Army to Denote
Officers Holding
Emergency Rank
Baker Issues Order Aiming
to Reduce Those Who Still
Hold Temporary Grades
to an Absolute Minimum
New York Tribune
W6shi1t0t Bureau

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Efforts to
equalize rank in the army were begun
to-day by Secretary Of War Baker
IN general order issued by Chief Of
Staff March to all commands. The
order directs that reports be immcdi-
ately furnished to the War Department
as to the necessity for holding in tenn
porary rank any officer who has not al
ready been denoted to his pre-war
sta tus.
Secretary Bakers order is direct
outgrowth of the agitation of officers
who served with distinction and valor
on the battlefields of France against
the War Departments persistent policy
of Immediately reducing them IN their
return to this country, while permit
ting officers detailed in the United
States to continue their emergency or
war rank.
that this arbitrary policy was discrim-
inatory and destroyed the morale of
the commissioned personnel
Announcing the new policy, the War
Department made public the following
from the office of the chief of staff:
"The Secretary of War directs in
formation be given to all concerned
that they are to submit report show
ing status of all regular and emergency
OiICefS on Quly at Lne various service
schools, on duty as military instructors
at schools and colleges and in the Of
fees of the r. o. T. C. district inspec-
tors, and on duty as military attaches
and assistants to military attaches.
'The Secretary wishes the discharge
of emergency officers and the demotion
of regular officers in all cases where
the interests of the service will permit,
and wishes changes in organization
made where practicable, so that the
number of emergency officers and regu-
lar army officers holding emergency
rank may be reduced to an absolute
minimum.
"In the case of any regular army
officer in command whose retention
Of his emergency rank appears to be
demanded by the interests of the
service, commanding officers are au-
thorized to submit the reason why
such retention is necessary. Txey
are expected to show that changes in
organization cannot obviate the ne
cessity for retaining this officer in his
emergency rank"
Secretary Baker to-day asked Con-
gress to authorize until July l, an
army Of 2T5.000, so as to enable the
War Department temporarily to main
tain American troops in Germany and
Siberia

Laws to Prevent
Railroad Strikes
National Conference Oppos-
es Many Features of Cum
minis Bill; Urges Complete
State Control Over Rates

CHICAGO, Jan. 8.-ClifFord Thorne,
chairman of the legislative committee
of the National Shippers Conference,
made public to-day memorial to
Congress authorized by the conference
on the railroad problem, which was
held here December 80 by shippers
representing all sections of the coun-
try.
This memorial, addressed to Senator
Cummins and other members of the
Congressional Joint Committee, ex-
presses opposition to many Of the pro-
visions of the Cummins bill, and asks
quick action in restoring the trans
portation system to private ownership
with anti-strike provisions.
I'VE are opposed to the creation Of
a transportation board provisos pro-
posed by the Cummins bill" it's states.
1--WE oppose any form of ornament
guaranty Of returns, as provided in the
Cummins bill or otherwise. But we
do not object to continuation of the
standard return provided in the rail-
road control law approved March 21,
1913, for such a reasonable time as
may be found necessary during the
present transition period"
AHc inciuUIlAl ALSO opposes apprO-
priation by the government of surplus
railroad earnings, and any limitations
on earnings. Regarding governmental
control it continues:
"We believe in retaining the unim-
paired authority of the states over the
subject Of rates and service applicable
to state traffic. as the same existed
prior to Federal control.
1--WE are in favor of the passage of
legislation which will provide for the
return of the railroads to their owners
as quickly as possible, and which will
permit operation by said owners. The
public being wholly dependent upon
the daily, uninterrupted. continuous
operation OF our common carriers, we
are in favor of the enactment Of legis-
lation that will cffectuallv prevent the
catastrophe that would follow 4 general
railroad strike, and which legislation
will at the same time fully recognize
the just rights of the laborer and all
other parties in interest"
Further it is stated:
We favor legislation which will
direct the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to investigate the rail and
water transportation facilities of the
United States, with the view of making
such recommendation to Congress as
may be deemed advisable for the fur
ther development or unification of the
same"

At Baxter and Leonard streets, man

Becker kept on, however, and at
Baxter and Franklin streets Detective
