Charges that the rights of Gov.
eminent employees are being abused
by exercise of favoritism in adj
ministration Of the classification
act were made in a report sub
mitted to the House today by the
Civil Service Committee.
The committee urges passage Of
the Madden bill, amending the
classification act, with a view to
ending these abuses.
The committee severely criticizcs
the Personnel Classification Board
for failure to administer the act
properly. The committee states
that the, board failed to set up
classes and to prescribe specified.
tions OF duties for the guidance of
department heads in making allo-
cations, but directed such alloca.
tons to be made to a series of
general grades. loosely defined and
not even following the language o.
the compensation schedules Of the
act. !"
This action Of the board has re.
suited in wholesale confusion and
dissatisfaction in the ALLEGATIONS,
the committee states.
This naturally resulted in q
large number Of appeals, Of which,
5000 are still undetermined" the
report states.

mer home at Rock River Farms,
Illinois, where he maintains one of
the finest dairy herds in the State.
Senator and Mrs. Mccormick have
three children. Mrs. Mccormick,
like her husband. has been actively
interested in political, industrial
and civic problems. She, too, was
a member of the Progressive party

in the campaign Of that year. She
has been a strong advocate of labor
legislation, especially as related to
the protection Of children. She has
also been a member of the Repub-
Iican National Executive Com
mittee; represented the Illinois Con-
sumers League before the Illinois
Legislature when 1t Twas seeking
specific child labor laws, and aided
