HARRY HALL Is
DISMISSED FROM
POSTAL SERVICE
Head of Division That includes
Hawaii Discharged When
He Resisted Trans
fer Order

Harry Hall, postoffice inspector Of
| { an Francisco division, which includes
Hawaii, has been discharged by the
postmaster-general This is the result
OF the refusal of Hall to obey an or
der transferring him to Denver, reduc-
ing his salary from $4,000 to $500 per
annum and otherwise demoting him.
The action. he claimed, was not on
ly against the civil service rules, but
due to political influences and he re-
sisted it. The following from a San
Francisco paper tells what happened
then:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 2f.--
Hall, postoffice inspector, San Fran
cisco, Cal: acknowledgement has
signed an order removing you, effec-
tive today. Please turn commissions,
mail key and other government prop
erty over to Inspector in Charge Leo
nard.
(Signed) JOHNSTON,
"Chief Inspector"
This telegram, which was intended
to sever the connection of Harry B.
Hall with the postal service of the
United States, marks the first climax
in fight that will be watched with
keen interest by half million federal
civil service employees throughout the
country.
Involved in the case is the ques-
ton of whether a member of the clas-
sified civil service of the United
States may be reduced in rank and
salary without first being served with
reasons for the proposed action and
being given opportunity to make re-
ply.
'sTIall, who, before his dismissal yes
terday, was postofice inspector-in-
charge at San Francisco, says he is
going to fight the case upon behalf Of
himself and OF all other federal civil
services employees. He mas laid the
matter before the San Francisco dis
trict secretary of the United States
civil service commission, and has ask
ed this commission to review the ac-
ton of the acknowledgement and his
subordinates.
Last Saturday Hall VRs suspended
from duty, and charges OF insubordina-
ton were lodged against him by his
successor at San Francisco, George Al.
Leonard The alleged characterization
consisted of Halls refusal to obey the
order of the postmaster-general which
had reduced him from the rank of IN
spector-in-c charge, and directed him to
report to the inspector in-charge at
Denver for duty as a field Inspector
Halls salary as charge
had been $4,000 per annum, and his
salary as a field inspector would be
$500 per annum and SO per diem.
/ 'sHall made his reply to the charges
of characterization on last Monday.
Yesterdays order of dismissal follow
ed Halls reply"
