less, likely will be Ayerted this af-
ternoon at a meeting OF tho Journey
man Bakers Union. according TO In
dicstions this morning.

c.Iiators and TO take a strike vote.

There are ~ bakeries in washing

bakers and 800 bakers helpers. The

This Is only part OF the program

at the beginning of the year we
had between $500 and 3.4oo employees.
We have now dropped nearly l'ooo

with 273 names to cut from the
rolls. we were not compelled actually
to discharge more than score.
Nearly all the number was taken care
OF BY voluntary resignations. The
seasoned clerks know that there Is to
be vacancy in their job and sell
their services elsewhere.
II have had opportunity to place
many of them with the Census Bureau
at q lower rate OF salary than they
receive here, but they do not seem In
clined to take the Jobs.
1T Is probable they have been taken
care of by private concerns"
Separation of a large number OF
employees from a Government office
does not mean a wholesale cleaning
out OF desks and crowd of weepy
people saying good-by. This Is be-
cause all the employees have few
days leave Of absence due them. All
OF them had taken advantage of their
leave and gone away before the hrst
