Executive Orber.
The year limit upon eligibility for reinstatement is extended to per-
mit the reinstatement of Harold J. Wagnier alerkship in the Depart-
ment of Justice.
Mr. Wagner was appointed through examination on June 26, 1905,
as a clerk in the service of the Panama Canal, and served until June 9,
1906. On September 4, 19o6, he was appointed to a clerkship in the
Department of Justice, and served until April 9, 1909, when he resigned
from the position of telegrapher and stenographer at $1200 to accept a
position on the, Newfoundland Fisheries ArbitrationCommission under
the State Departmept. He continued in this positi6n until September,
1910, when he was appointed secretary of the Chamizal Arbitration Com-
mission under the State Department, in which position he served until
the completion of the work in August, 191 1. His duties in these posi-
tions are said to hav'e been principally legal. He did not seek retransfer
to the classified-service because he was compelled to undergo an operation
which incapacitated him for fifteen months. From February 1 to June 30,
1914, he served as record clerk with the American-British Claims Arbitra-
tion Commission.
The Attorney General recommends the reinstatement of Mr. Wagner
because of the difficulty experienced in obtaining stenographers and type-
writers who also have a knowledge of law. In view of the fact that Mr.
Wagner was twice appointed through competitive examination, served for
nearly four years in the classified service and for over two years in unclassi-
fied positions with a good record, the Civil Service Commission concurs
in recommending the issuance of an order which involves merely the
waiving of the year limit upon eligibility. Physical examination shows
that Mr. Wagner has no disability which would interfere -with his perform-
ance of clerical duties.
