Unfairness Is Alleged

from Th? Tribune's yashinplcm Bureau
WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.?The charge
that favoritism has been shown by the
War Department in the promotion <?;"
officers was made to-day in army cit
clet, where r imbl-ngs of discontent ;
have been LOticeable ever since it de
veloped that ma*ty junior officers wore '.
to be "jumped" ov r senior men v. hen
the President s?.n,!s a 1 i?= t. of approxi
natl; ' ' ?"' nominations t" the
Senate early i.i the c ?ming session.
The di-*sat I in t.nd out of the
tervice over the alleged unfairness in
?he selection of officers for higher;
grades, is expected to be reflect--^ in
the Senate when confirmation of the.
President's ' -* wi;l be sought. It i" '
genera.. ed that tne Senate will
decline to confirm tt*e list of promo?
tions, i ' the names until the
new administration comes in. March -1
The most n 7 ceable omission from
the list of nt w _-pr,eval oncers is the

prom- tiens have been criticized on tho
ground that they had not completed the
required twenty-two years' service at
the time of their selection.
Officers Criticize Chanjrea
In defense of the promotions mndi
it is shown that most of the new
younger hris.7adicrs were among the
ni ist brilliant and efficient officers de?
veloped by tin? World War, tuen who
had inade good in positions of high
administrative responsibility or in im?
portant commands in the field. Not- !
withstanding and nevertheless, there is ;
considerable fault finding and criti?
cism of the appointments generally by
friends of the officers passed by.
Secretary Baker to-day said he did
not care to discuss the reports of dis
content, except to say that General I
Pershing hud nothing to do with the
selections of the new general officers :
The President himself selected the new j
major genera's from the army at large,
said Mr. Baker, arid he also appointed
the brigadier generals; but in doing ,
that he made the selections from a gen- j
eral list of eligible? prepared by Gen?
erals Liggett, Bullard, Summerall,
Dickman and Harbord.
He thought it due also to th* officers !
affected to say that all the new major j
generals commanded corps during the ',
World War, General Shanks on this
side and all the others on the other ?
side of the ocean.
Alleged Thief, Captured by
Woman After Fight, Is Held
Charles Sinclair, of 24 Jane Street,
was held for examination yesterday in
Jefferson Market police court as a
thief who tri-.'d to snatch a purse con?
taining about $100 from Mrs. Margaret
Howeil as she entered the apartment
hcuse where she lies, at o? .Bank .
.- reet, Wednesday evening.
Magistrate Schwab complimented
Mrs. Rowe.ll on the plucky fight she
i tit -'.?-. which resulted in the cap?
ture of Sinclair. She grappled wij .
her assailant and they struggled for
several minutes until Charles R, I
? i ; Assistant District At
who lives in the house, heard
tion and came to the wom?
an's rescue.
Republicans to
Oust 250,000
Federal Clerks
iContlnu?*d from poo? ons)
between $300,000,000 and $400,000,000 to
the taxpayers, it is estimated.
Senator Lodge, Republican lender in
the upper house, and Representative
Mondell, Republican leader in the
lower house, both have announced
their intention of insisting unon
wholesale reductions in the number of
Federal employees.
The present Administration, however,
l?as submitted estimates to the House
Appropriations Committee that in
nearly every cas?? cull for additional
employees for the next fiscal venr.
Aboul the only exception that has been
noted is in the ease of the Bureau of
War Risk Insurance, where an immedi
, ate reduction of about 1.500 is roDorted
contemplated at once.
Chairman Wood said that he could
not understand why new clerks were
being asked for in the legislative bill,
which his committee hopes to have
ready for reporting to Congress by
December 15.
"We have to-dny in W<*shin?7ton
under the civil service somethine- over
90,000 employees and between 5,000 and
0,0 10 unclassified, making a total of
95.000 government employees here."
said Mr. Wood. "Before the war there
were about 07,000. It is idle for anv
one to say that there is now three
times as much work done here as be?
fore the war.
"There are twenty-five or thirty In?
dependent bureaus, meant by the law
that created them to be merely for
the war emergency, that are trying to
induce us to make them permanent and
to get a larger force than before.
"Every man who comes before us
agrees that there ought to be; a re?
duction in the number of civil service
employees in Washington, but they in?
sist that the cut mu&t come somewhere
else than in their own offices."
Increases Asked
Among the government establish?
ments asking for increases in person?
nel, Chairman Wood said, are the fol?
low ii.g :
The Bureau of Internal Revenue.
which is a king thai its force be
I doubled. This bureau receives a lump
sum appropriation and the salaries are
not restricted as are those on the
[ statutory rolls.
The Treasury, which la asking for
an increase of about one-third more
than at present.
? The Department of Labor, which is
asking for an increase of abouti 50 per
cent. *
The Public Health Service, which
also seeks a big Increase.
"M,ost?of t)1??..increases are unrea?
sonable, said Mr. Wood. "The Re
cans promised the people of the
country that there would be retrench?
ment in government expenditures. My
bill probably will be the first oppor?
tunity for the people to see how sin?
cere we are. 1 am going to do my
Dest to keep my won] to the people."
