SITATENTHOR A \g:AeTee_ OF A CENT T PASSENGERS TELL OF TRAI HOLDUP Describe How Bandits Raid- ed Train From Laredo to Mexico City. BY HARRY NICHOLLS. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. MEXICO CITY, October 24.—A group of American passengers on_ hte train held up by Mexican bandits a few days ago while going from La- redo to Mexico City just arrived here with the story of their experiences with banditry, The group included Mr. and Mrs. F. R Seaver. the former gen- eral manager of the Hussteca Pe- troleum Company, owned by Edward L. Doheny; Mr. and Mrs. M. Ulvary of New York, tourlsts on their first pleasure trip to Mexico, and Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Dupar, Frank Stevens and Charles Weeks, all of Des Moines, Towa. There were others whose names are not available. Describing the experiences of pas- sengers, Mrs. Seaver recounted detalls of the hold-up. Halted With Crash. “It was about 10 o'clock in the evening. Most of the passengers had retired and I was at one end of the Pullman and my husband at the other when the train suddenly halted with a terrible crash. I was thrown heavily against the side of the car, but not injured. Following the crash there was rifle firing which lasted A quarter of an hour, though it seemed llke hours. All the passen- gers lay on the bottom of the car. Y did not know my husband’s fate, snd so I whistled and he whistled in return. I noticed a passenger throw his watch under‘a seat and 1 did the same with my jewels. We remained thus untll a brakeman an- nounced that the passengers had to leave the car, as a search was to ‘bs made. Then the bandits entered. “There were six of them, all armed, They sald that nobody might leave or they would be killed. The ban- dits then left, but returned later, tak- ing a fire ax. I heard them banging at what proved to be the safe in the express car. The bandits returned a eecond time, with the brakeman in front of them. With leveled rifles, they ordered the passengers to place their valuables in the bandits' caps. Each passenger had to turn his pock- ets inside out and show that they were empty. The women gave up valuables which amounted to a small fortune. Brakeman Injured. “The brakeman's right hand had ‘been smashed, and the passengers did all they could to relieve his pain. The bandits left at 1 o'clock in the morn- ing, three hours after the hold-up began. Our trunks were buried in the debris of the overturned bag- gage car, but had not been carried off. The bandits apparentiy had re- celved word that assistance was com- ing and made off toward the hills. An examination of the situation the next morning showed that the ban- dits had torn up a rall on a curve. The train was going upgrade at the time and the locomotive was de- railed. It tumbled down an embank- ment, killing the engineer. Four other cars were overturned, but the second and first class coaches and the Pullman did not leave the track. The train was escorted by six sol- diers. Two of them were wounded by bandit bullets and it is reported that they died.” One of the passengers says that he was informed by the express mes- senger that the train's safe contained 90,000 pesos ($45,000). It appears that the bandits got no money, fail- ing to break open the safe, though they hammered at it continuously after extricating it from the wrecked car. Several of the American passen- gers refused to continue on to Mex- ico City and returned to lLaredo. Spectal detachments of military were rushed to the scene of the hold-up for the purpose of pursuifig the ban- dits, wiro took to the hills.

C bla 878, 25% STATUS IN FEDERAL SERVICE STILL IS P UZZLE TO 200,000 Reclassification Body Draws Specifications After Building Its Bridges, Engineers’ Body Official Declares. BY A. B. McDANIEL, Secretary, tional Washington Office, Amerl- can Association of Engineers, and the Re- search Service. Formerly member of Civilian Advisory Board, Geperal Staff, War De- partment. Ever .since the law providing for the classification of Government employes went into effect on March 4, 1923, about 200,000 of those workers for Uncle Sam who were concerned in this legislation have been wondering how they would be affected, and as to just where they would fit into the picture. Finally, after about 16 long months of watchful walt- Ing, these patient tollers have learned the results of the work of the Personnel Classification Board, charged with the administration of the law. While all of thege nearly 200,000 employes have been exposed to the operation, it seems to have taken with but relatively few. Many ceem to feel that the operation has left them worse off than before, and a majority are still trying to ascertain where they fit and why. The first tangible cvidence of these results came on July 15, when the Fed- eral employes received their first salary payments of the fiscal vear of 1925. And socn thereafter they learned that the Personnel Classification Board had fs- sued a book of class specifications. Natu- rally their curiosity was aroused as to what this book contains, and as to how it would help them to find themselves in the new scheme of things. This book, Personnel Classification Board Form No. 12, was eent to the various depart- ments on August 11, 1924. It is a pub- lication of some 156 pages, and con- tains “a letter of transmittal,” signed by F. J. Bailey, chairman of the Per- sonnel Classification Board, a reprint of the classification act of 1923 and ‘amendment of June 7, 1924, followed by lists of “grades and classes” and “class specifications” for the various services established in the act for the depart- ments and offices in the District of Co- lumbia. Dates Striking Fact. The most striking fact connected with the issuance of this publication is the date of its appearance. It should be noted that it was sent to the departments about 11 months after these same departments had prepared their estimates for the use of the Bureau of the