Ten thousand navy yard mechanics will pass undor the protection of the civil service law when President Taft signs the executive execu-tive order now being prepared by the navy commissioners. Theoretically theso men have been shielded against the vlcifasltudos of political changes by a sstem of regulations reg-ulations governing the employment board in navy yardB and stations, but these were subject to change or abolition aboli-tion at tho will of tho person who might be at tho head of the department depart-ment and lacked the binding force of the law. The men now in tho yards are not to bo required to undergo an examination, examina-tion, but newcomers will be subjected to serve practical tests and must also passjphyslcal examinations. A regulation that any one leaving work and seeking reinstatement must place his name at the bottom of the roll of eliglbles, Is regarded as a prob-ablo prob-ablo deterrent to strikes. |
