Naming of ''Loose''
Dry Enforcement
Officers Is Scored

BALTIMORE, April 14.-Activities
of the National Civil Service reform
League in combating appointment of
loose and inefficient" prohibition en-
forcement agents are reviewed in the
report of the council of the league,
read at the annual meeting here to-
day
Reiterating charges that the en-
forcement personnel includes many
dishonest men and women, some with
criminal records, the report urges
under support of a bill before con-
gress requiring that all dry agents
be placed under civil service regula-
ton and subjected to the customary
examinations. 1t also takes sharp is
sue with provisions in the measure
insisted upon by the Anti-Saloon
League which would permit appoint
ment of persons without previous eX-
perience in criminal investigation.
The Anti-Saloon organization, the
report alleges, prefers to let these
places continue as political spoils
rather than agree to the normal
method of providing for their COM
petitive classification under the civil
service law" Until the latter meth
cd is undertaken. it continues, the
enforcement of the prohibition law
will not be freed from the odium in
which it is now held.
The leagues long opposition to the
system of appointing postmasters
(which retains in office permanently
or until removed on charges, purely
political appointees," is set forth in
the report, which proposes an open
competitive examination for such in
cumbents in order to continue in of
flee. These views, the report asserts,
have been concurred in by the presi-
dent and the attorney general.
Commenting on the federal civil
service provision giving absolute
preference to soldiers and widows of
former service men, the report as
SertS:
"As time goes on the manifest I'M
fairness of veteran preference is be-
coming more and more apparent to
the mcmbers of congress. The eff
fects in the efficiency of the service
will be carefully noted by the league
and the evidence secured will be
placed before the appropriate COM
mittees of congress with the report
that this vicious legislation be re-
pealed."
