NO CLASSIFICATION
FOR CENSUS PRINTERS
Civil Service Commission
Denies Petition.
States That Petitioners Have No Legal
or Equitable Claim to Be In
cluded in Service.

Inc consideration given by the Civil
service Commission to vhe petition OF
the employees of the printing division OF
the census Office that they be placed
in the classified service has resulted
IN the decision that the petitioners had
neither legal ror an equitable clairs
to be classified.
The latter part of March a petitio
was presented TO the President asking
ihat the printers In the Census Bureau
be included in the classified list. The
matter was referred for consideration
conclusion reached by the commission
was based upon the following considera-
lions:
Manifestly Inequitable.
1.-THE Government Printing Office has
now an extra force OF between 200 and
SCO. principally compositors. appointed
from the registers of the commission.
who viii have 10 be discharged when
the work decreases after the adjourn
ment of Congress. II. under these cir
cumstances. others are transferred into
the office an equal number of the pres
cnt employees would necessarily be dis
placed. This would be manifesily In
equitable. II would also result in detri-
ment 20 the service. since the testimony
OF printing Office officials Is that the
persons appointed as the result of pass
irg the commissions examinations are.
as a class. distinctly superior TO those
appointed under the old system of po-
litical patronage.
'The employees of the printing division
of the Census Office entered that service
with the understanding that it was
merely temporary. and that Il was en-
tirely outside the classification. There
therefore 1t cannot be said that any eN-
press or implied right to retention or
has arisen, or that any in
justice Is done them by the termination
OF their employment. The fact that
they have already enjoyed employment
which was in the nature OF special
privilege is no ground for granting them
further special privileges which would
necessarily diminish correspondingly the |
OF others who have a prior |
right TO consideration. besides probably |
operating also to the detriment of the |
service"

Under
a House
In MiddIebranch, We'd
nesday Night.
Kitchen Was Blown In
TO Many Pieces.
Family, Though y Frightened,
Escaped Unhurs.

George E. Werner, resident OF
Nliddlebranch, Stark county, called at
Police headquarters here, Thursday
morning and stated. that an attempt
was made to blow up his house with
dynamite or some either powerful ex-
plosive, Wednesday night, between 10
and II o'clock.
The explosive was placed under the
kitchen, which was the only portion
of the place which had an open space
beneath, and to this fact Mr.. Werner
believes he owes his escape from a
terrible death. The explosion was
secured by means of fuses attached
to a rope. The charge had been
showed under the kitchen to a point
as near the rest of the house as pos
sible.'
The kitchen was literally blown to
pieces by the explosion, and heayH
oak planks were torn and twisted,
The floor was blown through the
roof cook stove was smashed, and
a table broken into kindling wood.
All the windows in the house were
broken, but Mr.. Werner and his fam
lily, though badly frightened, escaped
unhurt. Mr. Werner could tell of
no enemy nor give any clue to the
dynamiters. He was sent to Canton
as the offense took place in Stark
county. Middlebranch is II miles
north of Canton, on the c. G. S.

eminently their own, have seen to 1t
that the noise made by the first boy
