A PLAN FRUSTRATED.
Civil Service Commission Made a
Transfer Impossible.

That the civil service commission often
spoils the plans Of heads of government
bureaus and departments is evidenced by a
little comedy that has recently played itself
out at the pension office. One Of the en-
ployes of the bureau. who occupies an i'm
portant position. has made himself I'M
popular with the higher officials and effort
has been made from time to time to dis
lodge him from his position, in which he
is firmly entrenched behind the civil serv-
ice rules. barrier which has been erected
about his particular position since he was
appointed thereto. When the recent change
Of administration of the bureau occurred
all eyes were turned toward this particular
man, and almost every one cogniZant of the
facts in his case felt assured that some
move would be made to disiodge him. A
careful plan was prepared and action
started. Under the civil service rules the
official could not be dismissed except on
specific charges. and these could not very
well be brought. 1t was determined, how
ever, to promote him to higher position,
which he could not possibly fill, and get
rid of him in that way, either by dis
charge or through his resignation, the lat
ter plan being preferred as it was thought
the official would resign when he found
the work uncongenial. A man in another
department was found who was well quail
fled to perform the duties of the official in
question and arrangements were made to
effect his transfer to the pension bureau.
Acting on this plan the unpopular official
was promoted to the new position and an
addition of 500 per year was tackled on
his salary, the position he was forsaking
paying $1,4OO. while the job to which he
was promoted paid $1,000 Request was
made for the transfer of the man from the
other department and was about to be
acted upon favOrably when the civil service
commission stepped in and demanded that
the man to be transferred should take the
examination for the position in the PEN
sion bureau before he should be allowed to
assume the duties of the job This the
man in the other department refused to
do, because the examination included GER
tain learned questions in sciences with
which he was not the least familiar in
theory, although for all practical purposes
he was thoroughly acquainted with them,
and he knew, therefore, that he would not
be able to pass the examination. The PEN
sion bureau officials then set their heads
together to find some one else to take the
position, and no one could take 1t. They
were forced, therefore, to transfer the I'M
popular official back to his old duties, and
there he Is now, firmly entrenched behind
the civil service rules that protected him
before. and which protect not only him
now, but also the extra 500 per year salary
to which he was promoted when the
schemers set on foot their plan to get rid
of him. He cannot be reduced in salary
except for cause, therefore he has reason
to thank those who would have done him
harm for the good turn they have done him
instead.
