In response to letter of inquiry from W.

partment, James N. Tyner, assistant attor-
ney general for the postofiice department,
wrote that when the civil service commission
certified three names for appointment and
one Of them was discharged sailor or sol.
dier. he must be selected for the place. It
was suggested in the inquiry that Il the ap-
pointing power were allowed NO choice In
such q case, it would be uselsss for the com

ofthe exsoldier or sailor. Ar. Tynsr said
as to this. that II the name ofbut one eligible

venience and desirability of having three
