President Taft has personally interested
himself Ia behalf Of the seventy seven
employees of the Sixth Auditors Office.
whose services will not be required In
connection with post-ofice accounts after
June 80 next.
He has also interceded in behalf of
the one-hundred-odd employees Of the is
sue division Of the Treasury Depart
ment who were scheduled for dismissal
on the same date and from present indi-
cations not one of them will be deprived
Of employment
Vacancies Not Filled.
For some time past, upon order OF the
Secretary Of the Treasury, vacancies as
they have occurred in the service by
resignation, transfer, death, or discharge
have not been filled, and at the present
time more than eighty places have thus
been obtained, TO which many of the
old employees of the two branches OF the
department VIII be transferred at the
appointed time.
Similar action between now and June
80 will greatly add 10 the number that
can thus be provided for. but there
would still remain portion of the list
whose discharge seems TO be inevitable.
When these facts were laid before PTesi-
dent Taft he is said to have personally
dictated a letter TO each of the heads OF
the several departments advising them
OF the situation and requesting that they.
instead of calling upon the Civil Service
Commission for lists of eligibles 10 I'LL
vacancies as they might occur. cOmmuni-
cate with the Secretary of the Treas
ury and arrange for the transfer OF an
employee from one of the two branches
involved wherever a suitable man could
there be found for the position to be
filled
Numerous Transfers Made.
Acting upon these instructions a num-
Der of transfers have already been made
and others are contemplated. Except for
these transfers. however, the forces Of
the Auditors Office and Of the Division
of Issue will remain intact until June 30.
Should positions be lacking on June 30.
which now seems unlikely, the excess
employees viii have to be discharged, but
in such an event the employee so dis
charged would be eligible under the
civil service rules for reappointment, with
out examination. at any time within a
year. and under the plans now contem-
plated they would be reappointed almost
Immediately.
