Washington, ID. c., July 3.-A.
sweeping investigation of the clerks in
the department of commerce and labor
is to bear results this week. Secretary
Nagel and his able assistant Ormsby
McHarg, have been working quietly,
endeavoring to find out If the govern
ment is getting Its full value out of
its employees, and the results have
proven conclusiNely that it is not.
Under Secretary Nagel's instructions
Mr.. McHarg has investigated the case
of each individual clerk in the depart
ment and has reported those whom he
classes as mechanical clerks to his
superior. BY the term "'mechanical'
he means "the man who drops his pen
in the middle of a letter at quitting
time, who takes no pains to inform
himself as to the proper performance
of his duties, whose chief recommend
alton is not what he is doing, but what
he has done in days gone by, or whose
nerves need alcoholic stimulant to
stimulate him for his daily task"
Mr.. McHarg is known in his depart
ment as a strict disciplinarian. A
hard worker himself at all times, he
insists that ais employees shall like
wise render a fair equivalent for the
money paid them.
Since Mr.. McHarg has taken hold
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor the output of work has been in
creased, he says, fully 80 per cent
Indeed. / would swear 1t has been in
creased 25 per cent" he exclaimed;
tand 1t is simply the result of making
the men Just do their plain duty Nc
one is asked or expected to work him
self to death or make phenomenal
record. 1t is simply a case of doing
what he is paid for that is all there
is to it.
