Civil Service Bills Pass Senate in Ohio Debate
The Ohio Senate approved a broad civil service bill with exemptions for department heads and certain officials and a provision allowing present workers to take noncompetitive exams. The measure creates a state commission for exams and a city commission in each locale, with operative effect next year. The Akron strike scene grows as officials face a welfare league dispute and Governor Cox avoids local interference pending other options. The broader labor and judicial reform agenda moves through the House as new commissions replace scattered departments.
