OTTAWA, Ont, October 8.— De- elaring that “salvation in the face of inevitably expanding government lles only in the perfection of the merit eystem,” Samuel H. Ordway, jr., new member of the United States Civil Bervice Commission, emphasized in a epeech last night that this can be brought abowt solely through educa- tion of the public. Ordway spoke at the dinner which eoncluded the annual meeting of the Civil Service Assembly of the United States and Canada, which heard also Lord Tweedsmuir, the Governor Gen- eral of Canada, and Secretary of State Rinfret. . “The meaning of open competition and the nature of recruitment, the advantages and disadvantages of edu- cational requirements, the nature of training employes at work, and the nature of personnel management are all matters which must be understood by the people,” Commissioner Ordway said. Patronage Propaganda Heavy. “Without such education, legisla- fors will continue to impose upon the people, block the application of merit principles and sanction patronage. The propaganda of patronage is more de- talled and more appealing than the propaganda of merit. When a poli- tician states: ‘This little girl can Al any job anybody else can fill. She has as big a heart and head as any- body,’ people sympathize. We must humanize the propaganda of merit also.” Ordway added that an improve- ment in teaching civics in schools and colleges was necessary in the general plan of educating the public. At the afternoon meeting of the assembly, Jacob Baker, president of the United Federal Workers of Amer- ica, “white collar” affiliate of the Committee for Industrial Organiza- tion, attacked the motives behind re- eurrent discussion of the right of Government employes to strike, Sees Non-Issue Question, Baying that “the right to strike has never been an issue, to my knowledge, in any organization of Government employes,” Baker added: “I believe the present general in- terest! in Government employes and the strike stems from perhaps two mo- tives. The first motive I assign to a general bias against unionism. The newspapers and the organizations Which sponsor these discussions, since they can find no valid or tenable ob- jection to the organization of Gov- ernment employes, are attempting to discredit unions among Government employes by insinuating motives and tactics to them that do not exist. )Government employes to strike. “By & not too subtle and not too logical extension of the theory regard- ing the impropriety of striking Gov- ernment workers we are now witness- ing & calculated effort to widen this restriction to include other workers who are not Government workers.” In this connection, he recalled the recent move of the Maritime Commis- sion against striking seamen on an American ship. —e BATTLE RITES HELD Story of Kings Mountain Fight Related at Celebration.
