K-U. S. EMPLOYEES
TOBE REINSTATED

Soldiers, sailors, and marines hon
orably discharged from the service
who were former Government en-
ployes, may be reinstated if they so
desire, according to an announce
ment made by the Civil Service Com
mission today. The reinstatement of
service men has been advocated Ey
The Times in numerous editorials.
In a circular letter sent to chiefs Of
all Government bureaus in this city
and throughout the United States the
executive order issued by the Presi-
dent on July Is, 1918, was cited. "a
person leaving the classified civil
service" the order reads, "to en-
gage in the military or naval service
Of the Government during the present
war with Germany and who has been
honorably discharged, may be rein
stated in the civil service at any time
within five years after his discharge,
provided that at the time Of rein

employer and service man must come
to some agreement before the Civil
Service Commission can reappoint the
man.
The commission writes to bureau
heads: "Since reinstatement has al
ways been decretiOnary with the head
OF the office concerned. it has been
unnecessary for the commission to
exercise any initiative, as the person
desiring reinstatement and the head
of the office in which he desires re
employment must first come to an
agreement, otherwise the opportunity
is closed to him"

YANKS NOW SURE
OF OLD j. S. Jobs

Both houses OF Congress have now
agreed to the conference report on
the deficiency bill canceling S15,00O,.
600, 900 in war appropriations and con-
tract authorizations.
This bill. which now goes to the
President, carries in it a permanent
provision for the reinstatement in the
Government service of those who left
it to go to the defense of their coun-
try.
The provision as it has been finally
written into the law requires the re-
instatement of soldiers in the Govern
ment service, whether they were draft
ed or volunteered, provided they ap-
ply to be reinstated and are qualified
to hold the positions.
1t is expected this bill will be signed
up promptly on the return of the
President and it will then become law.

COMMUNIQUES ISSUED
BY PEACE ENJOYS

PARIS. Feb. I3.-The official com.
munique issued last evening on th'
work of the war council says:
''The war council met Wednes-
day morning. sitting from IL un-
til 1890. and resumed the sitting
in the afternoon from 3 to $50.
THE conditions Of the renewal
of the armistice were decided.
"The next meeting will take
place Thursday at p. m"
The communique issued by the in
labor commission reads:
The seventh meeting Of the
commission on international Ia
Dor legislation took place We'd
nesday morning.
Article " of the British draft
was carried, providing that at the
proposed international labor con-
ference the representatives of the
governments, the employers and
work people should be entitled
to speak and vote independently
without regard to the views ex-
pressed by the other representa-
tives Of their nation. with power
to draw up conventions binding
on the states represented.
Hitherto the delegates present
at such a conference have repre-
sented the governments only, and
the voting has always been by
nations. 1t was felt. however,
in Inngfg-
lation the employers and the
workers must be given the full
est opportunity of giving free
expression to their views, and
that they could not do this if the
delegates of each nation were
bound to speak and vote as a
unit.
Article V was also carried,
providing that the international
labor conference shall meet At
the capital of the league of ma
tions. unless II decides by a two
thirds majority to meet else
where.
THE commission then proceed
ed to discuss the article dealing
with the establishment of the
permanent international labor
office and the governing body
which will direct its work. 1t
was agreed that the office should
be established at the capital Of
the league of nations as part of
the organization of the league.
and should be under the control
of a director.
The commission, at the Presi-
dents suggestion. rose in honor
of the birth OF Abraham Lincoln"

gested."
