WAsHIN0ros, July 1l.-Postmaster
Adreou, Of Baltimore, recently wrote
Postmaster General Gresham that the
Civil Service Commission was commun-
icatinR directly with members Of the
local examining board at Baltimore,
who were employees in his office, and
that in his (Adreon's) opinion this Was
detrimental to the discipline Of the
offoo apd contrary TO custom, which
requires official communications TO sub
ordinates TO gu first to the heads Of de-
partments. The Postmaster G sneral
has replied TO Adreon that he sees no
improperly whatever in Civil Service
Commissioners communicating directly
with local board examiners relative to
their duties under the Law, notwith-
standing they are employees in his
office. The Postmaster General says:
"They are subordinates of yours in an
official sense, but in respect to duties
devolved upon them by the civil service
Law and rules, a. members of the local
board Of examiners, they are and
should be independent of any authority
save that created and conferred by law.
The very object and spirit of the law
require that they should be entirely free
from any interference or supervision on
the part Of head officers in matters re-
latinR to their civil service duties. In
this view of the case / think it entirely
proper that tho Civil Service Commits
sion should communicate directly with
them on matters relating to their duties
as members of the board. OF course it
is to be presumed the Commission will
do nothing in this behalf that will
interfere with the discipline Of your
Office. a. that would plainly be opposed
to the spirit Of the civil service law"
