Office Force Commended
for Loyalty and Devotion
by Controller Williams

| with the great demand which has
existed in all sections, but especially
| in Washington, for trained clerks,
bookkeepers and accountants. and the
high salaries which have been obtain
i able in commercial life, the tempta-
| ton to avail of these higher pecu-s
MARY awards has been great
| Under these conditions it Is dis
| tinct pleasure to be able to pay spe-
cial tribute to the, constancy. loyalty
and fidelity with which the men and
| women employees of this bureau have
| stayed on their jobs and have ap-
| piled themselves to their arduous du-
| ties"
| This is the appreciation paid to the
| labors of employees of the Office of the
controller of the currency, given ex-
preston by Controller John Shelton
| Williams in his annual report.
Much Extra Work Imposed.
| Mr.. Williams continues:
Owing to the difficulty in obtaining
| the necessary authority to increase
! the force of the bureau to a point
| commensurate with the increased bur
| dens which have been thrown upon it,
/ our Office force has been required
| during the past year to do much extra
|
| hours. This they have done cheerfulIy
and effectively, and this extra service
was rendered without a correspond
| ing increase in$their compensation.
| With conscientious determine
| tion to perform their full duty and
do their part in the winning OF the
| war, the employees of this bureau, far
! and near. have generally resisted the
| temptation to accept outside offers
! and except for those who have en-
tered the Army and Navy they have
generally remained steadily at their
! exacting and very responsible tasks
| here. Their unselhsh, Intelligent and
| painstaking efforts entitle them to a
large share of the credit for the sue
cessful operation of this bureau.
Twenty four per cent of the male
| employees of this bureau left to enter
| the Army or the Navy. They have
| been rendering heroic and valiant
service. Several of them have yielded
up their lives for the land they
loved and fought for"

The Decline in steel.

Steel common, in which the total
amounted to nearly 100000
shares. closed the day at the low. The
weakness In Steel was due to the activi-
ties of traders on the floor. who sold
short for two main reasons. The an
nounced reduction in the price OF pig
iron and the fact that business did not
seem TO be expected at even the reduced
prices was the first reason. On that
overnight news Steel common opened
down half point As its efforts were
successful in keeping Steel low. the spec
ulative community revived its discus
sion of the price at which the corpora =
ii II would offer stock to it's employees.
1t was the belief in Wall Street that the
reason for the delay in announcing the
llldments 70 employees for subscription
was that the corporation had not con-
Guided its buying for that account An
other theory vas that the corporation
mad completed its purchases at higher
prices and did not wish to assume such a
heavy loss as would be entailed by MAX
ing its announcement when prices were
SO much lower. That theory was based
on the custom of the corporation to
make the Price to its employees two
points below the market on the day OF
the announcement The former belief
received the greater credence, from the
very fact that with all The heavy trad
lag in the shares the net loss did not ex-
coed two points. There were numerous
sales in very large lots at the low price
OF tho day The finance committee OF
the corporation meets this afternoon.

What with the slight significance at

clined to maintain It's belief that the DIM

anxiety. In fact, after the declines OF
yesterday it was pointed out that the
market was strengthened by the contin-
uance of n rally begun last week. The
further hope Of some relief for the trac-
lions. begotten of banking opinion. gave
promise of removal OF one Of the mem
aces to rally. But the Street was by
no means convinced that that rally
would be more than temporary. because,
as one man put 1t, beginning with the
untitled steel tonnage statement coming
Friday, there might we'll be expected n
series of unfavorable happenings. Among
the expected developments were listed a
earnings statement on

A heavy rain fell in the northern
section Of the state early Monday

The rain was heavy from the Canadian

that point south, the showers were
much lighter. Crops in the vicinity of

moisture is concerned.
