Stead Memorial UV: THE HAGUE, Netherlands, April 15.— Solemn ceremonies marked the unveil- ing to-day in the Palace of Peace of the bust of the late William T. Stead, the to Suggest Salaries and Submit Ideas. City markable report to Mayor Mitchel to- suggests that the city employees Chamberlain Bruere, in a re- day help run the city departments instead of leaving the work entirely fn the hands of department heads. The City Chamberlain is confident that in many instances the real brains and best ideas are to be found among the clerks, who, because of the old feudal system which maintains, are never given an oppor- tunity to show their real worth. Mr. Bruere suggests that a com- mittee of employees, one to represent cach of the city departments under the Mayor's supervision, be appointed at The Mayor wil agree to this plan, which concerns 56,000 employees. ‘The employees will sugest plans for relations between the Administration and the employees. If the clerks or other department men think they have Ideas they will ba heard, They wil be asked what they consider the best solution of the great pension problem now being considered by a special committee. Tho questions of standardization of salaries, leaves of absences and training for advance- ment in the service also will be taken up.

Speaking of the past, when new heads of departments came in every four years and knew far less about the use of titles and by official glori fication, It is commonplace that subordinate employees in the city government may have year after year performed faithful service without recognition. It is ngular fact that tively few of the permanent emplo: ees of the city ach: executive positions, planning and directing forces of the govern ment are continually being recruited from outside the ranks of employees. The result of this practice is that there is a lack of continuity tn man- agement and failure to capitalize the enormous benefit of accumulated ex executive forces and the working forces. This has been due to the fre- quent change in executives and to a conventional formality in the relation- ecutive importance. The time should | come very soon when practically all | of the important executive positions | of the city will be filled by the ad- vance ment of men and women who atationa.
