LONDON, May 9.-Britain plans

navy and air force reserves for
training, War Secretary Leslie Hore-
Belisha told the House of Commons
today, with warning that the ia
ton must sleep on its haversack.
He made the disclosure in opening
debate on the second reading of the
reserve and auxiliary forces bill pro-
posed to dispense with official red
tape and enable the government to
call out reserves secretly.
Prime Minister Chamberlain told
Commons that the reserve and mill
tary training bills would become law
before May %.
Mr.. Hore-Belisha said the two
bills provided the outlines of a sys-
tenn which will give our country in
the immediate future q securer pro-
lection"
He said that calling up army re-

would enable the regular army to
train at war strength In formations
and put the regular army in posi-
ton if necessary to take the field at
short notice.
10000 in Reserve.
The regular army reserve and
supplementary reserve total about
10000. The war secretary said
that anti-Fascist units of the Ter
ritorial Army corresponding to the
National Guard would be called in
rotation. with no man serving more
than one month. These units will
man searchlights and anti-aircraft
guns on 24-hour a day schedules.
Meanwhile, British negotiations
for an alliance with Soviet Russia
were believed to have gained ground
because of increasing friendliness
between Russia and Poland.
Diplomats put this Interpretation
on the announcement that the So
Wet Union was sending an Ambas-
sador to the vacant Warsaw post :
Mr.. Hore- -Be1isha told Commons
that anti-submarine and mine
sweeping units of the Reserve Fleet
would be. put in readiness for war
The admiralty has proposed to call
up $500 reserves and 1.50O pension
ers for three-months duty.
He said Air Minister Sir Kingsley
Wood will be calling up a certain
proportion of the auxiliary air force
at the same time as the anti-aircraft
units of the Territorial Army and
in similar rotation periods of one
month"
Job Return Guaranteed.
Under the governments bill, every
man called for military duty would
have a guarantee of his job back
when the service period is over.
Informed sources In London were
optimistic, therefore, that the way
was being cleared for Russia to
strengthen the British French guar
antee Of Polish independence.
These sources thought Russia was
ready to accept the principle OF
Britain's scheme to guarantee aid
to smaller powers, but that Russia
now wanted a more detailed plan of
how Britain, France and Russia
would move in the event war broke
out.
Foreign Office officials said that
Britain, in a note delivered in Mos

clare a readiness to resist any act

Transfer of a score of bureaus
and merger of several independent
agencies into executive departments
was recommended by President
Roosevelt today in presenting his
reorganization plan No. 2 to Con-
gress. The saving under the plan
was estimated at 81 ,250,000 a year.
Unforeseen high lights of this
order call for abolition of the Ma
tional Bituminous Coal Commission,
It's functions to be turned over to
Secretary of the Interior. and con-
solidation of the Rural Electrlf1ca-
ton Administration into the De-
partment of Agriculture.
Outstanding changes among the
established branches of the ex-
ecutive departments are:
Biological Survey from Agricul-
ture to Interior; Bureau of Insular
Affairs from War to Interior Bureau
of Lighthouses from Commerce to
the Coast Guard, under the Treas
ury; Bureau of Fisheries from Com
merce to Interior; transfer of the
foreign service functions of Com
merce and Agriculture to the State
Department. which has the effect
of dividing the scope of the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce
In the Commerce Department.
Two War Relics Abolished.
Two relics of the World War
The Office of Director General of
Railroads and the War Finance
Corp.-would be abolished and the
Treasury Department directed to
wind up their affairs.
The National Emergency Council
would be abolished and all of its
functions placed directly under the
White House Executive Office, ex-
cept the radio and film services of
the council, which go to the new
Federal Security Agency, set up
under the first reorganization plan.
The National Training School for
Boys is listed for transfer to the De-
partment of Justice, after which the
board of trustees of the institution,
would be abolished.
Other consultations included in
plan No. 2 are:
Placing of the Inland Waterways
Corp. in the Commerce Department;
the Codification Board established
In 1887 is abolished and it's functions
assigned to the Federal Register
Division of National Archives; Fed
eral Prison Industries, Inc, IS
merged into the Justice Depart
ment; the Migratory Bird Commits
sion and the Mount Rushmore Ma
tional Memorial Commission go into
the Interior Department.
Final Plan This Session.
The President in lengthy message
declared this would be his final re-
organization proposal to Congress
this session under the recently
enacted reorganization law.
In view of the fact that it is now
May g." he said, land that any re-
organization plan must lie before
the Congress for go calendar days,
and because the reorganizations of
an ntra-departmental character re-
quire great deal of research and
careful, painstaking, detailed work,
do not propose to send any further
general reorganization plans to the
Congress at this session."
The first plan, involving merger
OF score of independent lending,
welfare and public works agencies
into three new Federal agencies,
becomes effective June "a. because
the veto resolution failed of passage
in the House last week.
Again reminding Congress that
the law prohibits the abolition of
functions, Mr.. Roosevelt estimated

is necessary to call their attention to
it.

William Green, president Of the Fed

made on wage standards by the action
of Congress ommitting the prevailing
wage rate provision from the section

Act of 1889 covering work under the

Of the American Federation of Labor
to protect the workers against the in

ton Aid In 235 Labor
Disputes
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Wy oluO LdUOI l>CWS OCINlSC
Toledo, O.-An enviable record for
successful mediation of labor disputes
is revealed in summary of the activi-
ties of the Toledo Industrial Peace
Board, established as a voluntary arbi-
tration body on July 5, 1885 and made
a regular department Of tho City Gov
ernment April Is, 1886, with Edmund
Ruffin as director.
In the four years the Peace Board
has been offering it's services to en-
ployers and Unions as an unofficial
mediating body without power to en-
force decisions, it has been drawn into
235 disputes involving total of 49,
568 employees.
Of that number, the Board succeed
ed in settling 140 disputes involving
2S,441 employees without stoppage of
work. In SO of these cases the en-
ployes had voted to strike.
Forty-six strikes, involving 5,6l9
persons, were settled during the four
years through intervention of the
Board. One lockout, involving 100
persons, also was adjusted, according
to the Boards records.
In 48 disputes the Board was un-
able to effect a settlement, although
it's efforts were of help in the eventual
conciliation of differences between en-
ployers and employees.
The Board was organized at the
suggestion and with the help of Ed
ward F. McGrady, who, as first as
sistant secretary of labor at that time,
had been called to Toledo as mediator
in two strikes.
1t has functioned at an annual cost
of less than $1,000, small item in
comparison with the economic savings
it has effected by preventing costly
strikes or returning workers to their
jobs through quick and satisfactory
strike settlements.
The unique plan Of city-sponsored
body to act as a voluntary mediator
has brought Toledo favorable notice
throughout the country. The success
of the Board here as inspired the
founding of similar boards in several
cities.
Director Ruffn has travelled to
cities throughout the country to ex-
plain the workings Of the "Toledo
Plan" to city officials attracted to the
successful record of the Toledo In
dustrial Peace Board.
