: , r Bars Civil
Service Discrimination
ORDERS DEPARTMENT HEADS OPEN CIVIL
SERVICE JOBS TO ALL LOYAL CITIZENS

HYDE PARK, N. Y. = Taking
vigorous action for the second
time within a few mon -
against intolerance and dis
elimination in employment,
President Roosevelt last Satur-
day night commanded all heads
of government departments and
independent establishments in
the Federal Government to
take immediate steps to abolish
racial and religious prejudice
in civil service employment.
The Presidents order came
after recommendations had
been submitted by Mark Ether
idge, chairman of the Fair En-
ployment Practice Committee
In letter to Mr.. Etheridge the
President commended the
committee for its earnest efforts
to eliminate Job discrimination
both in national defense indus
ries and also in direct govern
ment service.
In the order to heads of de-
partments and independent es-
adjustments and independent
establishments the President
said:
ut has come to my attention
that there Is a lack in the Fed
eral establishment of uniform
ity and possibly some lack of
sympathetic attitude toward
the problems of minority
groups, particularly those relat-
ing to the employment and as
Signment of colored workers in
the Federal Civil Service,
with a view to improving
the situation, it is my desire
that all departments and inde-
pendent establishments in the
Federal government make a
thorough examination of their
personnel policies and practices
to the end that they ma ybe

Federal services the doors of
employment are open to all

1T is imperative that we deal
with this problem speedily and
effectively I shall look for inn
mediate steps to, be taken by

dent establishments of the gov

into effect this policy of non
discrimination in. Federal en-
ployment."
This second Executive Order
follows closely upon the heels
of the June Is order which re-
quired all contracts should in
clude clauses forbidding con-
tractors to discriminate against
any worker on account of race,
creed, color or national origin.

red. The ladies ranged them
selves, one on each side of the
pulpit, and abetted each other
in their appeal which resulted
in a magnificen offering which,
afer the splendid discourse Of
DR.. Smith, was augmented by
several dollars.
DR.. Smiths address was one
of the finest diScourses this re-
porter ever heard. He described
the I plaques spoken of in the
Bible as inevitably coming to
man If he persisted in dis
obedience and sinfulnnss. Not
to leave a gloomy picture the
speaker spoke most eloquently
of Gods love and forbearance
A bright light came when he
asked all those who wished to
escape Gods righteous wrath
to rise and. the whole audience
instantly Stod up.
Many crowded around Dr..
Smith to shake his hand at the
close of the services.
