chanfred from assistant in char<re of distribution to assistant. You 

 xvill see below that we have two assistants at $2,500. instead of one, 

 as we have at the present time. 



Mr. Buchanan. Let lue <ret that strai«rht. Is this another new 

 position at $2,500 that you have just mentioned? 



Mr. (\)BBS. Xo: just a chanfre in title from assistant in charfre of 

 distribution, which is the present title, at $2,500. to assistant, at 

 $2,500. 



Mr. Buchanan. That is just one of them. 



Mr. CoBBs. And we have one already, which will make two for 

 the next year. If I may <ro back just a second. I'nder assistant 

 editors, at $1,800, we have at the present time two. one of whom 

 is attached to the office of motion pictures, and that position is 

 accordinofly transferred to the extension office, leavinfr one in the 

 division. 



The next chanofe comes in draftsmen and photo<rrai)hers. at $1,600. 

 At the present time the division has three places. Two of these are 

 employed in the motion-picture office, and have consequently been 

 transferred to the office of extension. Likewise, there is at the present 

 time draftsman or photo<rrapher. at $1,500, in the motion-picture 

 office who has been also transferred. Other transfers include an 

 assistant photoo;rapher. at i^OGO, and a lal)()ratory aid, at $900. 



In the clerks, we have now 5 of class 4; two of them are assigned 

 to the office of exhibits and have been transferred. Three clerks of 

 class 2, assi<2:ned to the office of exhibits, and 1 of class 2, assigned 

 to the office of motion pictures have been transferred, reducinc: the 

 number of positions of that class in the division to 10. Two clerks 

 of class 1 in exhibits and 1 of the same ^rade in motion pictures 

 have been transferred to the office of extension, reducin*; our total 

 to 18. One clerk at $1,100 in the office of exhibits, and two clerks 

 at $960 in the office of motion pictures have been transferred, with 

 chan^je in title to laboratory aid. 



The next chanfje there occurs, I think, in the $840 messenirer or 

 laborer ;[rrade. in which one position in the office of motion pictures 

 is transferred to extension: in the $720 jjrade one is transferred. 

 A messenger boy at $720 and one at $600, attached to the office of 

 motion pictures, are transferi-ed to the statutory roll of the extension 

 office, and this roll has been reduced accordin<rly. 



The assistant in char<ie of motion pictures and the chief cinenui- 

 tographer have been transferred to the statutory roll of the office 

 of extension work: the assistant in charge of exhibits and the assist- 

 ant in exhibits, with salaries of $.').000 and $2,000. respectively, have 

 been transferred to the lum])-suin fund of the exhibits appropria- 

 tions.

Now, let me come down to the $060 clerical grade. Five of these 

 positions have been dro])]-)ed in addition to those which have lieen 

 IrauslVrred from the roll: in addition, 1 messenger or lal)orer at 

 $840, 1 messenger boy at $720, 1 messenger or laborer at $720, 2 

 messengers or laborers at $600, 1 messenger boy at $48t). and 1 

 oharwoman at $240 luive becui dropped. Those positions have been 

 dropjx'd in accoi'dnnce witli the secretary's desire to det-ivase the 

 personnel.
