Roosevelt Aims to Weed Out Incompetence with New Civil Service Rule
President Roosevelt endorses a new civil service order allowing removal of employees for incapacity or inefficiency without prior notice, with only a filed statement of reasons. Cabinet members and Civil Service Commission officials support the move as a means to reduce red tape and raise government efficiency, while some departments report few dismissals so far.

Dismissal Under New Civil Service Rule Shocks Public
The cabinet order enforcing good behavior in Civil Service provokes swift action as Walter Elvidge, an assistant messenger in the Bureau of Standards, is summarily dismissed after an automobile incident near the President’s carriage. Elvidge, an electrician from Minnesota, had only three months in service. He argued with bicyclists and refused directions, leading to swift firing issued by Secretary Metcalf. The move underscores the admin’s push for disciplined conduct among 25,000 federal workers.
