TO Be LET GO.
Many Face Dismissal From Jobs
July |, Through Slashed
Appropriations.

More than 1000 clerks in the vari-
GUS Government departments IN
Washington will be dropped from
the rolls July next, through fail
ure of salary provisions being made
for them in the legislative approprl-
alton bill to be reported in few
days from the House Appropriation
I Committee.
WANT MORE RELEASED.
1t Is estimated that there are now
about sc. 200 clerks and employees in
ington. Since the war there have
been displayed about 10000. The
committee which prepared the legis-
lative bill for the coming hscal
year is not satisfied with the rapid
ity in release of the war workers.
There will he an increase In the
, Internal Revenue Bureau forces OF
about 700, the committee having
been convinced that the work OF
this bureau has been greatly in
creased in recent years because or
the income taxes. The reductions
will be made in the War Risk ln-
surance Bureau, and in other bu-
reaus of the Treasury
The legislative bill will carry
total appropriation OF about $780,
DOC, 900. This is S36, 100000 less than
requested in the estimates submitted
to the committee by the depart
ments. 1t Is s6.0OO.000 less than
provided for the present fiscal year.
Strong pressure was brought TO
bear on the committee for an ad-
ditional appropriation for the for
eign trade attaches in order that
their number might be increased.
The committee made no provision
for additional attaches.

HORSE RADISH CIDER
MAKESEYETEETH
CURL

Are you thirsty? Are you blue"
Do you desire to forget the turmoil
and strife of the world?
Then try horse radish cider.
Horse radish cider is ambitious;
it has nerve. fire. a powerful kick;
in fact. it is hot stuff"
BY all means try horse radish
cider If you crave an experience.
The connection was invented in
Hagerstown. Nd. but it is spread
ing rapidly. The Washington police
haven't received any riot calls so
far as result of the cider. but
they are expecting one any minute.
'Tis said that the distinctive
mark of the cider is a dropping of
the lower lip. In fact, the lip often
spins out of control and woebles
around over the chin. Immediate

His first job Is dispOsinG OF surplus
resolutions. Most New Year resolu-
tons are surplus. Then he tackles the
surplus revolutions. And this partic-
ular infant year is going to have
some job on his uncalIouscd fists when
he opens that campaign.
His first and worst resolutionist is
the old lady who feels that she isn't
doing the proper thing by the New
Year unless she has drawn up and
adopted at least two dozen rcsolu-
tons. She usually leaves her task
until the old year begins to feel the
grasp OF the icy fist, from a dark be-
yond Then she gets to work with
quantity of paper and a leaky pen
and proceeds to make ffe miserable
for herself and all the unfortunate
wights in the immediate vicinity. And,
after hectic sCratchings, she finds that
she hasn't got respectable total
Then she calls for aid. The last half
dozen on her list are Bitter Pills and

workers took the bull by the horns and have
shown us magnificent example.
The imperative need today is for UNITY OF
ACTION. MASS ACTION. ECONOMIC AC-
TION And the formation which appeals most
to the mind of the writer of this article is THE
ONE BIG UNION. In such formation and in
the shop stewards movement are to be found
the machinery upon which the new order of so
ciety is to be based. Let the ruling class weep
over the death Of their civilization. It is our
task to assist at the birth of the NEW ORDER.
AND OUR ASSISTANCE MUST BE METH

USELESS.
