LABOR RAPS MERII BODH
Charging that the efficiency divi-
sion of the civil service commission
created ''onIy soft jobs for investiga-
tors" and is not worth $4,000 spent
on it yearly, the Chicago Federation
of Labor in a letter to the mayor and
council took a rap at the Office. The
council was asked. to abolish the di-
vision.
''Wen the city's annual budget was
made up," the letter continued, 'the
representatives of this division got
very busy with their pencils and de-
Yised ways and means to declare that
because of mcompetency, inefficien-
cy, ETC., mne should not get the wages
which have been appropriated for
them. It was also recommended that
there be demOtiOn, or, as it is better
known, a reduction in pay.

has passed a civil service examination
