..fit, county nnd city Rnenm.rnts of
Pennsylvania Is the objrrt of rccom
mcndtttloni mnde totlny by the Ponnsyl
rtnla Civil Service Ilcform Association.
In n statement prepared for tlio con
stitutional revision commission, officials
of the nsooeintlon suftitcstted insertion of
the following provision in tic stnte con-
ntltutlon:
"Appointments nnd promotions In
the rhll ten Ice- of the stnto and of nil
the civil divisions thereof, Including
counties and cities, Minll bo nindo nc
cordltiK to rierlt nnd fitness, to be as
certained, m fur ns prnctienblp, (v ex
mlnatlon, wlilcli so far ns prnetlcnble
jballbcconipeUtlyp."
Thfre is n wide discrepancy in pay
for positions f identical work under
the Philadelphia miiniclpnl nnd county
croTetiimcnts, mroiriiiic to the associa
tion's ftatuiifnt.
Wage Unfairness Alleged
"Tills Is illnstrnted ns follows," the
report sajs. "enlnricH of eleven mes
icnwrn not in the city dcpitttmenU
range from RitOO to ?1G00. ns nuninst
salaries of twenty-nine messengers in
the clh departments ranging from $000
"Nine chief clciks riot in the citv
dipsrtmentH receive salaries from SI 700
to $.1000.
"The remaining twenty chief clerks
in the citv departments receive from
$1200 to $2u00. In the case of janitors
tnd cleaners the discrepancy is still
more marked for the 200 who receive
the lowest salaries ore nil in the city
departments, while the forty-nine who
receive the highest pay nichll in the
departments not under the civil Bcrvlco
law.
"On an average tho pny of messen
rers, not in departments Under the
Mayor, is $218 higher than Hint re
vived by those hi departments under
the Ma,vbr; the pny of tho 'county'
chief clerks in $300 higher than those
in mo 'city' ucpnrtnicnts, and tno aver
age pny of Janitors nnd cleaners not
In 'city' departments Is $454 more than
thnt of tboso in 'city departments."
Mandamus Kill Scored
The drainon the city trensury through
writs of mandamus for positions not
under the control of the municipal an
thorltlco is touched upon in tho report.
From 1011 to 1010, it rtatcd, n total
of $258,20.1.57 in salaries was man;
damused from the city treasury.
In tho administrative departments of.
the state government, the report coh-.
Unties, there arc 3357 nonpollticnl ap
pointive positions, calling for an annual
payroll of $5,020,104.
'"Tharc nrc still mnn thousands of
nppointlvc positions in Pennsylvania,"
the report ndded, "which are not subject
to even a partial civil ncrvlce sjntem.
"llilnking people acknowledge thnt a
political administration of labor emplo -tnent
gives unlimited opportunities for
inefficiency, for increasing the high
cost of government, nnd for the building
of political machines nt the expense of
the public treasury."
