subsequent Statement as to the civil

does not understand if reference is

Commission is the agency authorized by
law to provide civilian employees to the
government and it has a register of
several thousand qualified eligibles for
the government service. established as
result of clerical examinations held
this spring. There is. therefore, no au-
thority whatever for making appoint

ii has called upon the Department of
Labor as it has called upon business

Il do not doubt the intensity Of the

the last year. And life threatens to be-
come more precarious In the 1aborinF

limited salary.
Finally, the arrival of the first
American soldiers has caused all prices
to advance still more. They pay re
