ploye, while all that is necessary
or all that is claimed by anyone as
necessary is sixty-five square feet"
Senator Smoot said he wanted to Law
the survey before the Senate as
quickly as 1t is completed, so the SEN
ate would have full information.
Outside of one or two bureaus and
departments of the Government" said
Senator Smoot, every one of them
has more space than is absolutely
necessary, and we want to cancel ev-
cry lease in the District of Columbia,
and we want to see all employees of
the Government housed in buildings

VIII show Number EMPLOYED.
In this connection. Senator Nickel
lar of Tennessee wanted to know IL
the survey would show the number
OF persons employed in the various
buildings and bureaus.
1T will show how many were en-
ployed on May l." replied Senator
Smoot. and explained that il also
would show the space occupied by
each person.
81 hope the survey will go further"
said Senator Pomerene of Ohio. "and
show how many hours some OF these
employees are at work"
That Is a very good suggestion"
Senator Smoot replied. My opinion
is that il would be a splendid thing
not only for the employees but for the
Government.
Would Drop One-ThIrd.
"since l made a former statement
that 1 thought we ought TO see that
there are at least one-third Of all
the employees OF the Government dis
charged, and that the other two
thirds would do their work better
without the one-third who would be
discharged. l have received hundreds
OF letters from employees of the Gov
eminent, in which they say the state
ment is without question correct, and
IL they would only give us the work
to do'-and the letters generally come
from the older employes-'we would
see that the work was done and could
be done just as well, il not better,
with one-third OF the employees dis
charged who are now in the employ
ment of the Government
Senator Pomerene Of Ohio inter
rupted at this point to say that he had

Immediate steps are being contem-
plated in the Senate not only to cancer
all Government building leases in the
District. but also to investigate the
working hours Of Federal employees,
with a view TO cutting down material
ly the force of persons now engaged
in the various bureaus and depart
ments of the Government
These are the outstanding features
of the policy to be pursued in re-
storing Washington to a peace time
footing, as indicated in the Senate de-
bate on the urgent deficiency appro-
priations bill.
During the course of the discussion
the claim was made by Senator Pome-
rene of Ohio that additional war
workers" were put in some of the bu-
reau when there was not sufficient
work to keep the persons already en-
ployed there busy half their time.
Senator Reed Smoot Of Utah declared
it was still his opinion that one-third
of the Government employees could be
discharged with better results to the
Government.
Too Much Space.
He made the claim that in some bu-
reaus there were 4S7 square feet Of
space for every employee, while only
sixty-five feet are required for each
person, yet the Government is spend
ing large sums annually in rentals.
The first step toward solving this
problem was taken when the Senate,
at the instigation of Senator SmooI,
refused to follow the instructions or
the Appropriations Committee to
strike out an appropriation Of about
$4,000 for the maintenance of tenn
porary office buildings in Washington
containing an area of 1,193,901 square
feet.
Senator Smoot told the Senate that
the buildings were essential to the
Government. as the Senate Committee
on Public Buildings intended that all
Government employees were to be
housed in Government owned build
ings. thus eliminating the thousands
OF dollars in rents being paid by the
Government annually.
To Survey All Buildings.
A complete survey OF every build
ing in the District owned by the
Government will be submitted to the
committee in two or three days.
SenatSr Smoot explained. showing the
exact space per square foot in each
building. Let me call the atten-
ton of the Senate to the fact that
there are bureaus in this Govern
ment today" said Mr.. SmOOt, that
