ORDER DISMISSAL
OF 10000 CLERKS
AT WASHINGTON
Greatest Reduction Will Be in
War Departmental orestalls
Inevitable Action.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, March 3O.-As a re-
suit of popular disapproval of the
retention of the civilian war ma
chine practically intact 10 months
after the end of the war, the ad-
ministration has decided to reduce
the force of clerical employees in the
District of Columbia.
The order has gone out to dismiss
at least 10000 clerks before July II.
The greatest reduction will be in the
War department., which noW has
22,OU0 civilian employees, compared
with $1,000 when the war ended and
2,8l6 before the war began. There
will also be large reduction in the
Treasury department, which has 49,
600 employees i'll Washington, COM
pared with 29,342 when the armistice
was declared and S,285 before the
war.
The principal cut in the Treasury
department will be in the war risk
bureau, which now numbers 5000
employees. There were $4,000 en-
ployeS in the bureau when Director
Cholmley-J Jones took charge. He
began wedding out the superf7uous
employees and installing labor saw
ing devices and he now contemplates
reducing the force to 1000 within
the next two months.
In taking this step, the admins
tration is only iorestalling to some
extent the action it will be COM
PEELED to take after July l.

The Dutch government on March

Dutch government would take all
necessary measures to minimize the
liberty OF Wilhelm and prevent him
from endangering the worlds peace
The communication stated that pre-

"UNcLE JOE," 80,

fight IN HOUSE


Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, March 30.-'Uncle
Joe" Cannon OF Illinois prevented
a threatened fist fight on the floor
of the house Tuesday when the
impressive dignity of his SO years
stopped the fire-eating Represent
ative Blanton Of Texas i'll a mad
rush for Representative knutson
OF Minnesota, who had aroused
his fighting blood.
Blanton had insisted on i use
less roll call i'll pique to delay
proceedings on the naval bill after

feated in an effort to strike out
small appropriation for clerk hire
When Blanton forced the roll call,
Knutson shouted that's a dirty
trick"

replied angrily, leaping to his feet
and advancing toward Knutson.
Uncle joe Cannon, who has
seen many such things started in
the house before, quietly slid from
his seat and interposed himself
between Blanton and his pros
pective foe, at tine same catching
Blanton by the hand, patting it
as he would a kitten, and whis-
pering in the enraged Texans ear.
Meanwhile Knutson had shouted
for order and the clerk had begun
the roll call. Blanton's belliger-
ency faded long enough for hins
to remember that he was in the
hall Of the house instead of on
Texas prairie.

Disabled Yanks Not Getting
Proper Care Is Charue Made

Washington. March 30.-Charges
Of delay, incompetency and mis-
placement of former service men in
vocational training by the federal
board for vocational education were
made before the house education
committee by Cornelius w. Wick
ersham, representing the American
Legion of New York,
Lack OF personal contact between
representatives OF the board and
former service men seeking train
ing and the low disability rating
given applicants, Wckersham said,
have contributed to satisfaction.
Charles Danielson, counsellor for
Columbia university, told the COM
mittee that tuition bills at the uni
versity for men taking vocational
courses amounted to $4,000 had not
been paid by the board. This fail
ure to pay, he said, has resulted in
a drain on the universitys endow-
ment fund.

Indications were overwhelming

the assembly as whole and that
the recommendations in the maiori-

The size of the majority favoring
