Force and the Civil Service Law.
Nothing Is known at the Congressional
Library about. any reported change of in
tention on the part Of Mr.. Mckinley IN
regard to plaring the force there in the
classified service OF, the government.
When Mr.. Young was appointed librarian
he was told by Mr.. Mckinley that he pro-
posed placing his force in the classified
service. and about a month ago this in
tention was repeated. ..,.~....,-
When seen by Star reporter today Lii
brarian Young said that so far as he was
concerned, he was not especially Interested
in what was done In the matter.
He had not examined the law with a view
to determining whether the law made his
Office an executive or legislative branch of
the service. He had made all his appoint
ments, he said, after more strict exami-
nations than would have been required had
1t been under the civil service commission.
and he was well satisfied with the class of
employees he had secured. - ~ ass
