Court Denies Injunction to Job Seekers
Columbus Ohio Common Pleas Judge Charles A. Leach refused to enjoin the State Civil Service Commission from completing exams and compiling eligible lists for state and county public assistance appointments under the federal social security program. The ruling set aside temporary injunctions blocking action a month earlier after written tests, but before oral exams. Five applicants backed by the Fraternal Order of Bagless and the Ohio State Federation of Labor argued the commission set unreasonably high qualifications and accepted dictation from the federal social security board. Oral exams will be rescheduled in several cities by January. Notifications will go to eligible applicants in the coming days. Written test grades already given will stand.
