Alleged Violation of the Civil
Service Law.
A RE NJ EDY SUGG ESTED

committee of the National Civil Serv-
Ice Reform League appointed by thescoun-
Gil OF the league to investigate the condi-
ton of the federal civil service has pre-
sented a report concerning the employ
ment of laborers to perform the duties of
classified clerks. The report is signed by
William Dudley Foulke, Richard Henry
Dana, William A. Aiken, Charles Richard
son and George McAneny. The committee
by way of prefacing it's report quotes civil
service rule XIII as follows: mo person
who is appointed as Isborer or workman
without examination under the civil service
rules shall be assigned to work of the
same grade as that performed by classified
employees"
The committee says, in commenting on
this rule, that the necessity for it is OBJ
V1ous. If laborers may be employed for
classified work without restriction, the
CLASSIFIED service might be largely recruited
by means of appointments made by per-
sonal selection without the requirement of
examination
The report proceeds:
Increase in Laborers.
THE records of the appointment Of
ministration up to the end of the fiscal
year preceding the last report of the civil
service commission. show a great increase
in the labor force of the government. In
the departments at Washington alone, the
following table shows the number of per-
sons treated as below classification on
June 30, 1885, and on June 80, 1899, re-
spectively, with the increase during that
period

II CHESS CIRCLES.

A point Of very great Importance in the
ending Of great many games is the "op-
position" While a knowledge of this leads
to the saving of many games and the
winning of others and the principle is of
extreme simplicity. yet it is point that
has not come to some, who are pretty fair
players, who have never heard Of the word
In this connection, and some who know
the meaning Of the term have not learned
its practice on the chess board. Place the
two kings on the same colored squares.
