The Civil Service Commission has determined that the three postal carrier were transferred due to improper political considerations by Postmaster McMichael’s subordinates. President Roosevelt does not believe that McMichael was aware of the political pressure being used against the carriers but he approved the transfers at the suggestion of his subordinates. The carriers will be returned to their previous routes. The reasons for transfers will now be kept in a written record, and special care must be taken to ensure that transfers are not influenced by political or religious considerations.

President Roosevelt advises Postmaster Clayton McMichael that he must follow the guidelines of the Civil Service Commission when filling vacancies at his post office and cannot refuse to appoint certified men unless he has a justifiable reason to do so. When McMichael recently rejected a large percentage of certified men, it created the appearance of injustice. In the future, McMicheal should keep a record of who was rejected and why so as to avoid suspicion.
