Virginia Residents Declare Con-

10 Safety.

Aroused by conditions on the Wash
ington and Old Dominion Railroad
which are said 10 menace the safety
OF thouss nds OF commuters coming
daily into Washington, citizens OF
half a dozen Virginia towns served by
the system are demanding an official
investigation.
With labor troubles on the rallI Dad
threatening 20 interrupt regular sery-
Ice almost any day. the 10000 com
muters who depend on the system for
getting into Washington are deter
mined To carry their complaints 10
the public utilities boards in Rich
mond and the District OF Columbia.
Mass-meetings OF commuters are
being planned at which conditions on
the railroad will be discussed. The
nfst OF these meetings will be held
tomorrow night at Lewinsville. IL In
planned to have similar meetings at
Mclean, Great Falls, Herndon, Lees
burg, and Bluemont, the principal
towns on the line.

Washington and Old Dominion Is said
to be the cause OF most OF the labor
troubles. According to patrons OF
the line. green trsinmen are running
cars In manner that Is threatening
the safety OF women and children.
IT Is known that on "Wednesday
| men who had been running eight
hours on the Bluemont division, upon
turning In, were put on cars OF the
Great Falls division and made to put
in several more hours work under
threat of discharge" according 20 the
Rev. Albert X. Zimmerman, who Is
organizing the mass-meeting at Lew
insville.
For the sake OF justice to the COM
pany and for the sake of safety to
the entire community whose wives
and children are In danger up TO this
| morning because the men who are
taking the places OF discharged
trainmen are mostly inexperienced,
Is IL not time to appeal ts the public
utilities commission In Richmond?"'
1t was stated recently at the offices
OF the Washington and Old Dominion
that out OF about seventy trsinmen
engaged for the waiting list" only
ten were men OF known actual ex-
perience. General Manager Davis de-
clared, however, that the road always
tried out men before putting them
to work regularly.
Reports that men are being dis
charged by the company for trying to
organize a brotherhood are stirring up
labor circles in Washington. No step
has been taken as yet to win over the
support of the Central Labor Union,
it is understood, but the various rail-
road brotherhoods stand ready to lend
assistance at any time. Many of the
trainmen are engaged in the yards at
Alexandria. Rosslyn. and Potomac
yards.
Train service continued according to
scheduled time today without any ap-
parent trouble from the men. 1t was
reported that a freight car was run
or the tracks near Rosslyn Wednes-
day night and the company Is inves-
tigating.

should come speedily when executive
ability 10 displayed and that Govern
ment should become a business In

NO WAY TO JUDGE MEN.
I'VE talk about efficiency ratings
in the service now" he continued.
"As a matter OF fact. there are no
ratings that amount TO anything.
There 10 no measuring stick By which
one can ascertain the worth OF any
employe. Some OF the elements OF
an employees work which are OF the
greatest value never receive any
place In the ordinary efficiency rat
ings at all. IL he has genuine

fore him since the earliest days. He
is not permitted to try any new ideas.
IL Is rather difficult to develop real
efficiency when the whole spirit OF
constructive work Is killed at the
source"
Mr.. Ayers cites the fact that, In
response TO the needs OF business, pn-
iversities are establishing courses in
foreign commerce. shipping. the con-
sular and diplomatic services, etc.
and believes that the same sort OF
training should be provided for the
civil service.
IL am confident that by developing e
real initiative and executive ability
in the service we can save the nation

I'VE will be able to pay larger sal

tent am confident that II a new
constructive policy were adopted. and
that IL men were trained to work for
the Government as they are for pri-
vate employer. and that IL everybody
from the division chief to the lowest
clerk were told that initiative was
necessary for their success, we could
revolutionize the Government service
in a short period"
Recognition of the fact that the
Civil Service is nearing a period of
reorganization is general among the
higher officials of the Government.
A number of secretaries and division
chiefs are meeting from time to time
to survey the situation and to formu-
late a tentative policy by which ex-
listing conditions may be improved.
In the near future the report of
Herbert +. Brown, of the Bureau of
Efficiency. will be made to President
Wilson. and IL is expected that IL will
contain constructive recommends
tions with reference to the service.
Despite the hostility which exists be-
TWEEN the bureau of efficiency and the
organizations of the Federal employees.
it is expected that the Brown report
will contain many suggestions that
will be approved by the workers.
The Washington times., 1920-08-13

This is the view set forth by l.. j.
Ayers, chief clerk OF the Interior De-
psrtment, who has spent a quarter
OF a century working for the Amerl-
can Government. and who now Is
epitomizing the mature convictions
OF his long period OF service In re-
port 10 John Barton Payne. secre-
tary OF the Interior, whom he hopes
TO interest In his plan.
The civil service OF all great Eu-
Topesn nations" declares Mr. Ayers,
"is career which men look for
ward 10 and are proud OF, but In the
United States IL Is unattrsctive TO
ambitious men. IL IL all routine
and red tape"
SHOULD ESTABLISH SCHOOL
II believe that the Government
ought to establish a special train
ing school for the civil service and
that the universities OF the country
ought to be asked to establish sps-
cisl courses for those who desire to
enter the civil service. That is the
first angle of the problem before US.
No one takes the Government ser.
vice seriously enough TO be trained
for It, No one dreams that the
United States Government has Its
own special problems and It's own
ways OF doing things. In which men
ought to be initiated before they
come to Washington"
Mr.. Ayers believes that scientific
men who enter the Federal service
should know the exact way in which
the Government proposes to utilize
their scientific knowledge. and that
the individual should not be left ION
his Job" to do practically as he
pleases.
There are scores of instances In
Washington where scientific bureaus
have no conception of their sphere OF
usefulness to the business com
munity." declares Mr.. Ayers. They
simply continue scientific research
from the detached viewpoint OF a man
in a university laboratory. Scientific
men brought to Washington should
apply their science to the practical
business needs OF the country"
CHIEFS MERE CLERKS.
He also cites the fact that many
bureau chiefs in charge of scientific
experts are merely clerks or execu-
tives who have no real knowledge of
what the men under them are doing.
or of the methods by their work can
be made OF service to the nation.
II think that the nation Is going to
demand an altogether new standard
of efficiency from its Government
workers" he continued. There Is
only one sure way by which this
standard can be attained. That Is to
make the entrance standard so high
that only first-grade men can pass IT..
Train men in the special needs of the
Federal service. II they lack initia-
tive or executive ability. or fail to
grasp the requirements Of the work,
this fact can be ascertained before
the men come into the service. 1t Is
impossible to reorGanize the service
under the present system. Some one
must formulate a policy governing all
the departments, Snd to see that 1t
Is put into effect. There should be
some way of rescuing the Federal
service from red tape"
1t Is Mr.. Ayers conviction that ini-
tiative among all classes of workers
should be encouraged, instead OF be-
