Civil Service Commission
Prepares to Put on
Night Work.
BY j. A. FOX.

Confronted with the greatest volume
of work in its history, the Civil Service
Commission is preparing to put on a
night force in the application and
rating sections, it became known today.
1t will be the first time the commits
sion ever has had to take a step Of
this nature. The nearest approach to
1t was during the war when District
school teachers were given temporary
employment for a few hours at night
to rate clerical papers,
The huge expansion is necessitated
by the new law putting postal workers
on 40-hour week and increasing that
force greatly, and by the executive
order under which members of the
C. c. c. camps are to get an oppor-
tunity to qualify under civil service
for administrative positions in the
Conservation Corps.
About 200 employees will be added
to the commissions staff here and
their work is expected to last from 80
days to six months. The night shift
will start between November Is and
December under present plans.
The applications and rating sections
handle the applications and examina-
ton papers of Civil Service employees
and it is anticipated that there will
be hundreds of thousands of candi-
dates for the new postal work and for
the C. C. c. staff.
In the postal service the principal
labor involved will be taking care
of applications for railway mail clerks,
the examination for which is on a
Nationwide basis. The clerk carrier
examinations and those for custodial
workers and substitutes are being
handled in the individual cities and
towns.
| These examinations are already
under way and the commission has
estimated that it will take about two
years to complete the program. The
c. c. c. examinations will be at the
$500 conservation camps.
The heaviest year ever known at
the commission was in 1918, when
civilian recruiting was at its peak,
but it was said today that prospects
are that much more will have to be
done in the next year. BY putting
on a night force the work will be
speeded up and the necessity for
taking added Office space and pur-
chasing new Office equipment will be
obviated.
