From our standpoint It is_particularly impor-1 tant to bear in mind & statement from i the chief of that bureau, Herbert D. Brown, in a letter last March, which states: ‘1 believe that the affiliation of government employes with labor or- zanizations must of necessity result in a reduction of efficiency in the de- partments. I am of the opinfon that such an affiliation Lias an unfortunate effect on the morale of the service.' We are therefore .not unnaturally doubtful as to the impartiality of any agency which is on record with an expression of this sort of prejudice, and inasmuch as probably three. fourths of the employes of the United States government are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor through something like fifty different trade unions, thé suitability of the bu- reau of efficlency to prescribe effi- ciency ratings is likely to be chal- lenged by a large majority of em- ployes. 1109 to 1115 Conn.
