Officers THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR. MT. VERNON. GEORGIA. ' WOULD REORGANIZE J I U.S. NAVY RESERVE _— TENTATIVE BILL IS FORWARDED RESERVE ASSOCIATION BY SECRETARY DENBY ENLISTMENTS FOUR YEARS Bill Would Abolish All Existing Naval Or Marine Corps Reserves Washington.—Complete reorganiza I tion of the naval reserve is proposed in a tentative bill prepared by the navy department and forwarded tc officials of the naval reserve associa tlon by Secretary Denby for comment before It Is presented to congress. Included in the proposed act is the provision for a merchant marine re serve section and for certain mer chant ships to fly a reserve emblem. The bill would abolish all existing naval or marine corps reserve and es tablish a naval reserve as a "compo- J nent part’’ of the navy, consisting oi three classes, the fleet reserve, the merchant marine naval reserve and the volunteer naval reserve. A sepa rate section provides for reorganiza tion of the present marine corps re serve in conformity with the new plan. It would have two classes cor responding to the fleet reserve anl the volunteer reserve of the naval e» tablishment. All present members of the various classes of naval reservists, both of ficers and men, and the naval militia would be brought into the new sys tem, officers not to be above the rank of lieutenant-commander except for "a small percentage” in the rank ot commander of captain, “for the re cruiting, organization, administration, training, inspection and mobilization of (he naval reserve.’’ Enlistments in the reserve w r ould be for four year 3 while officers would hold their com missions "during the pleasure of tha president.’’ W’liile on active duty, except train ing, they would receive the pay and allowances of their rank or grade in the regular service and a SIOO cloth- j ing gratuity would go to each officer ! when commissioned in the fleet re- j seve, with an additional SSO allow ance for each succeeding your years of service. In time of war every re serve officer would receive $l5O for uniforms. Fleet reserve officers below the rank of Ueutenan-commander and enlisted men attached to a division would re ceive one-thirtieth of the monthly base pay of their rank of rating for not more than five drills or equivalent training a month. Those not attach- ' ed to such organized divisions would receive four-thirtieths of their base ! pay for “satisfactory performance" oi duties assigned to them. Division commanders would receive $240 a year | in addition to the prescribed training | Pay. To fill up the fleet reserve, author- ' ity would he given to require a four year fleet reserve enollment as a part and extension of each man enlisting j in the regular navy, assignment to the reserve to be made unless the the sailor re-enlisted. No active duty j without their consent would be re j quired of men in the fleet reserve I and they would receive $25 a year. Officers and men of the merchant ! marine reserve, not on active duty with the navy would receive a month’s base pay a year for performance oi appropriate duties and would be trans- ! ferred to the volunteer reserve or dls ! charged within a year after they ceased to follow the sea.

Numerous Clashes Mark Dail Session Dublin, Ireland.—Numerous clashes | occur daily in the dail eireann, the feeing running high. Mr. De Valera | continues to press for recognition of the dail's supremacy, hut the minis ! ters of the provisional government hold I firmly that they are supreme ar*i re j sponsible only to tho Irish people.

Observers express the opinion that the net result of recent debates has been to strengthen the | hands of the provisional government i and increase public confidence in it. RULING IN WISCONSIN CASE i Decision Establishes Supremacy Os 1 C. C. In Regulating Matters Pertaining To Railroads Washington.—The supremacy ol the interstate commerce commission j over state utilities commissions and ; similar state bodies in matters per j taining to the regulation of railroads has been established by the decision of the United States Supreme court in the Wisconsin rate case. The court, in an unanimous decision | handed down recently, declared that , states cannot establish freight or pas j senger rates which interfere with in ! terstate commerce, and cannot estab lish rates within a state which are discriminatory. The spirit of the decision is con tained in the declaration that "com merce is a unit and does not stop at state lines.” The decision upholds the vital sea- ! ture of the transportation act of 1920, 1 which provided broader federal control of carriers than heretofore had been attempted. It greatly curtails powers which had been claimed by the state regulatory bodies, validates rates with in states which had been ordered into effect by the commission, and prob ably precludes action by the states to fix passenger fares an in pre-war days when the two-cent fare was generally mandatory. A long-disputed problem is settled, because there has been conflict for years as to just what rights were exercised by the federal government as opposed to the states. The state of Wisconsin was joined in its suit by 42 other states, while the contentions j of the government before the court ! were supported by the largest car- j riers. When the interstate commerce com- ; mission ordered higher rates into es- j feet under the act of 1920, Wisconsin adhered to rates established by the [ state. The commission, after an in ! vestigation, ordered rates within Wis consin to be increased in amounts cor responding to the general increase. The commission in its investigation found “undue unreasonable and un just discrimination against persons traveling in interstate commerce and against intertsate commerce as a whole.” But the state obtained an injunc | tion in district federal court, from which appeal was taken to the high , tribunal. Douglass Trial To Be In Chattooga Lyerly.—James Douglass, charged ; ! with the murder of Sheriff A. G.

Fraud Charged To Work Agencies Washington.—Prosecution of em ; ployment agencies which are "exploit- ] ing the people and preying upon the j ; unemployed” in connection with pros- ] j pective operations at the Muscle I Shoals, Alabama, power and nitrate j projects, has been recommended by Major General Beach, chief of army j engineers, in a letter to Francis I.

Probe Report Blames Use Os “New” Richmond, Va. —"Evidence of gross negligence, incompetence and a want of proper regard for the safety and lives of both guests and employees,” is the finding; of the special grand jury after an investigation into the Lex ington hotel fire disaster, which, on February 7, took a toll of twelve lives and sent many persons, pitifully injur ed, to hospitals, as submitted to Judge D.
