TEMPORARY CENSUS CLERKS.
Mann Offers Important Amendment,
Which Is Dropped.

\ very important amendment affecting
the employment OF temporary clerks III
tho census bureau was offered by MT
Tawncy today in the House. The erect
OF the amendment would be to give the
director Of the census the right to employ
temporary clerks from states which may
have their quota already.
Mr.. Langley of Kentucky, explaining
the amendment, said that the director
would find difficulty in getting temporary
clerks from distant states to which under
the present law he would have to apply
as most of the nearby states have the
quotas full.
The amendment was opposed vigorous
" by several members, who charged that
it violates the civil service principle OF
the census bill. Mr.. Langley and Mr.
Tawney denied this and strongly advo-
Gated the amendment.
Finally Mr.. Mann of illinois raised a
point of order against the amendment
The point was sustained and the amend
ment was dropped.
