Washington, M a I c h {, Postmaster General Burleson announced today that after April 1 the appointments of all postmasters of the first, sec ond and third class would be subject to competitive exami- nations.
 Whether the civil service commission, under which the fourth-class postmasters are now named, will conduct the examinations has not been de termined.
 The Presidents forthcoming order will provide for form of modified classification under which all va cancies, whether caused by resigna- tion, removal or death, will be filled by competitive examination. Those already in the service will continue without examination until the ex-

The next step of the department will be to call upon builders not en- gagged in government work to under take such tasks as they are equipped to carry out. For the most part this will consist of building submarine chasers and possibly some destroyers. An understanding also will be sought to prevent yards doing private work from drawing men from those with navy contracts.
 The companies represented today will furnish Secretary Daniels not later than Monday with schedules of all commercial work in their yards or for which they have contracted Details of the capitali- zation of each concern, it is said, ma terial contracts, plans of plants and yards showing possibility of enlargement and number of employees will be included. kind of additional government work that could be undertaken with an estimate of what might be accomplished in a years time also will be submitted by each builder.
 Secretary Daniels said the list of sub jects to be covered in the statements had been worked out with the intention of supplying all information a prospective purchaser of the plants would require. It will be valuable in determining the wisest way of placing contracts for new ships and would be essential should it prove necessary in the end to take over any establishment.
 STEEL MEN TO COOPERATE
 The department is in correspondence with steel makers and other manufac- turers who supply material for navy ships Similar assurances of cooperation are expected from them. MT. Daniels said he hoped to interfere with commer- cial building just as little as possible, but that nothing would be allowed ito stand in the way of the supplying the navy with ships and munitions as rapidly as is possible"
 Another element of the speeding up programme is the task of securing labor. Samuel Gompers. president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. and a member of the national defense council advisory commission, has called labor conference in this connection.

Opposition in the Senate to Confirming Grayson
 Not Expected to Fight

Washington March 1-Republican op- position to the confirmation of Dr. Cary T. Gray son, President Wilson naval aide. just ienominated as medical director and rear admiral is not expected to develop much strength at the present special Senate session. Senator Weeks, who led the fight in the last session. is said to have concluded that it would be useless to attempt another filibuster as tfe demo- firmaton.
 The Grayson nomina tion is one of the few on the long list to be confirmed likely to cause debate, and if the rules contro- versy is cleared up without an extended fight, the Senate's extraordinary session probably will be short lived

 The resolution is changed only slightly from that virtually agreed ~POAi idSt AiASAt ny tuC COHlcTcnC6 COul- mittee of 10, and which was approved by the Senate rules committee several months ago. The most important change was the addition today by the conferees of the provision that except by unanimous consent amendments will not be in order after the cloture has been obtained. This was done to prevent substitutes coming in at the last moment when there would be little time for their consideration before vote must be en-
 Senator Owen gave notice in the democratic caucus that he expected to address the Senate tomorrow on ma- jority rule in the Senate which he ad- vocated against the two-thirds plan but later he apparently abandoned the idea. Senator Smith of South Caro- lima talked about the possibility of a force bill under republican domina ton, of the Senate if the cloture is put in effect and Senator Smith of Georgia discussed absolute cloture
 The party 'conferees, however. made 1t plain that the two-thirds plan was the best they could hope to get with out prolonged struggle and when the atmosphere cleared the democrats voted unanimous upon 1t.

The nationalists tonight, headed by their leader. John Redmond, were in conference, having withdrawn in body from the House of Commons, and Lloyd George was facing his first em- barrassing situation since he assumed the premiership
 For more than an hour before the nationalists left the House. the pre- nier had faced whirlwind of angry censure from the nationalist quarter. which at times forced him to take his seat because he could not make himself heard. He was called "turncoat' on the home rule question, and one na- tionalist exclaimed: "Hangman Car son! He is only fit to be hangman' not first lord of the admiralty.'
 O'CONNOR STARTS TURMOIL
 The nationalist resolution was intro duced by T. P.

He pleaded that home rule should be put into operation immedi 3 ately for the sake of Ireland and \

the interests of England, the empire and the allies.
 At one point in his address he paid tribute to the President of the United States, saying that President Wilson in his recent speeches and notes had shown that the United States govern ment recognized the rights of small nations and the principle of national ity. He called attention to the valiant service rendered by the Irish troops at the front and asserted that they had enlisted with the understanding that home rule was to be applied to their country. In conclusion he said there were only two ways of remedy-ser- clement or coercion. He favored set clement

The resolution embodying the pro posal will be reported to the Senate tomorrow by Majority Leader Martin, with view to pressing it for prompt adoption.
 Senators LaFoliette and Gronna, re- publicans, who were among the 12 who failed to signed the manifesto approv- ing the armed neutrality bill. did not attend their party caucus How much significance is to be attached to that fact neither republican nor democratic leaders could foretell tonight. all though the democrats had a distinct impression that the appearance of the rule would be the signal for speeches by these two senators on armed neu- trality There were few democrats who had views different from the large majority, but while they may contribute few speeches on the sub ject of changes in the rules, no pro- longed opposition is expected.
 SENTIMENT OVERWHELMING
 In the democratic caucus there were more than 40 senators and with the 30 republicans who voted for the change, this makes about eight more than two-thirds of the Senate. Several senators of both parties are absent from Washington or i'll, so that the proportion of those here for the change is overwhelming.
 Senators Sherman of Illinois and France of Maryland were the two re- publicans who cast the negative votes. Senator Sherman declared the republi- cans would be placed in the position of acceding7 to it because of the de- mand by President Wilson in his public statement on the defeat of the neu- trality bill, and in his conference to- day with democratic members of the conference committee. Senator France said he opposed any kind of cloture rule. The amendment te the rules ap- proved by the caucuses Nrovides:
 TEXT OF AMENDMENT
