MARYLAND CONFERENCE
MEETS AT ANNAPOLIS
Interesting Convention In Interest
Of Social Work-Addressed By
Governor Ritchie

The third annual session of the
Maryland State Conference of Social
Work which was held in Annapolis on
November 10, 20, 21 was most inter
esting and helpful to all those fortu
nate enough to be present.
Among the speakers who addressed
the conference at different sessions,
were Gov. Albert G.. Ritchic, DR.. How
ard W. Odum, Director of the school
Of Public Welfare, University of North
Carolina; Albert f.. Howell and Mrs.
Martha Magee OF the Pennsylvania
Dept. Of Public Welfare; }. Arthur
Jellers, of the American Red Cross.
and Miss Ida Lee Tull, principal of
the Maryland State Normal School
Gov. Richie expressed his belief
that the State has reached the limit
OF it's ability to work efficiently tow
ard improving the social welfare of
the community. "The State should not
overstep it's present bounds in social
welfare work." he said
! In support of his contention, that
the State should not take control, the
Governor said that, if it did an army
of office seekers would take the places
Of the present social worker.
i Following Governor Ritchie's ad-
dress, Dr. Odum made plea for the
establishment of State departments
of public welfare, which he said, must
be as clear cut as the Department of
Education is in the State and local
government.
In his address, DR.. Albert E. How
Iell denounced the lack of guidance in
the expenditure of public money for
welfare purposes, and suggested three
possible remedies: "These are increas-
ed social legislature, intelligent pub
lie opinion, and the election of proper
Officials"
Miss Fall discussed the "School as
a Social Service Institution" If the
school functions as it should, she said.
the individual may be made a social
asset rather than a social charge.
The tremendous strides made dur
ing the last five or ten years by social
forces in Maryland were demonstrated
by the extraordinary exhibits of State
welfare organizations which lined both
sides Of the main corridor of the State
Capitol. From door to door of the
imposing hall, extended the two rows
of the display, demonstrating as moth
ing else could do, the work being done
for the protection of the weaker mem
bers of Maryland society.

1,6OO OUT Of Jobs
IN BONUS BRANCH
Stacking Up of Work Has Re.
suited in Big Reduction of
Force Since October.

The peak of the output of the ad-
justed compensation branch of the
adJutant generals office handling
claims for adjusted compensation
was reached in October, when the
clerical force numbered about 2,700.
Since then there has been a gradual
reduction of approximately 1000 in
the force. That number includes
about zoo whose services will ter
inmate next Tuesday
Adjt. Gen. Davis says that the
policy observed In making the neces-
sary reductions has been to release
first those employees whose civil
service status permitted their en-
ployment in other governmental de-
partments. Even as early as last No
vember the adjutant general, in COL
iaboration with the Civil Service
Commission and other governmental
agencies. arranged so that vacancies
existing In other departments would,
II possible, be filled from those ehgi-
BILE employees being released from the
bonus work and who desired such
employment. Considerable success
has been attained. Gen. Davis says,
and a large number of employees have
been placed in positions elsewhere.
BY following this policy, he says, a
suited and number of employees
having only a temporary status have
been retained beyond the time they
would have been held had not the
employees eligible for employment
elsewhere been first released and ac-
copied the positions rendered them.
Further Cut. Imperative.
However" said Gen. Davis, due
to the fact that March l the United
States Veterans Bureau began dis
patching checks for cash payments to
veterans, and the further fact that
tho daily receipt of applications is
falling off, the status OF the work
before the department is such as to
require an additional reduction in the
number of employees. The number of
clerks to be released will be approx
mately 200. This reduction Will be
made in the inverse order of eff
cheney, subject, of course, to the ex-
ceptions for military preference
Thereafter gradual reductions will
be made in the same manner, the
number of individuals employed being
kept ini exact ratio to the amount OF
work before the department.
"Coincident with the release OF EN-
ployes there will be a reduction in
grade of some of the remaining en-
ployes, necessitated by reduction In
overhead"
