U. S. OPPOSES EFFORT
TO GET WORKER LIST
Justice Department Files Brief in
Action Started by Ellery
Stowell.

The Department Of Justice has filed
brief in the United States Supreme
Court opposing a writ Of certiorari
to review the litigation in the courts
of the District of Columbia in which
Ellery G. Stowell tired, without sue
cess. to compel the Civil Service Com
mission to furnish him with a list of
temporary employees in the Govern.
ment service. Mr.. Stowell Is president
of the Better Government League.
The Court of Appeals Of the Dis
trict of Columbia few months ago
upheld the action of the lower court
in denying DR.. Stowell's petition for
a writ of mandamus to compel the
commission to give him the list of
temporary employees. The purpose of
the request, as set forth by the petit
toner, was to ascertain whether laws
relating to appointments were being
carried out.
The Government took the position
that the list of such appointments is
very large and that Stowell had not
shown sufficient legal or special inter-
est to ent:tle him to be sustained in
the mandamus proceeding. In sup
porting the rulings OF the District Of
Columbia courts the Department of
Justice tells the United States SUI
preme Court that the Government
does not believe the petitioner has
shown substantial grounds for re-
view of the case.
