SENATE VOTES
TO REDUCE ARMY
DECISIVE MAJORITY FAvORS CUT
IN SPITE OF PERSHING'S
RECOMMENDATION
SET 10000 MAXIMUM
VOTE TAKEN AFTER GEN. PER-
SHlNG AND SECRETARY BAKER
PROTEST DECREASE.
Western Newspaper Union News service.)

Washington, Jan. 15.-By Il decisive
majority the Senate voted in favor of
reducing the regular army to 10000
men. II adopted as an amendment In
the resolution proposing To stop recruit
ing until the army Is cut to 10000, "A
proposal by Senator LenrOot, Itepub-
lean, Wisconsin, that the permanent
figure be 10000.
Should Senator Phelan fail in his
endeavor TO bring about reconsidera-
ton the resolution will go TO the
House.
Chairman Wadsworth of the mill
tary affairs committee did not ask for
il roll call ON the resolution, because
the Senate n few minutes before, by "a
vote of "a To -, adopted n motion of
Senator Lenroot, Republican, of Wis
consin, fixing the army's maximum
limit at 10000, thereby rejecting the
committees proposal To make the fig
ure l75,OO0.
This vote was taken, although Gen
eral Pershing and Secretary Baker, at
an 'AN'hliNt N'NHioh Nv ~ iiiliiais
affairs committee just before the con-
vening of the Senate, objected to any
serious cut in the size of the army.
General Pershing suggested 100000 rs
the minimum limit.
Senator New, Republican, Of Indi-
ana, member of the military affairs
committee, who introduced the orig
inal reduction resolution. declared
that be did not consider the 10000
limit either eNpedlent or safe" while
Chairman Wadsworth expressed OPP
position To what is n very drastic
reduction of our military establish
ment."
Senator, Dial, Democrat, Of South
Carolina, asked If the number Of Of
ficers was affected, and the chairman
responded that the only way To dis
charge officers is by death or court
martial for d%ishonorable conduct or
bad debts"
Several amendments regulating the
application of the reduction were
adopted, the most important of which
would require the War Department
to maintain all services on an equal
equal to 53h per cent Of the
total strength in each branch contem-
plated by existing army r~eorganiza-
ton statutes. Another would author
ize the discharge of any enlisted man
upon his application. IL approved by
the secretary Of war. Committee es-
were given the Senate that
the present size Of the army, about
213,O00 men. would be reduced under
the resolution by enlistment expira-
ton to 10000 by next December.

MOVEMENT TO
DOWN WASTE
INDUSTRIAL WASTE Is SUBJECT
BEFORE AMERICAN ENeI.
NEERiNG COUNCIL.
STRIKES CAUSE LOSS
CONSERVATION OF LABOR is BIG
QUESTION FACING WORLD
TODAY.
Western Newspaper Union News serice.)

New York, Jan. IA nationwide
movement TO labor and stop
industrial waste has been started by
Herbert Hoover and his assistants In
the American Engineering Council Of
the Federated American Engineering
Societies. A committee on the elimi-
nation of waste in industry has been
formed and will work with labor or
CARNATIONS, chambers of commerce
and other organizations to bring about
working conditions and to promote
harmonious relations between en-
plOyer and employees.
To offset the loss to the world of
millions of men through the ravages
of war is the task of the Industrial
engineer. says a statement issued by
l.. W. Wallace of Baltimore, vice chair
man of this committee, called by Mr..
Hoover one of the most important in
struments through which the engineers
of America will carry out a far-reach-
ing program of public service.
This loss does not affect the pres
ent, but future for generations to come
will realize the loss of these men and
their potential prosperity" the indus
trial engineer must devise said Mr..
Wallace. "TO offset this loss, the in
dustrial engineer must devise new
plans, new methods and new equip
ment.
$40 offset this loss, the engineer
must give consideration to devising
means of using that large army OF
industrial handicaps, men and women,
who, through accident or through mis-
carriage of the laws of nature, are lack
ing in some essential faculty of sense.
A close analysis of the job of work
to be done In modern industry will
disclose that in the modern industrial
plant there is an opportunity for men
and with every sort of handi-
cap imaginable, to do successfully
piece of work. Ii is the duty and
responsibility of the engineer to re.
lieve industry and society of such tx
pense and loss, by making il possible
for men, however handicapped, to find
useful employment.
THE strike Is n very large source
Of waste of human labor. Millions, j
do not know how many millions OF
hours of labor, are lost each year
through strikes. All of this loss could
be conserved If the strike could be
entirely eliminated, but we do not
that this will ever come to
pass.
an recent weeks we have heard
much about the efficacy of industrial
democracy, of shop committees, OF
Senate and House plans, of collective
bargaining, and of panaceas for all
labor problems. During the same Pc
Rod we have had striking examples
IF the inadequacy of all these plans.
Industrial democracy is a misnOmer
unless fairly and honestly applied.
Collective bargaining is a great danger
II wrongly applied and is used as an
instrument of autocratic power"
