Much Overtime Contributed.

Throughout the year a large amount
of overtime has been contributed by
the employees of the bureau. 1t is only
by this means that the inadequate staff
is able to keep pace with the accumu-
latioH of work which must absolutely
be taken care Of
Plans for a reorganization of the bu-
reau are outlined in the report. Under
the first assistant chief of the bureau
1t is intended to place the chief clerk S
office, with the various subsidiary sec
tions, and three entirely new divisions
namely, division of field agents, divi-
sion of branch offices and division OF
commercial attaches Under the second
assistant chief are to be placed the edi-
torial division, Latin American section
division of statistics, division of for
eign tariffs, cost of production division
research section and a division which
DR.. Pratt says. sit is hoped will be Gre
ated, the internal commerce division
This plan, it Will be readily seen, seq
regates each part of the work and puts
each division under a responsible head
This plan would make the organiza
tion considerably more effective"
