CALLED UNFAIR, UNJUST
Length of Service and Amount of
Disability the Scale.
DEFINITE SUM Is FAVORED
Present System Should Be Strength
ened and Not Weakened-Appeal
to Congress Probable.

IL Is Regarded as prODaDle tnat MEM
bers Of the police department will reg
lister vigorous objection to the pro-
posed change in the method OF issuing
pensions. Last summer Commissioners
Mcfarland prepared a scale of pensions
for members Of the fire department, the
scale to work automatically on a basis
of length Of service and amount Of dis
ability.
Maj. Sylvester. superintendent Of po-
lice. has been asked to state his views
upon the question Of the proposed
change. He has not yet formulated his
reply. but members of the police depart
ment feel satisfied he will not favor its
adoption The scale prepared for the
fire department provides pensions OF
from $40 a month for quarter disability
Of a private who has served less than
five years to 500 for the chief engineer
after fifteen years service.
Under the plan approved for the fire
department., one-quarter. one-half. three
quarters and total disability are recog-
nized, the amount of pension being de-
termined by the length Of service. A
man who has served less than five years
is to be given $50 rating for one.quar-
ter disability, $25 for half disability,
disability. An advance Of IS Is pro-
vided for lieutenants, $40 for captains,
$40 for battalion chiefs $35 for deputy
chief and $45 for the chief.
Each five years Of service means an
increa sed amOunt OF peuSiOn.

Firemen Condemn It.


Commissioner Mcfarland conferred
with Chief Wagner about the proposed
change before he gave it his sanction,
and whatever the chief may think about
it, there are many members of the de-
partment who do not hesitate to condemn
It. No concerted action has been taken
by those in the fire department who are
opposed to II, however. although 1t is
almost certain that members of the police
force will make known their opposition
to IL.
THAT the proposition seems unfair and
unjust is apparent" said one Of the older
members Of the police force to Star
reporter yesterday. Il cannot imagine
what the length of service has to do
with a man who is disabled in the line
of duty.
Suppose. for instance" he said. II go
on duty today and after being on the
street only a few minutes 1 am called
upon. to participate in making an arrest
In a case where there has been a gun
play, and suppose l get shot and one
arm disabled for life. Is 1t reasonable
to suppose that ! should not be given the
same consideration as q man who has
been on the force five years? Am l not
as much disabled as the other man?

Police Association Busy

Members Of the Policemen's Associa.
ton are displaying more than an ordinary
amount of interestin the question which
is considered of so much Importance to
them. Not only are they unalterably OPP
posed to the adoption of the proposed
scale, but they are going to appeal to
Congress for a better law than Is now in
force. One of the members of the asso-
citation told a Star reporter last evening
the association had already given some
thought to the question of the proposed
change. and he ventured the prediction
that Maj Sylvester will not favor 1t.
1T would benefit nobody in the world,
he stated, but some of those who favor
it probably think II might be the means
of saving the District a few dollars.
IF a man Is on the force ten minutes
and gets killed" he added, lis not his
widow entitled to the maximum pension?
II be is totally d sabled in the Enc of
duty is he not entitled to full consid era
ton? We think he is and will make a
nght for it If necessary"

Bill Pending In Congress.

There is a bill pending in Congress
which provides a change In the pension
law. 1t provides service retirement
Of twenty-five years. but members Of the
association are trying to have the limit
fixed at twenty years. In a total o! fifty
seven cities, II Is stated, only three pro-
vide as long service as twenty-five years,
and some Of them fix the s-rvice at
twenty years. while others fix 1t at as
little as fifteen years.
What the interested ones want Is a
provision fixing a definite sum to be
paid those who desire to avail themselves
of an opportunity to claim a service pen
sion. With such a provision of law in
practical operation. they argue. the force
will always be made up of active, young
men, and there will not be any reason
for complaint about so many older men
being carried on the rolls wien they are
unable to perform full police duty.
Unless there Is a chang, made soon
in the method of selecting men for
appointment to position on the police
force, Maj. Sylvester fears. the pension
question will not give him SO much
trouble. Only a few days ago he recon-
mended to the Commissioners that a
change be made, realizing that under
the present method a number of good
men are deprived of an opportunity to
serve the police department. There are
several vacancies in the department at
present and no names on the eligible list.

Sylvester on Qualifications.

Maj. Sylvester thinks officers Of the de-
partment should examine candidates and
report upon their practical knowledge of
policing, the civil service examination to
be solely an educational test. 1t Is said
that many failures are due to the lack
of practical knowledge of police work.
and the superintendent OF police thinks
that part Of the test can be better deter
mined by police officials than by civil
service examiners.
He thinks the physical tests In many In
stances are also too severe. The general
idea OF such a test. he says. Is a man.
fitness to qualify for a life insurance
policy and not to show that he Is with
out a possible defect realizing that most
men are deficient in some respects.
Last month the police surgeons ex-
amined thirty-seven candidates and pass
ed only four of them, while at civil
service examination held on August 10
men who bad passed the physical test
took the civil service examination, and
only six Of them succeeded in getting
their names on the eligible list. Upon
another occasion nine men were given a
special physical examination and all
failed to stand the test

Service No Consideration.


1T would probably be just as difficult
for me to earn a livelihood with my dis
abled arm as 1t would for the man who
had served five years longer as a mem.
Der Of the force" he added. land, as
matter Of fact. I might be even oldel
than the other man. Then again. who
can tell whether / had been one. two OF
disabled? The answer
would probably be that the police sur.
geons could determine that question, but
do not agree with them.
IF there IL to be any discrimination,
he said. what is the matter with letting
q mans record be considered? There are
plenty of men in all big bodies of mer
whose inactivity preserves them. and
certainly a man who has displayed nc
particular zeal and remained on the force
for years should not be entitled to the
consideration which should be shown ar
active and energetic officer.
IF there is to be change In the sys-
tenn l hope the present system will bs
strengthened and not weakened"
