All these operations required a large staff, and the maximum number employed at headquarters was reached at the end of November, 1918, when there were. 1,763 persons engaged, of whom 910 were women. In addition there were 211 mes sengers, charwomen, and cleaners. An other 2,000 people were employed in the various British and foreign ports to which the operations of the Shipping Control extended on October 1st, 1919, the num- bers of the headquarters staff had been reduced to 1,598, and the "outside" staff to 280. The next twelve months eaw further reductions to 801 and 141 respec-. tively, and when the duties of the Minis try are absorbed by the Board of Trade at the end of March it is expected that a total staff of only 70 will be hand ed over. This includes 120 typista, mes aengers, register clerks, and charwomen, and of the remainder 370 are in the finance section, a branch which has been found to cost about 1 per cent. of the amount saved by its operations. The try for the two years 1910-20 averaged cash receipts and payments of the Minis about £27,000,000 a month, and the cost of the salaries of headquarters staff re- presented about 1s. 10d. per £100 dealt with.
