Campaigning by u. S. Employees
For Bonus Is Declared Illegal

The Civil Service Commission has
warned Government employees against
campaigning for or against ir1r1e-
diate payment of the bonus on the
ground it constitutes political ac-
tivity.
This was disclosed today after
President Roosevelt's speech at Roa-
noke yesterday in which he let it
be known he is against payment at
this time. 1t was said, however, it
was only coincidental that the COM
mission was giving publicity to its
action so soon after the Presidents
speech
The commission made this move
on June 5 when a notice was sent
to all its district managers over the
country as follows:
"Inasmuch as the bonus question
has become more or, less of a po-
litical issue, the commission directs
that classified civil service employees
be not permitted to circulate petit
tions in favor of, or against, the pay
ment of the bonus"
The attitude OF the commission was
outlined in a letter to Representative
zioncheck, Democrat, of Washington,
following an inquiry.
Harry B. Mitchell, president of the
commission, wrote the House member
as follows:
