Employees to Lose
Jobs for a Month
Lack of Appropriations Is
Given as Reason for Law
Off Ordered Some Time
Between March /. July |

Although the service of manv Of the
framed and experienced employees Of
the local immigration service is need
ed at Ellis Island, five hundred of them
we're notified yesterday by letter from
the Department of Labor that thew
would have to take months vacation
without pay some time between March
I and July 7.
Lack of appropriations to pav the
salary OF the immigration EMPLOYEES
was the reason given by the depart
ment. Many of those included in the
oolgatory vacation, it is said, can i'll
ahord TO take it, and on receipt Of the
order from Washington began plans
TO f1nd temporary employment until
thelf Involuntary suspension is ended.
In an effort to make the hardship
as hight as possible. Commissioner
Robert f. Tod has segregated the en-
ployees into two groups and divided
the time of lay-oF for each employee
into two sections of two weeks each
W. W. Husband. Commissioner Gen
erai Of immigration, came to New York
last week for conference with Com
missioner Tod. 1t was said at the time
mat Mr.. Husband was trying to find
some means Of reducing the depart
mental expenses. but it was denied that
he contemplated laying off any of the
employees. The Department of Labor.
1T IS said, had considered plan to
sniff men from the local bureau to
ether immigration stations in various
parts of the United States in an ef-
fort to keep them on the governments S
pay roll, but as the retrenchment pol
ICY of the department applied to all
districts 1t was found that the plan
would be Of little effect.
The order calling for a lay off does
not apply TO the employees on the
ferryboat, Ellis island, or to the small
group of the executive department of
the local hurnan

BUYING JUNK

We spend too much for foolish
things, for things we do not need /;
for 4Airedale pups and piston rings,
for idle tales to read. Tired Father
draws his weekly wage, and says to
wife and kin, "Since blowing coin
is all the rage, come, let Us blow it
in. l may be broke when l am gray,
like other shiftless skates. but while
l live no man can say that l have
tightwad traits. So, now, Miranda,
don your lid. and children, come
with me; along the village street
we'll skid, and buy all things we
see Tired Father labors long and
hard to earn the helpful scads !;
through weary days he renders lard,
or fashions liver pads: through long,
long hours he grcases pigs for use
at county fairs, or manufacturers
oakum wigs like that which grand
ma wears. And when he draws his
weekly pay, all stained with honest
sweat, he should to wife and kim
dred say, "The banks the one best
bet. just now you handed me some
hints that you would shopping go,
but | must see your plans and prints
before cent you blow. l give you,
wife, silver dime, the children
each a cent; there'll be no carnival
of crime. no coin for doodads spent.
In yonder bank I'll place 1ny roll,
and when we're old, eftsoons, we
will not freeze for lack of coal, or
starve through dearth of prunes."

The act of Congress permitting an
extension of the charter of the
Masonic Mutual Life Association of
the District of Columbia and chang
ing it's name to the Acacia Mutual
Life Insurance Association was signed
Yesterday by President Harding. J.
Harry Cunningham, vice president of
tho association, was at the White
House at the time Of the signing and
received from the executive the pen
used In affixing his signature This will
be presented by Mr.. Cunningham to
William Montgomery, president Of
the association.
The bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Williams of Illinois and
Senator Ball of Delaware. Earlier in
the present session of Congress a
similar bill passed and was referred
to the President, but he vetoed it.
This was due, 1t was explained later.

certain technical objections The bill
was changed to meet the wishes of
tho executive. In permitting an ex-
tension Of business under its charter
the association will now be allowed
to write individual insurance policies
Of more than $4,000. which was The
limitation under the old charter
granted by Congress.
