UNFAIR RATINGS
MUST STAND

The Civil Service Commission
revealed that large number Of
complaints of unfair efficiency
ratings have been received from
furloughed or dismissed Govern
ment employees, but denied that it
will attempt to review the cases to
establish whether injustices have
been done. It has no authority
to make such an investigation,
the commission declares.
A written statement given out
by the commission today said:
"Of course, the commission
has received a number of COM
plants alleging unfair efficiency
ratings. That was to be ex-
pected.
"The commission made no
announcement that it would re-
view all protests and decide
whether injustices had been
done. The commission has no
such authority.
"The commissions authority
is limited in reductions of force
to an investigation or audit Of
the procedure incident to the
executive order on the subject"

MILK GUT HITS
ATPRODUCER

While the price of milk to
consumers in Washington has
been reduced 2 cents a quart, or
8 cents a gallon, since April l,
1881, the distributors have alb
Sorbed only one-eighth of the cut.
This was revealed today by
Elwood Seal, counsel to the Sem
ate subcommittee which is inves-
tigating local milk prices. Seal
said, Since the reduction in milk
prices began, the rate paid to
producers has been cut 7 cents,
from 80 to 26 cents a gallon.
The price to the consumer has
been reduced from IS to 13 cents
quart, Seal said. He declared
this to show that. while the con-
sumer has benefited to some eX-
tent, the producer has been forced
to take more than a fair share
of the reduction.
Seals revelation followed a
statement yesterday showing that
one dairy here has shown an
increase in profits from per
cent in 1929 to 40 per cent in
1882. He also said he has con-
firmed reports that one dairy
is selling milk to certain custo-
mers two cents per quart lower
than the standard rate.
