say that this man or that man has
been strongly recommended. He has
conferred in the morning and golfed
in the afternoon and meanwhile
watched the reaction OF the various
names proposed.
Today Mr.. Harding had appoint
ments scheduled with Alfred IL. s NTH,
president OF the New York Central
Railroad; Col. Arthur Woods. former
head of the New York police depart
ment; T. c. O'Connor, president of the
Longshoremen's Union, and George
Sylvester Vereck. former head OF the
German-American alliance.
1t is understood that Smith took
up with the President-elect the fnan-
cial condition OF the railroads and
stressed the need for Congress imme-
diately voting them the Government
guaranty funds. This bill making
available these funds had struck a
snag in Congress and the railroads
are insistently urging action.
Colonel Woods came to st. Angus
tine at Mr. Harding's request. II is
understood He has been suggested
as possible Assistant Secretary of
War. He filled a similar position dur
ing the war and has been strongly
recommended to reassume those
duties in the new Administration.

THREE CABINET.
JOBS IN DARK
Navy, Commerce, and Labor
Portfolios Remain Doubtful in
Harding's Consideration.
BY GEORGE X. HOLMES,
International News Service.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Feb. 10
The conferences In progress this
week between President-elect Hard
Ing and Republican party managers
here constitute the final wedding out
process In the Cabinet garden.
While II Is now virtually certain
that there will be no announcement
OF the new Cabinet until March 8, and
quite possibly not until March 4, the
Presfdent-elect hopes within another
week to have matters so adjusted
that he could make public his selec-
lions IL such a course was deemed
expedient. There is no indication
however, that such a course VIII be
considered advisable.
AS matters stand today those about
the President-elect believe that II he
were confronted with the task OF
naming Immediately the members OF
his official family he would name
Charles Evans Hughes to he Secre-
tary of State, Harry M. Daugherty to
be Attorney General, VIII II. Hays to
be Postmaster General, Andrew Mel
lon to be Secretary of the Treasury.
John w. Weeks to be Secretary OF
War. Henry c. Wallace to be Secre-
tary Of Agriculture, and Sena,or AL
bert b. Fall to be Secretary of the
Interior.
And there they stop. The three re-
naming posts-Navy, Commerce and
Labor-are still very much up in the
air. according to those about the new
President.
Governor Frank o. Lowden OF I'LL
nois may be the new Secretary of the
Navy, John Hays Hammond may be
the new Secretary of Commerce, and
James Duncan or James J. Davis
may fll the labor portfolio. but there
fs little to indicate that the President
elect has made any definite decisions
regarding them.

concerned. he has INDUCED in prac-
tically no Cabinet talk other than to

US. UNABLE TOPAY
SHIPPING BOARD
Members Serving Without Com
pensation and Confirmation
Due to Conflicting Laws.

Conflicting laws and lack of pro-
vision by the law for the payment
of salaries to members of the United
States Shipping Board has placed the
status of the present commission in
question. Efforts to ascertain the
possible position of the present mem
bers after March 4 are being made by
the members themselves it was learned
today.
The board was appointed to take
the place Of a former operating board,
Of which there were but two members,
Chairman Benson and Commissioner
Donald. also appointed to serve on
the new board. In the Merchant
Marine act, creating the new board
no provision was made for the pay
Of the members.
The old board was serving until
the entire new board takes office"
The Comptroller of the Treasury has
decided that the old board Is out of
existence and the new board Is operat-
ing by Presidential appointment and
that the pay of the two members of
the old board must not continue. The
new board cannot collect pay for two
reasons; one because no provision
was made for their payment and an
other that they have not been con-
firmed by the Senate.
There Is a law dating back in the
eighties which says no person may
work for the Government without
compensation 81. The law was the
prime reason for the dollar a year
man" during the war. For the pres
ent Shipping Board to serve without
pay would be illegal under the one
law and under the present law there
is no provision for their pay
Another question has been advanced
which would throw a doubt on the
legality Of the new board. 1t is con-
tended by some that the new board
was not provided for by Congress
because Of the failure of Congress to
appropriate to pay salaries. This
contention was made when the War
Department enlisted more men than
Congress appropriated for.
