not complete, Mr.. Husband said, while
at the same time he expressed fears
lest there be some trouble as a result
of the present rush Of immigrants

bituminous coal operators Of central
Pennsylvania through it's president.
J. S. Sommerville. today renewed
request for a conference between
miners and operators in a letter ad-
dressed to John Brophy. president Of
District No. 2. United Mine Workers.
C1earheld. Pa
Brophy had replied in a previous
letter saying that "if tho purpose is
to as. for n reduction In wage scales
a conference would be useless"
Sommerviile points out that under
the rules OF the joint conference such
matters OF mutual interest may be
brought before it, as we deem ad-
visable for discussion and action by
that body. A request for a reduction
in wages would be Il proper one for
US to make. and our right to do so
has been established by many prece-
dents on the part Of both operators
and mine workers, over a period Of
moro than twenty years Of collective
bargaining in this district. The mine
workers cannot question our right
to a joint conference"

WOULD MER GE ALL ENGINEER
AND PUBLIC DOMAIN SERVICES
Proposed New Department OF Y. S. Gov
ernment Outlined by Institute for
Research in Report.

peaIs. Interior Department. the United
States geological survey and the ma
tional parks service, all subordinate
services of the Department Of the
Interior: the forest servtce Of the
Department Of Agriculture, the ma
tional military park service Of the
War Department and the federal
power commission. an independent
establishment.
The institute advises the committee
that this unsatisfactory situation
leads to Unnecessary duplication Of
the expenditure Of public funds. evils
which can effectively be removed by
bringing all Of these several serv-
ices under common direction.
Proposed OrRani.ation.
1t Is recommended that the proposed
new department should have the fol-
lowing organizations:
G1 Eureau 1 Of waterway % improve, "sd

harbors. War Dcpraement: (c> MIS-
stssippi river commi ssion. War De-

National Parks service; (b) national
military parks service.
U0) Federal power commission.
Character Of Change.
Much the most radical change that
would be made in the existing organ
ization of the government. through
the creation of department OF pub
lie works and public domain along
the lines indicated. Will he the trans
fer to that department of responsible
ity for the construction and operation
of public works of d rivil character
now vested in the War Department
other than work of this character
which it is recommended be trans
ferred to other departments or serv-
ices of the government.
Prominent among the arguments
for this change are that it would G)
relieve the War Department Of re.
sponsibility of a military char.
acter: co that it is impossible for the
War Department to give to the prob.
lem of public improvements that con.
sideration from the general-policy
standpoint that can be secured from q
department having this duty as its
major responsibility; (5) that the
corps Of engineers of the department
Of public works will inevitably be
moro compctent to do the work to be
done than Army engineers. who have
not the special training and practi.
cal experience in works OF a purely
civil character: 90 that such work
can be more economically performed
by the civilian engineers.
