MEDIATION STAFF
ON ANXIOUS SEAT
Adjustment OF Old for New
Board May Result in
Two Vacancies.

With the Board Of Mediation being
abolished by law tomorrow to make
way for the new National Mediation
Board. which now will handle the
railroad disputes, members of the staff
were up in the air today as to their
future.
The board at full strength has a
personnel of 10, but it was said there
might be a vacancy or two. 1t is
not by law a civil service agency but
some of those employed there have
civil service status. Ordinarily the
staff probably would remain on TO
handle whatever routine might demand
attention, but President Roosevelt has
not yet named the three men for
the new board and, in consequence,
the existing establishment is ex-
pected simply to pass out Of the
picture.
Civil Service Positions.
Positions on the new board come
under civil service.
Only two members of what was
originally a board Of five remain in
Office as the tribunal disbands. They
are Samuel E. Winslow. former Re-
publican member of Congress from
Massachusetts,. who served the board
as chairman during it's eight years of
existence, and John Williams of Cali
fornia, who came to the board in Feb
ruarv. 1927. The other vacancies de-
veloping on the board in the past
several months have never been
filed.
Party Affiliations.
There was no expressed political
requirement for the expiring board in
the Law creating it, but the new act
provides that not more than two of
the three members of the incoming
board can be affiliated with the same
party
Word from President Roosevelt is
that he has under consideration the
three appointments for this board and
the single selection he is TO make for
the new commission to handle the
rail pension Law. This also is three
man organization, but the other two
members are the appointees of rail
labor and management.

Those United States marines,

Now that peace and progress
has been restored to Cuba and her

the marines in close proximity to
the island has passed, it is said,
and they viii be returned to their
regular peace time duties.

The car with DIR. Mayer, A. II.

been daily receiving a supply of
beautiful specimens.
Shortly after the car arrived
the weather became cool and a
large number of sea horses were
taken. These are always a well
come addition to the tropical
tanks, and the doctor was delight
ed with his success.
DIR. Mayer told The Citizen
that he had not secured as many
fish as he would have liked, but
the weather has not been of just
the right kind for getting the
rarer and more beautiful fish
Astounding i'm these waters.
However. he has purchased a
large number of various kinds of
angel fish. including q number
of queen angels. the most beauti-
ful of that family found in these
waters.
OF snakefizh inhabitants of the
deep the tanks hold three snake
GELS, which are very rarely taken,
and one moray which, though he
has been studying biology for
years. Dr. Mayer cannot classify.
Though the catch is not as large
as usually made and the variety
not as great as on some former
trips TO Key West, the doctor and
his companions express themselves
as satisfied with results obtained
especially under the adverse wind

DEMERITT GETS
NO REPLY ABOUT
RELIEF POSITION
LOCAL. ADM MIS- TRAIT Or
AWAITING WORD FROM
HEADQUARTERS ON RE-
QUEST TO BE RELIEVED

Asked this morning If he had
received any reply to his request
to be relieved as administrator in
Key West fox Federal Emergency
Relief, w. w. Demeritt replied he
had not.
Mr.. Demeritt's objections to
serving under the new set up are
principally against that part of
the provisions which place certain
persons on direct relief who are
able and willing to work.
Instructions are that a regis
trant's budgetary needs will de-
termine whether he is to be en-
ployed. II these needs are less
for a month than he can earn in
six days, he is to be placed on
direct relief.
For example: One man, among
others, cited his budget at $3.50
weekly. His earning capacity in.
six days, eight hours daily at so
cents the hour--he is Il skilled
workman--is $3.50.
In a month of 80 days his bud
get requires $50 but his earnings
in six days will be approximately
SIS more than his budget, hence
he shall be placed on direct relief
at about SO a week. Able bodied
and willing men, says Mr.. Demer-
lit, but must receive a dole.
Another Objectionable feature,
says Mr. Demeritt. is that there
has been no provision made to
put women to work. There are
a number of women who did ex-
cellent work under the old plan.
who are anxious and capable. bat
who are not provided for in the
new instructions.
And lastly, Mr.. Demeritt he
lieveS that as the position Of adj
nnniStrator carries remuneration
and his services have been given
for nothing since the inception of
the relief idea. he feels that some
other person, who is capable Of
handling the affairs of the office,
should he given the opportunity.
