SILENCELAW OFF,
FEDERAL WORKERS
HELP DAWES SAVE
Show Him How He Can
Furnish Office at No
Expense.

Government employees, long sub
ject to an unwritten law of silence.
are responding readily to the In
vitation OF Charles G. Dawes, Direc-
tor of the Budget. that they come
forward with suggestions for more
efficiency and less expense in the
conduct of Uncle Sans business
establishment In the past either
indifference or fear for their jobs
had sealed their lips. Now, how
ever, several bureau chiefs already
have come to him. carrying their
own ideas or those of their work
ers.
Saves on Desks.
Walter F. Brown. who represents
the President in the task of re-
organizing the executive DEPART
ments, also is receiving a wealth Of
suggestions for improving governs
ment efficiency. and in his ONCE has
a file devoted entirely to the let
ters and suggestions from govern
ment workers.
Dawes, acting on the advice of
a bureau chief, already has seen
how ideas from within the govern
ment can promote the cause OF
economy When the former A. L.
+. general began to look around
for furniture and other once equip
ment "a bureau chief recalled that
practically every government de-
partment had surplus once equip
ment stored away in the basement
So Dawes dug his desks, filing cabi-
nets. etc, out of the cellar ana
spared the government a neat ex-
pense account.
AS a result of the bureau chiefs
suggestion. Dawes will recommend
that an executive order be issued
fice equipment before new purchases
are authorized. 4 saving running
into thousands of dollars Will be
made on this item alone.
VIII Reward Authors.
All the suggestions are not acted
on so quickly. As they are pre-
sented to him. Dawes makes note
Of them all. opposite the names or
their authors At the end of thirty
days he will coordinate them, sep
arate the good from the bad. and
draw up a program based on the
timely suggestions. And the men
with the ideas also will receive
credit, through a system of rating
which Dawes intends to establish.
Cooperation, in Dawes opinion,
Is going to help materially to re-
duce the cost of government

NEW PROMOTERS
BEING SOUGHT
To Finance the Dempsey
Carpenter Bout, Per-
haps in Canada
RICHARD LEFT ALONE
BY THE OTHERS
William A. Brady Says
Contracts We're Not
Mutually Observed

New York, Jan. 20.--Tex Rickart
said to-day he would procure other pro
moters TO take the places of William
"A. Brady and Charles B. Cochran and
attempt to hold the Dempsey Carpen-
tier fight in Canada.
After a day of denials that the bout
had been cancelled because of the fail
ure to post forfeits, Brady announced
that so far as he was concerned he was
through because the contracts had not
been mutually observed. He also said
he was authorized to announce the
withdrawal of Cochran who is in Eng
land.
Followers of the sport here generally
agreed that the breaking up of the tri-
umvirate of promoters presaged virtual
abandoning of the plan to hold the con
test in the United States. Richard is
in favor of staging the fight in Mont
real on July 2. Cochran's offer to hold
the fight in London was given serious
consideration by many enthusiasts.
Richard expressed surprise of the &C
tion of Brady and Cochran He regard
ed their claim that the forfeits had not
been posted in accordance with the
strict letter of the contract as a purely
technical objection.
