Farley Is Mentioned
For Membership on
| New War Labor Board
RooseveIts Advisers
Reported in Favor OF
Foct-findine Agency
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Informal discussions concerning
the membership of the new War
Labor Board. which will be estab-
hshed by President Roosevelt to
handle industrial disputes have
brought the name Of James A. Far
ley into the picture. The former
Postmaster General is reported to be
one of the persons whom Mr.. Roose-
velts labor advisers would like to
see named as public representative
on the board.
Mr.. Farley was the Presidents
principal political lieutenant in the
early days of the New Deal. He has
many friends among business and
labor leaders, and at present Is an
official Of the Coco Cola Co.
The President has not indicated
how the board will be made up, but
it is learned that some of his ad-
visers are opposed to the formula OF
recruiting the membership from the
ranks of labor. business and the pub
lie. preferring instead fact-flnding
board composed entirely Of men with
no industrial or labor union amlia-
tiOnS.
A bipartisan board, they said,
would be a duplicate of the National
Defense Mediation Board which the
new board is designed to supersede.
The effectiveness of the latter agency
was reduced to a minimum by the
resignation of the three c. I. o.
representative in protest against
the boards refusal to pass on the
union shop issue in the captive
coal mine dispute. 1t was made up
of six representatives OF industry.
six from labor-three each from the
C. I. o. and A. F.. land three
representatives of the public.
1t was learned, too, that some per-
sons close to the President feel that
the new board should not include
William H. Davis. chairman. or any
other members of the defunct Medi-
alton Board. They favor, instead,
a board made up of men with no
recent record in labor negotiations
and therefore with no pro or anti
labor brands.
Creation of the board was asked
by President RooSevelt's labor man
agement conference which last week
declared a moratorium on strikes
and lockouts for the duration of the
war and agreed to settle all war
time disputes by peaceful means.

Merit System Adopted
For Promotion Of
Army Officers
Provides for Temporary
Ranks and Gives EquoI
Footing in All Branches
BY NELSON NJ. SHEPARD.

Adoption Of a wartime system of
temporary promotion for officers of
the United States Army, aimed at
revitalizing leadership in the field
through recognition of personal
merit and outstanding ability. was
announced today by the War De-
partment.
The new policy closely parallels
the practices set up by Gen. John J.
Pershing for the A. E. F. in 1918,
by which recommendations for pro-
motion could be made by command
ers actually in the field. 1t also
serves to put officers of the Regular
Army, the air forces. Reserves and
National Guard on an equal footing
in matters of promotion. All officers
promoted temporarily will receive
the pay of their new rank.
Puts Aside Seniority.
This merit" system of selection
applies to all ranks from second
heutenants to lieutenant generals.
It does away with the old rules of
seniority. length of service in one
grade, and is aimed primarily at
speeding up the method by which
the Army can avail itself of the
services of men of recognized ability
in positions of higher trust.
AS the first step in the transition
from peacetime to wartime promo
ton. the War Department will COM
plete its initial program by elevat-
ing the remaining lieutenant
colonels and majors of the Regular
Army who had previously been Sc
.lected for promotion. The system
that prevailed prior TO today was
-inaugurated during the early period
of the mobilization and also applied
TO all components of the Amy. The
regular lieutenant colonies and
majors were selected for promotion
on a merit basis and also to match
similar promotions in the Reserves
and National Guard
Promotions in Medical Corps.
In addition, approximately 800 Sc
1ected captains and 1920 selected
first Geutenants of the Medical
Corps will be promoted to the next
higher grade in order to fill many
vacancies in that corps. The bulk
Of these latter promotions will be
made from the medical officers in
the National Guard and Reserves.
Thereafter, promotions will be In
accordance with the new wartime
policy on system that is now being
worked out. Field commanders will
be authorized to recommend pro-
motion of officers for a maximum
of so per cent of the vacancies exist
ing as Of February l, 1912 The re-
manning 40 per cent of existing
vacancies in each grade will be filled
by calling officers of those grades
TO active duty from the Reserves
by transfers and by reassignments
to be made by the War Department
from officers now on administrative
duties.
One important effect of the new
system is to remove the existing ban
on the promotion of Reserve off,
GERS to grades of lieutenant colonels
and colonels and also makes it pos
sible for National Guard officers on
duty with other than Guard units to
be promoted to those grades.
