Der IS, 1926, to the amount of $300,0O0.-

ARMY BOARD IS BUSY
ON BIG PLUCK|NG JOB
Two Thousand Officers to Be Denoted
Dropped From the Rolls
Or Retired

Washington.-The hoard of generaF
officers appointed to undertake the
most wholesale 'plucking" job ever
initiated among the regular army of
ficers corps held its first meeting with
Major General Joseph II. Dickman, re-
tired, presiding as president. 1t has
now begun operations toward TIL
elimination or demotion of some 1000
officers.
Congress. \ directing that the Of
ficers corps be reduced by January I
to $4,000 did not include the general
officers of the army in fixing the num-
Der to be retained in each grade. The
war department, in preparing instruc- .
tions for the "%plucking' board did in
clude the general officers insofar as
the retirement of major or brigadier
generals for physical disability would
create vacancies and permit the APP
pointment of colonies to general Off
Ger rank, reducing the number Of sur
plus colonies to that extent.
There appeared also to be much con-
Germ among board members as to the
view many officers might take of the
boards action in recommending any
for honorable discharge. Pre-
liminary investigation indicates that
probably more thar LOO officers now
the rolls must be separated" from
the active service in this way.

PRIORITY

Administration To Deal Fairly With
All, But viii Uphold the Dignity
OF the Government Of the
United States

Observation-Disclosures of the rail-
road labor board as the only agency
created for handling the transportation
tie-up, acceleration of coal production
under federal protection and control
of fuel distribution were given by adj
ministration spokesman as the three
fundamentals of the governments
policy toward the Industrial crisis in
volved in the coal and railroad strikes.
Restatement of the governments po-
sition followed the regular meeting of
the cabinet which, for nearly three
hours, devoted it's attention to the
double threat against the country's
economic fabric; famine in fuel and
disruption of interstate commerce.
The first step toward control of de-
pleted transportation facilities and coal
supply came in a statement from the
interstate commerce commission, de-
claring that an emergency existed in
the territory east of the Mississippi,
which required the commission to di-
rect the routing of all essential con

roads first priority on fuel require

water and sew works, ice plants serv-
ing the public, and refrigeration plants
in preservation of food, follow
ing in the order named.
1t was added that the administration
was struggling to deal fairly with the
entangled rights of all parties to the
widespread industrial controversies,
but intended above all to uphold the
majesty and dignity of the government
Of the United States.

age Is Claim

Spokane, Wash.-Fear Of winds
which would fan already threatening
forest fires of northeastern Washing
ton and northern Idaho into fiercer
flame, dominates Inland Empire for
ests. The situation was characterized
by authorities as critical.
At Newport, Wash, fires were re-
ported worse, and spreading further.
Two separate fires are being fought,
n In the meadows vicinity near the
Stevens county line, the other In
Rocky Greek.
The Flood Wood creek fire, as re-
ported from Potlach, Idaho, is spread
ing north and will be completely out
Of control if high winds rise.
The situation at Wallace is said to
be practically unchanged. Along Mar
Bile Creek, where 400 to 500 men are
fighting a large blaze, experienced
woOdsmen declare that unless rain
comes, a high wind may spread the
fire and do immense damage. One new
fire was reported near the Hecla mine,

RAILROADS WILL
CONSIDER PEACE
In New York; Claim Nothing
In View

Washington.-A meeting Of execu-
tives of 14S of the major railroads of
the United States will be called In New
York next week to consider a plan for
| settling the strike now in progress, T.
Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the Asso-
citation Of Railway Executives an
nounced after a conference with Pres
ident Harding.
Mr.. Cuyler added, however, that "no
definite basis' for strike settlement
was ready to be placed before the
meeting. His conference with the
president, he said, had been devoted
to a general survey of the situation.
While Mr.. Cuyler was positive in
his statement that the basis for pro-
posed settlement of the strike had not
been definitely drawn up, earlier re-
ports indicated that at least a tenta-
tive plan had resulted from the con-
ference between President Harding
and leaders of the various railroad
labor groups.
President Harding has made no
specific request to the railroad execu-
tives, Mr.. Cuyler said, when asked If
the question of seniority rights had
been brought forward at the conference
with a view to influencing some rail
roads to reconsider their stand against
returning these rights to striking shop
men.
