ACTION Of congress
PREVENTS INCREASE
Controller Rules War Depart
ment Cannot Fill Seven
Positions.

Although the legislative. executive and
judicial appropriation bin passed at the
latest session Of Congress specifically
provided for seven additional Offices in
the War Department, the controller of
the Treasury has informed the Secretary
Of War that the force cannot be increased
to that extent. He bases his opinion on
the general provision OF the same bill
that no new appointments shall be made
in the War Department until the existing
force shall have been reduced per cent.
In other words. he takes the ground that
the general provision nullifes the spe-
cific provisions which follow it in the
same bill.
Under the heading of War Depart
ment the legislative bill provides in
the opening paragraph as follows
During the fiscal year 1913 no va
cancy occurring in the classified service
OF the War Department, herein pro-
vided for, shall be filled except by pro-
motion or demotion from among those
within said service, until the whole
number OF those herein authorized in
said classified service of the depart
ment shall have been reduced not less
than per centum. And the salaries or
compensation of all places herein pro-
vided for that may be embraced within
such reduction shall not be available
Tor expenditure Dut snail lapse ana De
covered into the Treasury
Positions Cannot Increase.
That paragraph is followed by provi-
sions for the clerical force in each of the
bureaus. divisions and branches of the
War Department. These provisions en-
brace an increase Of three clerks at 81. 400.
81, 200 and 81 Goo respectively, in the Of
6cA nf the CHIEF nf an9Snoera adj
tional law clerks at 81, 400 and $1,000, re-
spectively. and an additional clerk at
81 400 in the ONCE Of the judge advo-
cate general. and an additional clerk at
$l.6o0 in the ofiice OF the Secretary Of
War.
Although the controller holds that the
total number of positions In the War
Department cannot be increased under
the law by new appointments, 1t Is I'M
derstood that he sees no objection to the
promotion of members OF the existing
force to the seven new positions with
higher salaries created by the current
appropriation bill. That course will be
followed with the result that the ap-
propriations will be used without actually
increasing the number OF employees.
No Bar to Promotions.
apparently conflicting provisions of the
Dill SO lar as IL anectS the war DEPART
ment in particular is that the seven new
positions provided for are to be counted
in considering the 5 per cent reduction
called for. The total force of the depart
ment is now stated at 1901 employees.
Not a single vacancy has occurred since
the law took effect. On the contrary. the
aggregate number of employees has been
increased by seven i'm the manner indi-
Gated. 1t thus appears that while no
appointments can be made until the 5
per cent reduction shall have occurred.
there Is no bar to promotions and other
changes in the existing force.
