Tor this and the Woodbridge sub
branches. During the periods Of peak
loads the Chevy Chase branch is so
congested that operation is most dif-
ficult and arduous and this condition
should be relieved without further de-
lay, the trustees said. The increase
of $1,440 would permit the renting Of
an adjoining storeroom having $50
square feet.
To meet growing demands for serv-
ice, the trustees requested an increase
from $380,0l0 to $440,970 in its pay
roll, permitting the addition Of 40 new
positions, at cost OF $59,46O. Twenty
OF the new positions would be to stan

REORGANIZATION.

Job assurance for efficient employees
Is an element that must be considered
In any Governmental reorganization
program, Jacob Baker, president Of
the United Federal Workers Of Amer
lea. said last night in a radio address
from Station WJSV.
ITO safeguard the efficiency OF the
Government service Government en-
ployes doing efficient, useful work must
be assured that reorganization will
AFFECT neither their efficiency. their
usefulness or their tenure" said the
head OF the c. l. o. affiliate.
Recognition Of Loyalty Urged.
COMPETENT Government employees
whose positions are consolidated into
other departments, or whose agencies
are eliminated, must be assured that
recognition will be given to their
competence and loyalty by transfer to
similar positions in other agencies of
the Government before any new per-
sonnel is employed"
Baker described as "improvident"
the contention that the purpose of re-
organization is to reduce expenditures
and discharge employees, because the
field of Government activities is con-
tinually broadening"
BY the judicious distribution and
reorganization Of the functions within
the Government service, many of
these new activities may be under
taken without any additional COST"
he emphasized.
Dismissal Fears Cause Lose,
TOO, the threat of widespread dis
missals within the Government service
may destroy far more than the dis
mlssals can possibly save Although
only a few hundred persons were
eventually let go. the fear of dismissals
would permeate the entire Government
system, undermine the morale of the
whole administrative machinery and
result in losses from ineficiency far
IN excess of the gains from dismissals."
Baker declared there is need for
organizations of Government workers
whose spokesmen can Cooperate with
administrative officers mot only be-
cause they are in the Democratic
tradition, but also because they will
improve the public service, facilitate
the administrative problem and raise
the employees morale"

LOUISVILLE. KY. September 49,
Selecting Birmingham for the 1898

Action on whether the strong print

said.

With election of officers set for next
May by direct vot- of the 10000 men,
bers of the union, leaders are loath to
let the affiliation issue get too in
grained into the presidencs- battle.
In rapid fashion yesterday delegates
turned down proposals to limit use of
travelling cards; to deny the union
label to shops that pay less than 80
cents an hour and run more than 40
hours week; to raise the old-aee
pension payments from SO to $40 a

nially and to raise the per capita tax
for support of the international to 10

was taken off. still leaving that area
at 96 per cent. Detroit, the seat of
the automobile strikes, maintains ca
pacity output.
while total motor car output has
been reduced by General Motors sus-
pensions, having declined last week
to 85,703 units from 90, ,142 in the week
before, some automobile companies not
affected by strikes are increasing pro-
duction and are taking large volume
Of steel.
THE outstanding development of
the week is the return to the market
on more liberal scale Of steel con-
suming industries that have been
backward buyers for some time,
notably the oil companies and public
utilities.

without doubt an element of protec-
ton against possible labor troubles in

remains that consumers have not been
