PLAN TOGO AHEAD
Coordination of Depart
ments Not Dead Issue, Says
Walter F. Brown.

The plan to reorganize the various
governmental departments and agencies
so as to promote efficiency, reduce ex-
penses and eliminate duplication OF ef-
fort is "by no means dead" although II
has been on long summer vacation,
according to Walter F. Brown OF
Toledo, Ohio. who came to Washing
ton more than a year ago at the re-
quest of President Harding to person.
ally direct the planned reorganization.
The plan will come to the front
again within a few months" Mr.. Brown
said, I'VE hope to have it ready to
nlace before Congress during the early
part of the short session, probably some
time in January.
Laws Soon to Pass.
Mr.. Brown said he is satisfied that
the legislation providing for the reor-
ganization in question will be upon the
statute books before next spring. He
stated with much emphasis that Presi-
dent Harding has lost none Of his en-
thusiasm regarding it. and that when
the time comes he will lend the powers
of his office to bring about speedy and
facorable action.
Mr.. Brown also believes that ex-
cent for a few minor matters there
is a unanimity Of opinion among the
departmental heads regarding the
changes proposed in the reorganiza-
tion plan. The few minor objections
will readily be ironed out to the sat
isfaction of all concerned, Mr.. Brown
believes. and when the complete plan
is presented to Congress it Will have
the unanimous support Of the cabinet.
Changes to BE Made.
Mr.. Brown said it was not unlikely
that a few less important changes
will be made in the plan as origi-
nally submitted to President Harding.
These changes, it is pointed out. will
meet the objections offered by certain
cahinat members and at the same
time will have little general effect
unon the complete plan. The princi-
nsI differences regarding the pro-
po.ad changes have existed among
the heads Of the Interior, Commerce
and Agricultural departments Mr..
Brown said he expects to have an
other conference with the President
late this afternoon and probably an
other early next week
earding the vacation forced upon
the reorRanization plan, Mr.. Brown
explained that while 1t was some
what of a disappointment 1t could
not otherwise be helped, because of
the more important matters which
have occupied the attention Of the
administration.

GERMANY DAzED
BY Marks DROP
Panic Sweeps Nation With
Shops Closing and Rush
for Tangibles.
BY GEORGE WITTE.

By Wireless to The Star and Chicago Dan!
News. Copyright. 1922.
BERLIN, August 25.-"Panic' is the
only word which properly describes the
effect Of the fall of the German mark
from 1892 to 1880 to the dollar inside
of twenty -four hours. The government
is dazed, the people are stricken dumb
and the shops are closing up or being
overrun by wild-eyed men and women
trying to convert their pieces of paper
into something tangible.
The government appears to be help
less, with the reparations commission
remaining in Berlin until this evening
and the principal questions still un-
solved Members Of the Wirth cabinet
are wavering between making far
reaching concessions toward meeting
Premier Poincares demands in order to
stabilize the mark OF breaking off the
negotiations and begging the repara-
tions commission for mercy.
GlOomier Situation.
The situation is far gloomier than
anything predicted by Chancellor Wirth
when he met the foreign correspond
ents less than a week ago. There seems
to be no way of stopping Ger1nany's
head1ong dash toward the same preci-
pice, at the bottom Of which the bones
of the former great powers. Russia and
Austria, are bleaching now.
BY strage coincidence the Austrian
prime minister. DR.. Seipel, came to
Berlin in quest Of financial and eco
nomic support on the day the mark
took its most disastrous tumble, reach
ing the point attained by the Austrian
crown sixteen months ago-a relatively
short time in these days of world wide
financial turmoil

In we'll informed circles it is be-

GOMPERS Is EXPECTED.
Hand of Administration Seen in
--latest Developments.

PHILADELPHIA, August 25.-An-
nouncement came from those close
to John L. Lewis, head Of the United
Mine Workers that he would have
probably no statement to make to-
day upon the possibility of the re-
sumption of a conference between
union representatives and those of
the anthracite operators in the i'm
mediate future.
Reports We're current. however.
that Mr.. Lewis had been in com
munication with Washington today
and that there would be a conference
between himself. Gov. Sproul and
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor, ex-
pected here from Canada, should tire
latter arrive today There was
nothing official to these reports
Gompers to Try Persuasion.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, was to
arrive in Philadelphia today for a con-
ference with Lewis Mr. Lewis was
quoted today as confirming dispatches
saying that Mr. Gompers intended to
attempt to persuade him to begin new
negotiations with the operators to end
the deadlock which has kept the hard
coal fields idle since April /.
1t was understood that Mr.. Gompers
has assured President Harding and
Secretary of Labor Davis that he would
do his utmost to bring about an agree
ment between the opposing sides, and
there was possibility that he might
have with him special message from
President Harding to the miners.
Both the departments of Labor and
of Commerce have been in communi-
cation with miners and operators here
by telephone, seeking to persuade them
to reconvene and try to reach some
mutually satisfactory basis for settle
ment. So far, however. the "stand-pat"
attitude of both sides has shown no
sign Of being relaxed. The miners con-
tinue their demand for a two-year con-
tract, and refuse arbitration, while the
operators stand by their proposal to use
the anthracite conciliation commission
as a ''fact-f1nding" body with recon-
mandatory powers. They also want a
one-year contract.

comment when the writer asked them
for statements on the present situa-
ton. The reason for their reticence
probably was not that they were afraid
to commit themselves, but that they
were not able to explain what the gov
ernment could do to halt the further
printing of paper money. It is believed
that 5000 marks to the dollar will be
the next milestone along Germanys
path toward the unknown and fear-in-
spring future.
ers agree that the next few months
will be none too pleasant in Germany
