EXAMINATION PLAN NEW
Reclassification Provides Test of
Qualifications Required In Each
Branch of Employment.
Radical departure from the metb
od of conducting civil service exam
inations for applicants for positions
In the municipal service was effected
yesterday when the civil service board
by unanimous vote adopted a repor
submitted by Commissioner George C.
ilason. The new plan will be utilized
In not only making permanent ap
pointments to positions now filled by
temporary appointment, but will also
be utilised in filling- the eligible lists,
many of which now contain no names.
At present there are more than 00
persona on the city payroll working
under temporary appointment. Such
persons are not under the control of
the civil service board. noV do they
enjoy the protection which civil serv
ice provides. To conduct examina
tions under the old plan for the filling-
of all such positions would con
sume more than two yearsl time, ac
cording to Commissioner Mason. '
Classification Is Provided.
The new plan provides for the plao
tng of all positions In 131 classifica
tions and the inclusion of each clas
sification into one of five subdivi
sions. For each subdivision a differ
ent method of examination is pro
Tided and in only one such division
is the present method of written tech
nical examination provided.
The new plan places all positions
n hich are known as promotion exam
inations into one subdivision, and in
the examination of all applicants for
any of the positions listed in this
division experience and refere'nces
alone will be utilised. It Is pointed out
that all applicants for promotion have
already taken a civil service exam
Ination. showing them to be compe
tent for the position to which they
have been appointed, and it Is argued
that past experience is the real asset
together with the references which
will Inform the board of their con
duct at work during the past.
Experience to Be Test.
In a few classifications Included In
this list, which cannot be designated
as promotion examinations. Commis
sioner Mason declares that experience
alone 'will decide If the applicants
are qualified to hold such positions.
In the case of positions which re
quire technical knowledge alone, the
old form of written examinations with
questions concerning the work which
the positions require, will be held.
This subdivision is the only one which
contains positions to be filled by the'
old method of examinations.
Another group of positions will be
filled by examinations of only a gen
eral character, the exact method to
be prescribed by the members of the
board after careful inquiry into the
nature of the work In relation to
each position to be filled.
Physique to Be Baals.
Laborers, park tenders, janitors
' and similar employes will be chosen
by physical examinations alone, and
the fifth sub-division is composed of
positions wherein expert work is re
quired, and all such positions will be
filled by practical demonstrations of
ability.
Within a very few months, the
board expects to fill all positions
now held by temporary appointment
and In addition to create eligible
lists for every position In the city
service.
To carry out this object, it has
been provided, that during April
three technical examinations will be
held to fill the positions of inspector
of public works, clerk and structural
draftsman. The board also Instructed
Secretary Marion to arrange for
pnt-ical examinations In April for
the appointment of janitors, laborers.
park helpers, and in May similar ex
aminations for stokers, attendants of
comfort stations, elevator men and
cement workers. -
Other Examination Set.
Experience examinations, which
require the applicant to file informa
tion from which the board can deter
mine the past record of the appli
cants, as well as references, will also
be held during April for the filling
of eligible lists for the following
positions: Assistant commissioner.
private secretary, departmental chief
clerk, chief clerk of department of
public utilities; chief - clerk of bu
reau, Dureau chief, civil engineer.
civil engineer In building inspector's
bureau, assistant engineer of water
bureau, general foreman, chief en
crlneer of fire bureau, battalion
chief, captain fire bureau, first en
gineer fire boat, building Inspector,
superintendent street cleaning bu
reau, playground director, senior
gymnasium and playground director,
erappler, curator of museums, wharf
inger, dock watchman, director pub
lie employment bureau, secretary of
motion picture - censorship board,
cusioaian eeneon park, market mas
ter, playground supervisor, superin
tendent of incinerator, superintend
ent of parks. Inspector of police, cap
tain of police, inspector Class A po
lice bureau. Innpector Class B police
bureau, superintendent division of
public safety, assistant superintend
ent, womens' protective division, ma
tron police department and lieuten
ant of motorcycle squad.
Following the holding of these ex
aminations, all such positions now
filled by temporary appointment will
be filled from the eligble list re
suiting from the civil service ex
amlnatlons.
Improvement la Expected.
Through the adoption of tha nen
plan, the members of the civtj service
board feel that not only will positions
row filled by temporary appointment
j be permanently filled and the eligible
iim compuea, out in addition toe pro
visions of civil service as outlined In
the charter will be carried out.
During the war it was virtually
impossible for the city to obtain men
who would work for the city, and as
a result temporary appointments were
made by the hundreds. Under the old
plan It was impossible to hold more
than 10 or 15 examinations a month,
and at the rate it was going, it was
obvious that it would have been years
before .the board could have effected
a return to the true principles of civil
service regulation. -
Members of the board are alao'of
the opinion that Mr. Mason's plan pre
sent a businesslike way of filling
positions in the city service, because
of the provisions for practical dem
onstrations as well as theoretical
testa.

