M'ADOO'S RECORD IN TREASURY POST ONE OF BIC DEEDS
Tariff Bill, Income Tax Law and Federal Reserve Sys-
 tenn Inaugurated.

Washington, Nov 23-In the resig- nation of Secretary McAdoo, the ad- ministration loses the pHhion upon. which the entire governmental ma cninery was geared. The resignation causes vacancies which can be filled only by the appointment of several executives, for MT. McAdoo has been Secretary of the Treasury, director general of railroads, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, chairman of the Farm Loan Board, chairman of the board of directors of the War Finance Corporation and cha:Anan of the Central Executive Council, the governing board of the International High Commission, made up of dele gations from every country in the Western Hemisphere.
 MT. McAdoo in his tenure of office since March 6, 1913, has shouldered greater burdens of administration and finance than any man has ever carried in the history of the world. He has literally planned the financing of the world. In administration work the number of employees in Washington has leaped in the past five years from 7,5OO to 25,000. If the railroads employees are to be included, the total will be 2,025,O00. In the same time the daily treasury statement from a tow level of a daily balance of $15,- 100000 has jumped to a point where a maximum daily balance of o~er $2,00O, O,O00,000 has been registered. When he assumed office the Con- gress was considering the revision of the tariff act. the operation of an income tax act and the enactment of ] the Federal Reserve System Act. He l was largely instrumental in directing the thought which framed these meas ures.
 Following the passage of the acts, he made a tour of the country with | Secretary Houston and Controller oi | the Currency John Skelton Williams
 and mapped out the Federal Reserve 1 Banking System. It was this system
 which saved the country when the war came.
 | He soon afterwards caused orders
 to be issued which caused all bank
 to pay interest of per cent. upor
 government deposits. Up to this timt
 interest had been paid by govern | mental depositaries for only abou I-$1, 900, 900 of government funds.

Community Labor Boards.

Community Labor Boards.
 The fact that the authorities at Washington appreciate the oo-opera- tion of Connecticut through Federal Director Korpers offices in the pres ent labor crisis is indicated in the following telegram received late yes terday from Felix Frankfurter, chair man of the War Labor Policies Board:
 The farsighted intelligence and en- ergy with which you and your assD- ciates are grappling with the situa- tion in Connecticut is gratifying be- yond words. An effective transition from war to peace basis requires statesmanship and generous patience far beyond even that which was nec- essary in conducting the affairs of war and it is a source of great comfort that the important industrial state of Connecticut is dealing with che prob lem so effectively. Please convey to all those who are associated w5@h yov my deep appreciation. We are doing all we can at this eind to give you the necessary support"
