NATIONAL CIVIL SERVICE RE-
FORM LEAGUE STRIKES.
Alleee That the Mckinley Admins
tration Has Not Been Doing the
Square Thing by the Civil Service
Act Of 1SS3-schedule of Com
plants with Statistical Trimmings.
BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press

sy Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 1S--The committee
of the National Civil-Service- Reform
League appointed to investigate the
condition of the Federal civil service.
and the enforcement OF the reform law
and rules under the present admins
tration, has made public it's report and
conclusions.
In enacting the civil service law. in
1889, the committee shows. congress in
tended that the system should ult'-
mately embrace the entire subordinate
executive service. Or as the senate
committee declared in reporting the
bill, "all that vast number of appoint
ed officials who carry into effect the
orders of the president whose
duties do not change with a change
Of administration. and who have moth
ing to do with framing the political
policies Of the government" Section six
of the act made provision for a grad
ual extension Of the system. through
the action of the president and heads
Of departments, until this end might
be effected.
From the date of the passage of the
hct, until May 20, 1899. this extension
each president making important addi-
aions to the classified aist and strength
eninS the rules to guard against evas-
ions. The latest Of these additions had
been IN effect for about year when
the present administration came into
poWvr, but by far the greater part Of
kai0 Wor4E necessary to the completion of
tho reform remained to be done. With
this fast in view the Republican party,
at its convention in 1896, had renewed
Its repeated declarations not only that
The law should be thoroughly and hon
estfy enforced, but that 1t should be
extended wherever practicable
Law Dishonestly Enforced.
Tho committee reports, however that,
wfnle IN many Of the branches that
have besn longest classified. the sys-
TEN has been unimpaired and has con-
tnued to produce excellent results, 1t
Eannot be said that the law has been
"thoronshly and honestly enforced"
while, with the exception OF the start
made In the establishment Of rules for
the Philippines service, covered in
separate report to the league-con-
spicuous and unusual opportunities for
It's extension, where clearly "prac-
tica4le," have deliberately been set
aside.
The progress Of the reform, in it's
application to the Federal service, has.
in brief, been seriously checked. That
this is At variance with the declared
purposes of President Mckinley, and
with his professed wishes for the well
fare Of the service while under his con-
troll, Is recognized and the committee
earnestly recommends that the facts it
submits be presented for the presi-
dents consideration.
