They are as different as making # bucket and making a watch. NECESSITY OF SKILLED WORKMEN. ‘The Secretary devotes several pages to a de- i of the difficulties in modern ship building, and then he says: To turn over work of the kind described to unskilled workmen is to imperil the efficiency of our ships and to ruin the new navy, which has been built up with such infinite labor and pains, faster than it can be acquired, and, at ‘the same time, to involve the government, yh the Navy Department, in an extrava- needless expenditure. Considerations off fin the rst place and of economy the second, therefore, demand that some tical business way shall be found to se- competent workmen. It has fallen to this inistration to be the first to grapple with question, and I have considered that, no matter how great the difficulties, I should not be im shirking or evading the duty. question, has been: How hal the Navy Department t good foremen and good work- men in fe building and repair yards?

The general object proposed above, the necessity of which no one can deny, could not be accomplished without a radical change in organization. Everybody knows, and it is of no use to evade the fact, that the navy yards have heretofore been used largely for purposes of political pa The system which I Selled fa exbtence pleced the wer ofthe ap- peimtment of workmen in the hands of the fore- men, and the foremen were generally political imtees. With sucha system it was im- f that the test of fitness for employment ee the yard should be the skill of the applicant, for those by whom he was recommended were not hisemployersand had no knowledge of y jonsas a workman.

But the work which the yards are now called upon to perform cannot be done under that system. ‘The workmen must be chosen for their quali- pon penn een Ory be asccom- plished juding evei er consideratior ‘than those of skill and pare er wen - COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION OF FOREMEN. ‘Is became evident to me, after two years’ ex- perience in the department, that in order to obtain the kind of workmen required in the navy yards @ specific change of organization Mus necessary, and a plan for the selection of foremen and other superintending mechanics was put in operation in April last.

It may be s short trial, but the superintendent must him and PERSONNEL OF THE NAVY. ‘What the Secretary Says in Regard to the + Officers of the Service. Secretary Tracy in his annual report devotes long chapter to tho matter of the personnel of the navy. He refers to the work of the board of line officers, appointed in June last, under Capt. RL. Phythian, to consider the causes of and measures against stagnation in promotion. The Secretary says: Inreference to the engineer corps, whose necessities are of a somewhat different char- acter, no board was deemed necessary, the ro- ports of the engineer-in-chief having pointed out with clearness and ability the measures considered necessary by him to promote the efficiency of the corps. A modern man-of-war is a vast and complex machine, needing intelli- gent and trained minds to insure a perfect working of the parts, failure in any one of which may be fatal at a vital movement; and the sense of responsibility, the physical and nervous strain upon the engineer officer charged with the care and supervision of this network of machinery is very great. His duties are not only of the highest importance, for upon him mainly depends the efficiency of the motive power, but they are at the same time arduous and dangerous. Manual labor and subordinates are at his service, but he can- \d he should have the as- sistance of men like himself to bear their share his load. It is false economy to put in our new vessels all that is most advanced in high-pressure ma- chinery and the multitude of engines and de- vices by which steam and mechanical appliances are made to do the work of man and then to provide an insufficient number of officers to control them. AS To LINE OFFICERS. In reference to the line officers, the report of the Phythian board, transmitted herewith, is commended to thecareful attention of Con- gress. The picture it presents is not overdrawn and ite argument in favor of measures looking toa change will convince any impartial ob- server that a radical change is necessary. The remedy proposed is believed by the department to meet in its general principles the necessities of the ease, although many of its det require essential modification. ‘The object of any pian of naval promotion is to produceefticient commanding officers. To accomplish this men must reach the rank and responsibilities of command before they have passed the prime of life, and while they have Still a reasonable period of service in prospect. ‘The Secretary then goes on to a review of the recommendations made by the board, which have already been made public, and be concludes: With many of the features of the board's plan the department is fully in accord, but it finds others that are open to serious objection. It believes that a scrutiny similar to that sug- gested in the report is advisable, but it is strongly of the opinion that, before the seru- tiny takes place, an opportunity should be given to those officers who may so desire to make, as a voluntary step, the transfer which the scru- tiny contemplates. in three ways: First, by allowing all officers who are veterans of the war to retire on their own application with advancement to the next higher grade; second, by allowing all officers whohave passed more than fifteen years in one grade to retire on their own application, with advancement to the next higher grade; third, by allowing all officers having twenty rs or more of service to go upon the reserve foton their own application, without further promotion, and subject only to shore employ- ment. These three measures will secure, first, an honorable retirement in the nature of a well- earned reward for those whose services have been most meritorious; second, the advance- ment of one step for those whose who have suffered injustice byreason of long-delayed promotion; and third, it will enable such offi- cers as prefer it to go of their own option upon reserve list, thus exchanging the benefits of promotion andincrexsed pay for the benefits of shore duty. These measures will also ac- complish a considerable part of the necessary reduction of the list by a voluntary instead of compulsory transfer. ‘THOSE BEST FITTED FOR SEA DUTY. After these voluntary transfers are com- pleted the scutiny should be held and the se!ec- tion made, not, as proposed by the board, of the best officers of the navy.which isa somewhat invidious ground of distinction, but of those officers best fitted for sea duty.’ The new ac- tive list will then include only officers who are fit to go to sea, and who want to go to go to sen and who mean to go to sea, und they are the only oificers who are entitle! to promotion. It should alsos be provided that the numbers selecied for this active or sea going list should comprise not less than 85 per cent of the total number re- maining after the voluntary tr: had been made. ‘The large number of vacancies thus made at the foot of the new active list should not be filled at once, but only as casual- ties oceur in the original body of officers com posing both the active and reserve lists. In reference to the question of selection the department believes that « limited application of the principle of selection m place of senior- ity as thd basis of promotion is a necessary feature of any successful plan. It has been tried for many years in the army, and has been found to incréase its efficiency in a high de- gree. It may be that the offi selected for the positions of general officers in the army not always the best in the service, but they are never bad or incompetent. There is no reason why the system should not work equally well in the navy, or why this branch of the ser- vice should be placed relatively at such a seri- ous disadvantage. No system can be consid- ered sound or reasonable which assumes, as does the present system of seniority promo- tion, that every individual who graduates from the Naval Academy is just as weil fitted as any other for positions of high responsibility and command. its defecgs have again And again been pointed out by my predecessors, and a change has been repeatedly advocated in the interest of economy and efficiency. SYSTEM OF SELECTION. I would therefore recommend in place of the complex system of the board the adoption of the system now in force in the army, as being simpler, better and more effectual. Under this system the President should be author- ized to select from the grade of captains the officer who, in his judgment, is best fitted for the above, and the same rule should hold in promotions from commodore to rear admiral. The present system cannot endure much longer. With the new ships we must have a personnel whose efficiency is beyond question and whose excellence is on the increase and not on the wane. No country could afford to keep up such a system and maintain a body |.of officers such as the line of the aavy will be- come in a few years under existing conditions. No country could afford to pension in the higher grades officers whose whole time in come toa conclusion about him. When he re- te men he sends their names back to the ‘and new names are supplied until he ob- tains the mechanics he needa.
