By virtue of the authority vested in me by the provisions of paragraph Eighth of subdivision SECOND of section 2 of the Civil Service Act (22 Stat. 403, 404), it is hereby ordered that William T. Geurts may be appointed to a position as Senior Mediator, Maritime Labor Board, without regard to his standing on the register of civil service eligibles.
