UNCLE SAM SFORCE
At Low EBB;, MANY
CLERKS ON LEAVE
All Departments Short.
Handed-Pay Day Not
Until After New Year.

The force Of Government workers In
Washington is at its lowest ebb. Every
department in the city Is working
shorthanded, and will be doing SO until
the beginning Of the New Year.
While none Of the departments Is
demoralized through lack Of help. the
employees are struggling to keep the
work going. This situation was brought
about by the desire Of the clerks to
use up any accrued vacation time they
might have coming. There were thous-
ands Of workers who did not get their
full vacation during the summer
months; many because they did not
wish 1t all, and others because there
was a crush Of public business. AS
the end of the year draws near they
must get the vacation now or lose 1t
unequivocally. There are more clerks
absent now than there were during the
vacation sdio . season son In In. August; ,.,., =,

but January / is a holiday. In past
years, when the first of the month fell
on holiday It has been the policy to
last of the month, but this year the
last Of the month comes on Sunday.
and pay envelopes cannot be circulated
Inc comptroller OIL INC 'ITedSuTy
held that the clerks cannot, under the
law, be paid until the full service has
been rendered. NConsequently they cam
not be paid until the very end Of the
month. Thirty days. however, is the
official and legal month. in the service,
and on occasion the law has been SO
interpreted that clerks could be paid
on the thirtteth even though there hap
pened to be thirty-one days In that
particular month.
Another odd circumstance has arisen
this year. December 30 is Saturday,
and by departmental order is a half,
until the end of the day, and as the
end of the day is a half-holiday, they
can not be paid then. BY no inter-
probation of the law can they be paid
for the month on Friday, and conse-
quently every Government worker will
have to wait until Tuesday to draw
DEFENDERS pay.
Many Government workers. however.
took advantage Of the quarterly pay
day allowed Just before Christmas, and
they are well content.

PAYNE AND HILL SEE
TAFT AND TARIFF ON
WOOL IS DISCUSSED
Agreed That Policy of Pro.
lection Must Be Main
tanned.

Congressman Payne of New, York
and Hill of Connecticut, leading nj
nOrity members OF the House Committee
on Ways and Means, were in conference
with the President for half an hour
this morning about the proposed re-
vision OF the wool schedule.
Nc. definite program resulted from the
conference other than an agreement
among those present that the Repub-
lcan party is pledged to a protective
policy with regard to wool as we'll as
to other American industries, and that
whatever tariff reform takes places at
this session OF Congress-, must be pre-
dicated upon this theory.
A rough draft OF a bill to be pre-
scented to the Ways and Means Com.
mittce by the Republican members was
reviewed by the two Congressman and
the President today. This measure gives
both the wool, growers and the wool
manufacturers protection. but 1t does
not provide as yet for a fiat rate OF
for an ad valorem rate.
This Is feature Of the measure
which the Republicans will have to
work out later. In the meantime the
President is anxious to keep in close
touch with the movements of the pro-
tectionists of the House. He has been
persuaded by them that he must stick
to the protection policy If he Is to keep
faith with the country and with the
party.
1t has become known that Representa-
tive Longworth of Ohio Is to be one of
the Administration leaders in the fight
for the passage Of a protective measure.
He was one Of the ablest supporters of
the tariff board idea and now is work.
Ing consistently to uphold the work OF
the board which he helped to create.
Senator Smoot of Utah, who probably
will lead the fight in the Senate for a
program in dealing with the tariff, also
was in conference with the President
today.

Recruit Of Diplomats.
Our diplomatic service IL recruited
from among the sons of the society peo-
pie. The candidate for . position in the
service must have 5000 year Of his
own, must speak with an approved OK
ford drawl. and must be polished in
courtly ways. SO a. to bow properly"
you mean that, although England IL
nominally democracy. its foreign af-
fairs are still controlled by its aris-
tocracy? was asked.
Precisely" he answered. "If we had
q stronger foreign minister who had a
real policy of his own, and who united
that policy with big conception of
England's place In the world, Il might
be different. But these men arise only
about once q century, and although Sir
Edward Grey Is personally very honest
he lacks the power to control his own
suboriinates.
III we had house of commons con-

the foreign secretary comes down and

Partly a. sequel to our French

our foreign office have happened to be
Individually pro-Russians. We enabled
the late premier of Russia to suppress

The devil in the machine Is not Grey,