( Snecial.) An uneXDecied finale -to
the case for the defense in the trial
of the ten I. W. W. charged with the
Centralia armistice day crime, came
today when B. W. Thrall, one of the
pseudo labor jurors attendant at ses
sions, testified that he had aided the
defense in procuring testimony.
Thrall, a railroad brakeman of Cen
tralis was called to the stand by
George F. Vanderveer, I. W. W. coun
sel, to give testimony in corrobora
tion of a. Drevious witness. He left
his seat among the labor representa
tives, where he sat as a self-styled
"juror" and took the witness stand.
Thrall Defiant in Grilling.
Under cross-examination by W. H.
Abel, special prosecutor. Thrall ad-
mitred that while acting as a labor
juror," he had assisted the defense in
procuring at least one Witness to
testify for the accused, and that he
himself had been for more than .three
weeks under subpoena as a witness.
Defiant under the , grilling, Thrall,
nevertheless, was forced to snow the
hand of. partisanship.
"With the presentation "of three
witnesses in sur-rebuttal, the defense
closed its case. ' Judge John M.: Wil

A joint order directing railroads

instead of Pacific time may be issued
by the Idaho public utilities commis
sion and the Oregon public service
commission. .
This "short cut" for avoidance Of

Sweeley of the Idaho public utilities
commission, who has broached the
subject to the Oregon commission
Mr. Sweeley was advised today that
the Oregon commission has submitted
the matter to the Oregon attorney
general to decide whether the Oregon
commission has authority to issue the
order.
Commissioner Sweeley said today
there was no question, in his opinion,
that i the Idaho commission has au
thorlty to prescribe the time under
which Idaho railroads shall operate.
Writing to the Oregon commission,
he said in part:
"We would have no difficulty with
the matter except for the fact that
the Oregon Short Line railroad di
vision point on .the west is at Hunt
ington, which is in-your state. This
leaves a few miles of that division
unaffected by any order we may
make unless we can obtain your con
currence."

Miss McVeigh, Recipient of Royal
-Red Cross, Now Makes Home
in Portland.
In recognition of more than four
years' service as an army nurse with
the British forces work which car
ried her as far away as Egypt and
Salonika Miss Elizabeth McVeigh
was last night presented with the
decoration of the Royal Red Cross at
special ceremonies in the Canadian
Veterans' association hall. The pre
sentation was made by British Consul
John P. Trant and was followed by a
musical programme and dance.
Miss McVeigh is how making her
home in Portland with her sister, Mrs.
W. J. Smith of 481 hi Benton street,
but formerly lived in Belfast, Ireland.
She began her war service in 1915,
when she went to London to join the
Queen Victoria Institute for Visiting
Nurses, an organization which cared
for the thousands of Belgian refugees
who crossed the channel after the
German invasion. Previous to that
time she had a yeafg experience nurs
ing In her home city.
For six months Miss McVeigh re
mained with the Institute, then joined
the, Beaufort hospital at Bristol, being
attached to this a yiar and a half.
From there she, went to the hospital
ship. Glenghorn Castle, which sailed
for Egypt, and was transferred, from
this to another similar, ship, the
Esiquibo. Aboard these vessels she
sailed through dangerous waters, at
one time having a narrow escape
when a submarine was sighted. One
of the boats carried 1600 soldiers and
150 nurse. .
Miss McVeigh was two years in a
military hospital In Salonika, where
shelters for 1500 men were of canvas
and tin lanterns formed the only
illumination at night. Later she was
in a casualty hospital back of the
front lines during the last drive Im
mediately before the signing of the
armistice. Here temporary relief was
given to British, Serbs, Hindus and
Greeks passing through on their way
back to base hospitals.
Mr. Trant last night, in speaking of
the decoration, - said that It is a
symbol of gratitude to -those who
gave faithful service In the 'nursing
corps and 11 not an emblem of any in
dividual instance of heroism. He
praised the courage of the nurses and
complimented Miss McVeigh upon her
steadfastness and bravery.
