salaries instead of
on a daily wage basis as they now
work customs officers are particular-
ly interest in it. The proposition is
to pay them $2340 a year whereas
at present eighteen different rate
of pay are prescribed ranging from
$3 to $6 per day.
That government inspectional ser
vices such as inspection and immi
gration service would be placed ir.
more satisfactory relations with th<
government as employer makes the
bltt one in which th;>se officials art-
interested.
A circular recently sent to •us
toms inspectors by the national as-
sociation states that William .1. Bond
of Boston representing the Custom
Inspectors’ Association of the United
States had asked the senate and
house committees which will have to
deal with the reclassification bill to
provide an annual salary instead of
the various per diem rates. He point !
ed out that the customs inspector is
an administrative officer with res
ponsibility for compliance with alli
customs requirements not only by
customs employees hut also hy im-
porters and steamship companies
and urged th:>r »he salarv he fixed at
$2340. It was stated that an act re-
quiring railroad i.nd steamship com
panies to pay customs inspectors for
work in excess of eight hours a da*
was being contested by the companies
with reference to its application to
the Canadian border where he
claimed the ispectors have been re- j
quired to work “excessive” over-
time.
Mr. Bond also explained that th*
work of the customs officers often |
is hatardous. declaring that the pres- j
ence of United States marines some |
times is necessary to protect the
customs men in carrying out their
duties.
It is probable that a report on the j
bill will not he forthcoming for
some time according to information
from Washington.

Dittmann Theater Today.
"Occasionally Yours" a I.ouis .1.
Gasnier product ion released as a
Robertson-< ole super-special starring
the great screen lover Lew Cody
which opened at the Dittmann theatei
la.-t night is a cleverly presented
piece of satire in which Mr. Cody
supported bv an exceptionally fine!
cast doe« nie of his best work on
the «en. It will he shown again
light.
The story of the picture whici
deals with present day society life
lends itself to beautiful stage set-
tings ami this is taken advantage ol
in every conceivable way. The spec
tator is carried into an atmosphere
of unusual luxury and richness.
Mr. Cody pbrtrays the role of j
young artist who does not permit hi-
art to interfere with his love affairs.
The old code of “Off with the oh
and on with the new" seems to appea
to him. Also it gets him into ho
water. While being vamped by th»
old love he finds himself interested it
the new.
A week-end party plus a runaway
horse help bring about an anti-eli
max. The love fiend signs the mat
rimonial register when he asks th.
new love whom he suoposes is dying
to become his wife. The lady in ques
tion recovers and then—well ther
we get to the punch of the picturt
which should not be revealed.
