Turnover in Service. “The turnover in the government service is assuming large proportions. Hundreds have left the service. and the separations from government em- ploy to be made in the interest of economy in the next few months will run into thousands. All of these for- mer employes of the classified civil sarvice will make applications for re- fund of the amounts deducted from salaries for the retirement fund. hile the sums invo 1 claims_are not lar :t in many cases they mean much to those out of a help to tide them over while seeking work élsewhere. These claims should be promptly set- tied, but this cannot be done with the smail force engaged on this class of work, and several months are going to elapse between the filing and set- tlement of these claims for refund- ment of money earned but withheld under the terms of the retirement act.” In the meantime, the report points out, letters of complaint are coming in increasing numbers from these claimants, their friends and members of Congress, adding greatly to the| embarrassment of the bureau. A small additional appropriation should be made to enable the bureau to employ a few temporary clerks to promptly settle the thousands of claims for refunds “which will come CHIPPED BEEF P-eor-s-0-n-a-] CHRISTMAS CARDS Should Be Ordered NOW. and two pockets. handle {O! the nearly two million maml‘ier: branch. = of the German Metal Workers' Union, the section of the report of the COM-1g45,¢ one-halt are women.
