FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1921 SWOOT-W0DS BILL UNDERCRITICS'FIRE Failure to Provide for Review i of Allocations by Of- { ficials Rapped. H ! Failure of the Smoot-Woods re- classification bill to provide for a re- view of allocations of positions made by departmental heads came in for |criticism at today's reclassification hearing by committees on civil service. Both Senator Sterling. the joint committee, and Representa- tive Lehlbach, who have reclassifica- tion bills pending in Congress, indi- cated that they consider the Smoot- ‘Woods measure lacking in an essen- tial detail in its failure to authorize a review of original allocations by an independent classifying agency. Dr. Reese Testifies. Dr. R. M. Reese, chief clerk of the Department of Agriculture. whose testimony took up the greater part of the morning session, indorsed the Smoot-Woods bill because of its brevity and simplicity. In response to questions by Senator Sterling and Mr. Lehlbach he admitted. however, that it would be desirable to have an outside body check up on the allo- cations that would be made by the departmental heads in order to intro- duce uniformity and standardization into government work. He said the Smoot-Woods measure apparently did not have a provision for ironing out discrepancies that would undoubted- ly develop in making allocations by departmental heads. On cross-examina- tion, Dr. Reese said the Sterling bill provided adequately for a review of allo- cations. Today's hearing took on a more technical aspect than had any of the previous sessions. Dr. Reese was the target of searching questions asked by many members of the joint committee. The attendance of gov- ernment workers and others inter- ested in thé hearings showed a no- ticeable decline. The hearing adjourned until Monday. Suggests Simpler Plan. Dr. Reese Wwas asked by Repre- sentative Lehlbach if he did not think a simpler plan of classification would be to describe all government positions in broad terms, with respect to the character of work required, rather than by titles.

Lk Senator Sterling asked Dr. Reese for his opinion of the proposal to have minimum, medium and maxi- mum salaries in the several grades. 80 that employes may be advanced upon_the maintenance of a standard of efficiency rating. The Department of Agriculture official said the plan undoubtedly is a wise one. In indorsing the principle of hav- ing allocations made by departmental heads reviewed and adjusted by an outside agency. in the interest of uniformity and standardization. Dr. Reese said that either the Civil Serv- ice Commission or the bureau of ef- ficiency would be a proper body to make “the reviews. Personally. he said, he would favor the assignment being given the bureau of efficiency. which probably has made a more di- rect study of efficiency considerations in government work than has the Civil Service Commission. Dr. Skinner Testifies. Dr. W. W. Skinner of the bureau of the Senate and House | chemistry in the Department of Agri- culture was the next witness. He chairman of | Strongly urged the necessity for re- classification of government employes, particularly those holding technical positions. ~As an example of the ne- cessity for reclassification with re- gard to the removal of inequalities in pay outside the technical positions, Dr. Skinner said: “We have clerical positions paying $1.800 in the top grade, yet the man who handles the fiscal affairs of the department, checking up all the ac- counts, amounting to more than $1.- 000.000 a_year, gets only $2.000. He said in answer to a question that under the report of the reclassification commission the man handling the fis- cal affairs of the department would received about $3,600. Dr. Skinner said that during eight months of tha vear 1920 there had been fifty-eight resignations of men from the bureau of chem ry occupy- ing technical positions. All of these men went out at increased salaries, some of them at double the amount they received from the government. This great turnover of labor means a loss of efficiency in the unit,” said Dr. Skinner. He said that the proposed reclassi- fication should correct this situation to a considerable extent. Discussing the various bills, includ- ing those introduced by Senators Sterling_and Smoot and Representa- tives Lehlbach and Woods, Dr. Skin- ner said that he believed enactment of of them would be of great as- stance. He said that he had made an examination of the Sterling and ‘0ods bills and found that there wis not very much difference in the pa allowed. The \main_difference in the bills, he said, is in the agency selected for enforcing the law. In reply to a question by Senator Sterling, D Skinner said that for the sake of ur formity there should be either an in- dependent agency to allocate the em- ploves or a reviewing agency follow- ing the allocation of the employes by the department heads. New Bill Offered. Robert Catherwood of Chicago. rep- resenting the Reform Leagu mittee a recl by the legislative committee of that organization. He said that it was hased upon laws already existing in the states, in foreign countries and rules adopted by big_organizations with many employes. He said that it med nccesary down hard and fast sal- aries or to specify in the statutes just what classes of employment should be joined together. These were mat- ters, he said, which it was better to leave to the determination of the ad- ministrative bodies. laid before the com- National Civil Service ! sification bill drafted for Con- ! ness which could be employed to save the government money. He advocat- ed the quick transfer of groups of employes from one department to an- other as the work became heavier in one department and lighter in anoth- er. A central supply agency to send employes where they are needed was suggested by Mr. Catherwood. The re- moval system of the government. he said. is entirely broken down. While he did not believe that cither the Sterling bill_or the Woods bill goes far enough, Mr. Catherwood said that he preferred the Sterling bill, W. B. Greeley. chief of the forest service, strongly ‘urged the joint com- mittee to reclassify the government emploves. He said the forest service had_suffered particularly because of inadequate compensation paid the em- ployes. THE WEATHER.
