Fourth-class Incumbents Put
Into the Classified Service
by President Taft Must
Run the Gauntlet.
BURLESON'S ADVICE
TAKEN BY WILSON
Postmaster General Makes a
Statement; Rules and Regu-
lations to Govern New Or
der Not Worked Out.

WASHINGTON, May All fourth
class postmasterships, except those
paying less than $50 year, were
thrown open to competitive examina-
tion by an executive order issued to-
day by President Wilson. These po.
sitions are retained in the classified
service. but about $4,000 incumbents
who were covered into the classi-
fled service by executive orders of
previous administrations will have to
meet all corners in competitive exam
ination in order to hold their positions
with civil service protection. In a
statement making this order public,
Postmaster General Burleson an
nounced that it was the purpose Of
President Wilson and himself to en-
tend the classified service to include
presidential postmasters Of the second
and third classes. probably within a
year. This may require legislation by
congress. he said. His plan, which will
be laid before the president soon, will
provide for a qualification test for
incumbents and applicants "in keep
ing with the importance Of the Of
fees. -
