\ MAKING RLDl ( TIONS Civil Service ( on mission Issues Its ~ Semi-Annual Statement The United State* Civil SeYvice C'omn.ixxion today issued it* semi- * annual statement regarding the extent of the Federal executive civil servicf . and reductions therein, as 'follow*: The Federal executive civil force " in the District of -Columbia *n.- r»- " duced by If.OM employee* during the year glided July .11. 1921. and by 38,*95 during the period fr/im November 11, 1918. to July 31. 1921. The reduction throughout the United State*, including the Di-trict of Columbia, '' was ttS.634' for ' the, year ended July " 31. 1921, and more than 300.000 during the perio.V-.frpm November 11, e 1918, to July 31. 1921. The reduction* continue steadily, but now, of • course, more slowly. c On June 30. 1916. there were 89.p 259 employees in the District of " Columbia, ami 400.539 in branches f outside the District of Columbia, mgkt ing the total on. that date 439,798. On November 11, i918, at the height of the war expansion, the number of employees in the District of Columbia .- wart 117 760. Owing to rapid iluctuat tions at distant places of employment, i it whs found impracticable to compile ^ . strictly accurate figures for the- force & ^ outside tive District of Columbia dur- m ing the war period. As near as can ^ l>e estimated, the force outside the - District of Columbia numbered apt proximately 800.000 on November 1!. B 1918. Thi* is a conservative estimate; j I it is probably 'too low. Adding the j number in the District of Columbia j on that date, the approximate total 3 > number of employees on the date the , i armistice was signed was 917,760. On , , July 31. 1920, there were 90,559 Fed- ^ j rial civil employees in the District ^ of Columbia and 600.557 in branches , outside the District of Columbia, mak- . ■ ing the total on that date 691,116. On . ■ July 31, 1921. there were 78,865 em- . j . ployee* in the District of Columbia ^ and 518,617 in branches outside, the j. total on that date being 597,482. ' All figure* named include Federal - ' executive positions classified under the . r civil service law and those not so - classified. * ^ -d 9
