Bettleheim, its chairman, has written a letter to President Coolidge protesting against the executive order of June 4, per taining to ratings of persons under the Civil Service, and which, they say, in part, supercedes section 7 of the executive order of October 1921, In part, the letter says: “We be- lieve that those who advised you, and placed it before you, did not give you the full facts or the consequences or unfairness to_the veterans which would accrue from such an ord “The recent order has the practical effect of nullifying veteran preference, which has always been accorded by executive orders, as part recognition of the services.rendered by veterans. Of course, we appreclate paragraph 1 gives military Preference to men whose ratings are over 80, but we beg to point out to you that this clause is a very holiow one when put into practical effect.” The letter then cites several stances in this connection. Continuing, it says, in part: “I am sure you will appreciate with me that there is a fallacy somewhere. The division and section chiefs in va- rious departments of the Government have appealed to this office as to what could best be done under the circum- stances. One or two of them have had the temerity and courage to rate the men in their section at their real worth, irrespective of the Classifica- tion Board's order. One or two other section chiefs have attempted to do this and thelr ratings have been re- turned to them. “In order for a veteran to obtain preference he must have over 80 per cent, which is just 21 per cent under the average, and under many circum- stances his percentage is cut down, due to this unfair system inaugurated by the Classification Board. “It is also pertinent to note that men with miiltary preference are not entitled to credit for dependents or credit for the length of service. Such a regulation in ‘the case of veterans with long service would discriminate against him and cause him to regret the fact that he was patriotic enough to serve his country, because, due to the fact that he has military prefer- ence, he is thereby eliminated from participating in credit for dependents and long service. 3 “In view of the circumstances, it is respectfully requested that the order be cancelled or held in abeyance until the whole matter can be looked into from angles not within the vision of the board that submitted the order to you, and amended according- ly, because, Mr. President, the vet- eran feels that the order is extremely unfair to him.” The District of Columbia Com- mandery of the Military Order of For- eign Wars held a banquet meeuyg at in- £ Order of | 24,1 AY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
