 On July SC, 1920, there were 691,- l16 civil service employees in the Unit ed States compared with 4SO,2S7 four years previously. With the passage of time, statute books have become so hlled with varying directory or prohibitory decisions of Congress Which seriously hamper successful handling of recognized problems of primary importance in establishing a business-Eke administration of the Federal service.
 In the opinion of the United States Chamber of Commerce, the opportune time has arrived for an exhaustive ex- animation of existing laws relating to the personnel of the Federal govern ment as a preliminary step to the adoption of round policy of person mel administra ton, and accordingly recommendations were made for a recasting of the present system under which the Federal organization is se- cured. compensated, promoted, aS- signed to particular tasks and discip- lined in justice to both public and government employees to the end that a personnel system be established that will insure q maximum of ef11- ciency from public servants in the conduct of public affairs.
 The nationwide referendum has been divided into nine questions answers to which will be requested of every member of the organization.
 
 the national committee in charge of the canvas:
 1. Recomm endation that the pres ent system under which personnel for the Federal civil service is se- cured and management should be re- cast.
 2. Recommendation that adequate and uniform pay under essentially like conditions should be established as a fundamental principle for the L-eIo ai1- nr1-iT Tp- classification and regarding.
 Recommendation that reclassiff- cation should be by statute based on investigations already made and further estigated by the CIVIL Ser vice Commission.
 4. Recommendation that the re- classification should be installed ny the Civil Service Commission and reotion made by Congress aid by these agencies.
 5. Recommendation that promo tions should be given statutory recos- hilton as the preferred method for filling vacancies, with lines of pro- motion clearly defined and promotions made upon the basis of proved merit under civil service regulations
 G. Recon that all ad- ministrative officers not responsible for determining policies should be in cluded under civil service rule.
 T. Recommendation that transfers between departments should be reg ulated by executive orders consistent with the civil service law.
 S. Recommendation that efficiency records shou-~ be developed by the Civil Service Commission
 g. Recommendation that the re- moval of an employe should be pos sible upon written statement of reasons to the emp1oye with oppor- tunity for written reply, but without right of appeal above the head of the department.
