FEW j. s. WORKERS
WILL Be DISMISSED
400 to Be Dropped From the
Treasury July !, But Not
Many Elsewhere.

Comparatively few employees in the
Federal departments and Independent
offices in Washington are scheduled
to be dropped from the rolls at the
beginning of the new fiscal year
conducted by The Star and which
sets at rest the annual rumor of a
big reduction in some of the Govern
ment establishments.
The great bulk of those to be
separated from the Federal service
are employed in the Treasury Depart
ment, which plans to drop more than
400. The total for the other depart
ments and independent offices prob
ably will not run over a hundred.
In the Internal Revenue Bureau it
is expected that about 800 persons
will be dropped from the rolls of the
Washington offices. principally in the
income tax division, and about 200 in
the field Additional Treasury per-
sonnel will be dropped from the office
Of the register of the Treasury, where
list Of III has been prepared and
already is before the Personnel
Classification Board.
Office to BE Abolished.
In the Department of Justice about
40 employees will be let out from the
war transaction section, representing
a decrease of about rs per cent in that
office, which is caused by the great
decrease in it's work. With this de
crease, that office as such is to be
abolished and it's work turned over to
other branches of the Justice De-
partment.
In the Interior Department about
40 permanent employees will be drop
ped on June 80 because of consolida-
ton Of the work, elimination of some
work and a general tightening up in
the force all along the line. In this
department, however, the list of those
scheduled to be separated from the
service has been held up by Secretary
Work in view of the Cummins resOlu
tions recently adopted by the Senate
directing an inquiry into the matter
of dismissals in that department.
The. temporary appointment of 10
or IL employees in the Labor Depart
ment's Bureaus of immigration and
Naturalization win end on June 80
and about 29 clerks on the temporary
roll of the War Department also will
De OTOppou tIlcu IIoIl Tie "Hltld
Bureau, office Of the chief signal
officer and the Secretary's office.
Clerks to Be Shifted.
Twenty-Five clerks now in the ad
iusted compensation division will be
shifted to the section caring for com
pletion of Confederate Army records
for which appropriation has just been
made.
Beyond those involved in he'nOrmal
monthly turnover, no separations are
scheduled for the beginning of the
fiscal year in any of the other de-
partments or offices Of the Federal
Government here. This includes the
Department of Agriculture, Post Office
Department, including the Washing.
ton City Post Office; Navy Depart
ment. Commerce Department and De.
partment Of State.
Official statement that no separa-
tions beyond the normal turnover will
be made with the beginning of the
fiscal year also was made at the
Veterans Bureau, Interstate Com.
merce Commission and the Office OF
Public Buildings and Public Parks.
Chief Clerk Haden of the Interstate
Commerce Commission explained that
the stable work of the commission has
obviated any necessity for temporary
EMPLOYEES and there are none Of these
now on the rolls to require a reduc'
ton in force.
