THE TREASURY SHAkE-UP
Those Who Are Retained in the Higher
Grades
Some Ninety Clerks Are Placed on the
Temporary ROll-An Eventful
Day i'm the Department.

There was not much work done today in
the Treasury Department, for on this day
the famous Dockery reorganization Of the
department, affecting eleven of the mos.
important bureaus, took effect. About
ninety clerks, for whom there is no per-
manent provision In the new law, were
placed on temporary roll, where they
will remain as long as the fund created
for that purpose, upwards of $50, 600, holds
out. Forty odd clerks we're dismissed in
consequence of the change Of organizati ton
some weeks ago
In addition, there were many transfers
from ons roll to another, involving scores
or changes, and new oaths of Office had to
be taken. The changes were mostly antici-
pated. but this did not prevent some very
disagreeabie scenes, and there was much
weeping in the earlier hours among the wo-
men, Some of the oldest clerks in the de-
partment are reduced in salary or placed
on the temporary roll.
Some Of the Changes.

hoped that some of these may be provided
