To-day these regu- lations will be applied to the War Department, ‘and after they have been triedin that department, it found satisfactory to the commission, they will be applied to the Treasury Department, and later to all the other departments of the Government. ‘The adoption of these new rules is regarded as the ‘most important action that ‘has been taken by the commission sincefthe clvil-service rules were adopted. The regulations provide for a board of promotion in each department, to consist of three Persons, who shall be selected ‘from a number of Lot less than six persons whom the head of the department regards as the most competent of those serving under him to conduct such examl- nation. One person of a grade not less than class four shall be selected from each bureau of the de- partment, who shall act as. an auxiliary member of the board, with full authority of a member only in matters relating to promotions in the bureau from which he was appointed. ‘The most imy of the amendments is the following: “Rule 6, clause 2, And for the pur- Pose of establishing in the classified service the principle of compulsory competitive examination for promotion, there shall be, so far as, practicable ‘useful, such examinations of a suitable char poter to test the Btness of persons for promotion in the service, and the Commission may regulations, applying them to any classified de partment, ‘customs office or under which regulations examinations for promotion Shall be cOnducted and all promotions made; but ‘until regulations made by the Commission in. ac- cordance herewith have been applied to a classi- fled department, customs office or post-office, & Pro motions thetein may be made upon any test of fit- ess determined upon by ‘the promoting officer, And in any classified department, customs offieé or post-office in which promotions are made under examinations as herein provided, the Commission may, in special cases, if the exigencies of the ser- vice require such action, provide non-competitive examinations for promotion,” In a letter to the President transmitting this statement, the commission says: “Excepting 1n the customs district of New York all the evils re- sulting from the promotion system in vogue when the civil-service law was enacted continue to exist.
