Machinery Already Set to Es'
tabIish Uniform System of
Rating Employees.
EFFICIENCY AND REVISION
OF WORK AND PAY SOUGHT
Presidents Announcement Creates
1nterest-Long Standing In.
eaualities Will Be Fixed.

The executive order announced at
the White House late yesterday, di-
recting the United States bureau Of
efficiency to establish a uniform sys-
tenn of efficiency rating for the entire
result in % establishment of practi-
cal reclassification of work and pay.
and (2) establishment of a merit sys-
tenn under which those who work
earnestly can win promotion, through
proved efficiency.
This is the opinion of Herbert d.
Brown, director of the bureau Of ef-
flciency, who said today that the sys-
tenn already has been worked out and
will be put into effect by November
1 throughout the entire government
service in the District.
One of the most important facts.
Mr.. Brown believes. is that the appli-
cation of this system will be a prac
tical demonstration of what reclasSi-
fication requires. removing all the
clouds and fog of academic specula-
ton. 1t will demonstrate clearly. he
says. how the government employees
in many cases are greatly underpaid.
Mr.. Brown was in conference today
with representatives from the vari-
Gus executive departments to agree
upon the course of procedure, SO that
the establishment of the new system
could be made promptly and with a
minimum friction. The executive
order. following conferences between
the President and members of his
cabinet, regarding reforms in the
federal service incident to reorgani-
zation, brought the representatives of
the executive departments Into the
closest cooperation with the bureau
Of efficiency.
Three Basic Factors.
The plan outlined by Mr.. Brown in
Of the executive departments bases
the efficiency rating upon three basic
factors: ~ Standard pay, ca guam
t!ty of work. and (s) quality Of work.
you can't say whether man Is
underpaid or not until you adopt a
work." Mr. Brown explained.
The question has been raised by
some Of the leaders In the federal en-
ployes' organization that the execu-
utory positions Mr.. Brown does not
agree with this contention. As fe vas
In conference with the President be-
fore the executive order was issued
it Is reasonable to suppose that he has
q pretty clear idea of the Presidents .
intention. He argues that the statu-
tory positions were not established
for individuals except in very few
instances. The executive, he points
out, fas the right to put any one in
these positions-good. bad or indtf-
ferent To distribute these jobs &C
cording to the merits Of the employees
will be with greater accuracy and ef-
ficiency as regards the services to the
government and with greater justice
to the employees
The number Of statutory positions
is relatively small in comparison with
the total number of employees. Mr.
Brown says, probably about % per
cent of the total, in Washington.
The executive order issued yester-
day was Of great interest and gratifi-
cation to the soldier organizations
which have been urging some such
action.
