Executive Order 1150

It is hereby ordered that those persons now on the rolls of the Immigration Commission, who are named in the list submitted by the Director of the Census, may be temporarily employed in the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce and Labor, in positions authorized by the act of March 6, 1902, upon passing such examination as may be prescribed by the Director of the Census. These employments shall in no instance extend beyond June 30, 1912, and the persons so employed shall thereby acquire no status for transfer or appointment in the classified civil service. The entrance salary in each case shall be at the rate of $50 a month.

This order is based upon the recommendation of the Director of the Census, approved by the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, and is made in order to give the Census Bureau the benefit of the experience in government work which the employees concerned have acquired during their service with the Immigration Commission.
