{L0CK RULE 60ST Whiter Tells Senate Commit- tee of Heavy Losses Under | U.S. Control Agreements. Provisions of the national agree- ments placed in effect during govern- ment control, which required ‘“the railroads to allow employes one hour extra pay each week for punching the clock regardless of the number of hours actually worked,” cost the rail- rToads $6,445,658 during the first six months of last year, E. T. Whiter of Philadelphia, chairman of the confer- «nce committee of managers, told a Senate investigating committee today. An order issued by the director gen- eral in July, 1918, guaranteeing to men employed on piece work ‘“the same minimum hourly rate as thosc of hourly workers, resulted in a de- <rease ranging from 10 to 40 per cent in the output of piecework men,"” Mr. ‘Whiter adding: - Reason for Decrease. “This falling off in production be- came uniformly noticeable when it was known by the piece workers that they would receive no increases. but were guaranteed only the minimum hourly rate. “{'omparisons between work basis and hourly m. trative Branch In a series of articles The Star is presenting the details of gov- ernment reorganization deve! oped by the Institute for Gov- ernment Research. Today's ar- ticle deals with the proposed independent establishments. The office of controller and audi-- tor general will be discussed to- morrow. BY WILL P. KENNEDY. In the scheme of reorganization of the administrative branch of the fed- eral government recommended to the joint congressional committee on re- organization by the Institute for Government Research after five years of intensive study of the problem, in connection with the regular depart- mental consolidation and co-ordina- tion, the following independent es- tablishmets are provided for: sion and iasurance services; (3) pub- lic utility services, (a) possible re- lief of the Interstate Commerce (?nvvn- mission of all duties of an ldml!u:u trative character, and (b) possible consolidation of the Interstate Com- merce Commission and the United sStates Shipping Board into a single interstate and foreign ommission. 25 s As a basic outline for reorganiza- tion the institute ?II\DhHBIZeS the fundamental distinction between or- | ganization units for ministering to the meeds of the departments as in- stitutions and those having for their function the performance of the work for -which the department was con- stituted and m intained. ‘The forrper of these services is designated ‘in- stitutional” and the latter funf—_ tional,” and they have been carefully segregated in the enumer: e('f’\' ges comprehended under each department. They present quite dif- frent problems of administration. ‘Designates “Supply Services.” | There are a number of organiza- tion units which the institute finds standing in the same relation to the government as a Whole as the sev eral institutional services const tuting subordinate units of the de- partments do to the departments in which they are located. ‘They are services of an institutional charac- ter, and are given the genenral des-. ignation of supply services. They include: 1 the piece- basis were ntained by the roade until Febru- 1919. when the managements were prohibited by the raiiroad ad- ministration from continuing such comparisons." Provisions of the national agree- ments permitting the employment_as car repairers of only those men who have served an apprenticeship in the car department or who have had four Tears' practical experience on car Jork, Mr. Whiter »aid, results in a “waste of skill and an unnecessary increase in the cost of such repairs.” Declares Rule Unfair. *“The rule’is not consistent or prac- tical.” he contended, “and draws a line around car work which prevents the employment of any man who has had experience in analogous work. The railroads should have the privilege of employing for the car department— upholsterers, painters. pattern-mak- ers, etc—men who have had experi- ience, irrespective of where acquired, even though they have not previous- 1y had four years' experience on car work. There is no justification what- ever for such a rule in connection ‘with freight car work.” STUDENT IN SOCIAL WORK. ‘Washingtonian Among Harvard Men in Service.

Finally, and in_some respects most important of all, it is desirable to keep down as far as possible the num- ber of distinct independent establish- ments.
