CIVILIANS ARE PROBING
THE UNITED STATES NAVY,
Three Engineers VIII Suggest More

The United States navy is in the
hands Of three Philadelphia civilians
after April l for an indefinite period.
These three men are to go through the
navy department in every detail and
place its administration ON a more eff
Client and economic basis.
Charles Day of Dodge & Day, Har-
rington Emerson of the Emerson En-
cheering company and H. L. CAN'T,
three of the leading efficiency engineers
of the United States, are the men.
The investigation Of the manner in
which the navy is being conducted, of
the work done in navy yards and the
general system of operation is the out
come of the declaration of Attorney
Brandeis, one Of the chief counsel rep
resenting the shippers during the re-
cent railroad rate hearings. He de-
clared then that there is no need of
an increase in rates, saying that any
railroad could make its system pay
with more efficient and economical
management.
This statement aroused the govern
ment, and Immediately steps were TAX
en- to investigate the navy and, If pos
sible, place it on more efficient work.

the Philadelphians for the work be-
cause of the character of their expert

big battleships and see how they are
manipulated They will learn how the
men fire the engines and try to note
waste and inefticiency. Later they
will return to the navy yards and be-
gin their work Of investigating there.
Each of the three men will have so
many yards to investigate and report
upon, and in every detail they will
work separately.
