RANDOLPH OFFERS
U. S. EMPLOYE BILL
Provides for Promotion
Based on “Satisfactory
Service.”
BY WILL P. KENNEDY.
Promotion in the Government serv
ice based on "satisfactory service,” to
replace the uniform system of effi
ciency ratings, is proposed in a bill
Introduced late yesterday by Repre
sentative Jennings Randolph, Demo
crat, of West Virginia, a member of
the Civil Service Committee. This
is offered as an amendment to the
classification act of 1923. However,
It is disclosed that there is small
chance of any civil service reform
legislation being passed at this ses
sion, pending action in the President's
reorganization recommendations.
The Randolph bill specifically would
relieve the departments from the man
datory requirement that they operate
the uniform system of efficiency rat
ings and the Civil Service Commis
sion from reviewing the ratings.
The sole basis for determining sal
ary rates within a grade, according
to the wording of the new bill, would
be determination by a department that
an employe "has rendered satisfactory
service.” Then, unless there is a spe
cific rating of "unsatisfactory” on the
record of the employe, he or she
would be entitled to automatic pro
motion each year until attaining the
highest salary within the grade.
An employe who retains for five
years a "satisfactory" rating at the
highest salary in a grade would be
entitled to an automatic increase of
$100 a year. Then there would be
automatic increases of $100 for "sat
isfactory” service every 10 years dur
ing an employe's service.
Non-competitive examination would
be provided for promotion of an em
ploye who has had less than 20 years'
service after reaching the highest
rate of pay within a grade. Having
passed this test, the employe's name
would be placed on a register for pro
motion into the next higher grade
whenever a vacancy might occur.
The bill specifically exempts the
Government Printing Office and the
Foreign Service from its provisions,
which otherwise applies to all Gov
ernment employes in the depart
mental service in Washington and in
the field service.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada, is sponsoring a similar bill,
which is pending before the Senate
Civil Service Committee. At the re
quest of the Budget Bureau the Mc
Carran bill is being held up pending
a survey being made of the entire
Government classification system by
direction of the President.

PENSION FIGHT AVOIDED
Railroads Will Not Take New
Program to Courts, Claim.
R. V. Fletcher, counsel for the As
sociation of American Railroads, told
the House Ways and Means Committee
yesterday the carriers would not take a
new railway pension program into the
courts.
The committee was considering a
bill to tax railway pay rolls and rail
employes’ incomes. The bill is linked
with another, not yet introduced, pro
viding for a railway retirement sys
tem.
The bills are designed to replace the
present rail pension system that has
been under attack by the railways in
the courts.