Budget in its report to the Congress on the in- creased cost of classification for the departmental service for 1925, and at least two months after any depart- ment had. made its final allocation to cover changes and adjustments in its personnel subsequent to the submis- sion of estimates. The board did not prepare class division staff—being carried on In ccordance with the provisions of the classificatlon lJaw—was abandoned by a majority vote of the board on No- vember 12, 1923, and pronouncement made that no duties classification was practicable for fleld positions. See Book as Cloak. Evidently the board in an endeavor to comply with the law has prepared this publication as a cloak to hide, if possible, its earlier sin of omission What would the public think of an engineer who bullt a bridge, using labor and material in accordance with .the funds supposedly available and largely ignoring the require- ments of loads, traffic, available ma- etc., and who, when the bridge was practically completed, prepared detall plans and specifications to show what had been done? Would any rational being consider such a procedure logical or proper? Yet the Personnel Classification Board and the various Government departments operating under a plan adopted by the board have allocated about 200,000 Federal employes under just such a system—allocations first and specifications afterward. Publication Interesting. A study of the so-called “class specifications,” contained in the pub- lication issued by the board, is inter- esting as it indicates in the first place that they are not “class specifi- ations™ at all. The specification for “junior sclentist, P-1-4,” for example, seems to be merely the definition of the grade given in the act excluding the medical, engineering and veter- inarian group. Just how such a statement will be of any more value than the grade definition to the board, or to the departments in the allocation of personnel to the com- pensation schedules of the act, is not clear. These statements certainly do not comply with the provisions of the act as noted in the third para- graph of section 3, and as quoted by Chairman Bailey in the “letter of transmittal,” as follows: “It shall prepare and publish an adequate statement giving (1) the duties and responsibilities involved in the classes to be established within the several grades, {llustrated where necessary by examples of typical tasks, (2) the minimum qualifications required for the satisfactory per- formance of such duties and tasks, and (3) the titles given to sald classes.” . To be of value the class - specifications as the basis for its classification work in the District of Columbia or in the fleld, as was the intent of Congress as expressed in the third paragraph of article 3 of the act. Presumably neither the board nor the departments would be able to properly determine the vari- ous classes of positions concerned until comprehensive class specifica- tions—setting forth “duties sponsibilities,” “typical task: “minimum qualifications” — had been prepared. Congress expressed its crit- icism of this neglect on the part of the board in House Report No. 315, dated March 18, 1924, in the following words: “In the face of these provisions of the law, the Personnel Classification Board did not subdjvide the grades into classes, and furnished no titles and definitions, published no such statement as required by the act for the guldance of department heads. In short, made no‘classification at all. ~ Mr. Balley, chairman of the board, in his statement before the House committee on reform in the civil service, indicated that the reason for the delay in the preparation of class specifications was lack of time. The fleld division staf in its inital work of the classification of positions in the fleld service—in accordance with section 5 of the act—did find time in the six weeks from August 1 to Sep- tember 15, 1923, to prepare tentative class specifications for about 80 per cent of the 110,000 positions concerned ‘Personnel Classification Board Form 8, dated September 15, 1923—and this material was used by the departments in the preparation of theif estimates for the fleld services. It will be re- called that these estimates were later discarded, the work of the Seld specifica- tion should be more definite and specific than the grade definition. The statement of duties and re- sponsibilities given for “junior scien. tist” {s very general and indefinite of “typical task e it of real value an instrument in the administration of the act. Even a person not famillar with the detail requirements of these two classes of positions would know that the junior physicist must be able to do certain things and have specific know'edge quite different from that required of a junior chemist. 1f the United States Civil Service Commis- sion received a request from a de- partment for a junior scientist it ‘would be necessary to go back to the department and ask what kind of a scientist was wanted, and if it were learned that the department wanted a junior physicist it would be further necessary to determine what training in related sclentific branches might be considered acceptable. As department heads are required to make allocatio: initially, such c'ass specifications should have been prepared by the classification board early in its work to serve as a real | basis for the departments’ allocation lof their emploves. The preparation of proper class specifications is the basic step in all personnel c'assifica- tion work, and it is obviously just as logical and ratfonal to write a specification for a bridge after it 1s completed as it Is to write class specifications after the classification has been made. ——— The United States bureau of public roads has completed arrangements to distribute 100 million pounds of pyro- tal, s mew explosive, to state highway commissions and farmers, Colum —Colored. _ Apply Hotel Logan, ow roer of 13th IGNITION and battery man, A-1.
