PETITION GOES
TOLEHLBACH
Lists Indorsing Proposed
Change of Jurisdiction
Signed by Thou sands.

Signed by thousands Of Govern
ment employees here, petition ask
ing Congress to transfer classified
ton and personnel supervision to
the Civil Service Commission was
presented today to Congressman
F. r. Lehlbach, chairman of the
House Committee on Civil Service
Reform.
In many Of the departments
where the petition was circulated
more than 90 per cent of the en-
ployes signed 1t. Included in these
departments are the Postoffice De-
partment, General Accounting Office
and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. In some of the depart
ments circulation of the petition
was hampered more or less by per-
sonnet officers and chief-clerks. In
the latter group were the depart
ments Of State, Commerce and
Labor. The petition, however, was
circulated in these departments by
committee representatives and was
generally signed by the employees.
In buildings under the control
of the Superintendent of Public
Buildings and Grounds the latter
granted permission to post the petit
ton, at the same time posting a
counter petition asking that per-
sonnet matters be left under present
control.
The petition has been circulated
for two weeks under the supervision
Of the Departmental Classification
Committee, the drive for signatures
ending yesterday.
