Davis Asks More Funds
For Labor Cancellation
Rail Situation Not Mentioned.
but Recognized as One That
Nav Need Attention
From The l'ribune's Woshinoton gu

From The Tribunes Wdshinaton Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Secretary
Of Labor Davis visited the Capitol this
afternoon and conferred with Senators
Curtis and Watson about an addi-
tional appropriation of $500, 900 for the
Cancellation division of his department.
Secretary Davis told the Senators that
the funds for this purpose were run
ming low and that in view of the nu-
merous controversies in the industrial
field it was important that sufficient
funds be allowed. He was asked TO
trim his estimates to the lowest prac-
ticable figure and take them up with
the Appropriation Committee and espe-
cially with Senator Warren, chairman
of that committee, as soon as he re-
turns to Washington.
Secretary Davis did not name the
threatening situation in the railway
field as one of the reasons why funds
should be allowed the conciliation divi-
sion, but it is recognized that this ia
one of the matters to which it may have
to give attention. In case conditions
grow worse with respect to the threat
ened rail strike, Secretary Davis will
endeavor to effect settlement.
The Secretary told the Senators that
the conciliation work of his department
had become of large practical import
ance. He said the conciliation division
had settled 800 controversies of diff
ferent varieties since the beginning Of
this administration.

New Federal Bureaus Planned
In Sweeping Reorganization

believed here in political circles that
should such ministry be created
Secretary of the Navy Denby would be
made it's head, that Secretary of tho
Treasury Mellon would resign and that
Secretary of War Weeks would finally
be made Secretary of the Treasury, the
portfolio he has always wanted.
Another contemplated change in
wolves transferring the Coast Guard
from the Treasury to the Navy Depart
ment. The Coast Guard WAS established
in 1890, and is rich in tradition and
strong in its desire to remain allied
with the Treasury Department.
Mr.. Brown will recommend also the
centralizing under the Department Of
Justice of all Secret Service and in
vcstigating societies Of the govern
ment.
These changes will be thoroughly
discussed at the Cabinet meeting next
week. When the Cabinet finishes work
on the recommendation they will event
ually reach Congress. Senator'S and
representatives say that all manner of
pressure will be brought to bear to
prevent a number of the proposed
changes going through, with the result
that months will be consumed in bat
ting over them and providing appro-
priations for new activities like the
welfare bureau
New-York tribune., 1921-09-20

From The Tribune's Washington BAreGm
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.--Sweeping
reorganization Of government depart
ments and the creation of new branches
will be included in the report of the
Reorganization Commission to be sub
mitted next week to the President and
the members of the Cabinet, it was
learned to-day.
Walter F. Brown, chairman and ex-
ecutive representative on the commit
tee, discussed with the President to-
day details of proposed reorganiza-
tions. The most outstanding is the plan
to add department of welfare to the
Department of Labor.
Mr.. Brown explained that many func-
tions of the Labor Department consist
of welfare work and that by adding
this department it would In reality
broaden the scope of the Labor Secre-
tary's activities. 1t is understood that
the plan has the approval of Secretary
of Labor Davis.
Another proposed change that will be
sure to provoke debate is the plan for
consolidating the activities of the armv
and navy under department of do
Tense. Mr.. Brown is known personally
to favor such a plan, but opponents de-
clare that it is not feasible, and there is
no hope for it to become reality. 1t in

Willard Believes Rail
Strike Will Be Averted

Daniel Willard, president of the Bal
tlmore & Ohio Railroad, believes that
the differences between the railway
shopmen and the roads will be adjusted
IN such q way as TO avoid general
strike. Shopmen belonging to the six
federated shop craft unions have voted
to strike against the general wage re-
duction of July I, 1921, but have an
nounced they will defer action until
the prom ulgation of working rules row
pending before the United States Rail
road Labor Board.
Mr.. Willard, who was in New York
yesterday, said the great majority Of
the railroad workers were highly intel
llgent men and realized the fact that
wages must come down when that is
justified by cut in living costs.
No doubt we can come to some sat
isfactory adjustment of our differ
ences," he added. "Of the 10000 en-
ployees on the lines of the Baltlm. re
& Ohio 10000 have been with the
company for twenty years. They are
steady and dependable workers and
look at the company's problems much
in the same manner as the manage
ment."
Mr.. Willard pointed out that B. &
O. employees had $11,O00,00O on deposit
with the company's building and loan
organization, which lends money to
aid the workers in building homes for
themselves.

Labor Board Will Hear
p. II. R. Protest ON Ruling
Evidence in Support of Roads
Plan of Election Limited
10 Three Subjects

CHICAGO, Sept. 1a.-The Penrsyl-
vania Railroad to-day was granted per-
mission by the United States Railroad
Labor Board to appear before it, on
September 26, in support of its plea
that the boards order that new cleo
tion of employee representatives. in the
negotiations over working conditions be
held should be annulled. The board. in
the ruling, gave the road permission to
present evidence on three subjects,
namely:
AS to what employees not in actual
service of the carrier may vote in the
election OF the employees representa-
tive to conduct negotiations with the
road over rules and working conditions.
AS to how the representative capac-
ity of spokesmen of unorganized en-
nIoveas shall be ascertaired. w
On the adoption or ratification OF its
shop craft rules by representatives OF
said crafts fairly elected by a ma
jority of employees of that class.
The Pennsylvania request of August
"a specifically asked four things--that
the board vucate it's decision of July
2s directing the Pennsylvania to confer
with union officers and hold new cleo
tion for employee representatives to
negotiate working rules; that the board
find, in pursuance of the Transports
tion act. that the carrier has the legal
right to establish rules, either with
or without comforting with its en-
ployees; that the board ratify agree
ments already made between the Penn
sylvania and its employees, and that an
oral hearing be granted TO offer testi-
mony in support of assertions made in
the roads petition.
In granting the last point the board
decided to confne the hearing to the
three questions above

the ku-Klux Klan was taken sinful
taneously to-day by the City Council
and the Baptist Minister'S Conference
The council unanimously adopted
resolution pledging its aid in checking
the further growth Of the organization

firms equality in citizenship to adher-
ents of all faiths and brands any re-

zation of committees to fight the Klan.
A council chairman will be appointed

Supreme Court to-day to be az essen

Miners Prepared
To Oppose Amy Cut
In Wage Schedule
On Convention Eve They
Wonder if Howat's Pres
ence Is Going to Bring
Challenges to Lewis Rule

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. H. - Discus
sions of wage scales were inter
spersed with gossip regarding internal
affairs Of the organization as delegates
from the coal fields of the United
States and Canada gathered tonight
for the opening of the biennial con-
vention Of the United Mine Workers Of
America. The convention starts to-
morrow morning.
Nearly all the delegates reached
indianapolis to-day and began informal
conversations regarding the wage de-
mands which the miners of the bitumi-
nous and anthracite fields will submit
to the operators to replace the present
agreement, which expires March 81
next. Considerable interest was at
tached to the expression which John
l.. Lewis, president of the miners,
would make in regard to wage demands
in his opening address tomorrow. Mr..
Lewis has declared unalterable opposi-
ton to any wage reductions.
Arrival of Alexander Howat, prcsi-
dent of the Kansas district of the
miners organization, was expected to
precipitate some discussion regarding
Mr.. Lewis's administration. Howat is
credited by officials of the international
union with being the leader of radicals
who have called strikes in violation of
agreements with the operators. Howat
will be in indianapolis omorrow, his
friends say.
