Executive Order 164

Rule X will be amended by adding a new section, to be numbered 10, as follows:

10. Operatives and other employees in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing whose duties are similar to those of operatives, may be transferred without examination and certificate of the Commission to the positions of expert money counter and paper counter in the office of the Secretary of the Treasury, money-order assorter and skilled laborer acting as money-order assorter in the office of the Auditor for the Post Office Department, and expert counter, feeder, and separator in the office of the Treasurer of the United States. Employees so transferred shall not be charged to the apportionment, and such transfer shall not give them rights of promotion or transfer within the Treasury Department to the apportioned service, or for transfer to other departments, commissions, or offices greater than the rights belonging to the position from which they were transferred, and they shall not be assigned to other duties than those of the nonapportioned places herein provide for: Provided, That appointments made to the positions described in this section other than by transfer from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing shall be subject to the apportionment.

Approved.

T. Roosevelt.
