100,000 VETERANS | JOINCIVIL SERVIGE Receive Preference in Ap- pointments Through Act Passed After War. By WILLIAM C. DE! G, TPresident ln"'ll States Clvil Service Commission. Approximately 315,000 claims for preference in appointment to posi- tions in the classified civil service have been allowed by the United States Civil Service Commission un- der the veteran preference acts of March 3 and July 11, 1919. Of the 315,000 veterans who entered examinations, about 224,000 qualified and became eligible for appointment, and more than 92,000 actually have received appointment. igures do not mean that the civil service force has been increased by the appointment of vet- The fact is that there has been a reduction of more than 360,000 the armistice. v tion and - bellef e Nation faith- | 5 that men who serve: olors are entitled to a fully with the a preference in appointment to | ons in the civil service.

They have risked their | lives for the good of the Nation and for the maintenance of the Govern-| ment. They must wish the Govern ment to be conducted in the most | efficient manner possible.

Other things being equal, however, or approximately so, those who hl\?‘ faced the perils and privations of | war should be given preference. Congressional Law. An act of Congress of July 11, provides: “That her in making appointments to clerical and otler positions in the executive branch of the Government. in the District of Columbia or elsewhere, preference ven to honorably discharged | sailors and marines and widows of suc and to the wives of injured soldiers, sailors and marines who themselves are not qualified, but whose wives are qualified to hold such positions.” Preference rezulations promulgated | by executive order under the Keneral provisions of the law allow to the veteran the following advantages () He is released from all age limitations, () He is released from the law and rules requiring that appointm the depart ton be ms proportionat the respective © He is welght requ tions of wa tholics or Jews, diers or 1919, pulation of from height and except for posi nan, guard, policeman, positions of similar nature.

(e) An appointing officer who passes over a veteran eligible and selects a non-veteran with the same or a lower rating must place in the records of the department his reasons for so doing. (f) The Civil Service Commission is permitted to waive in its discretion the physical requirements in the case of a disabled veteran who applies for a civil service examination from which his disability would otherwise bar him.
