———— sucess i t E k F # DOCKERY COMMISSION REFORMS | DOCKERY JOINT COMMISSION. | Recommendations the Wisdom of Which | Has been Unanimously Recognized Washington, D. C., March 10.— The Dockery Commission, after just | review of the two years of work, has gone out of existence. The reforms it has brought about in department meth- ods have dispensed with 251 clerks and in various ways have cut down the cost of the departmental ma- chinery $607,591 yearly. These re- forms have been accomplished. Others are recommended, and if put into effect will dispense with the services of 252 more clerks and save the government $449,925 additional yearly. That is to say, the commis- sion in two years discovered 500 wholly unnecesary clerks, and has found the service encumbered hy useless red tape at an annual cost of $1,057,519. More than the reduc- tion in the army of government clerks and the saving of a willion a year, however, is the expediting of public business which has followed the overhauling of the departments. One of the remarkable facts about the work of the commission is that the democratic and republican mem- bers of it have worked together in complete harmony. Their reports on various reforms suggested have been unanimous. These reforms have been so plainly necessary that the bills to put them into operation have passed both house and senate by practically unanimous action This record is made still more nota- ble by the fact that the heads of departments and bureaus overhaul- ed have recently written reports up- ou the operation of the new methods and have without exception testified to greatly improved results in the transaction of government businese. The reforms which are recommend- ed, and which Mr. Dockery and his associates hope to see the next con- gress put into laws, are fully as im- portant as those which have been carried out. One of these reorganizes the of fice of the supervising architect end dispenses with twenty-six clerks. Another provides for a board to consider contested land cases ap- pealed from local land offices. This cuts down the present routine and renders unnecessary fifteen clerks, besides shortening the time hereto- fore necessary for decisions. The repeal of the law which pro- vides a bonus for successful con- testants in land cases is advised. This law has outlived its usefulness and exists now to promote litigation and encourage perjury. Without it the general land office would be re- lieved of nineteen clerks. She commission urges that the office of recciver in local land offices be abolished; that registers perform the duties of receivers and that re ceivers be made inspectors of public lands. Under the present conflicting work of several bureaus, the public surveys are confused and duplicated. The commission has reported a plan for a board of survey which will render useless seventy-nine clerks and save with vastly better results no less than $119,643 yearly. Investigation shows that the so- licitor of internal revenue is really a supernumerary, and that all of his duties can be performed just as well by the solicitor of the treasury. This wholly unnecessary officer draws $4,500 salary. The system of bonding govern- ment officials is susceptible of simple improvements which would save $68,000 annually. The money order office might be bettered by a change in methods which would let out thirty clerks. Inquiry shows that the naval of ficer at all ports except New York really adds nothing tu the effective- ness of the customs service and should be abolished. These are the recommendations the commission makes for future legislation. The reform accomplish- ed in two years, and the unanimity with which their wisdom has been recognized, are the best possible ev- idence of the - pressing - necessity which exists for this work. | A Reyiew of the Wort Accomphshed | Shows a Big Saving. Washington, D. C., March 10.—A done by the Dockery joint commission of Con | gress created for the purpose of in-| quiring into and examining the! status of the law organizing the ex | ecutive departments has been priut | ed. The greater number of the | | recommendations of the committee, so far, have been put in practical | operation and from time to time made public. The review that the entire cost of the commis- sion aggregated $41,364, while the actual annual reductions in govern- ment expeditures, made as result of its work, amount to $627,591. | “The reduction,” the review con-| tinues, “is not for the time being only, but will continue through each of the coming years. The commis- sion, however, felt that the expedi- tion of public business and added security to the government in its methods of accounting under the rew systems inaugurated would have fully justified its existence,even if there had been no diminution in expenses.” The estimated annual saving re- sulting from the reform is put at $239,430. Among the recommenda- tions made by the commission and not acted on relate to the reorganiz- ation of the office of supervising architect, contested land classes, repeal of the land contest act, trans- fer of duties of receivers of land offices, public surveys, abolition of the office of solicitor of internal rev- enue, bonds of government officials, checking of money orders, abolition of naval officers at all ports and the establishment of a substitute there- for in New York and writing and recording official letters. These re forms, the commission estimates, would effect an annual saving of $449,929. ARMED PEACE REIGNS. work shows Hotchkiss and Gatling Guns Un- limbered in New Orleans. New Oleans, La., March 14.—The stormy scenes along the river front of New Orleans have been succeeded by a calm, and something approach ing the normal condition of affairs restored Work was resumed on the wharves today, at least, partially it was only the colored screwmen who took up their tools and then only under the protection of an arm- ed guard. Where there were no troops, there was no work. The white screwmen neld aloof, nresérv- ed a sullen, threatening silence, but none made a move which woul: cause the militia to use force to sup- press it. Though still strained, the situation is much improved tonight. Governor Foster is still in the city and has announced his determina tion to remain here until the trouble | is finally settled. Negotiations are in progress which may produce this} happy result, but their outcome can} not be predicted at present. Mean-! while, the State authorities are tak- ingno chances. The troops who have been on duty all day are sleeping off their fatigue and are under orders to report for duty to morrow morn- ing, when work on the shipping will be resumed. By 6 o'clock this morning all were astir in the armories, where troops | have been quartered for the last few | days.

The report stated that Eads had kept Fffie Johnson, who by the way carries around many aliases, on the force. It also recom- mended that Captain Fagan, the most able clerk on the force, be re- instated at full pay. Fagan was dis- charged quite a while ago by Eads without excuse. Davidson of Marion, a minority of the committee, also handed in a re- port.

In the whole reign of McKinley- ism, from 1890 to August, 1894, there is not an instance on record of a voluntary advance of wages by any protected institution, through bun- occurred in 1891 against reductions in wages. Already Wil- son tarifi, however, with the rapid revival of business, instances of vol- untary raising of wages are of fre- quent occurrence, a late oae being that announced in a dispatch pub- lished in the Tribune and other Chi- cago dailies from Baltimore, to the! effect that “Baltimore manufacturers are advancing wages voluntarily and running their factories on full time, with an increased number of hands.” This statement is made with espe- cial reference to manufaeturers of} clothing. The dispatch says that | one firm bas advanced the wages of cutters and trimmers 13 per cent. | and tailors 12} per cent.. while an-| persons, has #ncreased wages 10 per cent. Itis further stated that the trade of one of these firms is “large-| ly in Ohio aud Pennsylvania, where | business interests have been effected | by the depression.” This last state-| ment implies that the industrial | revival in Baltimore is responsive to | alike revival in Pensylvania an | Ohio. And while it is particularly stated | that this voluntarily increase of wages is made under the new tariff. it is to borne in mind that the Me- Kinley duty on ready made clothing was 48} cents per pound and 60 per! cent. advalorem, equivalent on the) importations of 1892 and 1893 to about 82 per cent. The new law re-| all goods valued at more than $1.50 per pound, and 45 per cent. on all! valued at less than that. The re-| duction is upward of 42 per cent. | No wonder, adds the Chicago Herald, commenting at large on the, are surprised.
