LINING UP N0RK'E J R
Plans to Aid Army and Nasy-Per,l
sons Requested to Send in Their
Names to Civil Service Commission

Washington, March 22.-The Civil
Service Commission, whose agencies
reach into every corner Of the United
States, has enlisted to aid the Fed
eral Government in lining-up The
country's skilled workmen for public
service in the international emer'
gency. In addition to instructIng its
5000 local boards of examiners to
secure as many men as possible fol
work in navy yards, arsenals and
other Government plants, the COM
mission has opened waiting list OF
eIigibles who might be called on
should more urgent need arise.
Posters are to be displayed by the
commissions officials in postoffices
and other public buildings through
out the country calling attention to
the fact that the army and navy need
shipwrights, boilerma&ers, machin-
lists, b!acksmiths and workmen of
many other classes. 1t is to be
pointed out that the wages paid COR
respond to those offered by private
employers, and that while an exami-
nation is required Of applicants, it is
not a civil service examination but is
based largely on physical ability and
experience.
In announcing last night the scope
of the campaign, the commission
urged persons who cannot immedi-
ately enter the public service to write
to commission headquarters here,
giving their names, addresses and the
class of work they could do for the
country. AS nearly as it's means will
permit the commission hopes to s,im-
ulate the national labor mobilization
schemes which have played sucn an
part in sustaining the
European belligcrents.
