Schedule A, subdivision IV, paragraph 3 of positions excepted from the requirement of examination, is hereby amended to read as follows by the addition of the words printed in italics:

3. United States Army Transport Service: Longshoremen employed by the department at ports In the United States; trade and noneducational employees in the Philippine Islands; all employees on transport ships other than clerks; and, so far as may be found necessary by the department during the present war, all subclerical and nonclerical employees constituting the working forces for operating the piers of Hoboken, New Jersey, and at other seaports.


This amendment is based upon the representation of the department that owing to the peculiar location of the piers, the character of operations, the absolute necessity to safeguard property and material, and the requirement of absolute loyalty and reliability, it is necessary that these employees be selected because of known efficiency and reliability.


The Civil Service Commission concurs in the recommendation.
