IN REORGANIZATION
Federal Employees Officers to

Full strength of the National Fed
Grafton Of Federal Employees win be
put behind the proposed bill OF Sena-
which calls for a reorganization Of
the executive departments Of the gov
ernment here. according to indica-
tions today.
1t is likely that special meeting
of the legislative committee OF the
national federation will be called soop
to consider thoroughly the question OF
the proposed reorganization bill.
Predict Favorable Action.
National officers Of the organization
are favorable to the plan Of reorgani-
cation, and believe that consideration
by the national legislative commit
tee will see favorable action taken to
stand behind the bill.
No conflict between reorganization
Of the departments and reclassiflca-
ton of the employees Is seen. While
the National Federation of Federal
Employees has.taken its stand square
ly behind reclassification. and is
Legislation at the coming short ses-
sion. officers Of the organization see
no reason why the reorganization
should not be considered at this time
They believe that reclassidcation
should come first, by all means, and
deprecate the view held in some
places that the reorganization OF the
departments should be made an ac-
complished fact first.

and equity, to prevent one worker
getting paid twice as much salary as
another doing exactly the same work,
whereas reorganization Of the depart

While reorganization is considered
important, reclassification is held to
be much more vital at present.

German toys which are not la

thousands on the American mar
kets for the Christmas trade. The
Nuremberg and Furth (Bavaria)

all the year on orders placed by
American firms last winter when
the German mark was down to
cent. Toys are among the few ar
: ticles allowed to. be exported from
Germany without special license.
=. Production costs are extremely
low, and the manufacturers, eager
to keep their plants going at any
price. have grabbed up business
coming. from the United States at
terms which no American manu-
factufer could even dream of un-
derbidding.a The goods are being

BIGGER ELECTRICAL
PLANT NECESSARY
Rapid Increase in Use of Cur.
. rent CompeIs Early Action,
Mr.. Ham SAYS.

Use of electric current is increas.
ing so steadily in Washington that
an additional power station or an
enlargement Of the Benhing plant will
be needed before the fall Of 1922, VII.
liam f. Ham, president of-the Poto-
mac Electric Power Company, esti-
mated today.
Increasing the size of the plant
where the current is manufactured
would have to be followed, Mr.. Ham
pointed out. by extensions 10 the
distributing conduits and substations.
An electric light company, the presi-
dent said. should not merely keep
pace with the needs of the city. buI
should prepare its equipment to be a
little ahead of the demand. The i'm
provements which the company ex-
poets to have to make probably will
involve a large outlay of money. ,
Experts Making Survey.
Mr.. Ham said that while the com.
pany knows enlargement Of it's plant
will soon be necessary. it has not de-
cided definitely on the work to be
done. Experts have been engaged, he
stated, to make survey Of the Poto.
mac Electric Power Company system
and also OF the development Of the
city to recommend what additions
they believe the company will have
to make to meet the demands for
service few years from now.
To emphasize the increase in the
use of current recently, Mr. Ham an
nounced that one day this month the
system carried $4,000 kilowatts, which
Is a new high record. Daring Christ

only $1,000 kilowatts, indicating that
