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.
