Appeal has been made to members
Of Congress for correction OF what
appears to be an unintentional lop-
ping of of government workers in
certain ofices under the terms Of
the annual Army appropriation bill.
For example. forty-th employees of
the offlce OF the chief of staff will be
separated from the service ON July /
next unless provision is made for re-
tanning them
It is pointed out to the members of
Congress-, many of whom have inter
,ested themselves in the subject, that
the regular civilian force of the Of
fee Of chief OF staff Is reduced from
its present total Of 1876 employees to
80 employees, effective July l. in the
Army appropriation bill just passed
by the House.

an employe interested. However,
that the deficiency appropriation bill
OF juno Is. 1917. in addition to- the
Regular Army appropriation bin for
the fiscal year 1913, also provided q
force OF twenty-four employees for
the office of the chief of staff.
I'm other words, as urged upon the
members Of Congress, pre-war- ap-
propriations., provided a total OF 1f7
employees, which was based upon an
Army OF. f.approximately 100000. This
force of III was further augmented
by nineteen clerks in the Regular
Army appropriation bill for 1919.
During the war, in order to carry
on the enormous increase of work in
the off1ce of the chief of staf it was
necessary to employ an additional
force Of approximately 700 employees,
paid from a general appropriation for
employees of the War Department.
This additional force has been stead
lily reduced since the armistice, and
will be released entirely by the time
normal conditions prevail
