REFORM LEAGUE
FLAYS CHANGES
|NPERSONNEL
Total of $50 Republican En-
pIoyes Displaced by
Democrats in House

Deploring the waste and
inefficiency' in operating the
legislative branch of the Gov
ernment due largely to "pO-
litical appointments" to Gov
ernment posts, the National
Civil Service Reform League
has urged a complete change
in personnel methods and plac
ing all Government employees
under Civil Service rules.
Good overnme ment, the
leagues bulletin, points out that
when the House of Representa-
tiveS was reorganized by the
Democrats, this session of Con.
gresS, $50 Republican aides had
to make way for $50 Democrats,
and adds:
Clean Sweep in House
mot since 1918, when the
Democrats were in control Of
the legislative branch of the
Government, has there been
such q clean sweep among the
House employees"
Scoring the system which per
mits political favorites' getting
and holding jobs in Government
offices, regardless OF their merits,
and the "upheaval that comes
with a change in political con-
troll" the league adds:
Similar in States
"The experience In Wash
ingtOn is a composite picture
of what occurs periodically in
all State capitOlS. The waste
and inefficiency in the admin
iStratiOn Of the legislative ser
vices, whether it is in the Ma
tiOnaI Capitol or in the. State
or city legislatures, is nOtOri-
Gus.

stenOgraphers, preSSmen, copy
readers, and printers devils,
having to be changed in a
newspaper office just because
the new editor is a Republican
and his predecessor was a Demo

WORKERS AIMS
IGNORED BY.
CONGRESS
Much Needed egiSIation
Doomed to Sleep in
PigeonhoIeS

Legislation sponsored by Or
ganized Federal employees con-
tinued to mark time this week ,
with their efforts concentrated
as usual on opposing unfavOr-
able legislative tendencies on
Capitol Hill.
Only the most sanguine leaders
of Government workers hold much
hope now that the dozens of bills
designed to improve conditions of
Uncle Sans workers, and Spon-
sored in both wings of Congress
by old friends in both Houses,
have a chance to pass this Ses-
sion.
Score in PigeOnhOleS
There are q score of bill af
fecting retirement alone, many
of them intended to remedy long
existing conditions of unfairneSs,
which are awaiting committee &C,
tion-and apparently will continue
to await it for some time.
The classification of field en-
ployes. most important one af-
fecting Federal employees, is no
further advanced than when Con-
greSS assembled three months ago.
The House Civil Service Com.
mittee has given no indication
when it will meet again.
The House Committee on Ex-
pendituries in the Executive De
partments, which also has sew
eral bills affecting Government
workers, has had one hearing.
but has considered only the
question of uniting the War and
Navy departments, and the pro-
poSal for establishing Public
Works Administration
Senate Limps Along
The Senate Civil Service Com
mittee has flatly gone on record
as opposing any salary cuts
but has had only one meeting.
Meanwhile, Federal employees
are watching the fitting in both
Houses on the department appro-
priation bills, worried about the
proposed rider which would pre-
vent promotions and filling OF
vacancies for a year.

ceeding William C. Deming.
Has Served 49 Years
OF the commissions three sec
retaries since 1888, one died, an
other resigned in 1886, and John

Doyle thus has served 40 years.
The tendency continues for the

demands upon it, to maintain
in spirit and letter the traditional
nonpartiSan unbiased efficiency
in distributing Uncle Sans jobs,

STATES WATCH
EVERY MOVE
At CAPITOL
, Probe of Sources of Drive
for Reductions Asked by
Many Communities

Whatever the ultimate de-
cision of Congress as to re-
ducing Federal salaries, it was
evident today that repercus-
sions of the efforts of the lead
ers in this move will be felt
all over the country during
the coming elections.
With hardly a community or
county in the 48 States without
one or more persons on the Fed
eral payroll. and with Federal CO.
operative work in connection with
States and counties everywhere
ranging from agriculture exten-
sion work to law enforcement,
river improvement, forestry de-
velopment, etc, every. State has
watched intensively the latest
moves in Washington to reduce
salaries.
The motives and backing OF
some legislators working for pay
reductions remained unrevealed
this week. Led by the American
Federation of Labor, National
Federation of Post office Clerks,
National Federation of Federal
Employees and other organizations.
a campaign is being waged in the
States to arouse opposition at
once to the increasing sentiment
Tor cuts here.
The postal clerks federation, in
Its bulletin, sent over the country
this week, says:
"The Washington Times and
other Hearst papers have editO-
rally asked Congress to probe
the sources of the drive for cut
ting Federal pay standards.
Local chambers of commerce
and business organizations arc
deluging Congress with form
petitions asking for a reduction
in Government expenses, in
Guiding pay standards"
It is to combat this new pres
sure, as we'll as to ascertain its
source and cause, that the vari
Gus organizations of Government
and other workers have intenSi.
fled their nationwide efforts in
congreSSiont~ districts, with the
result that Federal pay cuts will
likely be an issue in many con-
greSSional campaigns this sum-

