COMMISSION NOW SELECTING
Flat Denial Made That Examinations
Ate Not Conducted in Strict Ac
cord With Law and Rules.
Postmaster T. B. Madden oj Cohim
bia has received a letter from M. A
Morrison, president of the civil serv
ice commission, in which he says that
charges have been made that examin
ations for postmasters of offices pay
ing above $2,400 have been so framed
as to permit the postmaster general
to place one of his confidential agents
“behind the scenes” to make sure as
to the political affiliations and activi
ties of the. candidates, and in order to
have his recommendations count for
four times as much as the actual ex
amination in determining the rating
of candidates. President Morrison
flatly denies any truth in the charges
and says the examinations are con
ducted strictly by civil service rules
under the president’s executive order
issued March 31, 1917.
