CARAWAY ATTACKS CIVIL
SERVICE COMMISSIONERS
Lending Themselves to Outrageous
Practices, Says Arkansas
Senator.

Members Of the civil service COM
mission were charged in the Senate Fri
day by Senator Caraway of Arkansas.
democrat, with lending themselves to
most outrageous practices in the Sc
lection of employees for the government.
Senator Caraway made the charge
during consideration of the executive
and Independent offices appropriation
bill. The Senate committee had recon-
mended an increase of the salaries Of
the civil service commissioners from
$4,000 to $4,000. After declaring
that very able men had served in the
past as civil service commissioners at
$4,000 a year, Senator Caraway said:
THE present civil service commits
sioners are not entitled to any increase
in salary. They are not exercising the
functions of Office in fair and judicial
manner"
Senator Caraway said that in his
state the commission was refusing to
grade papers or to show the papers pub
licly. He charged that when approached
by politicians the commissioners had
permitted the ratings of applicants for
Office to be raised large percentages.
'They are lending themselves to
positive fraud and are prostituting their
Office" said Senator Caraway.
Senator Warren, chairman of the ap-
preparations committee, defended the
proposed increase in salaries of the
civil service commissioners. declaring
that the present officials were high-class
men with much work to do. The pro-
posed amendment was allowed to go
over temporarily.
