MISSING LAW BASIS
OF REORGANIZATION
Lost in White House, but 1t
Will ReUoIutionizc Systems.

Special Despatch to TIE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau
Washington, ID. c., Jan. 1.
For the first time within the memory
of White House attaches a bill has been
permitted to become a law without the
Presidents signature because 1t was
lost in the Executive Offices. What is
more, 1t is a measure vitality affecting
the administrative branches. for it is
the Smoot-Reavis resolution providing
for REORGANIZATION of the Government
departments.
The last seeen of the bill was when
it was placed on the Presidents desk
soon after its receipt from the Senate
December H. Secretary Tumulty evil
IDENTIFY had made a separate note of II,
for as time drew near for action within
the ten days exclusive of Sundays, per-
mitted by the Constitution, the President
called for the resolution. A hurried but
thorough search failed to disclose the
missing bill, nor has ii been found since
Because of this unusual mixup the
utter failure to find any trace of the
document and the fact that 1t is now
law on account of the lapse Of time
II will be necessary for the President
to call on the Secretary Of the Senate
to have the resolution reengrossed and
reenrolled so that 1t may be sent to the
State Department to be written upon
the statute books and the original
placed in the Government archives.
Discovery Of the loss of the Smoot-
Reavis resolution followed closely the
unusual happenings In connection with
the signing of the mines assessment
bill. That bill was signed just in time
to save many Western miners from los
ing their claims.
The Smoot- Reavis resolution contem-
plates complete reorganization Of the
administrative branch of the Govern
ment and proposes elimination of count
less Implications of work and authority
now admittedly existing in the loosely
organized Federal structure which has
not been systematized. according to au-
thorities. since the days OF Alexander
Hamilton. Proponents of the measure
say 1t will result in a great increase of
efficiency and do away with many USE
less bureaus and employees.
Urged in BEHALF Of the bill is the state
ment credited to former Senator Aldrich
OR. ID many years ago, when he said
IL he were only permitted to organize
the Federal Government and administer
1t on a businessli<e basis he could save
the taxpayers s1,000.00O a day. Since
that time the expenses of government
have increased many fold.
The joint Congress committee author
lied in the resolution will organize at
once and start the Investigations within
the departments as soon as possible. 1t
Is taken for granted that Senator Smoot
Will be chairman of the committee and
Speaker Glllett has indicated that from
the. House side Representatives Reavis
(Okla.), Temple CPa), Republicans, and
Moore (va). Democrat, will be chosen
for the reorganization work.

bers of the American Legion. outside OF
a Jew. are like the members of other or
ganizations; they don't know the real
purpose for which an organization is
formed. New organizations especially
find 1t difficult 10 restrain their MEM
bers from doing those things which are a
menace not only to them but to all the
people
II have been helpful in way in ac-
auainting the members of trade unions
with the real aims and Objects of the
American Legion. On several occasions
resolutions that have been presented in
meetings of labor organizations have
been laid on the table or defeated because
of the information they have received
through me in relation to the work OF
the American Legion. Many of your
members do not understand the trade
union movement and have been misled
as TO the work OF the American Fedora
ton OF Labor. and II is my belief that II
they knew the real object of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor as outlined at
the 1910 convention it would also be an
influence causing individuals to cease in
terfering in any way with the trade
unions.
''Permit me 10 congra tulate you on
your election as national commander of
the American Legion. j hope that some
day / shall have the pleasure of meeting
you pers 5aally and discussing the prob
lens faced by both organizations"
Z A Common Problem.
The reply of Mr.. Galbraith, dated No
vember 27. said that ii was with a real
sense of pride in the fundamental sound
ness Of our American institutions and as
renewed proof thereof that ] read again
the. American Federation of Labor's dec
laration of 1910
'Is there anything in that declaration
TO which the American Legion can OBJ
ject? you ask Certainly not. The
legion subscribes to every word of 1t.
Compare 1t to the preamble of the consti
tuition of our organization. But, as you
and I'both must be aware it is one thing
for a great organization like the Amer-
can Legion or the American Federation
of Labor to aspire to lofty aims and in
conventions assembled give birth to excel
lent pronouncements and ii Is another
thing for such organizations to go out
and in the daily acts and deliberations of
its individual members and small groups
always adhere to such declarations. :.
''In this respect the problems of the
respective organizations we represent ap
pear to be the same. We have before US
constantly the task of living up to our
professed declarations in letter and
spirit. / venture the same may be said
of organized labor
II shall look forward with pleasure to
the time when we may meet and per-
sonallye discuss some of the phases OF
our common problems
