COMPLICATIONS
FOLLOW NEW
ROSTER RULE
Civil Service Commission to
Use Common Sense in
Executing Order

The Executive Order, going into
effect this week, abolishing the
so-called double roster of appli-
cants for civil service positions,
has raised some complications
just as it has simplified other
phases, it was cited today at the
Civil Service Commission.
The order, in brief, makes men
and women on any roster equal,
with only their relative standing
differentiating among them. Thus,
in theory. if the roster for super
visor of a women's detention
home happens to have three men
on it who stand highest on the
list, they will be certified by the
commission and one must abso-
lutely be picked by the executive.
He may not ask for a woman,
nor may a woman lower on the
list be certified.
Similarly, it is conceivable that
a woman would be near the top
Of the roster of machinists, and
under the new order might be
hired.
Common Sense" To Rule
The Civil Service Commission,
however. declares that common
sense" will be used in certifying
names under the new rule, and
that in actual practice no person
Of either sex will be certified for
a position in which such a sex
would be obviously out of place,
as in the above cases.
To obviate future complexities,
the commission announces that
in all examinations henceforth
the sex of applicants will be
designated, and no women will
be allowed even to take examina-
tionS for what is obviously mems
work, and vice versa.
This, in itself, will raise q COM
plexity, it is admitted, through
drawing the line between mems
and women's work. That Dne
will not cut off men from exam
nations for file clerk, typist,
stenography, and various other
fields which women thus far have
considered their very own, it is
emphasized.
Veterans In Lead
In fact, it is made clear that
the present rosters for these posi-
tiors have scores of men crowd
ing the top. mostly because Of
veteran preference, and that for
long time to come most en-
ployes hired from many Of the
rosters will be men. The Execu-
tive order requires this. hut de-
ternining which positions are
mems and so to be designated in

81 NOT So BAD,
SAYS CHAPLIN

The continued stability Of the
dollar while money Of other ma
tions was fluctuating, was one
of various noteworthy favorable
factors Of 1882. says Secretary
of Commerce Roy D. Chaplin in
a close-of-the-year statement to-
day.
Legislation by the present ses-
sion Of Congress, enacted at the
instance Of the President, also
formed q favorable influence on
business improvement during the
year, says the report.
The United States maintained
its old position as leading ex-
porting nation and, despite low
retail prices and a weak mid
summer stock market, wholesale
prices remained steady during
the year.
Chaplin admitted that such un-
favorable factors as low prices
for crops, unemployment Of H.
100000 persons and low output
of manufactured goods have de-
pressed the nations morale, but
cited underlying, intangible
forces" which he indicated are
moving in the right direction. ."
