| Washington, March THE president
has approved sundry amendments of
the civil service rules. The amendment
are largely formal and Were made nee
essary in consequence Of the recent
extension of the classification in the de-
partmental service to include messen-
I gers, assistant messengers and watch
men, and the classification of the inter
( nal revenue service. One of the amend
ments gives the civil service commits
| sion authority in its discretion to re-
! ject the application or TO refuse the
certification OF an applicant who has
been guilty of crime or Of Infamous
or VIGOROUSLY disgraceful conduct.
Prior TO this amendment the commits
/ sion only had the power with reference
to certification in such cases.
Age limitations have been prescribed
I for the new classes brought within the
classified service by the recent extern
sion. These limits are: For meSsen-
gers or assistant messengers, not under
Is; for page or messenger boy, not under
"A nor over Is years OF age.
y further amendment provides for
transfers from the internal revenue ser
vice TO a bureau in the treasury depart
ment in which business relating 10 the
internal revenue is transacted and from
such a bureau 10 the internal revenue
service, this amendment being in all re-
SpectS similar TO the provision now
existing with reference to transfers
from the customs service TO the treas
urp department, and from the depart
ment to the customs service. y pro
Viso has been added which authorizes
rY.uta s-fa ~ i'm
Washington TO another without exami-
nation.
READY FOR THE CHANGE.
This amendment has been made in
view of the fact that civil service law
has now been in operation in the depart
mental service more than eleven years
and that large proportion OF the en-
ployes now in these departments have
entered the service through the civil
service examinations and the further
fact that those who have not been so
appointed have had long experience and
have acquired a valuable knowledge not
only of the business of the department
in which they are employed. but OF the
public service generally. In view OF
these considerations il was believed
that the time had come when transfers
from one department TO another, where
the transfer is to be place and class
the department from which the trans
fer is made. might be without eXamina-
ton. and without detriment to the pub
lie interest.
A further amendment to the rules
provides that persons appointed as mes
snngers. assistant messengers, watch
men or any other subordinate capacity
below the positions of clerk and COPY
ist. may be transferred after completing
the probation of six months II not De
barred by age limitations, to any other
like subordinate positions. But they
may not be promoted to the position OF
clerk or copyist or to any place the du-
ties of which are clerical. An exception
is made with regard to printers assist
ants in the bureau of engrdvlnS ana
printing who are only eligible to trans
fer to the grade of operatives in that
bureau.
