ASSAILS CIVIL SERVICE MEN.
League Committee’s Report Criticizes Board and Mr. Wilson.
Special to The New York Times.WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—The Committee on Congressional and Legislative Action of the National Civil Service Reform League is preparing a report to be presented to the League at its annual meeting in New Haven on Dec. 4, in which the Wilson Administration and the members of the United States Civil Service Commission are criticised, and President Wilson is asked to dismiss the three Commissioners, who are declared to be the most inefficient in the commission's history.
The league has been in controversy with the commission before this, and its allegations against the Wilson Administration were utilized as campaign ammunition by Mr. Hughes in the recent Presidential contest. The report will renew charges that the commission maintains a policy of secrecy with regard to its actions, and that President Wilson has been a party to this course in refusing to see officers of the league.
The members of the commission are John A. McIlhenny, President; Charles M. Galloway, and Herman W. Craven.
