New Civil Service Plan Extends Classified Rules
The civil service commission proposes a new classification for departmental, postal and custom service employees. It would include clerks above laborer grade and extend the classified service, with some positions still exempt or non competitively filled. The move aims to uniform rules and relieve workload while the President weighs it against funding and Indian service extension.
