AS the Present Fourth Class
Postmasters Are Ordered
TO Be Examined.
eBv AsseeiATEo PREsso

WASHINGTON. D. C., May =
Postmaster General Burleson after a
con ference today with President Vii
son announced that az executive Or
der would be issued requiring that
all fourth-class postmasters now in
Office or candidates for prospective
appointment should be subjected 70
competitive examination to deter
mine their fitness for Office.
The postmaster general explained
the purpose of the new executive order
by declaring that President Taft's ac-
ton in putting fourth-class postmas-
, tiers into the classified service was not
sufficient and that the mere placing
OF a great horde of persons in the
classified service was not in conform
ity with the spirit of the civil service
as there were no checks to determine
the merits of the applicants.
The new order, which amends the
Taft executive order retains in the
classified service all fourth class post
masters but requires a competitive ex-
animation and a selection by postoffice
inspectors from among the first three
eligible applicants. The order places
the age limit for appointees at 65
years. Mr.. Burleson indicated that
the Wilson administration wishes TO
take fourth class postmasters out OF
politics and pointed out that Demo-
Gratis as well as Republicans viii have
an opportunity under competitive ex-
aminations to show their fitness.

persons in their employ.
