Matter of Grave Importance.

"Inasmuch as the 10 per cent numerical
reduction in the clerical and other office
force of the War Department would be
chiefly within the city of Washington, it
is matter Of grave Importance that so
large number of persons now employed
in this city should be suddenly and arbi-
trariy deprived of employment While
government is not engaged n any chart
table undertaking by way of employment
OF clerks and the Congress is justified in
reducing employment where consistently
possible with due regard to efficiency,
and, in the interest Of government econ
omy, is obligated to such course wher-
ever an excess number Of clerks are en-
ployed, 1t was the sense of the SUBJ
committee that an arbitrary reduction in
the terms of the provision quoted, Is OBJ
jectionable from the. standpoint of the
interest of the clerks involved and Of this
community where a majority of them
live.

AID TO COL. LANGFITT.
First Lieut. Jarvis J. Balm Named
for Post.

First Lieut.. Jarvis j. Bain Corps of
Engineers. has been assigned to duty in
this city as assistant to Col. w. c. Lang
fit. the engineer officer in charge of the
District water supply system. and of the
improvements in progress in the Potomac
and Anacostia rivers. He takes the place
vacated several months ago by Capt. w.
T. Hannum. now stationed at Honolulu.
Lieut. Balm is from Indiana, and was
graduated from the United States Mill
tary Academy in June. 1905. Since then
his entire service has been with engineer
troops at Fort Leavenworth, Kan; San
Francisco. at Washington, d. c.; in Cuba
and later in the Philippines. He was at
tached to the 1st Battalion of Engineers
at Fort Mason, Cal, during and after the
earthquake and fire in San Francisco.
and afterward was attached to the Cd
Battalion of Engineers during it's service
at Washington barracks. at Havana and
at Manila.
He served in the Philippines from
April. 1893, up. to a few months ago,
when he returned to the United States.
He is now in this city on leave of alb

Barred From Unemployment.

while the subcommittee did not wish
to assign specific grounds for objection to
q provision which Is strictly a matter of
national concern, and IL matter of sound
policy otherwise not jLstffably to be OBJ
jected to on account Of it's incidental ef-
feet on this community. attention is called
to the provision In passing. And 1t is
further pointed out that IL this section of
the bill becomes law, together with the
War Department provision above cOnsid-
cred, il would be impossible for the War
Department employees who would be dis
charged by the arbitrary reduction of
force there to secure re-employ ment in
the year 1913 in any other government de-
partment in Washington.
1T is obvious that the War Department
employees, being separated from the serv-
Ice under the War Department reorgan-
zation, would be ineligible by the terms Of
this section for appointment to any va>
cancy in any department Of the govern
ment in Washington, since they could not
be appointed to such vacancies unless act
ually employed at the time of such ap-
pointment, so as to be promoted or de-
NOTED to the vacancy in the course of the
fiscal year 1913.
This consideration emphasizes the
propriety and justice of making the re-
duction of force in the War Department,
If necessary for economic administration,
not as a matter OF one operation, but
through a period of time.
Section 5 of the act was highly objec-
tionable as originally drafted in the BILL
1t limited all present employment to ter
inmate June 30. 1913. limited all appoint
ment thereafter to ive-year periods. and
prohibited the employment of persons
more than sixty-five years Of age. Their.
was also a provision that congressional
assistance could not be used in securing
reappointment.
The section was amended. to make
present employment terminate June 80
1877: the Observation-Disclosures provision
was retained to be operative after the
date last mentioned and the sixty-hve-
year age limit was stricken out The
congressional assistance feature was also
eliminated.
1T was the sense of the subcommittee
that the chief objection to this section as
finally passed by the House rests in It's
indirect effect upon the civil service sys-
tenn.

Filling of Vacancies.

Section of the bill is as follows:
That during the fiscal year 1913 no
vacancy occurring in the classified service
of any executive or other government
establishment within the District of CO.
lumbia shall be filled except by promo
ton or demotion from among persons en-
ployed within the District of Columbia
in such department or establishment:
Provided. that is in the judgment of the
President the exigencies of the service
require. and he shall so order. transfers
may be made during the fiscal year 1913
from among persons employed within the
District Of Columbia in one executive de-
partment or other government establish
ment to fill vacancies that may occur in
the classified service of another executive
department or other government estab-
lishment.'
THE section is Objectionable from the
general viewpoint of the community,
aside from it's strictly political features
gagged by the standpoint of economic
government, in that ii purposes an inevi-
table reduction of the number of persons
living in the District of Columbia employ
ed by the government.

BIG CUT IS OPPOSED.
Against Drastic Dismissal of

HOUSE ACTION CRITICISED
Report Of Chamber Of Commerce
Subcommittee.
PROPOSED APPEAL TO SENATE
Ten Per Cent Reduction in Force
Declared to Be Wholesale Injury
to Faithful Servants.
HOUSE ACTION CRITICISED
PROPOSED APPEAL TO SENATE

The committee on law and legislation Of
the Chamber OF Commerce, headed by A.
Leftwich Sinclair, will meet within a
week to consider a report Of a subcom-
mittee disappearing those provisions of
the legislative. judicial and executive ap-
preparation as passed by the House which
look to cut In the civil service en-
ployes. Mr.. Sinclair said today that his
committee would be ready to lay the mat
ter before the board of directors at its
meeting June 5. IN time to send a COM
mittee to appear before the Senate COM
mittee on appropriations in regard to
these provisions. If 1t was deemed advisa-
BILE to do so.
The report Of the subcommittee was
and legislation by Levi Cooke. chairman
of the committee. 1t says in part as
follows:
Proposed Reduction in Force.
That provision of the bill which pro-
vides for a direct cut is as follows:
{" On or before the 3Oth day of June,
1912. the Secretary of War shall cause
reorganization to be made of the clerical
and other Office force of the War Depart
ment. herein provided for, so as to re-
duce the whole number of said force not
less than 10 per cent; and the salaries or
compensation of all places herein pro-
vided for In said department that may be
embraced within such reduction shall not
be available for expenditure. but shall
lapse and be covered into the Treasury.
THE Secretary of War and other Off
GERS and officials connected with the War
Department have stated that the clerical
work of the department can be meas
urably reduced without decrease of eff
cheney, the reduction apparently being
made possible by curtailment of the cler-
ical work which in the past has been un-
necessarily performed under the depart
nient's system.

recommends that the full committee ad-
wise the Chamber of Commerce to take
steps in the Senate committee on appro-
priations to have the section so amended
as to carry the reduction over a period
of time sufficient to make il possible for
the discharged employees to secure re-
employment from time to time 1t is

can justify such immediate measures Of
