EMPLOYEES
NOT TO Be REDUCED
First Assistant to Burleson
States Special Clerks Will
Receive Full Pay.

FIRST Assistant Postmaster General
Koons stated today, when his atten-
tion was called 70 published state
ments regarding the reduction OF spe-
claI clerks In the reclassincatiOn OF
salaries OF postal employees. that the
had no such intention,
but that. on the other hand II In
tended to 'reclassify the salaries In
liberal manner and give employees all
Advantage possible under the re-
classincatioG act,
THE salaries OF postal employees
have been heretofore fxed by patch
work legislation. resulting In some
receiving much larger increases than
others, so. naturally, all employees
cannot receive the same Increases
when the salaries are recissslred.
The department also Will base the
salaries on the nature OF the work TO
which the employes are assigned
the only equitable basis OF adjust
ment," MI. Koops declared. .'E
WILL RECOGNIZE siERiY.
THE position Of special clerk is in
tended for. export distributors who
have become proficient in the work
and who, 80 far as efficient mail serV-
ice TO the public Is concerned are the
back bone of the service The dis
tributor should be recognized, as this
class of expert employees Ahas hereto
fore not received the recognition TO
which II was entitled: and in read
Justing the salaries u Is proposed to
do so. All who are not designated
as special clerks will determine for
themselves whether they are to re-
main in that grade by performing
the duties OF a special clerk. II they
have heretofore enjoyed the salary
and not performed the duties OF
special clerk they should no longer
expect to do so.
No REDUCTION IN NUMBER.
There will be no reduction in the
number of these employees because,
should any special clerk not now per-
forming the work OF a special clerk,
prefer TO remain on the work now as
signed to him, an expert distributor
would b. promoted in his place to the
position OF special clerk, SO that after
the ADJUSTMENTS of salaries there
~ III be as many special clerks in the
service as there are today"
Mr.. Koons also stated that there is
no foundation for the statement that
those who do not continue in the as
signment as special clerks viii be re-
duced in salary, as such Will not
occur. Special clerks, now receive a
maximum salary of $I750. while un-

FINANCIAL PLAN FOR
CUBA IS SUGGESTED

HAVANA, Cuba, Dec. 24.-Adoption by
the Cuban Government of as much of
the United States Federal reserve sys-
tenn as is legally possible has been rec
commended to President Menocal by Jose
Manuel Tarafa, who has submitted to
the President a number of suggestions
which he believes will straighten out
the financial situation in the island.
In case there are legal obstacles to
Cuba being admitted to the United States
Federal reserve system, Senior Tarafa
declares the United States Government
should be invited to cooperate with Cuba
in establishing in this city bank of
emission. Another plan suggested is that
invitations be extended American banks
enjoying the confidence of the Reserve
Board to establish here, in agreement
with the Cuban Government, bank of
emission under the same regulations that
govern the reserve bank.
Other recommendations include issu-
ance of two series of bonds to secure
bank loans; governmental guarantee of
savings deposits of workers inspection
OF banking Institutions by proposed
national treasury commission. which
would be given the power to suspend
Government loans to banks found guilty
or~violating regulations.

GRAIN.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.--Argentine offerings
TO Europe at cents a bushel cheaper

bearish influence to-day on the wheat
market. Prices closed unsettled at q
cents net lower TO q. cent advance. with
March S1.65 TO S1.65A and May S1.61 Il
to s161 Y. Corn finished = TO / y cents
down. and oats unchanged 10 g, cent Off
In provisions the outcome varied from
80 cents decline to 20 cents advance.
News OF Argentine offerings was en-
phasized by word of fine harvesting
weather in Argentina, with the yield of
good quality. Beneficial rains were also
reported in India. where OF late the crop
had suffered from drought Therefore
export demand was reduced to a mini
mum, and the only actual new foreign
purchase reported was 115,000 bushels
for Belgium. Evening ZIP OF the holiday
tomorrow. however. brought about
somewhat of a recovery late in the ses-
sion, although sales to go to store here
were noted and comment resulted from
the freedom with which deliveries on
December contracts went around.
Corn and oats lacked support except
on declines. Provisions averaged weak
er. with grain, despite strength in the
hog market.
