Want Civil Service Included
in Order Issued hy
Roosevelt.

Job-placement preference for Civil
Service as well as non-Civil Service
employees thrown out of work through
reorganization and liquidation of New
Deal agencies was urged on President
Roosevelt today by the Interlodge
Committee on Personnel Transfer.
Mr.. Roosevelt Saturday urged the
w. P. A. to work out some method
of preferential treatment of unem-
ployed former New Deal workers with
out Civil Service status.
The committee sent the following
telegram to President Roosevelt at his
Hyde Park home:
ernment Personnel Transfer COM
mends your establishment of a Gov
ernment transfer agency. This action
is the first real move toward a Civil
Service transfer system. We offer our
cooperation in making this agency
a success"
In pointing out defects in the system,
the committee said the order merely
requires appointing officials to consult
registers Of dismissed employees instead
of making it mandatory that the Off
cials hire these employees before tax
ing on new workers.
The Interlodge Committee is made
up Of representatives of the various
lodges of the American Federation
Of Government employees. It was Gre
ated when the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration was being re-
organized and the need for an agency
to place them in other employment be-
came apparent. This need was en-
phasized when the Supreme Court
ruled the N. r. A. out Of business.
