TREASURY PROMOTIONS.
Efficiency VIII Count More Thar
Length Of Service.

Secretary Shaw has issued circular to
the officers of the Treasury Department In
regard to the committee on personnel. The
circular is the outcome OF considerable
Jealousy that has arisen at times. the COM
mittee on personnel having grown to such
power as to attract attention. The object
OF Secretary Shaw's circular Is to let II be
known that he is the final authority in all
such matters and not the committee He
says the committee is purely advisory
Secretary Shaw expresses the desire that
heads OF bureaus In making Recommended
tons should make efficiency count to a
greater degree than length of service. He
also directs that the practice OF allowing
different compensation to clerks doing iden-
ticaliy the same work should be reduced to
the minimum This Is practice that
causes a great deal of dissatisfaction Men
work alongside OF one another. doing the
same thing. and one man frequently re-
ceives many hundreds OF dollars more
year than the other man, who often does
better work than the higher saiaried man.
Secretary Shaw hopes to discontfnue the
practice that leads to such promotions.
