That is not the occasion to which I refer. A year ago I myself sought. by an amendment. to cover under the civilservice law a number of persons that might range all the way from 30 to 100. who had had several years of experieice as clerks in the Immigration Commission and who. after that. had had about two years of service in the Census Bureau. and to allow them to be used as clerks in both the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Pensions. If I remember rightly. those clerks who had had experience in the Immigration Commission had been weeded out until there were left only the very best of them. Then those very best were utilized by the Census Bureau. and came before us with the best character of examination in the worldthe examination which consisted of a demonstration of their ability to do the work required of them. I desired to cover them into the civil service.
