613 !. C. C. Employees
FurIoughed Saturday

Furthering the Governments
economy program, the Interstate
Commerce Commission today Of
ficially announced that 613 en-
ployes will begin 9O-day furloughs
on Saturday and that at the
same time a five-day week sched-
ule will be put into operation in
two bureaus.
The five-day week shift will
eliminate Mondays as a working
day in the two bureaus Of the
independent Government cstab-
llShment.
Those to be furloughed have
been selected from the Bureau
Of Valuation and Bureau of Ac-
counts. In the former there are
910 employees and $40 have re-
ceived notice. Eighty-four work
ers in the Bureau of Accounts,
which has a $40 personnel, also
have been notified. These bu.
reaus alone will be affected by
the five-day week plan.
Notifications sent out under
the name of Secretary George
B. McGinty point out that efforts
will be made to find permanent
jobs for all furloughed employees.
They are warned, however, that
if this quest is unsuccessful, they
will be separated from the SER
vice. The furloughs, it was
stated, were decided upon Sothat
the status of the employees would
be preserved pending the search
for permanent positions.
The notice said:
"That you are included
among those to be furlOughed

tive orders and rules that have
had to be applied to reOrganiz-
ing the staff that can be car

The National Daily
Figures Show English

but a larger percentage gain in
England.
In this connection, LlOyds Bank
observes: "TO sum up our recent
monetary policy, every care has
been taken to apply the stimulus
OF easy money and to give the
business world the assurance that
ample credit will be available. {.
but it has equally been realized
that there is nothing to be gained
by creating credit to the point Of
redundancy"
During the year England's steel
production increased 80 per cent,
electric power 1879 per cent; and
the clearings of metropolitan and
country banks gained. Employ
ment was up.
Similar statements can be
made of the United States, ex-
cept that our bank clearingS
have fallen behind a year ago.
In wonder, therefore, how much
our experiments helped. Ap-
parently England has gained
without them, and at the same
time made more improvement
in her bank position and the
national credit.
The bank reports English
wholesale prices have risen 8
per cent. against a IA per cent
rise here. Primary commodi.
ties" were up 16 per cent, against
our rise of 48 per cent.
English producers and traders
are said not to have undergone
the sudden and excessive ad-
vance in costs" that has bur.
dened ours.
1t seems fair to conclude that
conditions have improved in Eng
land. Some English bankers re-
gard our experiment" as un-
sound and so doubt it's lasting
success.
I may add that in England
"bankers" command more re-
Spect than seems to be the case
in America just now.
