4,8OOAT BUREAU

DAY EACH WEEK
U. s. Engraving Plant Adopts
New Schedule to Meet
Slack Period.

Beginning Thursday 600 employees
OF the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing will be forced to take a day
or a week, in a circulating furlough
system, because of shortage Of work,
according to Director James l..
Wilmeth.
The working force will be divided
into groups Of about 900 each, a diff,
ferent group being laid off each day.
The groups selected will each be COM
posed Of the same proportion OF EN-.
ployes OF each of the various depart
ments, so that the effect will be a
reduction Of one-seventh or one.
eighth Of the working force in each
department, with the exception OF
one or two subdivisions where the
work is still heavy.
The average wage being a little
above 81 a day the new plan will
mean a daily saving of s2,400 in
wages, or $l4,400 a week, Mr.. Will
meth explained. Continuation of
the system until July /, when new
appropriations will be available, will
mean a saving Of almost $3.50, 600,
One OF the advantages >of the
circulating furlough system is that
the entire force will be held intact,
though working but part-time, and
20 will be constantly ready for
emergency work.
With the expected increase in
work beginning about July l, when
the new appropriations will be avail
able, the furlough periods will be
curtailed gradually until the entire
force is back on full time work.

cabin, intent on weekend OF
shooting. Biscuit shooting-while
they lasted-was the only sport.
Awakening Saturday morning
members OF the party found them
selves snowbound. Continued snow
through Saturday locked them tight
on Sunday morning. with provisions
hitting the skids fast. Two of the
party struggled through snow drifts
to a farm house a mile distant for
food. Tuesday morning Taylor and
Mortimer Carr started out on foot
for home, walking eight miles to the
State road and six more to Prince
Frederick. There horses were OBJ
tanned. and over an unbroken road
the pair continued to Owing's Sta
ton, where they boarded n Chesa-
peake train for Washington.
Others Of the party set out
Wednesday. walking nineteen miles
to Prince Frederick, then returning
TO Solomon's Island. where they
boarded a boat for Baltimore. They
finally reached home Thursday
afternoon.
The motor part OF adventure that
gives the local men the title OF
motor boys remains a secret known
only to nature. Somewhere under
the snowdrifts near Carr's cabin are
parked the automobiles in which the
adventure was begun.
But the sportsmen are hopeful.
