EMPLOYEES FIGHT
'SPO|LS SYSTEM
Federation Campaign to Ask
Candidates Over Nation
for Cooperation.

Charging the ''spoils system" to be
rife" in the Federal service, the
National Federation of Federal EN-
ployes today announced a Nation
wide campaign to lay before all can
didateS for public office compre-
hensive program "to improve per-
sonnel conditions in the Federal
service on behalf of the taxpaying
public"
Letters have been sent from head
quarters of the federation here to the
more than 500 local unions through
out this country and abroad, explain
ing the campaign. Committees Of
the locals have. been instructed to
present to candidates the program of
the federation.
Never in the history Of this coun-
try" says the letter signed by Presi-
dent Luther c. Steward and Secre-
tary-Treasurer Gertrude M. McNally,
"has 1t been so imperative that legis-
lators and prospective legislators
state their positions clearly and un-
equivocally on the vital issue of Fed
eral personnel administration. Every
American citizen who pays taxes has
direct interest in the conditions
surrounding employment in the bu-
reaus and departments Of the Fed
eral Government.
Remedial Action Needed.
1.-THE crisis which has arisen as a
result Of the deliberate flouting of the
civil service in old-fashioned as well
as new Federal agencies demands i'm
mediate remedial action. That ac-
ton, it is apparent now, can come
only from national legislators thor
oughly alive to the wasteful, ineffici-
ent, unbusineSslike and unjust con-
comitants Of the spoils system, now
unfortunately so rife in the Federal
service"
1.-THE merit system is being throttled.
It can be saved only by prompt and
intelligent action on the part Of far
seeing legislators.
Vital in Program.
'The strengthening and extension
Of the civil service is vital element
in the program of the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees. But
numerous other situations within the
Government service require under
standing and action and should be
placed before all candidates for Office.
"The pay and rights of Federal
employees should be restored, to en-
hance public purchasing power, to
place the Government in line with
its own militant advice to private
business and industry, and in justice
to the workers themselves. Emphasis
should be given to the constructive
efforts of the National Federation of
Federal Employees to halt sweat-shop
tactics on the part of the Federal
Government, the largest employer of
labor in the world. Thousands of Fed
eral employees are working countless
hours of overtime without added COM
pensation; are working in indefensibly
bad quarters; and, through an iniq-
uitous @. S. L. system are being
made the objects Of proflteering by
the Government"
