Executive Order 1521

Having considered the written arguments for and against the application for reinstatement of Charles H. Quackenbush in the Railway Mail Service, and having reached a conclusion that the offense for which Mr. Quackenbush was removed does not merit more of a penalty than a suspension without pay for a year, and that such penalty has been satisfied, I hereby direct that Mr. Quackenbush may be reinstated in the Railway Mail Service without reference to the provisions of the civil-service rule governing reinstatements.

This order is made without the approval or disapproval of the Civil Service Commission and against the recommendation of the Postmaster General.

Wm. H. Taft.

The White House,

April 22, 1912.
