As requested by President Roosevelt, Civil Service Commissioner Greene submits a memorandum regarding the conditions at the United States Mint in Philadelphia. Greene describes the recent removal of five employees and attributes their removal to their association with the Democratic Party. As an example, Greene writes of the removal of Francis P. Rodden, his appeal to Superintendent Charles B. Landis, and his immediate replacement by Republican Party worker Stephen Frisby. Greene mentions inspections led by past commissioners William Dudley Foulke, Frank M. Kiggins, and Alford Warriner Cooley, and requests that the United States Treasury Department reinstate the five men illegally removed from their positions.
