everyone had a seat. and generally
attending to the numerous details
which arise at a mass meeting.
That their efforts, coupled with
others on the committee, were
completely successful was borne
out yesterday by the large audi
ence which generously applauded
several distinguished speakers.
Mrs. Harmon, of 1922 v st. 8. E.,
came to Washington nine years
ago from her home in Brooklyn.
N. Y, where she had attended
grade school and high school.
Interested in any type of career
which would allow her to assist
those who need aid because of
physical misfortune, she studied
intensively for several years at the
Washington School Of Physical
Education.
The net result was a career
with Uncle Sam as a physical
therapy technician. a post she
has held since 1888 and for
which she has proven herself
thoroughly fitted. At present
Mrs. Harmon is assigned to the
Medical and Surgical Building at
st. Elizabeths Hospital.
Since entering the Government
service Mrs. Harmon has been a
prominent figure in organization
work, joining Lodge No. % as
soon as it was formed early in
1882. She also enjoys dancing,
reading and music, three activities
which constitute her foremost
hobbies, while another pleas
ure which she values above all
else is Mary Elizabeth. a viva
cious and attractive young daugh-
ter.
Mrs. Corbin is a product Of
Manassas, Va, where she received
her education, but has lived in
the Capital for the past 20 years.
Nursing was her original ambi-
tion, however, and she conse-
quently attained her aim early
in 1884, when she was appointed
an attendant in the st. Elizabeths
psychiatric service, where she
has remained since.
Now residing at $40 Raleigh st.
S. E., Mrs. Corbin also has a
very charming daughter, Eleanor,
aged II, who like Mrs. Harmon,
has been quite prominent in &C.
tivities of her lodge since she
became a Government employe.
Recently she was elected to the
groups executive board.
Mrs. Corbin's principal pas.
time is hiking. When possible
she enjoys driving to the noun.

ever, stood the expressed opinion
Of several hackers that the cur
rent agitation is intended purely
to rouse sentiment for higher
rates and other benefits among
all classes of drivers. so that
real strike" can be called shortly
before the second inauguration of
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
on January 20.
AS if in contradiction of this
widely quoted belief, the group of
independent leaders who visited
the Public Utilities Commission
today said they were merely seek.
ing a way to improve conditions
peacefully. They were told by
Riley Elgen, chairman of the COM
mission. that his body favors part
of their demands, including the
limitation Of the number of cabs
and the spreading of compulsory
insurance among all classes of
vehicles as well chs.
Elgen informed the group, how
ever, that his body can officially
act only on rates. If this is de-
sired by the hackers, he said, they
must submit a plea for a public
hearing which can be answered by
the commission after 20 years.
Among most drivers it was
agreed the situation will probably
not be brought out into the open
until after today's meeting.
Meanwhile, nine drivers arrested
early this morning had apparently
forfeited their collateral. They
were picked up by police, who
charged they were interfering with
persons attempting to hire cabs.

hensee as being the lend of the

speedily enacted into law by Congress"
with respect to the specific proposals,
tho N. F. F. E. is especially Eratifted TO
find the following:
Extension of the competitive classi-
fled service to all nonpolicy making posi-
tions."
Extension of classification to all
positions in the field service and to ,ex-
cepted places in the departmental serv-
ice at Washington"
"Esta blishment of a central personnel
agency, covering the entire executive
branch. and responsible directly to the
President"
"Enla rgement of the in-ssrvice train
ing program of the Federal Government
to develop executives from within the
service and to enhance generally the op-
portunities for advancement and trans
fer by employees on the basis of broad
ened training and experience"
Extension of the research activities
of the Bureau of the Budget"
with the recommendation that ad-
ministrative salaries be revised upward.
the n. +. F. E. is in thorough and hearty
that upward revision of pay schedules
is even more essential in the lower
brackets, and that the ends of efficiency,
economy and fairness are not served by
maintenance of current rates under
which thousands of men and women IN
the Federal service are being sharply I'M
derpaid
improvement of personnel adminisra-
tion have been primary objectives of the
n. F. F. E. over very long period of
years"
For example. at its very first con-
vention in 1917 the organization went on
record in favor of the establishment Of
a central personnel agency. and the
Presidents recommendation Is in exact
conformity with proposals made more
than seven years ago by the N. F. F. f.
in conjunction with the Institute OF
Government Research and the Naional
Civil Reform League. Since 1921 we
have urged that the research activities
OF the Bureau of the Budget be suit
stantially expanded, as provided in Sec
tion 209, a provision which has been
practically a dead letter"
Extension of the merit system has
of course. teen a major objective since
the inception of the organization. Also.
the establishment of thorough-going
classification system, which is so com
pletely essential to effective admins
tration."
1--WE feel that those who eooperated in
the formulation of this report have done
a remarkably constructive and far-seeing
piece of work The N F. F. E. is hope
full that Congress will lose no time in
acting favorably upon the recommends
tions."

partment worker, "Stole the show"
