Public Service And PdY

City government and city officials must public re-
spect and public recognition Too many competent elected
officials fail for reelection because the voters do not
give them the support able public representatives must have
Appontive employees frequently leave municipal govern
ment because their salaries low, other working cond-
tons unsatisfactory and because private employment leads

it must responsibility for maintaining high
standards in the public service by demanding such stand

Municipal officials and employees should receive ade-
quate compensation that municipal employment will offer
the same opportunities for advancement private employ
ment. The pay of municipal employees in the higher salary
brackets should be comparable to that in private employ
This principle should apply to administrative profes

Steel

OF all the lobbying activities being carried one
of the most reprehensbe it the campaign of
big steel to persuade Congress that is doing opnoch
job in increasing steel production and that there is dang
of a shortage.
Yet the facts of the matter quite different 1t has
been shown that while all manufacturing industries expand
ed 90 cent during the past 10 years. the steel industry
expanded only three cent and while industry expects to
expand 13 per in the next five years. the steel industry
expects to expand only three per cent.
Why SHOULD trade unonsts be concerned about this?
There is very good reason Economists emphatic in
saying that unless steel production increased to 100
100000 tons year by 1850 economy will be unable

and which employ workers under union conditions The in
