common practice in the Navy, 1t
would not be long until a large num-
ber of officers who were educated and
trained in the Navy and Marine Corps
would be employed at other duties.
This, it Is apparent. would seriously
affect the efficiency of the corps.
Even President Coolidge, when he
granted Gen. Butler his leave, stated
that he did not wish to have 1t re-
garded as a precedent. The absence
of one officer is not so serious. What
is feared is the gradual inauguration
of a policy where officers who have
displayed exceptional ability in some
line of work would be transferred to
civil life and thus deprive the military
and naval establishments of their serv-
ices.
There is widespread interest in the
case of Gen. Butler being manifested,
throughout the Navy.
The Bureau of Navigation, it was
announced by the Navy Department
this week, will shortly issue to the
service a catalogue giving list of
schools granting concessions to sons
and daughters of officer and enlisted
personnel Of the Navy, together with
the concessions or scholarships offered
Considerable expense has been en-
tailed by the bureau in the prepara-
ton of this catalogue 1t was pointed
out in the department.. and as there
is a limited number available for dis
tribution, in all probability the cata-
logue will not be reprinted. Rear

The work contemplates an extension
of the present building, relocating Of
boilers, and installing of the new feed
water heating system. Two boilers

feed water heater is to be shipped all

The chief of the bureau of yards and
docks is searching every station for
material for the enlargement and i'm
provement of the air station at Pensa-
cola.
Although silence on the subject is
maintained at Marine Corps head
quarters, there is an impression that
Brig. Gen. Smedley ID. Butler, u. S.
NJ. c., will return to the service upon
the expiration of his leave on Decem-
ber 81, 1925. 1t is not believed that
President Coolidge will extend his
leave despite the vigorous campaign
that some of the church leaders have
conducted in an effort to have him
continue as director of public safety
at Philadelphia.
Such an extended leave has already
been granted to Gen. Butler for duty
outside of the service without prece-
dent. Furthermore, 1t is regarded as
bad precedent in the Navy Department
and throughout the service. The origi-
nal grant for a leave was proposed by
Secretary DENLY and those in author
ity in the department. 1t is claimed
that If such an arrangement becomes

! officers in the air service. This would
make all new material to come in at
! the bottom. Objection was made to
the detail of officers to this branch
who should they qualify in flying and
be transferred, would be senior to
some officers in the air arm who had
been flying for a longer period, and
difficulty was experienced Immediately
by the chief of Air Service in filling up
the Air Service shortage IN commits
stoned personnel
In commenting upon this situation
Maj. Gen. Mason NJ. Patrick, chief of
Air Service. summed up his position
briefly as follows:
IF an officer senior to any in the
Air Service transfers to that branch
he soon learns to fly and is available
for assignment. His seniority would
necesSitate his assignment over his
juniors who had been in the Air Serv-
ice and been flyers much longer. In
general. this would be an injustice
to the present Air Service officers and,
with few exceptions, applications
for transfer have been disapproved."
Knowing that their applications will
| be disapproved by the chief of Air
| Service, officers of suitable efficiency
| and experience do not submit their
| applications to the air arm, and under
the operation of this policy, the up
building of the senior personnel of the
air arm has been stagnated for about
/ .hree years.
The hope has been expressed in the
War Department that the Morrow air
| board of inquiry will recognize that
this is not good policy, and that it's
report will include recommendations
which will provide for a more liberal
policy in building up the commission
ed personnel of the air arm. There
are at present about 200 commissioned
vacancies in the Air Service.
Sea going Army officers of the med
lcal department, as the result of a
new Army transport policy which has
been adopted by the Quartermaster
Corps, will, in the future not be as
signed as transport surgeons. The
inauguration of this policy, it was
pointed out in the War Department
this week. is due to the fact that there
is such urgent need for Army medical
! officers ashore that those heretofore
assigned as transport surgeons, will
be relieved by some medical officer
making the trip as a passenger, who
Will perform the transport surgeon
duties. The new arrangement has
already been placed in effect, and
the sea-going Army doctors have now
settled down to a quiet life ashore.
Announcement was made this week

Federation of Labor.
Tells Public of Labors Aims
Mr.. Woll, having in mind the fact
that all classes of persons throughout
the Middle West and in more distant
parts of the county were listening
in" to what he had to say, spoke
along general lines and endeavored to
bring home to his vast radio audience
the broad and humanitarian character
of the American labor movement and
the concepts and principles upon
which it is founded, together with its
present aims and objects, hopes and
aspirations, not forgetting to point
out the dangers that lie ahead His
speech was broadcast over station
WEAR.
Labor unions are here today" he
said, "as the result of the efforts of
capital to centralize wealth in the
hands of the few, while the many
worked for wage that allowed only
bare subsistence.
They are here today to balance
capital, to place force in the field
which will hold capital in check and
allow property to be more evenly dis
tributed among all of the people.
Unions have perpetuated our system
of free government designed to give
all an equal right to enjoy the bene-
fits of toll"
