L. C. ANDREWs, Assistant Secretary.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY

Amendment 3 to B. A. I. Order 281 (regulations governing the importation of domestic livestock and other animals into the United States) and Amendment 4 to B. A. I. Order 286 (regulations governing the sanitary handling and control of hides, fleshings, hide cuttings, parings, and glue stock, sheepskins and goatskins and parts thereof, hair, wool, and other animal by-products, hay, straw, forage, or similar material, offered for entry into the United States)

(Effective May 7, 1926)

Whereas the fact has been determined by the Secretary of Agriculture that a contagious, communicable disease known as foot-and-mouth disease exists in livestock in the Republic of Mexico, and on account of the proximity of said Republic to the United States, the existence there of such disease constitutes a serious menace to the livestock industry of the United States.

B. A. I. Order 281, dated February 15, 1923, and effective May 1, 1923, as amended, and B. A. I. Order 286, dated May 29, 1924, and effective September 1, 1924, as amended, are hereby further amended accordingly.

SEC. 1. All employees to whom this act applies who, before its effective date, shall have attained or shall thereafter attain the age of seventy years and rendered at least fifteen years of service computed as prescribed in section 5 of this act shall be eligible for retirement on an annuity as provided in section 4 hereof: Provided, That city, rural, and village letter carriers, post-office clerks, sea post clerks, laborers, and mechanics generally shall, under like conditions, be eligible

Provided further, That the term "mechanics" as used in this act shall include all employees in the Government Printing Office whose duties are to supervise, perform, or assist in apprentice, helper, or journeyman work of a recognized trade or craft, as determined by the Public Printer.
