tors Idleness to Save
U. S. ST., 900 a Year.

Secretary of Commerce Roper today
ordered the private elevator leading to
his magnificent suite in the big Com
merce Department Building to be closed
down for the duration of the depression,
Officials said the closing Of the lift
and its private lobby would save the
Government approximately $1,000
year operating cost.
Roper said that in view OF the fact
that his department had been hard
hit by the economy program he felt
it was up to him to make some sacri-
fee toward balancing the budget. From
now on he said he would use the public
elevator with the rest of the depart
ment'S employees.
The private elevator was installed by
the designers of the Sl7,500,000 build
ing, which was completed two years
ago. Former Secretary Lamont ordered
it opened to the public. but because it
was hidden behind a bronzed door In
the main lobby few people discovered

CALL Meeting TO FORM
reinstatement LEAGUE
Federal News Attacks Handling
of Personnel Situation, in
Editorial.

Government workers who have lost
out in the retrenchment program may
make a direct appeal to President
Roosevelt for employment in the new
emergency agencies.
Such action Is up for consideration
thls afternoon at a mass meeting at
the American Federation of Labor
headquarters, sponsored by the Ameri-
can Federation of Government En-
ployes, at which it is proposed to fern
the Civil Service Reinstatement League.
The entire situation is to be canvas
sed at this gathering, at o'clock, at
which John P. Simpson, president of
Interstate Commerce Commission Lodge
Of the federation presides.
Those in charge are desirous of get
ting good representation of the dis
missed workers out for the meeting, in
order that whatever is done will en-
body the ideas of those most affected.
Hit Handling of Personnel.
Meanwhile, today, in another broad
side, the Federal News, weekly news
paper of the National Federation of
Federal Employees, declared that the
reported study Of the personnel situa
ton by the special Cabinet Committee
Is rather belated," and asserts "the
administration should lose no more
valuable time in coordinating its per
sonnel plans"
1t Is singularly unfortunate" the
paper says that such indefensibIy poor
management has marked the admins
tratlon's handling of its personnel prob
lem. 1t is to be hoped ardently that
business and industry generally will not
take this particular leaf from the Fed
eral Governments book
On Own Initiative.
In informed quarters the belief is
growing that anything President Roose-
Velt may do toward aiding the re-em-
ployment OF civil service workers will
De on his own initiative rather than
at the instance of influential advisers
There have been definite indications
OF feeling in some quarters that there
IS no obligation on the Government to
LOOK out for employees being cut of
a1ter years of service
In two OF the new agencies-agricul-
lure adjustment administration and
transportation co-ordinator-every ef-
tort Is being made to employ civil serv-
Ice workers, but elsewhere the OUTLOOK
Is doubtful
