VIEW OF THE COMMISSION.
Judges Decision Is Not Iniinical to the
Service, 1t Is Asserted.

Judges Decision Is Not Iniinical to the
Service, 1t Is Asserted.
That the civil service commission does
not regard the decision of Judge Cox
as inimical to the service is indicated
by the following statement made by one
of the members of that body: THE
opinion of Judge Cox in no way affects
the binding character of the presidents
order upon all officers of the service.
The president has authority inherent in
his Office to make removals. The intent
was that the appointing officer in maxi
ing removals should be put on record
as to the grounds Of his action and give
the accused an opportunity to be heard
in his own defense. 1t was deemed
that this action would prevent removals
for other causes than the good of the
service. Such an order does not in the
least impair the power of discipline nor
impede the proper exercise of the power
of removal. 1t simply serves as check
upon the appointing officer who acts
from political or less worthy motives.
THE appointing officer who acts with
sole regard to the best interests of the
service will Deem it but just to the pub
lie and to the employe affected that a
record be made. 1t was the lack OF
just such records as these that has
,, given opportunity to the critics of the
civil service law since its enactment to
charge that removals from the public
service have been made mainly for po-
litfcaf reasons. The fact is that the
! majority of removals have been made
I for perfectly proper reasons. but be-
| cause these reasons were not put upon
| record different administrations have
! exposed themselves to much unjust
criticism.
! 1.-The practice Of making a record OF
! the reasons for removals has existed for
many years in some parts Of the SER
| vice with highly beneficial results and
| the new order merely makes this prac-
| tice mandatory In all parts of the SER
vice. Undoubtedly many employees have
| been removed for political reasons be.
| cause no reason WAS required TO be
given by those in authority. In requir.
ing reasons henceforth to be given the
| rev order will, IL is believed. largely
check this abuse"
It Is probable that an appeal will b,
taken from the decision. and 1t 10 said

L1tt1mer StrikefS heeect proposition
Made by the Company.
Hazleton. Pa. Sept. Is. - Despite
variety of alarming rumorS and a morn
ing movement by a body Of miners
which looked formidable. yesterday
passed off without serious disturbance
in the strike region. Matters still wear
such an uncertain aspect, however. that
General Goblin declares that the removal
of the troops or of any portion of them
has not been contemplated. The str Ike
itself is spreading with great rapidity.
Exact estimates of the number of men
who have quit work are hard to OBJ
tain, but conservative figures place it
close to 10000, with indications that in
short time every colliery of Importance
in the region will be idle. Although
some disposition has been shown by
small bodies Of strikers in the outlying
districts to make demonstrations. they
have been of a rather feeble character.
At Lattimer yesterday afternoon a
largely attended and decisive meeting
of strikers was held to receive the an
swer of the company to their demands.
With large body strikers gathered in
the open space before the company's
store Superintendent Blake appeared
at the door and gave them their answer.
1t was short and to the point and was
met with action equally as decisive.
The demands had been formulated as
follows: We desire and wish the
privilege Of buying our provisions where
we think proper. instead of being forced
to buy at the company's store; We want
20 per cent. advance on all classes of
labor; we demand the dismissal of all
| parties who took part on last Friday,
| Sept. 10, in the shooting ARRAY: we de-
| mand that all classes of labor be paid
| the same for rock work as for coal on
| be discharged for acting on this COM
| mittee."
| The company'S answer to this was:
| First that the men are not, and never
| have been, Obliged to buy exclusively
! at the company store; second. that the
! advance would not be granted because
the company was paying the average
rate of the region; third. the company
| absolutely refused, without assigning
any reason. to discharge anybody who
participated in the shooting; fourth.
| that men suspended on idle days have
the privilege of taking some other per-
sons place, thus making good the diff
ference in rate between rock and coal
work; and fifth, that no man shall be
| discharged for acting on the grievance
| committee.
The men promptly rejected this propo-
sition.
