PLAN TO FORCE
MILITARY POLICY
Military Experts May Attempt
to Prevent Complete De-
mobilization of Army.

WASHINGTON, July 3. - The
question of a permanent military
policy probably will be forced be-
fore the present session of congress
by Secretary Bakers order reduc-
ing the army to $4,000 of1cers and
men by September 80. Military ex-
perts here believe only speedy pas
sage of the army reorganization bill
will prevent rehabilitation of the
military establishment.
The recent army bill makes man
datory the continuance Of the four
new staff corps: Chemical warfare
motor transport. tank. and air ser
vice-nOne of which was provided
for in the national defense act. Off
GERS and men must be drawn from
the line and from the regular staff
personnel 10 provide the necessary
overhead for these branches.
A return 10 the status OF 1905"
was the prediction OF one officer. In
that year companies could muster
only 50 men and regiments were
frequently under the charge of one
major and one captain.
Already at Work.
The general staff is already at
work on some program which will
come within authorized expendi-
lures and yet permit the retention
of a skeleton esta blishment which
may be expanded for war
Plans for the organization OF the
air service and tank corps looking
TO further progress will have 10 go
by the board, it was conceded. Ser
vices Will be kept active through a
headquarters organization with re-
pair men and guards at the various
depots
Primary Troop Needs.
Primary troop requirements
which must be met include
Garrisons for the Philippines.
Hawaii and the Panama canal con-
servatively figured at $4,000 men; a
guard for the southern border now
maintained at $4,000; a force OF s.
600 on the Rhine. and. for the time
being at least. 5000 for Siberia.
These total $4,000 officers and
men and do not take into considera-
tion the hundreds OF small garrisons
needed az home army posts. which
is estimated at 10000 with a furth-
er addition for the coast defense.
War department plans approved
as late as March provided SIS. 600 Of
ficers and men for the coast de-
lenses.
The 5000 temporary officers who
have applied for permanent con-
missions in the regular army must
be discharged forthwith because OF

RETIRED FIRE CHIEF
SUES FOR PENSION
John J. MeskilI Asks $500 and
Interest From Beneficial
Association
CLAIMS PAYMENTS STOPPED

Representing John J. Meskill, a for
mcr battalion chief in the fire depart
ment, Joseph NJ. Smith has brought
suit against the Firemcn's Pension
Fund of Philadelphia. a corporation. to
recover $500 and interest alleged to be
due as benefits under Mcskill's mem
bership in the association.
On December /. 1917. after twenty
years active service in the fire depart
ment of the city. Meskill went on the
retired list. Under his certificate of
membership Mr.. Smith contends that
the plaintiff was entitled to receive
from tho fund in monthly payments
one half Of the yearly salary he was
getting when hc retired
For two years prior to the time of
his retirement Mcskil drew annual sal
ary Of $1,000 and was entitled to get
from the pension fund monthly benefits
of SS3.33. The benefits were paid by
the fund from December. 1917. up to
and including the month of January
of this year. when. according to the
lawyer, the corporation refused to CON
tinue them, although Meskill was in
good standing and had done nothing
to forfeit his rights in the pension fund.
Claim is therefore made for the
monthly benefits withheld together with
interest from the time each fell due
and was payable.

SHIP MEN ASK WILSON
TO PROBE HIGH RENT
Resolution Adopted by Cramps
Workers Calls for lnvestiga-
ton Of Housing Conditions
JOIN TENANT ASSOCIATION

Five thousand workers, employed at
Cramps Shipyard, gathered around q
speakers stand at noon today and
unanimously adopted resolutions cen
suring profiteering real estate men and
landlords and calling upon President
Wilson and Governor Sproul to investi-
gate.
Hugh Kenney, 1925 York road, one
of the sbipyard workers, made an ad-
dress. His comrades cheered him.
Former State Senator Richard Farley
also spoke. He denounced profiteering
real estate agents and landlords, desig
mating them as "pikers."
William Andrews, chairman of the
Kensington Tenants Association, urged
upon the shipyard workers not to stand
for imposition of abnormal rents.
"Stand upon your rights as American
citizens" he said.
Here Is Resolution
The resolution adopted follows in
part:
Whereas, The landlords and real
estate brokers of the city have taken
advantage of the fact that building
operations were at a standstill during
the war, thus creating a serious short
age of dwellings on account of the
great influx of labor to the .shipyards
and other war industries in and around
Philadelphia and Of the government S
slogan of Own Your Own Home, and
have inflated values to such an extent
that it has become impossible for the
working man to buy home; and
Whereas, These realty dealers have
also increased rents to prohibitive fig
ures in order to force tenants to move
in order that they may speculate
further to their advantage by virtue OF
vacant dwellings; and
Whereas, These realty dealers have
stopped to intimidation, with the help
of unscrupulous constablcs, and have
threatened to eject. every tenant from
his home in Philadelphia who refuses
to meet their exorbitant demands for
rent, and by this means. while pntri-
otic. liberty loving workingmen are at
their places of employment, have driven
many wives and mothers to beds of sick
ness through worry over their right to
exist in a world that has been made safe
for democracy; and
"Whereas, These realty dealers. by
virtue of a system, which to all intents
and purposes, appears to be a mutual
understanding, have refused to rent
properties to tenants of another land
lord, thereby placing tenants in the po-
sition of being compelled to nay cxor-
bitant rentals, or being forced into the
street. in violation of all moral and legal
rights supposed to be possessed by such
tenants:
Resolved. That we. the employees of
Cramps Shipyard. indorse the work OF
the Tenants Protective Association of
Philadelphia. and that we join with
them in requesting the President of the
United States, the Governor of the state
of PENNSYLVANIA and the Mayor of the
city of Philadelphia. with all the power
at their command, to investigate housing
conditions

IN HOUSE PROMISED
War Departments Course Will
Be Attacked and De-
Tended
PARTY LINES DRAWN
BY the Associated Press

Washington, July 20.-House Repub-
licans and Democrats today lined up
for bitter debate on the attitude of the
War Department in selling its surplus
food stocks, valued mt $120 900, 900. A
resolution requesting Secretary Baker
to adopt policy of immediate sale of
the products direct to the consumers

In its report recommending adoption
of the resolution. the Republican ma
jority of the House war investigating
committee charged Secretary Baker with
lolding the food from the public to
benefit private interests. A minority
report submitted today by the Demo
Gratis on the committee included a state
ment of the secretary saying the policy
''has been and is to seel in the best
markets, and as speedily as possible. ="
Mr.. Baker also said he had been Civ
ing his personal attention to "devising
ways to place the surplus foods in the
hands of consumers at the lowest pos i
sible price in order to relieve. even If
but temporarily, the high cost of liv-
ing"
The report of the Democrats declared
the majority report censuring the War
Department and Secretary Baker was
"railroaded INTO the House with pre-
cipitant haste" and urged that selling
organization be set up to aid in the
distribution of the food to consumers.
Unless the House shows Il willing
ness to co operate in this way said
