retirement for superannuated govern

tary Redtield in his annual report just

vision for these old employees. he says
even If there has to be reduction in the

cases the reduction of force possible

THE problem of utilizing the services
of aged employees to the best advantage
is constantly becoming more difficult OF
solution" said the Secretary. THE grow
ing volume of work, the demand for in
of new methods and IDEAS require the
services of men and women whose minds
are active and capable of development.
Policy Held Inconsistent.

Efficiency Rewarded.
Secretary Redfied also points out that
efficiency only governs promotions in the
Department of Commerce.
1T is the policy of the department to
fill vacancies by the promotion of en-
ployes from the classes below" said the
Secretary. The lowest class. il not
filled by transfer or reinstatement is
filled by selection from the civil service
registers. II is desirable that this policy
be continued. for the reason that it will
inspire the working force with the sense
that their interests are considered and
