Mills Bill Extends Classified Service Across Government
A Civil Service Commission official described President’s order extending the classified service as encompassing all clerical and skilled government employees not appointed by the President. The revision will add about 7,200 to 15,500 workers nationwide, including railway mail and Indian services, with many Treasury and Navy positions shifting under the classified system. The discussion touched on labor versus skilled labor distinctions and potential future coverage of post offices and the coast survey.
