Number 23O.

Director Durand Of the census bureau
announced today that the actual number
Of clerks who have been notified that
their services are terminated at the end
of December 10 80: He said further that
no final determination had been reached
with reference to the date on which fur
Their dismissals would be made or the
number that would be dropped. But 1t Is
probable that a considerable reduction Of
the force will be made within a conf
paratively short time.
Mr.. Durand said he feared that in a
considerable number Of individual cases
hardship would be involved through the
dismissals already made or those to he
made in the future. but that all OF the
clerks on the temporary roll have already
been employed more than a year. which
was the maximum time for which en-
ployment was promised in any case.
Moreover, even II the full appropriation
requested by the census bureau had been
made by Congress, there would have been
q rapid reduction in the temporary force
beginning at about this time. and under
the law none OF the temporary force could
be retained otter June 90 1917

MODEL LAW FOR DISTRICT.
Need Urged of Offering Home Here
for CORPORATIONS.

j. ScIwin Tate OF this city spoke before
the American Economic Association on
the need OF Il model corporation law for
the District of Columbia He said. in
part:
Some Of the states have fairly good
corporation laws. but / did not know OF
any which assures square deal to the
investor to the same extent and in the
same sense that the English laws do.
II seems probable that federal cor
poration law cannot be passed at an
early date, I would strongly recommend
the enactment OF a model Incorporation
, law for the District OF Columbia, over
which Congress has Jurisdiction. There
Is no place In the United States where
this could be done with so little diff

NAVY YARD SCHEDULE
THE SAME NEXT YEAR
Wages Unchanged With But
One Unimportant Exception.
Class Designation.

With a single and comparatively I'M
important exception. the schedule of wag-
es for the employees at the Washington
navy yard for the calendar year begin
ming Monday next is, the same as the
schedule that prevailed during the year
ending tomorrow. The wage schedule
was prepared by special board of naval
officers. consisting OF Commander A. L..
Willard. Lieut.. Commander DaX!d E..
Theleen and Lieut.. John Downs. 1t was
approved first by Capt. +. L. Beatty,
commandant of the navy yard, and fin
ally by Acting Secretary Winthrop of the
Navy Department.
The statement is made at the Navy De-
partment that the wages Of the navy
yard employees are based on the wa7es
paid for similar work by private esta1-
lishments in the general vicinity OF the
yard. The only change in next year S
In effect is I'm the case of wood calkers.
The pay of that class OF employees was
reduced from $500 1896. ST. and Ms
for the various grades. to $685., -. -
$2SS and $264, respectively. 1t happenee
that there are no wood calkers employed
at the yard at the present time
Changes Glass Designation.
In approving the wage schedule for
1912. Acting Secretary Winthrop took
action on another matter which un-
doubedly will find general favor
among the employees, as they have
long objected to the present system OF
designations By the order just is
their pay rating. For instance, ma
ployes, such as first, second, third and
fourth class, as the case may be. will
no longer be used. Hereafter all EN-
ployes will be designated according to
their pay rating. Off instance. ma
chinists will be designated as machin-
lists at $3.76, at 1882. at 1928 and at
$40 instead of machinists Of first, sec
ond, third and fourth classes respect
lively as at present.
The order, which is made part or the
1912 wage schedule, follows:
The class designations in this
schedule are disapproVed. These will
be discontinued and only the signifi-
cant trade or occupation titles here
after used u all cases. The maximum
and minimum pay in each calling will
be that herein given for first and
fourth classes. The four rates Of pay
will be retained for the present, but
additional rates between those Gin
multiples Of eight, may. after fullest
consideration, be submitted to the de-
partment by cOmmandants for APP
proval when deemed advisable. All
previous directions and navy yard or
ders conflicting with this are hereby
rescinded."

PROBLEM FOR RUSSIA.
Policy in Persia Attended by Danger
CORRESPONDENT Saws.

LONDON, December 3O.-The Times st
Petersburg correspondent, discussing the
fighting at Tabriz, says today:
1T may be questioned whether ST.
Petersburg was wise in deciding upon
punitive policy involving the abroga-
ton of Persias sovereign rights. Russia
does not dream of anneXing Persian
territory. and the highly complex and
dangerous task of melting out retribu-
ton to the Tabriz revolutiOnaries is
likely to provoke further unjust ae-
cusations against Russia
Before the fighting ended at Tabriz
almost all the Russian ammunition had
been expended. and had the Fidais con-
tinued to fight day longer the Rus
slams would have been overpowered.
Many persons here are ASKING who was
responsible for the grave blunder of
depicting the Tabriz detachment on the
eve of an outbreak which was openly
prepared.''
