NEW THREAT SEEN
ON Ware CONTROL
Election of President Judge
Made Over Protest of
Senator-EIect.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, January 19.-The
election of Judge Charles l.. Brown as
president judge Of the Municipal Court
over the protest of Senator elect Will
liam S. Ware was viewed by political
observers today as greater signifi-
canoe than the defeat at the November
election of several candidates in South
Philadelphia wards who were backed
by the Senator ELECT.
Many politicians accepted the out
come of the Municipal Court contro-
versy as a serious threat to Ware S
leadership of the local Republican or
ganization. Patronage of the court,
with its $50 employees and annual pay
roll of 81 100000, was said to have had
something to do with the controversy,
Senator-elect Ware had telephoned
Thursday night from Florida, where he
is recovering from a stroke of paralysis
suffered last Summer, and appealed to
the members of the court to recognize
their obligations" and vote for Judge
Leopold G. Glass, an adherent of the
Ware organization. His appeal was in
vain. for seven of the ten judges COM
prising the court cast their ballots for
Brown. who has not been identified
with the Ware interests.

REPLIES ARE MADE
TO CHEST QUERIES
Workings Are Explained to
Those Writing Essays
in Contest.

Further answers to the scores Of in
quiries on the workings of the Com
munity Chest from those writing essays
in The Stars contest on the advantages
of the Community Chest in Washington,
prepared by the heads of the chest
fund campaign for the edification Of
the essayists, were announced today.
Many queries as to the manner in
which the budgets of the member
agencies of tie chest are determined
have been received from the essayistS.
The chest heads answer:
THE agencies submit to the budget
committee of the Community Chest an
itemized statement of their receipts and
expenditures for the past three years.
Their requests for the year ahead are
based upon these statements and the
social needs of the community. The
budget committee carefully scrutinizeS
these requests and makes recommended
lions to the trustees of the chest. The
board Of trustees then carefully goes
over the recommendation of the budget
committee and takes such action as it
deems best
On the Human Element.
Not few questions have been asked
about the chest taking the human
element from charity administration
and mechanizing it. Many have said.
II want to feel the thrill of giving and
see mans face light up with gratitude
when I aid him" The chest heads
answer:
Such alms-giving will prolong the
need for charity indefinitely. Have you
the means to study each case carefully,
to determine the real causes of the
need? Have you the time to work out
comprehensive plan of rehabilitation?
Do you know that your grateful man Is
not receiving the same dole from many
other people in Washington? Pam
handling is easier than working. The
number asking for charity will increase
as long as there are people who will
hand out aims Unfortunately. It
should be remembered also that in a
large city many persons are in distress
who would remain uncared for II there
were no organizations working day by
day to care for them. Sending a check
to the treasurer of the Community
Chest is no more mechanical than send
ing checks to the treasurers of 81
organizations"
Tag Days to Stop.
Inc cneSC neadS point out that, while
from time to time, as the need arises,
building fund campaigns for some Of
its member bodies will be allowed, they
| assure Washington that the tag
days, balls, bazaars, floods of appeal
letters and the long list of ways in
which money has been raised in the
past by the member bodies will be dis
continued under the chest adminiStra-
| ton.

length. Prizes of $500, $50 and $25 are

essays and these prizes will be awarded

A combination of the best features OF
the various bills designed to clarity the

ton reported out of the House civil

committees hearings.
These hearings were concluded YES

which OF the half-dozen bills, or what
provisions in them, incorporated in a
new bill will eliminate the salary in
equities which are held to have resulted
from Controller General McCarl's in
depreciation of the WEIGH act. An exec-
utlVe session OF the committee Is ex-
pected to be held next week for this
purpose.
McReynOlds Gives Views,
William H. McReynolds, assistant
chief of the Federal Bureau of Eff
nciency and director of the field sur
vey OF the Personnel Classification
Board, was the final witness. He told
the committee that the Government
nad noticeable lack of uniformity in
It's promotion policy. and said he had
Ill mind to recommend an annual in
crease in the salaries of all Govern
ment workers, doing satisfactory work,
to correct this condition.
Although McReynolds said he got his
idea for annual increases from a New
York firm, the plan is similar to the
one proposed in the Sirovich bill. one
of the measures before the committee.
The Sirosich bill would grant fiat in
creaSeS from 500 to $500 to all Gov
eminent employees whose work is sat-
isfactory.
Outlines His Survey.
McReynolds gave the committee a
detailed outline of the comprehensive
survey undertaken by the classification
board to determine the comparative
salaries and personnel qualifications of
Government employees and those In
outside organizations. While the sur
vey Is yet incomplete. he said, he
would submit a preliminary report to
Congress within 10 days which would
cover in detail the operations and con-
tain definite statement of the prin-
ciples and policies followed.
The survey will show, McReynolds
said. that Federal workers in the lower
salary rates of the various grades are
DeCter PAID than employees In OUTSIDE
firms doing comparable work, while
those above $4,000 class were getting
less than those on the outside The
survey also viii show, he said, that the
salaries OF Government employees in
Washington average 500 higher than
tohse in the field service.
Luther C. Steward, president of the
National Federation of Federal EN-
ployes, announced at the close of the
hearings that his organization has been
trying to bring about such a survey
for IL years. He is convinced that it
will show the Government pays less to
its employees than does the private en-
ployer.
