period of idleness, and James Kelly. a
Democrat, who had charge of the eleva-
Tor and operated it, was laid off, How
long the elevator will remain idle is a
matter of conjecture. but as many people
have business on the upper floors of the
building it is likely that such strong
pressure viii be brought 10 bear upon the
government that the car viii resume op-
erationns in the near future. The eleva-
tor has been in service ever since the
building was opened for use
Operator Kelly was protected by the
Civil Service regulations. and as he has

public buildings throughout the country,
Secretary Shaw promptly issued orders
10 the custodians TO dismiss and reduce
their employees until the needed saving
had been effected
Scarcely had the order been issued
when the representatives began TO hear
howls from home. Faithful henchmen
were being reduced in salary or else were
being peremptorily dismissed from the
public service Seventy employees have
been dropped and $50 reduced as direct
result of this economy, and more dis
missals and reductions are coming.
"The dismissals and reductions are dis
tributed pretty evenly all over the coun-
try. ST. Louis leads the list with p en-
ployes reduced in pays Brooklyn follows
with IL; Baltimore H. Philadelphia lost
6; Pittsburg l, and scores OF other towns
/ throughout the country one or two
apiece. Washington is not affected.
"To show how sweeping the dismissals
and reductions have been the elevator II

elevator conductor discharged were it not
for the fact that the trial Of Greene anC
Gaynor is now in progress there"
