Executive Order No. 2628

[Authorizing employment of foreign inspectors.]

THE WRITE HOUSE, June 4, 1917.

  The Civil Service Commission may, in its discretion, when it believes
such action to be in the interest of the service, authorize the employment
by the War Department, for such time as may be necessary during the
period of the present war, of the inspection staffs now or heretofore
employed by the British, French, Russian, or Italian Government in
munitions factories of this country, including subjects of countries allied
with the United States in war. In each case in which the War Depart-
ment requests authority under this order it shall furnish to the Commis-
sion a list giving the name, designation, rate of pay, and nationality of
each person proposed for employment.

WOODROW WILSON.
