PROJECT
A. F. Of L. Will Help Senator
Norris in Pushing Hydro
Plan in Congress.

The powerful American Fedora.
ton Of Labor, which through It's
central organization. speaks for
5000. 900 wage earners of the United
States, has aligned itself with the
forces that win fight for the passage
at the coming session Of Congress
Of legislation Z to bring about a
great hydro-electric development at
Great Falls.
Up for Discussion.
The matter Of endorsement of pub
lie ownership Of water power re-
sources was brought up for discus.
sion at Tuesday nights meeting OF
representatives constituting the A.
r. of LIS permanent legislative con-
ference. During the sitting OF the
House and Senate, this body will
assemble once month or oftener to
consider means Of pressing measures
approved by organized labor.
Specific allusion was made to the
Great Falls project, according to a
statement from the offices of Presi.

plan for the Potomac development.
Senator Norris already has an
nounced that he will do all in his
power to bring about passage at this
session of a bill embodying the So
called Tyler plan for a hydro-electric
plant eighteen miles from the Capt.
tai. This scheme, plans for which
were drawn by Maj. w. C. Tyler,
former engineer officer in charge of
the Washington district, provides for
construction OF two dams, one at
Great Falls and the other at Chain
Bridge, and for three extensive stor-
age reservoirs on Great Cacapon
river, the North Fork of the Shenan-
doah and the South Branch of the
Potomac. Use of the reservoirs, 1t
is held by engineering experts, would
obviate the use of a supplementary
steam power plant near one Of the
dams. The appropriation called for,
by figures of 1921, is $44, 12O 900.

Believes Budget Bureau Should
Confine Itself to Financial
Affairs of Government.

The Budget Bureau is anxious
% be relieved of its responsibility
IA connection with the personnel
classification board.
Legislation probably viii be in
troduced in the coming Congress
providing for reorganization of
the board, with the Budget Bureau
left out Of it entirely.
General Lords Proposal.
The plan is to place all personnel
matters in the hands Of independent
tribunals.
az think it unfortunate that the
budget bureau ever was forced upon
to take asshare In the work of classi.
flying Federal employees" General
Lord, director Of the budget, said to-
day. I'VE have personnel Of only
about forty persons, and we are not
to be loaded down with extraneous
functions. It was the plan of Con-
gress when It created the budget bu-
reau to concentrate 1t exclusively on
the finances Of the Government.
OF course, IL Congress desires
that the budget bureau assume other
duties outside the scope of the origi.
nal budget law, the bureau will do
%. think, however, that Congress
win rec the wisdom OF permitting us
to- concentrate upon single task. %
Expects New Legislation.
General Lord said that he himself
would make no recommendations to
Congress regarding the matter, but
that the attitude of the budget bu-
reau would become known to the
proper authorities and undoubtedly
would be the cause Of new legisla-
ton.
It was learned today that Budget
Bureau officials, realizing that the
work Of Reconsideration as accom-
plished by the Personnel Board il
bound to be the cause Of much DO.
litical wire-pulling in the coming
session OF Congress. are placed in
the position Of mixing In the con-
troVersy in which they have no in.
terest. They say the heartburninEs,
the jealousies and the pitfalls in a
task OF reallocating the Federal
employees should not be laid at their
door.
At the present time the Personnel
Classification Board Is composed of
Gen. III. NJ. Lord, in charge of the
Budget Bureau; Herbert Brown,
Bureau of Efficiency and George
Wales, Civil Service Commissioner.
These members have delegated as
their representatives, respectively,
Frederick J. Bailey, H. N. Graves
and Guy Moffett.

OMEN FORECASTS
MORE BLOODSHED

GENEVA, Oct. 23-The blood OF
the Burgundians" has appeared again
on the water OF Lake Morat, near
Neuchatel. portending more trouble
for old Europe, IL ancient legend Is
to be believed.
The reddening of the water in
this lake is caused by the flower
ing Of an aquatic plant. which. how
ever, blooms very rarely. The phe-
nomenon was seen in 1915, when &c.
900 Burgundians under Charles the
Bold were defeated near the lake
by the Swiss. The last time the
waters were red was in 1914, just
before the outbreak of the world
war, a circumstance said to justify
the old saying. when blood is seen
on Lake Morat there will be blood
shed in Europe"

speed the tractors dragged load
consisting of nine barrels of petrol,

necessary for the tractor to drag

of its own fuel and oil. While the
motor worked very well at thirty
degrees below zero. considerable diff
ficulty was experienced at lower tenn
peratures, and finally it was neces-
sary to abandon the use of the trac-
