CIVIL SERVICE SET
ASH. OIL. c. GUIDE
Roosevelt Calls for AppliCa.
ton of Its "StandardS"
to Agency.

limiting of legislation to put the
Home Owners Loan Corporation under
civil service, President Roosevelt to-
day called for the application of civil
service standards" to the organiza-
ton.
The Presidents suggestion was made
jointly in letters dated August 25 to
Harry B. Mitchell, president of the
Civil Service Commission, and John
H. Fahey, chairman Of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board.
The action did not actually place
the vast lending agency under civil
service. That, the President explained,
would require an act Of Congress.
Pending legislative authority" he
said, lit is appropriate and entirely
possible to apply the principles" Of the
civil service laws to the H. o. L. c.
The move was not explained in
detail except that Fahey indicated
that when professional and technical
employees are needed, the civil service
will hold examinations. Present job
holders will not be required to take
examinations to hold their posts.
1T means" Fahey said, 1.-The ulti-
mate adoption Of civil service stand
ards of efficiency throughout the cor
poration and anticipates the possibility
Of future action by Congress 10 place
the organization under civil serv-
ice.
Although H. o. L. c. was set up in
a short period during the stress of the
emergency in home finance, for more
than two and a half years the cor
poration has been engaged in the de-
velopment and application of pre-em-
ployment tests and minimum require
ments of employment corresponding to
those Of the civil service"
He estimated the H. o. L. c. is now
employing 1910 persons in 258 Offices
throughout the country.
Last January 81 there were 19,54S
employees in 800 field Offices, but taper
inf off of lending activities led to the
reduction in personnel.
THE announcement does not
mean" Fahey said, that employees of
the corporation will be required to
take civil service examinations as a
requisite to continuance in their posi-
tions, nor will they be displaced BY
employees from the certified lists Of
the Civil Service Commission"
President Roosevelt said in his let
ter to Fahey he believed the work Of
the Federal Home Loan Bank Board
and its subsidiaries, of which the H.
o. L. c. is largest, had been stabil-
lied.
The H. o. L. c., which lent large
sums to home owners in distress, was
organized Ito meet a financial crisis
in the urban home field" Mr. Roose-
welt said, and the law creating it
placed its employees outside civil serv-
ice.
Now that H. o. L. c. work has been
stabilized, he said, st believe that so
far as possible, every advantage should
be taken of the standards and prac-
tices developed under civil service
law"

A. F. OF |. DECLINES
TO ACT IN STRIKE
Seattle Council Tried to Promote
Newspaper Settlement,
Says Green.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, said
today the federation cannot interfere"
in the American Newspaper Guild
strike against the Seattle Post-Intel-
ligencer.
Green made his statement in releas-
ing a report on the guild strike from
Rowland Watson, A. F. of L. repre-
sentative in Seattle.
Efforts to conduct a hearing upon
the complaint filed by the American
Newspaper Guild and to promote a
settlement were made by the officers
OF the Seattle central body before
formal action was taken placing the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer upon the
unfair list" Green said. E.
The laws of the A. r. of L. require
that central bodies take such action
and follow such a course before
placing any firm upon the unfair list.
In view of the fact that the CEN
trail body conformed to the laws Of
the A. F. of L. and acted in accord
ance with the rights conferred upon
it by the A. F. Of L. and followed legal
and orderly procedure, the A. F. of L.
cannot interfere.
Il have directed Representative
Watson, however, to serve in every
possible way in trying to bring about
settlement of the dispute existing
between the management Of the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer and the
members OF the local Newspaper Guild
so that industrial peace may be re-
established IN the City Of Eeattle."
