WOULD Change CITY
RULE Of PROMOTION
Research Bureau Urges Depart
ment Heads Be Restricted in
Making Selections
SYSTEM is LOOSE, CHARGE

Restriction Of the power Of municipal
department heads in this city to pro-
mote any eligible on competitive pro
motion list is urged by the bureau of
municipal research.
The Civil Service Commission recently
held a public hearing on the question
Of new rules for that body as provided
by the new city charter. Promotions
from the civil service list was one of the
subjects considered.
The consensus of opinion at the hear
ing, the bureau declared in a bulletin
issued today, was that only limited
number OF names, possibly two or three,
should be submitted to the appointing
officer for single vacancy. At pres
cnt a department head may name even
the lowest eligible on a promotion list.
The bureau bulletin, in part, says:
1T is a general practice IN other
! cities and states where promotion eX-
aminations are used to require the ap-
! pointment of cligibcs on promotion lists
in the order of their standing, n linn
! tied choice usually being allowed as in
the case of original entrance. For ex e
ample, in the cities of New York. Chi
cago, Buffalo, San Francisco and Clevc
land and in the states of Ohio, New
Jersey, California and New York the
| appointing officer may promote any one
of the three eligiblCs having the high
est rank: but he is not permitted, if
he SO desires. to choose the last man on
the list, no matter how long the list
may be, as he may in Philadelphia un-
/ dor existing rulp
"Thc decision of this question rests
with the Civil Service Commission. De
spite the fact that the present officials
are responsible for the existing loose
promotion rule, it is to be hoped that
after due deliberHtion they will take the
same view of the matter that other
cities and states have taken and that
has received the Endorsement of the
friends of better government every
where, including the city employees
themselves "

LIBEL FOOD HELD
BY SWIFT & CO.
Federal Agents Turn Guns
Against Big Chicago Firm
of Packers
WILL SEIZE T0MAT0ES

In it's fight against food boarding the
government today turned its guns
against Swift & Co.., one of the "big
five" packers of Chicago, when United
States District Attorney Kane filed a
suit in the Federal Court for the con-
fscation of So, ,296 cans Of tomatoes the
packing firm is alleged to have held in
storage to "shoot up' the prices and
obtain abnormal profits.
Seizure of 3429 cases of tomatoes,
each containing twenty four cans, will
be made by United States Deputy
Marshal McCaffrey as soon as the
necessary writs are issued by Clerk
Brodbeck, of the District Court.
Swift & Co., is the second Of the
'big five" packers to be proceeded
against by the government for hoard =
ing foodstuffs. The other packer is
Morris "a Co., against whom the gov
ernment fled q libel on August 20 last
for holding ffty-two calves in storage
while prices kept jumping upward.
Tomatoes Stored Here
Thirty three hundred and nineteen
cases Of the 8429 were stored by Swift
G. Co., in the Merchants Warehouse

and November, 1918, and the remaining
11O cases were placed in the Vine Street
Warehouse, 1925 Vine street, by tht
packers on November IA, 1918, the libe

In boarding ,the tomatoes, the lihe
