Excerpt from Hearings Before the Committee on Labor: House of Representatives, Sixty-Fifth Congress, Second Session on H. R. 152, a Bill to Fix Compensation of Certain Employees of the United States, Friday, January 11, 1918 Sec. 2. That upon the passage of this act the heads of departments in which are employed persons as defined in section one of this bill shall issue new appointments at the increased rate of compensation herein provided. Mr. Nolan. Mr. Chairman, I think it is due to you and the committee that I should make a little preliminary statement here. This bill, H. R. 152, is an exact copy of the bill that was reported by the Committee on Labor in the Sixty-fourth Congress. The number of that bill was H. R. 11876, entitled "A bill to fix the compensation of certain employees of the United States." The bill, as introduced in this Congress, is in the same shape as it was when the committee reported it out, with certain amendments. The amendments are included in the new bill. Mr. Watson. You mean the present bill is the same bill exactly as reported by the committee then? Mr. Nolan. Exactly as reported to the House by the committee.
