500 U. S. WORKERS
WILL LOSE PLACES
Temporary Employees to Be At
fected Principally by Cut
Before July /.

Between 500 and 600 more employees
in the Federal departments here will
be dropped from the pay roll before
the end of the fiscal year, June 80,
according to an estimate by those in
close touch with the Personal Classi.
fication Board. The executive order
issued by President Coolidge yester-
day affecting efficiency ratings, will be
used in arriving at selection of those
to be dismissed
The reductions, It was said by an
authority today, Will largely be in the
Veterans Bureau, the prohibition en-.
forcement unit and the public debt
service of the Treasury Department
and 1t is natural to expect the large
percentage Of the employees to lose their
places will be temporary employees
particularly those in the Veterans
Bureau, where a large force has been
at work on adjusted compensation.
The Presidents new order, which
gives employees certain credit rates for
their length of service and for their
dependents, went into effect after its
PRONUNCIATION yesterday. The require
ments provided in this order will be
closely followed by those who are to
make up the lists for separations
from the Government. 1t will be
necessary for the personnel officers to
make changes and corrections In
efficiency ratings where their clerks
are affected by the terms of the new
order.
1t is stated that temporary clerks
of the 80, 60 and 90 day classes will
not be affected by the order. although
