THE OLD. SOLDIER CLAUSE
a'e't'o. "7sther D'.eA"rse' with
Beneat ~ Old Soldiers.

Members OF .theS civil service commission
are showing considerable anxiety over the
policy Of the various departments Of the
government which looks to the reinstate-
ment of all ex-Union soldiers or the widows
OF ex-Union soldiers In the places from
which they were removed during the Cleve-
lepd administration provided, of course.
they are shown to have good records for
work and are still efficient. 1t is said that
this can only be done by very consilera-
Die discharge of people now in the classi-
ned service. and that such discharges will
be practical violation of the civil service
law.
The fact is being presented that such dis
charges can be made to an unlimited ex-
tent. and that the one regulation approved
by the President, which provides that no
one shall be discharged for political rea-
sors is dead letter. OF course. no head
OF department. If asked by the COM
mission to tell why he discharged this or
that man. viii acknowledge that politics
had anything to do with it. He has only
to say the discharge was for the good Of
the service and there the matter must
necessarily end. While the civil service
commission has a very extensive set OF
regulations for the government OF the clas-
sif1ed service, 1t Is said to be wholly with
out power to enforce any Of these resula-
tioEs, or even to carry on an tnvestiga-
ton which will result in anything of cen
sequence.
Amy discharged employe of the classified
service may appeal to the civil service
commission, and may bring to that COM
mission what might appear to be conclu-
sive evidence that politics was the cause
Of his dismissal. All the commission could
do. 1t Is asserted by those who are well in
formed, is to refer the matter to the secre-
tary under whom the employe was engaged.
The secretary might answer that he had
dismissed the man for satisfactory reasons
to himself. and that would necessarily be
the end of the matter.
or course. 1t has always been understood
that the civil service commission only pro-
tected the front door of the departmental
service, leaving the back door wide open.
The back door. being open. did not invite
discharges SO long as the front door was
closed but now that great numbers of ex:
Union soldiers and widows of ex-Union
soldiers are being reinstated, there is. in
number of instances, a crowded condition,
which make a reduction of the force ab-
solutely necessary.
Robert T. Bibb. who was lately dismissed
from the position Of assistant foreman Of
the navy branch OF the government print
ing Office. has filed an application with the
civil service commission for reinstatement
1t Is understood that Mr.. Bibb will en-
deavor to test the law and see whether or
not 1t Is possible for one in his position to
prevent his election from the service. when
a record for efficiency can be shown.
