Government hearings on prob
lens connected with the employees
practically have been confined to
the rank and file of the workers.
This was natural considering that
the questions concerned them the
most. Still, there is another side,
that of the executive heads of the
departments and divisions.
The abuses which surround the
class of employees which makes the
government wheels, go around will
not be taken up here but it is de-
sirable that their views relating to
the improvement of the service be
recorded.
In the personal Investigation con-
Quoted il, has been discovered that
in the great majority of cases. there
is a sympathetic bond between ex-
ecutive heads and those under them.
The head of the division has fire.

thirty minutes after the news was
received here today that the House

TO seat Victor l.. Berger, the Socialist
District Committee was called to-
gether and he was renominated from
the Fifth Congressional District OF
Wisconsin.
Governor Phillips. however. an
nounced tonight that he will refuse to
call a special election so that the
voters who have elected Berger twice
will not have another chance to elect
him until next November. Meanwhile
the Fifth Wisconsin District will not
have representation in the House.
Victor l. Berger. Milwaukee So
cialist. was excluded yesterday
from membership in the House Of
Representatives on the ground Of
disIoyalty to the United States.
which raises ineligibiIity under the
Constitution.
Berger had been denied a seat in
the House last November on similar
grounds. He was reelected at a
special election on December s by
a majority of over 1000.
r The exclusion resolution was

Immediately after action had been
taken by the House Berger. who had
been refused the privilege OF speak
ing in his own defense. issued a de-
fiant statement as follows:
Il hold the same views as / did

This is one Of the worst attacks on

tion was not personaI-it was the
position OF the Socialist Party. II
I was disloyal then a million Social

The ineliGibiIity Of Berger to a
