D v * So it has pretty definitely been de- Y CO-ORDINATION OF BUREAUS FACTOR IN REORGANIZATION Abolition of Labor Department and De- ' partment of Agriculture, as Such, Dis- cussed—Groupings Cited. " “Will the Department of Labor be abolished as class distinction and, if 80, will the Department of Agricul- ture be abolished on the same grounds?” This is one of the big questions that have been asked in connection with the work of the joint congressional committee on reor- ganization of the administrative branch of the government. The best answer that can be given in advance of the decision of Presi- dent Harding and his cabinet, who are now working on their recom- mendations to the committee, is to tell the general attitude of those who are engaged in drafting the re- organization program. Reorganiza- tion to be worth anything, and to command the support necessary to make it effective, must be based on a sound principle. It is considered fatal to yield to expediency as against this principle. If it is demonstrated that the in- terest of the general public in labor is a welfare interest, and that wel fare work for the labor group will be of advantage to the whole people of the country. then there are strong reasons for co-ordinating labor ac- tivities of the federal government with the proposed new department of welfare. Questions Decided by Students. It has been decided by the reorgani- #ation students that there must be nol bullding up of labor to be high-hand ed, and to aggrandize labor at the ex- pense of other classes of citizens. The “federal interest, they have decided, must be to make the conditions of Jabor such that good men will be glad to spend their lives in industries, and enable them to properly bring up their children and take their part in organ- ized society. “There is no reason, and no intention to ‘coddle’ labor,” they say, or to hold up any class at the expense of the rest of the people. cided that the aciivities of the present Labor Department, which really have to do with labor from the welfare viewpoint, are to be co-ordinated in a major division of the new welfare de- partment. It is very likely that a con cession, without vielding the prin ciple, will be made to labor by using| the name and making the new de- partment one of welfare and labor. It is admitted that there are many agencies and activities in the present Department of Labor that properly have no place there, and which have been picked up and added from time to time. principally for the purpose of building up would look more important. Immigration Service Cited. One of these foreign functions is the Immigration service. the reorganizers feel. The first contact of the immi- grant coming to our s out, is with the publ So also the naturali whose prime function is education. Both the public health service and th bureau of education are to be made part of the new welfare department, and so it is planned to put immigra. tion and naturalization work into t! new department. they point th service. ation bureau, Some important delezations which | have been in conference with the re izing forces have urged that immigration should be considered from its effect upon the labor mar- ket, but it has been decided that this is only a passing phase. The real questions. the reorga gue, is: How is the addi large group going TUnited States? What kind of citizens will_we have 100 vears from now Are we going to throw. away tho! things that made the United Stat the greatest nation in the world by the infusion of immigrants. or are we going to build up a greater fu- ture citizenship_ by encouraging to come here the best from all lan with right purposes and ambitions Agriculturists ax Group. The quesion as to whether the De- partment of Agriculture should be abolished as building up one large group of citizens is answered in th way by the reorganizers. The pur- pose is not to make a class distinc- tion or to aggrandize the farmers as a big group set apart. The principle behind the Department of Agricul- ture is one of national security—to make certain that this country will continue to be self-sustaining_in its food supply. It has been decided that the federal government must promote agriculture as a great na- tional asset and for national safety. ._It is known positively that Walter F. Brown. chairman of the joint re- organization committee and personal adviser to the President, feels that the one biggest thing that can be done in reorganization is to unite the War and y departments into one new department of national defense, and is ready to fight if needs be to ‘put that change across. There is con- siderable opposition, but it is re- SPECIAL NOTICES.

Drive by Engineering Profession There has been an organized drive by the engineering profession for a new department of engineering or of public works. in which all the engi- neering activities of the federal gov- ernment in_ co-operation with the states will be concentrated. Several definite proposals have been made to Cengress for abolition of the present Department of the Interior. It is now pretty well agreed among the reor- ganizers that there is nothing to be gained by changing the name, so that it is likely there will continue to be an “Interior Department,” but thatj the reorganized department will con- tain exclusively those federal activi- ties having to do with public domain and public works. This means that such existing agencies as the pension bureau, thé patent office, the bureau of education and the bureau of Indian affairs will be divorced from the Interior Depart- ment. Pensions will go into the new welfare department and all the vet erans’ relief work will be concen- trated in the welfare department. The patent office will g0 to Commerce, be- cause it has a very direct and im- portant relation to commerce. In building up the new Commerce Department a number of such busi- ness agencies will be taken from other departments. Considerable discussion has developed with regard to the bu- reau of markets. now in the Depart- ment of Agriculture. It is pretty cer- tain that there will continue to be a bureau of markets in that depart- ment, but the reorganizers say that the line must be drawn so that the bureau of markets in the Department of Agriculture will not duplicate any work that is being done by the field agents of the Department of Com- merce. ‘ Supervision of Radlo. There also has been considerable de- bate as to what department will be intrusted with the federal develop- ment and supervision of radio com- munication. A special interdepart- mental committee bas just d recommendations for the It is known that the attitude of Sec-, retary Hoover, the radio experts of the Navy Department and the radio specialist of the Post Office Depa ment are all agreed that for the b development of radio the field must be left open for private enterprise rather than federai monopoly, as w urged by Secretary Daniels—but with careful federal regulation and super- vision. In the plan of reorganization all per- marent radio installation for, communi cation with foreign courtries 8r wi'h the distant parts of our own counry will be placed in 4 bureau of communications in the Post Office Department. In doing this, however, the rights of the Signal Corps of the Army and of the Navy for communicating with the flect and of other government departments are not being overlooked. The radio_service of {the country in the event of war will prompily be commandeered for military | It is also proposed that priority of sevic> shall be given to certain | department in times of nced, even in ays of peace. Priority for foreign serv. fice would be given to the State andj | Navy departments and priority for do- mestic use to the War and J de- | partments. An illustration of this would ibe when such disturbance of the public i peace occur as recently in West Virginia. At such times the right of way over the wireless installations would automati- cally g5 to the War Department. Urge Central Purchase and Supply. The reorganizers are much interested 1ing and supply agency to handle all the | | staple_supplies nceded in Uncle Sam's | workshop. Representative Wood of In: diana, A member of the House appropri- - ations committee, is fathering a bill for | such a reform, claiming taat it would | | save hundreds of thousands of dollars ! a year besides getting prompter service | and standard supplies. There is every | | irdication that this will be included in | the plan of reorgan ion which the | | President and his cabinet will recom- | mend tc the reorganization committee. | The plar is to attach this new agency | directly to the executive offices, on the | ground that any service acting for all | departments should not belong and be | admunistered by any one department. | ROY H. JONES NAMED. Roy H. Jones of New York City has been ‘appointed a member of the staff | | of the lumber division of the Depart- ment of Commerce, it was announced at the department. During the jwar Mr. Jones had charge of the! i rorthern hardwood emergency bureau in Washington. He has been in the | lumber business all his life.
