DECREASE OF 1,052 U. S..
WORKERS IN March:
1856 Leave Departments and 1904
Employed-Total to 60 Since
Armistice is 5,179.

That government war workers in
Washington are being demobilized
now more rapidly than in the first
few months after the armistice is in
dicated by the announcement of a de-
crease of LOSE in the number of en-
ployes during March.
AS announced in The Star on Tues
day, this makes a total cut of only
5,173 since hostilities ceased, which
would leave the impression that a big
majority of the women brought here
during the war have not yet gone
home.
Behind the report for the month of
March. however, is the story of a
steady turnover of clerks. The re-
port shows that in reality 1886 per-
sons left the departments during
March and that 1904 new workers
were reinStated.
Incomplete figures reaching the Wash
ington division Of the United States

will show a decided reduction in the

office of the housing corporation, called

over of clerks, as shown in the March
report, keeps his office busy placing the

For Municipal Plant.

The ultimate remedy. as Dr. Fowler
stated in The Star yesterday, is the
establishment of municipality
owned and operated central pasteur-
izing and distributing plant. to which
the entire milk supply of the District
would be shipped and from which 1t
would be distributed. This would de-
pend upon favorable action by Con-
gress and would entail obtaining an
initial appropriation of sufficient size
to enable the District to take over ex-
listing pasteurizing and distributing
plants and to construct and operate
its own.

Topic for Monday Night.

At the conference Monday night the
questions of adequacy of supply and
prices to producers are to be dis
cussed, and the health department
regulations and system of inspection
also are to be considered.
Later in the week, the day not yet
having been fixed. DR.. Fowler is to
hold a conference with milk dealers
and distributors OF the District. while
at still later day a joint confer
ence, now being arranged, is to be
held between representatives of the
producers, the distributors and the
consumers, with the District health
officer.
1t is anticipated the outcome Of these
conferences will be a Qualification OF
the local milk situation and deter
mination of the business of claims
made by all three parties involved.
That any material reduction OF
prices of milk and cream to consumers
can be effected under the present sys-
tenn of distribution is matter OF
doubt, according to DR.. Fowler. Chief
among the reasons for the health Off
GERS dubious attitude on this question
is the excessive multiplication of dis
tributing agencies. entailing equal
multiplication of overhead expense
and all other costs. DR.. Fowler,
however, has no immediate remedy to
suggest for this condition.
