Field Service. At this point it may be well to indicate that although no comprehensive classification or compensation plan has been adopted for the field service, there are many employees in skilled trades and laboring employment in the field service "whose wages are fixed on the basis of going rates." In many cases, wage boards or a similar authority have been set up to fix wages for this group of employees in the field.

Examples of this procedure are as follows:

The compensation for approximately 5400 marine positions in the field also are fixed by wage boards. In the Department of Commerce alone, there are about 2581 positions of this character scattered among the Bureau of Lighthouses, the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Bureau of Fisheries, and the Bureau of Navigation.

District of Columbia Municipal Government Service. Three distinct groups of positions within the District of Columbia municipal government service fall under the provisions of separate classification and compensation legislation. These are: (1) Positions of teachers, librarians, school attendance officers, and employees of the community center department under the Board of Education of the District of Columbia, (2) positions of officers and members of the Metropolitan Police of the District of Columbia and of the United States park police, and (3) positions of officers and members of the Fire Department of the District of Columbia.

An act of Congress approved on June 4, 1924 (43 Stat. L., 367), as amended February 28, 1929 (45 Stat. L., 1343), carried rates of compensation for positions of teachers,

librarians, school attendance officers, and employees of the community center department under the Board of Education.

Section 1 of the act of July 1, 1930 (46 Stat. L., 839), fixed the compensation rates for officers and members of the Metropolitan Police force. Section 2 of the same act established basic salaries for officers and members of the Fire Department.

As has been pointed out previously, certain positions in the labor and mechanical groups in the District of Columbia municipal government are not included within the scope of the Classification Act of 1923, as amended.

Civil Service: Quasi-Military Organizations. By an act of Congress approved June 10, 1922 (42 Stat. L., 625), compensation schedules for positions of the enlisted and commissioned personnel of the United States Public Health Service, the Coast Guard, and the Coast and Geodetic Survey were fixed. Enlisted men and officers in these three organizations have a quasi-military status, similar in many respects to that of the enlisted and commissioned personnel of the Navy, Army, and Marine Corps. It should be pointed out, however, that civilian positions in the Coast Guard, the Public Health Service, and the Coast and Geodetic Survey within the District of Columbia are subject to the general departmental classification plan.

Military and Naval Establishments. The enlisted and commissioned personnel of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps are not subject to the departmental classification. Civilian positions in the Navy and War Departments at Washington, however, do fall under the Classification Act of 1923 and succeeding acts.

BIBLIOGRAPHY

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The bibliographies appended to the several monographs aim to list only those works which deal directly with the services to which they relate, their history, activities, organization, methods of business, problems, etc. They are intended primarily to meet the needs of those persons who desire to make a further study of the services from an administrative standpoint. They thus do not include the titles of publications of the services themselves, except in so far as they treat of the services, their work and problems. Nor do they include books or articles dealing merely with technical features other than administrative of the work of the services. In a few cases explanatory notes have been appended where it was thought they would aid in making known the character or value of the publication to which they relate.

After the completion of the series the bibiographies may be assembled and separately published as a bibliography of the Administrative Branch of the National Government.
