WASHINGTON. Sept 6. Upon his re
tirement today from the civil service
commission Charles M. Galloway issued
a statement declaring ttat he and Her
man w. uraven. the republican member
of the commission, were "ousted" be
cause they "were not willing that the
commission should be a mere .adjunct
to the postoffice department and sub
servient to It. especially with reference
to examinations for presidential post
masters."
Galloway and Craven were asked to
resign Just, before President Wilson re
turned to the peace conference early
In March. It was said at the White
House that it was the president's pur
pose to reorganize the commission.
Martin A. Morrison of Indianapolis and
Georje R. Wales of Vermont were ap
pointed new members of the commii
sion.
- Civil Service Held Debauched.
Mr. Galloway's statement today fol
lows:
"My resignation was forced because
I would not co-operate with Postmaster-General
Burleson in debauching the
civil service and making a sham of
the merit system. Hermon W. Craven,
the republican member, and I, a demo
crat, were ousted from the commission
because we were not willing that the
commission should be a mere adjunct
to the postoffice department, and sub
servient to it, especially with reference
to examinations for presidential post
masters under the executive order of
March 31. 1917.
"A very recent example of Mr. Burle
son's conduct Is furnished by his pro
posed amendment to this order, which
now awaits the signature of the presi
dent. The existing order provides that
the eligible with the highest standing
shall be nominated.
Nominations Held ip.
"A large number of nominations have
been held up, many of them for a long
time, evidently in anticipation of this
amendment, which will enable Mr. Bur
leson, in many cases, to deprive those
standing highest in these examinations
of the nominations to which they are
already entitled. Among the postoffices
affected by the amendment are those
in Boston, Mass., and Newark, N. J.
"Furthermore, a short time ago the
commission unanimously recommended
that the president appoint as chief ex
aminer an employe of the commission
who Is far better qualified for this po
sition than any other person of whom
the commission has knowledge. But
the postmaster-general desires that the
position be filled by another person of
his own selection."
