§ 53. Mr. JOWETTasked the Secretary to the Treasury if there is a rule where- under a second division clerk promoted to the first division may not receive an immediate increase in salary although if he were promoted to a staff clerkship such an increase would be allowed; and, if so, whether his Department is prepared to 2121 waive this rule in the case of long-service men specially recommended by their Departments for promotion?
§ Mr. BALDWINA second division clerk, whether promoted to the first division or to a staff clerkship, cannot ordinarily receive an immediate increase of salary on promotion unless his salary as a second division clerk is less than the minimum of the post to which he is promoted. I see no reason to vary the existing practice, which applies the same principle to both cases.
