WOULD GIVE BACK PAY T0 BUREAU WORKERS Caraway Will Introduce Bill to Compensate Those Discharged at Plant. SLOW TO REGAIN OLD JOBS Senator Wants New Men to Leave With Director Hill. A bill to pay the salary losses of the twenty-eight employes of the bu- reau of engraving and printing dis- missed by executive order in April, 1922, will be introduced early next week by Senator Caraway of Ar- kansas. Senator Caraway explained that the bill would provide for the payment to the employes of the difference be- tween the amount of money they may have received in private employrhent and the amount of money which they would have received had they re- mained in the bureau of engraving and printing. Any employes who lost time necessarily would receive under such a bill full pay for that time. These employes, it has n - an- nounced, are to be given back their old places or pl of similar importance in the bureau. Senator Caraway ex- pressed some impatlence today at the delay in reinstating these former em- ployes and also in the letting out of several of the employes who were given places of importance after the twenty- eight had been discharged by executive order. He said that he had been as- sured that some of these officials were to be let out in addition to Director Louis A. Hill, whose resignation i now in the hands of Secretary Mellon. ——— Realizing that their town is about to be absorbed by Venice, 500 women of Murano, Italy, have organized a “battalion of death,” to fight annexa- Special Sale—Saturday Only Men’s, Boys’ and Children’s SOLID LEATHER SHOES Wonderful Values at or Browh be: cols.

The new plan fathered by Senator Joges of the state of Washington, chairman of the Senate committee on commeroe, tly in line with’ many eniScommendations made to President Coolidge by Chairman Far- ley last November. Mr. Farley did not sollcit the job of chairmgn. He was urged to take it by Mr. Harding. He proposed a plan for the operation of the fleet through subsidiary ocor- rations. This was declared by At- orney General Daugherty to be in- consistent with the present law, and the scheme. was dropped. Buf the prineiple of it has been retained.

Saves Long Conferences. The retiring chairman goes out with @ _feeling, therefore, of having con- tributed “something to the develop- ment of a solution. But the main Yictory {s that which makes of the fleet corporation a business -institu- tion, divorced from the political ini fluences that hover about the Ship- ping freed ‘from the hamper- ing’ conferences and prolonged -con- troversies in which a board ipvaria- bly becomes absorbed, and Is able now to function on a parity with the privately owned and privately man- aged steamship companies of foreign countries—the main competitors of the American merchant marine. The United States Shipping Board will deal in the ¢nd with abstract questions, the Emergency Fleet Cor- poration will deal with operation and management of the government fleet in which biilions have becn invested and in which theexpense of upkeep to the taxpayer is now about fifty million dollars a year. The plan may fall as have the others, but it gives promise of etarting in the right di- rection—at least it seems to have unanimous support here. (Copyright, 1924.) COOLIDGE ORDERS CHANGE. By the Associated Fress. President Coolldge has decided upon tranafer of operating control over tHe government-owned tonnage from the Bhipping Board to the nergency Fleet Corporation as one of the prin- cipal points of his new merchant ma- rine policy. No legislation is nee it is thought, to bring ut change. The Shipping Board, under the plan, will become to a large extent a regu latory and advisory agency, and igh C. Palmer, former chief of the y Department's bureau of navig tion, who has been regarded as the probable successor of Edward P. Far- ley of Chicago 'as chairman of the board, has been selected, instead, to become president of the Fleet Corpo- ration. It {s purposed to have the oorporation, with a staff of high-sal- aried men, manage the ships and property in the same manner that any other corporation would conduct a similar busine: The President's decision was az nounced last night by Chairman Jon of the Senate commerce committe after a White House conference par- ticipated in by members of the Ship- ping Board, = Senator Fietcher of| Florida, ranking democrat of the commerce committee, and Representa- the Merchant Marine man, and Representative Edmonds of Pennsylvanis, ~ranking republican member of the House merchant ma- rine committee, Mr. Jones, who suggested divorce- ment of the fleet. operation trom tl Shipping Board's dutles in & list of recommendations ‘dealing Wwith the merchant marine he submitted re- cently to the President, expressed his personal opinion that the new chair- man of the board would be selected from its present membership after the retirement of Mr. Farley. The middle-westerner to be chosen to fill rley's place, it is understood, will serve merely as a member. Palmer War Veteran. The selection of Mr. Palmer follows a series of conferences between thi President and the former Navy reau chief. Mr. Coolidge, after con- sidering the whole matter in the light of the plan to place operation of the fleot under the Emergency Fleet Corporation, s understood to have decided that the most useful gervice could be performed by Mr. Palmer as president of the Fleet Co poration. Mr. Palmer, who resigned from thel Navy soon after the conclusion of the “world war, during which he served with the rank of admiral, has sinoe fast April been the Shipping Board representative in Brazil. He recontly returned to Washington, and had been slated to sall Saturda: for London to become the Shipping Board representative in Furope. He is ‘a native of Missouri. & graduate of the United States Naval Academy, and has had extensive experience in shipping matters. Other Tssues, Passed Over. Other proposals recently submitted by Chairman Jones providing for e: tension 'of the coastwise shipping laws to the Philippines. greater co- ordination between rail and ocean shipping and adoption of a tonnage replacement program. were taken up in detail at last night's conference and remain to be worked out late o question of extension of the e ports from the War Department and Shipping Board as to the adequaoy of American tonnage to handle the Phillppine trade. The decision to divorce fleet opera- tion from the Shipping Board and place it under the Emergency Flest Corporation is the first step taken by t President in his endeavor to for- definite merchant marine airman Jones In his rec- to the President assert- ed that much fault had been found with the management of the govern- ment-owned ships by the Shipping d and urged that the powers, duties and properties Involved lodged with one man or some organ- ization headed by one man.
