CLERKS JOBS SAFE.
No Reduction of Treasury Force IL
Expected.

While il is conceded that adoption Of
more modern business methods in the
Treasury Department will cause reduc-
lions In some OF the bureaus. II is certain
that the volume OF work in others Will
call for an increase in the force. and 1t
Is said that there Is small likelihood OF
any Of the clerks being dismissed as the
result of the activities of the improve
ment COMMITTEE now at work.
In order to be on the safe side, how
ever. il is likely that the officials will re-
fuse 10 I'LL any vacancies occurring from
now on until the committee makes its re-
port. II is said that IL this plan Is fol-
lowed there will probably be sufficient
vacancies due to death and designations
to take care Of any reasonable decrease
