Commission has urged a comprehen-
sive employment policy, under central
jurisdiction. based upon principles
which may be carried out with reason
able uniformity in all departments and
establishments" the statement said,
for the purpose of standardizing and
insuring uniformity of treatment in
such employment matters as classifi-
cation, methods of selection assign
ment and training. increases of pay
without change of assignment promo :
tion to higher responsibilities. reduc-
tions of pay or duties, dismissals, re-
iRstatementS or re-employments,
leaves of absence. sanitation, safety.
service records and statistics, and
1etirement-in fact, every factor which
enters into employment.
But the comission believes that
no one person can success fully
handle such a job.
Control over selections, promo
tions, demotions. discharges or other
rewards or punishments, etc, and
employment management generally
should not be surrendered by the
head of a department or establish
ment responsible for results, but gem
eral policies should be adopted for
the handling Of personnel, and the
establishment of these policies should
be centralized in order to bring about
uniformity.
''In 1921 the Civil Service Commits
sion and the Bureau of the Budget
recommended the issuance OF an ex-
ecutive order to provide for the es-
tahlishment of a board to be known
as the Federal Personnel Board, COM
posed of representative from each

president of the Civil Service Com
mission as chairman.
TT was recommended that the duties
OF the board should be to formulate
policies and plans designed to place
the personnel administration of the
Federal Government abreast OF the
best practice In private enterprise,
with due regard to the peculiarities
of the public service.
The Civil Service Commission Is
of the opinion that no agency entire
ly independent of the departments
and establishments in which employees
serve can successfully impose per-
sonnel policies and practices upon
the entire service. 1t believes that a
CO. o-ordinating board can bring about
the adoption of well defined and

In greatly increasing the efficiency

AUTOMATIC CONTROL
CALLED DANGEROUS
Head of Engineers Says Device
Might Cause Worst Wreck
Ever Known.
By the Associated Press.

By the ASSOCIATED tress.
NEW YORK, March 27.-A warning
that automatic control devices may
be responsible for a much greater
railroad tragedy than has ever oc-
CURED, is sounded by Warren S. Stone,
grand chief of the International
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers,
in an affidavit filed in the Federal
District Court IN support OF the
Della ware e. Hudson Co.'S application
to enjoin the Interstate Commerce
Commission from forcing installation
of automatic safety devices along 113
miles of it's road.
One OF the greatest objections to
the automatic train stop, Mr.. Stone
asserts, is the danger that its appli-
cation will some day buckle freight
train and throw II across an adjoin-
ing track in front of a fast passenger
train.
THE chances are that every huma n
being in the passenger train will be
killed or crippled" ne declares
Members of the brotherhood believe,
the affidavit says, that the proper
handling of trains by brakes requires
personal judgment and that no auto
matte apparatus can take the place
of individual action ineelligently con-
trolled
The Delaware e. Hudson also pre-
sented affidayits from other promi-
nent railroad men supporting its con-
tention that no apparatus SO far has
proved satisfactory. Most OF them
argue that railroad safety would be
advanced more effectively it the pro-
posed expenditures were devoted to
the elimination of grade crossings and
the installation of block signals.

classification OF employees within the
District of Columbia
The council decided to press a ma
tion-wide campaign to secure the
cure proposed and also tc push the
proposed transfer of jurisdiction of
classification from the Personnel
Classification Board to the Civil Serv-
of Columbia.
Only about one-third of the Gov
ernment employees in Washington who
are eligible to membership in the
federation are members, the council
said, indorsing the membership drive
which actually got under way today.
There has heretofore never been an
active campaign to raise the percent
age of membership in the District
Rating Method Denounced.
Charging that the Bureau of Eff
cheney is preparing to make a rating
of the $4,000 or more Government en-
ployes in Washington on a basis that
is entirely unfair and unjust" the
council yesterday denounced such a
method of rating and announced it's
opposition to the intended ratings
The council was told that the Eff
cheney Bureau has suggested a scale
of ratings which would be counter to
the facts.
The viciousness of such a scheme
Will devitalize, IL not nuilify. the real
purpose of the efficiency rating plan"
Luther c. Steward, president of the
federation said. Our attention has
been repeatedly called TO a sub rosa
or confidential oral instruction calling
for arbitrary ratings, not on the basis
of the quality OF the work performed
but on the erroneous assumption that
49,
each unit to be rated must be made to
conform to a. scale of percentages de-
'termined in advance of the ascertain
ment of facts"
In some bureaus, the council was
informed, instructions issued in ad-
vance of the rating of employees re-
quire that only per cent be rated
between 95 and 100; per cent be-
tween 90 and 81; 20 per cent between
IS and SO: 20 per cent between so
and "a; 20 per cent between IS and
7s; per cent between 10 and "a, and
8 per cent under 70.
This scheme, in our opinion, is en-
tirely wrong the council declared
"The same deadly average that has
made the ALLEGATIONS of employees in
the District Of Columbia under the mall
administration Of reclassiFication by
the Personnel Reclassifcation Board
a CHASTITY farce can and doubtless will
be used under the guise of efficiency
ratings to perpetuate existing abuses
and to create new loopholes by which
competent and fair-minded personnel
administration can be thwarted
1T is the view of the National Ex-
ecutive Council that we shall vigor-
ously press toward the removal of
the bliRhting influence of the Bureau
of Efficiency from personnel matters
and the placing of the central control
of reclassmcation. including the re-
view and revisions of systems of ef-
ficiency ratings, into the hands of the

REGRETS TEACHERS
LACK COOPERATION
Commissioner of Education Says
Instructors in Schools Fail to
Agree on Anything.

Lack of cooperation among school
teachers of the Nation was depiored
by Federal Commissioner of Educa-
tion John J. Tigert at a meeting of
the Columbian Educational Associa-
tion yesterday afternoon i'm the Dun
bar High School Auditorium.
Il do not believe there is anything
you can get the teachers of the coun-
try to agree on" said DIR. Tigert.
They would not agree on the al
phabet or the multiplication table.
Until we can get to the point where
there is some degree of unanimity,
until we can reach reasonable
amount of cooperation. we cannot
expect to make that kind of progress
which the profession so richly de-
serves"
The lack of cooperation among the
teachers DIR. Tigert attributed to the
fact that in the sehoolroom they deal
with immature minds and reach a
dogmatic manner of thinking. I'VE
are prone to think that we are a little
wiser than Others" he added, and
because of this we have a great many
problems in the administration of our
schools all over the country"
DIR. Tigert also stressed the need of
well trained teachers, pointing out
that approximately wo-thirds of the
700, 600 teachers of the Nation are un-
dertrained.
Among those present were James
T. Lloyd, president of the Board of
Education; Harry o. Hine, secretary
of the board: First Asst. Supt. of
Schools Garnet c. Wilkinson, Asst.
Supts. Haycock and Shadd, and the
officers and teachers of the tenth,
eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth di-
visions of the District public schools.
NJ. Grant Lucas, president of the as
seciation, presided, and Albert g.
Knorl, the secretary, reported a mem
bership of 735 teachers. Just before
the speaker was introduced Mr.. Bar
rington Guy rendered a solo, by Cad
man, entitled AT Dawning."
