IN SIGHT, SAYS
SEN. STERLING
Subcommittee Expected to
Reopen Hearing as Soon as
Tariff Is Passed.

After six months delay. action
by the Senate on the Sterling
Lehlbach reclassification bill il
now in sight.
As soon as the tariff bill is dis
posed Of, the Senate Appropria
tions subcommittee, of which
Senator Smoot is chairman. will
reopen its hearing on the bill, and
Louis Graves, assistant chief OF
the Bureau OF Efficiency. will be
called for re-examination. Other
witnesses also will be called.
The supporters of the bill intend
to bring a number Of experts in
personnel administration before
the committee as soon as the hear
ings reopen. II is expected. how
ever, that the hearings will be
concluded in time for a report to
the Senate from the Appropriations
Committee in the late summer OF
early fall.
Senator Sterling, founder of the
bill, said today he was confident
Of action at the present session
Of Congress.
He knows that there is strong
opposition to the bill on the Ap
preparations Committee, but mas
much as the measure has been be,
fore the committee for six months
he believes that no further effort
will be made to block action upon
II.
The bill probably will be report.

Of dras''" amendments, but Sena.

200 employees
Of BUREAU WILL
LOSE POSITIONS
All Night Work at Printing Of
flee Eliminated as
Economy Move.

A further reduction In the num-
Der of forces employed at the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing was
announced today. Two hundred and
fifty employees win be released from
the service, effective tomorrow
evening. It was said at the office
Of Louis A. Hill, director OF the
bureau that the reduction will mean
a saving of more than $500,OOO to
the Government yearly. s.
The reason given was because OF
a decrease in the work. An estimate
of 10000 impressions daily have
been stricken from the orders. An
other reason is that the appropria.
ton for the bureau has been Topped
off.
It was said at Mr.. Hills office
that by reason of the decreases in
the forces, which will be made
gradually. night work will he elimi-
mated eventually.
An estimate of the total number
discharged since April is difficult,
1t was said at the directors office,
because many of the employees fur
loughed at that time returned to
work as the orders increased.
When II is expected to get back
to the prewar basis an dwhen night
work will be eliminated at the bu-
reau could not be forecasted today
at the directors office.
Many OF the forms used during
the war have become obsolete. thus
reducing the operations at the bu.
reau.
Nearly every division of the i'm
yoense nlant will he affected by tho
decreases tomorrow.

Locomotives, Long Out OF Use,
Are Being Taken Out to
Haul Trains.

Both spokesmen for the strik-
ing Washington. Terminal shop
men and officials of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers to-
day expressed the opinion that
railroads running out of Washing
ton would adopt any measures
necessary to maintain service dur
ing the present emergency, on ac-
count of the Capital Oeing the
cynosure of the nations eyes.
40 Per Cent Stay.
The Pennsylvania system. the
least crippled Of any of the trunk
lines on admission of the strikers,
having 40 per cent Of its old men
at work. has imported several
groups OF skilled mechanics from
other points to fill out the depleted
ranks of workers. Charles II. A.
Frazier, business agent for the shop
men declared.
las long as a wheel turns theyn
make a good showing here" he de-
clHred.
H. e. Wills, acting grand "hief OF
the locomotive brotherhood, ex-
pressed a like opinion.
Frazier reported to the daily meet
ing of the strikers at Washington
Hall that on over.Sunday inspection
trip over Virginia divisions of the
Southern and Chesapeake and Ohio
railroads had revealed a bad state
OF affairs as regards the locomotives
IN use on the latter.
"They have brought out engines
that haven't been In service for ter
years" said Frazier. land recalled
to the throttle men who have been
furloughed for long periods and who
pi eferred being laid off to being re-
duced to firemen."
Pennsylvania engineers have re-
ported to him, Wills said, that loco
motives on divisions between here
and New York are getting "in terri
bile shape"
Many Employed Unified.
This company had a big surplus
when the strike started" he went
on, 'but that has all been used
up and every day numbers of these
reserve locomotives are being taken
out for repairs"
In supporting a declaration that
the bulk of the substitute labor
brought into their shops by trunk
lines is untitled for the intricate
mechanical work required, Frazie
pointed out that members holding
cards in the six shop crafts must
90 through a course of four years
training as apprentices before they
can swing their own tool bag.
Unemployment never stared such
men as these in the face" he said.
consequently there could have been
no great number available as strike
breakers. The great majority of the
substitutes don't measure up to
union standard at al"
