Continuing Authority Needed

But something more is needed. The
opinion is growing among the federal
! employees themselves that some sort
| of continuing authority will be nee
essary to see that the arrangement of
workers into the proper classes is
continually looked after. AID also
that revisions may he made in pay
standards as occasion may arise.
There is every likelihood that the re-
port of the commission to Congress
will cover this whole question.
The need for continuing authority to
handle the administration of the re-
classification is clearly seen by ad-
ministrative officials. DR.. Herbert
Putnam, president of the District of
Columbia Library Association, in the
course Of the presentation of the plea
of the library workers for higher sal
aries, clearly enunciated this point
when he said: Neither the classi-
fication nor the wage scale can be
permanent There should be continu-
ing authority to consider revisions OF
each as they prove necessary If your
l.bIan intends such an authority. 1t Will
give a necessary assurance TO their
adoption now"
The National Federation of Federal
pn,rIeyes is in favor of some per
petuated body which Will administer

foreseen six months after adoption pS

10000 WORKERS
RECLASS|f|ED, BUT
APR0bLEMA ARISES
Actual Fixing of u. S. En-.
pIoyes' Status Raises
Doubt.
Federal puzzle:

cutIdl puzzle.
Now that the 10000 government
workers in the District have been
placed in classes by the joint con-
gressional commission on reciassifi-
cation of salaries. who is going to
place them actually in the classes"
This poser has got the famous
"pigs-in-a-pe puzzle of past years
beat to FRAGILE" administrative of
f1cials of the government declare.
Members of the Redistribution COM
mission admit that the problem is go
ing to be no easy one. 1t means the
transition of dheory into practice, and
this always proves a hard job.
Il can place my law clerks in either
one of two of your classes" remarke ed
an administrative official to Il re-
classification commissioner. 81 can
put them al in the class you have
can place them in Senior law clerk
Who is to say where I shall place
them"
Who. indeed"
GLASSES" Thought Well Defined.
Commission officials believe that the
administrative official mentioned is
mistaken. and that he will ultimately
find that the class specifications" for
viii really have little choice as to
where the CLERKS shall be placed.
But this illustrates just little of
the difficulty that is foreseen in the
actual administration of the classes
as designated by the Redistribution
commission. II is estimated that
about 1900 classes or jobs have been
| made for the 10000 federal employees
here who come within the Jurisdiction
! Of the Observation-Disclosures. These
classes cut clear across interdepart-
mental lines. For instance. a Junior
law clerk" will perform the same du-
ties and receive the same salary. no
matter in what department or bureau
of the government he may work
All Now Reclassified.
All the 10000 workers already
have been placed in their proper
classes by the Redistribution COM
mission. Each QUESTIONABLE card
handed in last spring by the work
ers has been given both service
number and a class number. The lat
ter as explained. shows what sort of
job the einploye holds. The service
number or letter shows into which of
the broader divisions of ella ifica ion
the employe comes, as in the clerical
service, for instance. The services
something more than thirty in num-
Der, also are cross departmental
that is, departmental lines are oblit-
Grated. and all clerks in all depart
ments are grouped in the clerical
service.
Now II is feared that difference of
opinion Will ultimately exist between
the commission and various admins
trative officials of the government as
to the ultimate placing of the en-
ployes in the classes Assurance was
given by a member of the commission
at the hearing afforded the library
service Wednesday, that opportunity
Will be given administrative officials
and also employees. to express opinions
on the placing of men and women in
the classes.

subject. He recalled that, in the
opinion of Marshal Foch, the

obliged to choose between that pro-
lection. which France alone would
have been obliged to assure. and the
protection afforded by the Amer

Without food. without clothing, with

ately clinging to the little mountain

Rather than abandon them they will

-~~ily half shield them from the ele-

UNITED STATES OWNS
HUGE GOLD STOCK
Enormous Supply of Precious Metal the Largest in the His
tory of the World Trade Balance Greatly in Our Favor

London, before the war. was the
financial capital Of the world The
streams of trade carried more gold
there. and deposited it. than at any
other financial center. Now, however,
the great money capital is in the United
States. According to the report of the
Federal Reserve Board which Colonel
J. B. Kemper, the Army Recruiting
officer has received recently, the net
movement of gold and silver into and
out of this country since approximately
the beginning of the gold embargo is
represented in the following table:
Gold and silver imported into and ex-
ported from the United States during
the period, September l, 1917, to May
81, 1919:
Total, imports. $114,646,7ss: ex-
ports, S109,353,256. Excess of gold
imports over exports since Septem-
ber l. 1877, s5,293.532.
On the whole, therefore. the effect
of the embargo may be said to have
been that OF holding practically intact
the net national gold reserve, this, at
least, so far as the figures indicate the
surface effects.
Situation In Other Countries
The situation produced in other
countries is outlined in the following
language:
Pending further action by foreign
governments. the United States stands
to-day as practically the only free
gold market in the world those neutral
nations where no gold embargo exists
being too small in the scope OF their
transactions or too limited In the opera
tions OF their banking machinery, to
afford any genuine or well-developed
world discount or gold market. Rela-
tions between the United States and
other countries are therefore neces-
sarily on a one-sided basis. This one
sided condition is rendered the more
peculiar and difficult by reason of the
tremendous merchandise balance of
trade which has been gradually devel-
oped. That merchandise balance for
the past three calendar years may be
stated in round numbers at about So,
0OO, 600, and bids fair to run at
something like the same rate for the
current year. In the following table
are set forth the figures showing the
States and the rest of the world and
movement of goods between the United
and the net balance thereof.
Merchandise imported into and eS-
ported from the United States during
tho period September /, 1917, to May
81, 1919,
September to December 81, 1915
Imports. s9O5.S70.35oi exports. s2.0S4,-
O7O.75O; excess of exports over i'm
ports. s1,17S.2O0 800.
Total Imports. s5.254,S52.52O; eH-
ports, s11.37O.262.60S excess of ex-
ports over imports. s6.115.41O,17S.
What Ia thus made evident is that
although the United States has become
possessed of the greatest single stock
of gold in history. 1t is now the claimant
of the greatest favorable merchandise
balance ever before developed. This
balance may be liquldated in any one
of many ways but in the absence of
any other liquidation it would of course
have to he paid in gold or remain as

an open banking or book credit-that
is to say, as a potential claim to gold.
In these circumstances 1t is clear that
the United States. while 1t may lose
gold under the new regime to any one
of a number of countries with respect
to which its balance may be temporarily
unfavorable, or to which for other rea-
sons a small movement of gold would
naturally set in. 1t can not lose gold
in any considerable amounts relatively
to its entire business, while such ad-
verse movements as may occur in trade
isolated countries will tend to correct
themselves.
