that the strikers are more enthusiastic
now than at any time previous.

strike HEADQUARTERS yesterday for distri-
button to those dependent upon the COM

MERIT PROMOTION SYSTEM
PROBLEMS OF IMMIGRATION

Advocates of the straight pension plan
salaries are to remain at present, and
those favoring promotion by merit and
not entirely by scholastic examination
will probably find much of interest to
them in the annual report Of Secretary
Nagel Of the Department of Commerce
and Labor. just made public.
Promotion of employees by merit and
not entirely by scholastic examination is
treated at length by Secretary Nagel,
who believes scholas Site examination may
be proper when an applicant enters the
government service. The conditions with
in the service, however, he thinks, call
for an entirely different test for promo
ton.
Promotion by Merit.
Employees work under the direction
and observation of chiefs of bureaus and
divisions, and their capacity, efficiency
and resourcefulness are judged by Them ~
says the Secretary. I'm the final analy-
sis their rights to advancement should
be wholly determined by the opinions of
these supervising officials, provided such
opinions are we'll informed, judicfous and
conscientiously reached
Secretary Nagel puts himself on record
in favor of some sort Of approximation
or retirement for clerks He believes
compulsory retirement for age or disa-
bility would be an economical measure
for the government, and expresses the
opinion that if salaries Of clerks are to
remain as they are the government can
afford to provide straight pensions with
out contributions from employees.
The departments force, he says, at the
end Of the fiscal year-not counting about
1850 enumeratOrs and temporary force
of a,496 in the bureau Of the census
numbered 10,25S. an increase Of 327 over
the previous year. He declares it, "as q
whole, is very satisfactory.
"A number of incapable employees have
been dropped. The spirit Of the person.
mel is good, interest and even enthusiasm
being manifested. Furthermore, it is
shown that the important appointments
without the classified service have been.
made with a view to merit.
Three chiefs Of bureaus, as we'll as a
number of other important presidential
appointments during this administration,
have been selected from the classified
service on account Of experience and at
tainments, and because of apparent fit
ness for the positions to be filled"

gold in a shaft that was sunk by his
father forty years ago.
The father was driven from his claims
by force but not before he had con-
WINGED himself there was treasure in the
ground. When he was compelled to quit,
he filled in the shaft and concealed the
place where he had dug.
The son. who had often heard his father
tell of the supposed gold ledge, recently
came to Oakland and bought two acres
of land, including the location Of the old
shaft. He claims to have found ore that
bears out his parents glowing tales.
