ORDER TOILET OUT
1900 IS STUDIED
President Weighs Move A.
fecting Workers Under Civil
Service Without Exams.

An executive order seeking to cover
out from the civil service rolls approx
mately 1900 Government workers who
were covered in on the rolls during the
Republican administrations Of the last
II years without having taken competi-
tive examinations was before President
Roosevelt today for his signature.
Secretary of Commerce Roper, one Of
the Presidents economy advisers. said
the order was presented to the White
House several days ago, but he did not
know how soon the President would
reach a decision.
Before the order was submitted to the
President it underwent lengthy study
by the members Of the Civil Service
Commission, Roper said. He added 1t
carried their stamp of approval
Roper is primarily interested in the
order because it Is reported 1t will effect
many Of the present executives in the
Commerce Departments Bureau Of For
eign and Domestic Commerce. This
bureaus personnel has been drastically
slashed, but many Of the old division
chiefs have been left unmolested pend
ing White House action on the order,
it was stated authoritatively.
Civil service records show President
Hoover during his four years in office
added to the civil service rolls 1,150
Federal positions by executive order.
President Coolidge added Alas and
President Harding 344. These are
among those that are reported to be
under scrutiny.
All these positions were covered in

ice classification, incumbents and all
with the requirement that henceforth
each job when vacant should be filled
by competitive examination. Most OF
the incumbents were given non-com-
petitive examination.
The Civil Service Commission has
ruled that since these employees were
given civil service status by executive
order they can be removed from civil
service by executive order, which would
put them back on patronage basis.

ARGENTINA SEEKS
j. S. TARIFF PACT
Ambassador Talks Chances
of Reciprocal Agreement
With Roosevelt.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The Argentine Ambassador, Felipe
Espil, called this morning at the White
House to discuss with President Roose-
welt the possibility of reciprocal tariff
agreement between the United States
and Argentina.
AS rule, foreign representatives COM
municate with the State Department on
all matters which concern their re-
spective countries, their relations with
the Chief Executive being mostly OF a
formal character. But with Secretary
Hull and Assistant Secretary Moley
absent, the representatives of the lead
ing powers find it more expedient and
satisfactory to discuss important matters
with the President himself.
The question Of a reciprocal trade
agreement between the United States
and Argentina is somewhat complicated,
because the products which the latter
country can offer for exchange are. with
a few exceptions, competing with the
products of the Middle West.
Care to Be Exercised.
The Acting Secretary OF State, Will
liam Phillips, informed the foreign
representatives last week at the diplo-
matte day of the State Department that,
since America has withdrawn from the
Geneva conference of reciprocal trade
agreements, this Government will exer-
else the utmost care and conclude
agreements mostly with nations which
produce goods which are not produced
in this country.
Yet, the Argentina Ambassador ex-
poets to be able to convince the Presi-
dent that although his country is an
agricultural state which produces about
the same commodities as the Middle
West, there are some products which
