Civil Service Commissioner Henry F. Greene rebuts Postmaster General Henry C. Payne’s assertion that civil service laws do not apply to fourth-class postmasters, because they are not in the “classified” service. Greene cites the civil service rules to show that although they are not hired by “competitive examination,” fourth-class postmasters are classified employees and thus subject to civil service laws.
