Opposition to the propozed cut in the size of the Army was voiced em- phatically last night by Secretary of War Weeks and Representative Julius Kahn, chairman of the House com- mittee on military affairs, at the diu- ner in the munitions building in com- memoration of the 146th anniversary of the establishment of the Quarter- master Corps of the American Army. More than 300 officers of the corps and civiliens, a number of the latter having served in the corps during the war, took part in the birthday anni- versary celebration. Besides voicing their displeasure at the attitude of Congress toward the size of the Army after October 1 next the Secretary of War and the chair- man of the military affairs committee were both vigorous in their expres- isions of warning of what may be ex- pected if the Army is reduced from 225,000 to 150,000 as proposed. Both of these men praised the Quarter- master Corps highly for its splendid service during the war and for its present efticiency. “Grave Mistake,” “1 am considerably distressed about the size of the Army as is now pro- posed by Congress.” Secretary Weeks sald during the course of his re-| wonder if Congreas fully appreciates what our situation will if such a reduction actually is made.

It must know that con- ditions have changed. and that the Army today must care for essential branches which did not have a place in the Army before the war, such as the chemical warfare and the air services, [ only hope Congress will realize its grave mistake in time.

The agreement was de- posited with the Secretary of Labor. Thé new wage scale became effective June 14, it was announced, and will continue in effect until December 31 next. A similar agreement reached with radio operators and others will be negotiated with representatives of the seamen, firemen and cooks. The agree- ment also covers working conditions along lines previously decided upon.
