CENSUS RULES
Governing Applications For Positions
in the Department

New York April 20.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Director Merriam has promulgated
rules for the examination OF applicants
for appointment in the census Office to
any grade higher than that of laborer."
The efforts to incorporate in the law
providing for the taking of the twelfth
census a civil service provision were
unsuccessful and Director Merriam
therefore found himself threatened at
the outset with evils which might rem
der unsuccessful his most earnest ana
devoted efforts to have the best work
done within the shortest practicable
period for the benefit of the country, as
we'll as to sustain and add to his own
high reputation as a business man and
an administrative officer. In the hope
of averting such disaster the most
stringent rules within the scope of ex-
ecutive authority have been established
Under the law such rules can not ap-
ply in the case of enumerators or spec
ial agents, or to employees below the
grade of skilled laborers at $500 a year.
The rules recognize two lists of appli-
cants eligible to appointments list of
all those who earn a marking not be-
low rs and "a list of extra eligibles"
such as familiarity with the electrical
counting machines used in the eleventh
census, ability to make calculations by
the aid of tables of the logarithms, the
slide rule, and familiarity with the
arithmometer or other adding and cal
culating machines. All applicants for
appointment are to be examined in or
typography, copying, penmanShlp, ar1th-
metic, elements of the English lang
uage. letter writing and elements of
geography, history and government of
the United States and also subjected to
the practical tests above described.
Applicants for appointment as stenog-
raphers and typewriters will be required
to pass a supplemental examination
which will fairly test their ability for
such special work. In marking, pro-
ficiency in arithmeticaI calculations will
count so, in photography and penman-
ship 30, and the remaining subjects 20.
The time allowed for each examination
shall not exceed six and one-half hours
in any case Any applicant who re-
ceives a marking below rs will be placed
in the rejected list and be ineligible for
appointment; all others will be placed
in the list of eligibles Applicants who
fail on the first examination can not APP
pear for REORGANIZATION until after at
least ninety days, nor until they have
obtained the permission of the director

THE RIGHT TO STRIKE
Is About to Be Put to Legal Test in
Chicago.

Chicago, April 20.-The legal right of
labor unions to order strikes for the
purpose of enforcing their demands is
superior court. The complainant is the
Ornamental Iron Contracting firm of
Winslow Bros. Co, who have the con-
tract to supply the ornamental iron
work on the Lakeside building, where
there is a general strike. The building
trades council, the architectural iron
workers union and Levi z. Letter, are
made defendants. The bill seeks to en-
join Mr.. Letter from canceling his con-
tract with the complainant on account
of the delay due to the strike and also
prays that the defendant labor or
CARNATIONS be enjoined from issuing or
ders preventing the men from working
and furnishing by fines or otherwise,
plainant further desires protection by
injunction for the non-union men and
freedom for them from the threats,
arguments and force used by the
unions to prevent their working.
The architectural iron workers strike
was due to the refusal of the firm to
sign the new scale of wages, which
called for forty instead of thirty-fiVe
cents an hour. Other men were Sc
cured but before the work had pro-
ceeded far the building trades council
called a general strike in aid of the iron
workers. The bill alleges that since
then intimidation has been used against
men who desired to work and that po-
lice protection has been necessary 1t
cipitate a bitter legal fight as the COM
plainant is determined to get a final
ruling on the power of labor organiza-
lions to put stop to business.
