FEDERAL PAYROLL
CUT $4,000 TO DATE

The Harding Administration is
making renewed efforts to cut down
the force of Federal clerks in Wash
ington. At the time of the armis-
tice they numbered about 10000.
That figure has been reduced to TO-
600 but still further discharges are
expected to bring the force nearer
the pre-war total. New orders to
department heads call for the dis
missal of temporary and inefficient
employees. Postmaster General Wood
is going carefully over his depart
ment searching for those whose SER
vices can be dispensed with, and it is
expected that substantial reductions
in his force will be made in the near
future. Other cabinet officers are
making similar plans.
