REDUCTION IN WAR
CLERKS BY JULY |
Fordney Plans Cut of So.
600 Workers to Bring
Economy.

Fifteen thousand clerks in the
War Department are to be dis
missed between now and July l. ac-
cording TO the statement made on
the moor of the House yesterday by
Representative Fordney. of Michi-
gan. chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee.
Fordney afterward quoted secre-
tary Weeks as saying that the War
Department employed only 1000
clerks before the war; that there
are now $4,000 and that this num-
Der should be cut to 1900 or 5000.
When asked il he knew of any
other government departments
which expected to reduce it's force.
Fordney said: Il expect that all de-
partments will make reductions I
do not see why they should not. l
do not know why they need 10000
clerks more than they did before the
war.
Others to Follow.
'I think the employees of the Bu-
reau Of War Risk Insurance can be
reduced materially by transferring
the compensation division to the
Pension once. I was informed by
the former Commissioner of Pen
sions that he could handle this
work with an addition to his force
of from $50 to 800 clerks.
1T is a pure waste of the peo-
pies money to keep so many In
necessary employees. There are So
that they spond their time reading
novels and crocheting"
Fordney's statement was made
sent request to print 5000 copies
of Secretary nf the Treasury Nell
on's letter calling attention to the
large sums of money which the
Treasury must pay out within the
next sixteen months and citing the
need for rigid governmental
economy.
Democrats Suspicious.
The Democrats. sensing a politi.
cal move in calling for the publica-
tion of so many copies OF the letter,
began to inject partisanship into
the debate, Representative Byrnes,
of South Carolina, saying to Ford
ney:
viii the gentleman help US
avoid those legislative subterfuEes
which have been responsible for. the
expenditure of hundreds of millions
Of dollarsr'
Fordney then called attention to
the fact that before the war there
were $4,000 clerks in the govern
ment service but that on March 4.
last, there were $4,000 clerks, many
of whom were not needed.
The Secretary of War told me
the other day he said, that he
was going to discharge $4,000
clerks before the first of July.
Now. that is Republicanism and
business. They are not needed"
