CLERK DEPL0RES LACK
OF CHANCE TO ADVANCE
James R. Jones Gives That as Rea-
son Why Longer Hours Should
Not Be Demanded.

Little opportunity for advancement
in the government service is offered by
James R Jones, a federal worker, as
another reason why Uncle Sam should
not lengthen the work day of his en-
ployes from seven to eight hours.
"It is a rule" wrote Mr.. Jones, that
large business houses have short hours
and small establishments long hours,
but it should be borne in mind that the
fellow who puts in the long hours with
the small establishment very frequent
ly becomes a partner in the business
after a few years, while the fellow
who works for Uncle Sam gives up
that chance"
which the executive positions are held
by officers of the Army and Navy, he
continued:
''In some of the government depart
ments the executive positions must OF
necessity be filled by Army or Navy Of
ficers. offering no opportunities for ad-
vancement that are really comparable
to such an opportunity. In competing
with the various lines of business
which do afford such an incentive the
government must give some strong in
ducements in the way Of opportunity
for education and the like if it is to
keep a stream of the best kind Of Of
flee help coming to the departments.
Offers High Salaries.
"At present the government is COM
peting by Offering unprecedentedly
high entrance salaries, but this system
of making the initial salary unusually
attractive is calculated to prove un-
satisfactory in the long run If the
service be made otherwise unattrac-
tive.
THE government is already getting
from some classes of workers about
two and one-half times as much work
as it obtained from those classes
twenty years ago. No particular credit
ernment or the workers; it has come
about from the use of improved Office
appliances and methods. For example,
in many Offices touch typewriters are
today copying matter at the rate OF
sixty words per minute, which re"
years ago would have been laboriously
copied by a "copyist" at fifteen to
twenty words per minute.
Adding Machines Is Example.
.The use of the adding machine in
place of the old method is another ex-
ample. And it may be pointed out IN
this connection that it is automatic
among enlightened people that the in,
yention of labor saving devices should
result, among other things. in shorter
working days"
Mr.. Jones also raised the point that
hundreds of efficient men and women
have been attracted to the government
dneartments in Washington because the
seven-hour day enabled them to i'm
prove their education by study after
hours. The eight-hour day. he SAID.
will discourage this class of persons
from coming to Washington to work
for the government.

Patent law examiners who have received
part of their training as examiners in the

Lane and Commissioner Newton to return

emergency by taking positions as exami-
ners. If only for year.
The law provides for scarcely enough
examiners to care for the normal business

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. February pa general
rush to sell and sharp breaks in values
resulted today from action of board of
trade directors establishing maximum
price limits on all business in future
deliveries. Oats especially showed
acute weakness, but the unloading
seemed to be of miscellaneous char
acter that did not affect any large in
dividual holdings. Rallies which en-
sued from the extreme low point
touched at the outset were mainly due
to profit taking by the shorts. After
opening / Is to 31a down. with May
S71a to SO, the market gradually
reached comparative steadiness around
sSA for May.
Corn reflected only to a moderate ex-
tent the depression of oats. Urgent ex-
port and industrial demand tended to
act as an offset for the new restric-
tions. which in any case could not di-
rectly apply to corn with any greater
stringency than has long been the case
Opening prices, which ranged from X
to u to ssaA lower. with March 1.27is
and May 1.2614 to 1.27, were followed
by slight changes within the initial
limits.
Provisions dropped at once as far as
the rules would permit for one day

better and the morals of the men more
safeguarded.
