TOO LOW.
DECLARES DIRECTOR
Clerks at $1,000 Supervise
Work Of Men at Same
Pay.

Director North. Of the Bureau Of the
Census, calls attention In his annual re-
port to what ne terms an unfortunate
clerical situation that has been gradu-
ally developing since the establishment
Of The permanent Office.
Practically all Of the clerical force has
been In the Bureau since it was first es-
tabiiEhed. and many OF them have be-
come highly proficient in special lines
OF work
In all other bureaus OF the Govern
ment. long established, the clericaI
force represents q gradual process OF
appointment. and clerks are promoted
to vacancies at high salaries. In the
Census Bureau there are not enough
higher grade positions allowed by law
70 permit OF promotion IN accordance
with merit. In consequence, St is said,
number OF Census clerks are discharg-
ing important supervisory duties while
paid the same salaries as the clerks
whose work they direct.
Or. North says that at least % per
cent Of the s1.000 clerks are as well
trained and qualified, as Industrious
ana efficient, as are 50 per cent Of tae
8. 900 clerks. and are doing the same
character OF work both In quantity and
quality. side By side with them.
The glaFing injustice OF the situation
is obyis-s." says DR.. North. ''Neces-
sarity. < creates dissatisfaction, discOn-
cent. and something ike decentralization
II makes the duty OF the director in
determining promotions to the few
vacancies which occur through resigua-
ton, death and transfer most trying aad
disagreeable No clerk can no selected
for promotion without the knowledge
that dozsns or others are equally ell
titled 10 It."
DIT. North says that as a result Of the
peculiar condition in the bureau nearly
fifty 81 the best clerks have been lost
70 other bureaus and departments by
transfer since the establishment Of the
permanent census Office.
Secretary Straus is requested 10 urge
upon Congress the necessity for sup
plying a remedy by the readJustment Ct
tire clerical salaries OF the bureau. II Is
calculated that only u per ce5t. of the
clerical employees in the Census Bureau
receive above loo. while The general
average Of these employees in all ether
departments Of tie Government is above
50 per cent
