WASHINGTON, D. CIVIL SERVICE LIST FIRST ONP. 0. 108 Christmas Places to Be De- nied Many Applicants by COmmis_sion’s Ruling. The Civil Service Commission has blocked attempts of the Washington city post office to give gpproximately 700 temporary Christmas positions to persons among the 1,500 applicants for the jobs. The commission has insisted that the first 400 positions be given to the 400 persons on the eligible registers for local post office positions, despite the remonstrances of Postmaster Chance. It is understood that practically all the persons who took ihe postal clerk and carrier examinations held in January, 1922, have signified thelr availability for the positions, with the consequence that they will get the first 400 temporary positions. This will leave but 300 or so positions for the 1,500 who have applied for the short-time jobs helping Santa Claus deliver on' time the hundreds of thousands of parcels which will vour into Washington Christmas weck. Priority List of 400. It is understood that the Civil Serv- ice Commission took the position that since the Washington city post office had an avallable register of 400 per- Sons, these persons who had taken the ‘examinations and passed them should be given first chance at any { work the city post office had to offer. On this basls letters have been sent t by the commission to those on c register, and the result has been .stonishing to officials. Although thc nen and women took the examina- ion nearly a year ago, and it might ,oc presumed “had found positions since that time, practcally' every letter has been answered by an ac- ceptance of the temporary job, which at the longest will not run over ten {] i days, and probably not more than a week. The Christmas positions at the city post office pay 60 cents an hour, or $4.80 a day, with probably little op- portunity for over-time pay, 8o that &ven working the maximum time an | appiicant will only be able to earn $45. Cuts Temporary Jobs. Use of the register will cut off the temporary jobs from about 400 high school boys and others, it is thought. The rush for the temporary Christ- mas positions has been _unusually heavy tnls year and Postmaster Chance was forced last week, as Stated in The Star at the time, to Harvey Says World Shuns War Horrors By the Assoclated Prem. LONDON, November 28.—Col. George Harvey, the American am- bassador, speaking at the Forum Club last night. alluded to what he called “the commonplaceness of great events.” He pointed out that during the past six weeks there had been a general, election in England, tremendous events {n the near east, with the deposition of the head of one of the greatest religious sects of the world, the fascisti revolution in Italy and other important occurrences, and, he added, “Upon my word, we have {;ienr_v'ol much attention to any of Even more remarkable, there had been no bloodshed. He deduced from this that the world was tired of killing and that it would be im- possible to create any great war for years to come. because the peo- ple would not have it. “A dominion of common sense has come over the world,” he de- clared. “The British and Ameri- can people were never since the civil war as free from resentful feeling as today.” - —_— NEGROES FLEE AFTER WHITE-ROBED PARADE 0il Field Demonstratign Follows Killing of 0il Driller, ‘White Man.
