United States Civil Service Commissioners John Charles Black, John Avery McIlhenny, and Henry F. Greene oppose President Roosevelt’s order to allow Indians non-competitive consideration for messenger positions in the Office of Indian Affairs. Their main objection is that the order goes against both the commission’s conduct of orderly affairs and Roosevelt’s own prior instructions. The commission provides documentation showing that no rules provide for the noncompetitive consideration of Indians and expresses concern about taking race or color into consideration in the classification of service.

William A. Miller was removed from the position of foreman of the bindery division of the Government Printing Office due to his expulsion from the International Brotherhood of Bookbinders. Civil service rules only allow removal from a competitive position if it will promote the efficiency of the service. As the only reason given for Miller’s removal was his expulsion from the union, the removal will not be recognized and Miller should be reassigned to duty.
