o 2500 LIQUOR J0BS SOUGHT BY 2500 Applicants Tilt With Pens in Greatest Civil Service Elimination Bout. BY LEMUEL F. NEW YORK, June 10.—There are at ARTON. least 25,000 persons in the United | States who disagree with Gilbert and Sullivan as to the general unhappi- | ness of policemen. Written and oral | examinations to fill 2,500 prohibition | enforcement jobs, under way today | throughout the countr forward approximately dates—ten men for every job. In 700 cities and towns these volun- teers are tilting each other with government pe ination bout ever put on by States Civil Service Con: later oral and physical tests, olfactory | ‘qualifications will be considered, b civil service officials said empl that such aptitudes, or gifts, { considered along with the general phy- isical and mental equipment. It was stated positively that there would be no long-range smelling tournament. In the New York district there are ,about 2,200 candidates for 230 Jjobs. \The age limits are from 25 to 70, with ieager contenders at both extrem When the first tests started Saturday the entrants overflowed the big civil service examination room in the New York Custom House and filled dozens of rooms in high schools and other public buildings. There is a youth who wants to cash in on a correspondence course on am- | ateur sleuthing and there is an aged inventor who s he has to go to work because prohibition knocked out & non-refillable bottle on which he had spent his life. The in-between army includes zealous and determined men who want to fizht evil and others equally zealous and determined who Just want jobs. This is the first application of civil service to prohibition enforcement, un- der the act passed March 3 by the last session of Congress. The examinations are being held under the direction of Dr. Howard A. I of the United Sta mission; Harry ( , in charge of the second di: he civil service, and L. H. Fisher, superintendent of field forces. The applicants who pass the examl- nations will be submitted later to oral and phyical t From the winners of all these ts 1 man in 10 will be ‘picked—provided he also survives the ordeal of the finger prints. Take Finger Prints. In this respect this isn't exactly like matriculating at Harvard. After the finger print is taken It will be compared with pretty nearly all the finger prints now extant, to guard against candidates with questionable records. Dr. Edson was questioned about what a prohibition agent has to know. He said what they know isn’t so im- portant as what they do. For this reason, the test questions are designed o determine the candidate’s capacity for action under certain conditions. ‘Here is a sample: g “An inspector of a bonded winery discovers that on a large number of casks the seals have been cut and ice Com- glued together again. Which of the [pg following is the best action for the inspector to take? (1) Have the seals examined to find out whether they are genuine. (2) Take a sample of the contents for a chemical test and then reseal the casks. (3) Weigh the casks to discover whether part of their con- tents has been removed. (4) Open the casks and if they are full have them resealed in his presence. (5) Open the casks and if they are not full, have them destroyed.” Best Men Assured. Answered No. 2 is “par” on this one. Most of the questions are like that, covering hypothetical equations which involve illicit bottles, stray odors, broken-down trucks, fake per- mits and other standard properties of the prohibition drama. ‘The oral tests will be directed more particularly to the applicant’s mental and psychological qualifications, this being the first instance in which behavioristc psychology has been called to the aid of law enforcement. “We are assured that we will be able to select men of the highest com- petence and character,” said Dr. Ed- son. “‘Personally, I believe the civil service system, rather %han working toward mediocrity, works for the se- lection of the best men. We are en- deavoring to conduct these examina- tions with a view, first of all, to the honesty and ability of the applicants. ‘We will follow the examinations with most minute researches covering the assoclations, personal records, habits and character of each applicant, not only in his own community, but in his own neighborhood.” Positions to be filled pay from $1,140 for a warehouse watchman to $6,000 for prohibition administrator. Junior prohibition agents will receive $1,860 a year; prohibition agents $2,400; Junior prohibition investigators $2,400; prohibition investigators, $3,000; jun- jor alcohol and brewery inspectors $2,400, and alcohol and brewery in- spectors $3,000. The applicants include ministers, former bartenders, young collegians, business men, college professors, chaufeurs, policemen, watchmen and men of many other callings.