EFFICIENCY
Civil Service Status Doesn't
Keep UndeSirabIeS in
Federal Places
BY JESSIE DELL
U. S. Civil Service Commissioner

y. >. OlVl SeFVlCe commissioner
| have heard of the Objec-
ton raised that a Federal en-
ploye with a classified status
can not be discharged from
office, no matter how ineffi-
cient or unsuitable he may be,
unless he commits a crime or
his conduct is outrageous.
This impression is not correct.
The civil service rules contain
adequate provision for the removal
of any employe whose retention is
not in the interest of the Govern.
ment. whether because of ineffi-
cheney or for any other reason.
There is the further safeguard
OF six months probationary
period, following appointment,
during which the new employe is
made to understand that his re
tention at the end of that period
depends entirely upon his own
conduct.
The comparatively small num-
ber of removals in the Federal
service is not to be aScribed to
any deficiency in the law but to
the precautions that are taken in
the very beginning to guard
against the entrance into the ser
vice of persons not likely to prove
honest and efficient in their con,
tribution to the conduct of the
public business.

CROWDED LISTS
BAN EXAMS

For the first time in more than
ten years no examinations will be
held by the Civil Service Commis-
sion this year for a sweeping list
of Department of Agriculture and
other positions.
The commission points out that
the present rosters of eligibles are
already so full they cannot be ex-
hauSted, hence there is no need
to increase the list by new tests.
1t is pointed out that in 1880
there were fewer than 1900 appli-
cants for junior engineer berths,
for instance, but in 1881 there
were 4,300 applicants.

REVIVAL IN COTTON
ABROAD is DELAYED
British Mill Owners Apparently
Unable to Stabilize Industry.
Legislation Discussed.
BY EDWARD STANLEY,
Associated Press staff Writer.


MANCHESTER, England, May T.
Whether Britain's demands upon
American raw cotton will ever again
reach the levels of those peak years of
1911 and 1913 seems dubious here
Hut cotton experts here believe this
need not be stressed as a bearish point
for cotton. A compact, highly efficient
industry-which Lancashire surely is
not now-would be better customer,
they assert, than one burdened by high
costs and without the financial and
physical power to compete in the world
market.
So far all attempts at cooperation
within the industry, except those rather
coercive measures applied by the banks
have come to dead ends. Mill owners
cannot agree among themselves regard
ing measures to increase the efficiency
Of the British cotton industry, nor have
wage and more-loons conferences with
workers met with success.
These internal complaints, together
with the rising sterling exchange, de-
tract from the revival initiated by the
nations departure from gold.
The question in many minds is
whether legislation-so long avoided
may not be necessary after all to put
the industry back on modern feet.

NEW YORK, May THE stock
market paused to get its bearings today
after yesterdays sweeping upturn.
The list maintained fairly good un-
dertone. but further minor rallies at

ing, and there were numerous small re-
cessions-largely fractions to point
at the finish. The turnover approx
mated 600 900 shares and the closing
tone was easy.
Rails and oils acted best, but were
unable to make persistent headWay. The
week end brought little in the way OF
business or political news Of charac-
ter further to stimulate the market.
Attention still converged upon Wash
ington. as bankers hopefully looked for
further signs of congressional deterrnl-
nation to balance the budget with equit-
able taxation and economies. In the
meantime, foreigners still showed some
signs of concern over the dollar, which
again sagged in the foreign exchange
market.
While dollar exchange has been under
rather sharp pressure this week, bank
ers state that foreigners have not been
active sellers of their American securi-

points as a further reflection Of the
purchase of its foreign properties by
Standard of New Jersey. The fact that
the properties in the transaction were
valued on the basis of book value"
rather than the severely Debated mar

It was reported that something hap
pened to several trucks, delaying their
arrival until after the early morning
trading. One truck reached here at
$3.50 o'clock with 1856 crates of berries,
the driver explaining his delay having
resulted from the breaking of an axle
on the road near Petersburg, Va.
Other trucks were reported due later

WATERWAYS INCOME
SHOWS Big INCREASE
Gain in Freight During Last Year
Results in Quadrupled
Net Return.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. --~.r~. .,r,.~..---
An increase in freight more than
quadrupled the net operating income
of the Inland Waterways Corporation in
1881 over that for 1880.
Mai Gen. T. @. Ashburn, president
Of the Government controlled trans
portation system, reported today net
operating income Of s298.756.5l, as
compared with an income in 1890 Of
$65,177
Net income from handling freight
on the Mississippi increased from $685.,
1903 for 1890 to 1891, ,589.54 in 1881.
The net income loss for transportation
on the Warrior River System decreased
from S122,941 so to S32,833.03.
Ashburn predicted that the inland
waterways when completed would be
able to carry 100 times as much as
they now carry and the savings will be
proportionately increased, while the
cost per ton handled will decrease
Referring to operations on the Illinois
River, the general said an effort would
be made at once to establish rail-water-
rail rates which it had not been able to
publish previously as applying through
