government worker.
The totul number of civil serviee
employes last July, the commission
says, was 691,116 and the government
was using them in approximately
1,700 different kinds und grades of
work.
There were almost a million gov
ernment employes at the height of-
the World War the commission as
serts .and adds that pre-war flgmrmt
of some 480,000 in 1916 probably nev
er again will be reached. The ceas-
mission declares thnt an '‘altogether
rosy picture cannot be painted” df

A partial tabulation of the great!
nrmy of government employes flMW
the nverage age at 28.4 years and ths
average salary at $1,176 a year, •*-
clusive of the $240 yearly bonus which
many of the employes receive.

for placing all postmasters under civil'
service is renewed.
