Jomkecs MR WEEKS STATES NEW ARMY PLANS Informs Gen. Pershing of In- tentions Under Act of June 4, 1920. Secretary Weeks has informed Gen. Pexshing, chief of staff, of the course to be followed by him and his asso- ciates in the Army in the reorganiza- tion of the military establishment in conformity with the act of Junme 4, 1920. He says that act marks an epoch in military legislation In that it makes the Reserve Officers Training Corps and the citizens' training camps . for voluntary military training essential arts of the military system. An importaht feature of this mew law,” s cretary In his letter to Gen. that while Con- general plan of af thes United States, and provides the personnel deemed neces- sary for its formation, the details of muilitary organization are left to the executive. Citizen Soldiers. “An examination of the statute shows that the new law is based on the idea that in the future, as_in the past, Kreat wa o to be fought in the main by armi composed of citizen woldiars tempordrily drawn into active military serv But wher in the past the neces- xary citizen forces have com- nletely extemporized or mate re- wrzanized upon the occurrence of an they shall he allocated territorially, that they ahall he alloc v, that men De as- ocal units, and that as funds vailable provision shall be for the training of these officers h tha requirements of thig in _view war establishment \ai the peace organization of the gular Army musi be determined. 1t the President’'s desire that the agular Army shall ba so organized 28 to carry out the iutent of Congress o . the fullest extent.

Economies Expected. “The organization of the Regular Army into a limited number of effective military units_will not only release a greater proportion of officers for duty with other portions of the Army of the Tnited States, but will facilitate great economies in the maintenance of the ce establishment. As ¥ interpret the intent of Congress in providing foc the division of tha coun- try intn corps areas, their primary object 15 to form a decentralized organization for the promotion and development of the National Guard, the organized reserves and the Reserve Officers Tralning Corps. 1t is my desire, therefore, that this func- tion_should be especially emphasized by the War Department.” CREDIT FOR COTTON CROP. Reserve Banks Formulate Policy to Assist Marketing. Further oredit for the purpose of harvesting and marketing the coming cotton crop wilbe extended in what- ever amoaunt may legitimately be re- quired, it is announced by the Fed- eral Reserve Board and the govern- ors of e reserve banks of Richmond, Atlanta, Kansas City and Dallas. The announcement was made after | a meeting of the governors of the re- serve banks in the cotton growing sections to formulate a uniform policy on cotton loans for the orderly Tharketing of the new crop. It was decided that credit would be extended either directly to member banks by the reserve banks or indirectly to non-membar banks _through ~ the agency of a member bank.

HARRY L. FIDLER. Harry L. Fidler of Indianapolis, Ind., has been designated by the fed- eral board for vocational education as acting director of the board, pend- ing the approaching _consolidation under the Sweet bill. Mr. Fidler is discharging the duties of director in addition to his duties as a mamber of the board, and replaces Uel W. Lamkin who resigned the director- ship on June 1st. Mr. Fidler has long been connected with the vocational education move- ment, , appointed him to the federal board on March 27th fitting recognition of his services to that movement. For severa! Fidler was a_member of the Indiana state board of education and was one of the fathers of vocational cducation in that state. Previous to that he was identified with union labor. serv. ing fifteen vears as general secretary treasurer of the general committee of adjustment, Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Engineers, for the Penn- sylvania_lines west of Pittsburgh. As a labor official Mr. Fidler was an ardent defender of-vocational ed- ucation in the early days when labor leaders in genesal were bitterly hos- tile. During the 1920 campalgn_Mr. Fid- ler was3 in charge of the labor de- partment’ of the republican national committee, having previously served in a similar capacity with” the In- diana state committee. Mr. Fidler is especially interested in increasing the board schools, since he regards the congestion in the existing schools as the greatest problem now before the board. SAMOAN SECRETARY HOME.

Skirmishes in the Mingo, W. Va coal field between state police and men “armed with . highrpowered rifles,” in which three officials were “shot in the back,” were described be- fore the Senate fnvestigating com- {mittee by J. R. Brockus, captain of tate forces. At least some of the as- [ sailants were members of the United Mine Workers, he d. and denied that the police had acted in a high- handed manner or had destroyed prop- erty of evicted miners.

Brockus said, were con- fined to former service men of proved moral character, preferably men of overseas- service.s said the witness. men in my company charged for misconduct. A total of 273 families are 1 tents in Mingo county, Capt. Brockus testifled, adding that among the tent dwellers were 284 women anli 1,304 children. A canvass by state police, the committee was told, disclosed that not all the men living in teits were striking miners, evicted from com- pany houses. Some of those in the Lick Creel _tent colony, near William- son, the witness sald, were found to ne into the district from Ken- ‘at the instigation of union Cautioned of Danger. Capt. Brockus said that last May he reported to his superiors it would be impossible to maintain order in the Mingo district as long as ““men were permitted to go around with high- powered rifles slung over their shoulders” and guns and ammunition were freely shipped into the field. Police appealed to stores in Wil- liamson, the committee was informed, to stop the sale of rifles and ammuni- tion. but met with little success. Ammunition packed in leather cas was tossed off moving trains despite the vigilance of police, the witness declared. Rifles and the “thousands of rounds” of ammunition have been concealed in houses of mine workers. Capt. Brockus declared, recounting a number of instances where state po- lice and civilians had been fired upon “from ambush.” On one occasion, he said. women were in the party at- tacked. Denles Steel Men ided Lockout. Testimony to the effect that coal operators in the Mingo, W. Va., coal flelds were in no way influenced by the United States Steel Corporation in resisting efforts to unionize their workers was glven yesterday before the Senate subcommittee on education and labor by Ernest L. Bailey. superin- tendent of the Portsmouth-Solvay Coke Company. Senator Kenyon read a statement, purported to have been issued by W. Jett Lauck. consulting economist for the United Mine Workers, in which it was charged that the Steel Corpora- tion was the “gulding hand” behind the effort to crush out ‘“the mine workers' organization.” The state- ment said the Steel Corporation, through its subsidiaries, was the larg- est producer of coal in West Virginia, employing more men than any oper- ator in the region adjacent to Mingo county, and was planning, In_con- junction with the Nerfolk and West- ern railroad, to extend operations in the Mingo fleld. Shots Fired Across River. Mines supervised by Mr. Bailey are across the Tug river from Mingo coun- ty.
