BY MARK Sl'M.IVAX WASHINGTON, D. C. June 17. The reports of trouble over patronage between the president and the senate are entirely correct So are the re
ports of discontent over patronage be-, tween the president and the poli-j
ticians. A review of the appointments that President Harding has made, compared with the kind of appcntments that the political organizaions in the various states thought he ought to make and fully expected he would make, shows some results which explain why many of the senators and politicians are extremely restless. The most recent conspicuous one is that of Jame3 M. Beck to be solicitor general. If the politicians don't like this appointment, if the senators from
New Jersey don't like it, and if the
nepuoncan organization in New Jersey doesn't like it, no one ought to
be surprised. Mr. Beck has had his i
voting residence in New Jersey but a few months. His appointment to be solicitor general is absolutely no political asset whatever to the Republican organization in that state. Hard on Organization. As the Republican organization of New Jersey like the Republican organization of every other state, is
looking forward to a probably hard fight next year, it naturally' feels it I isn't helped very much by appoint- j ments which are charged against it. : but which are not a local political; asset.

the bureau of war risk insurance is perfecting its "speed up" program, and a similar policy is to be put into operation by the bureau of pensions which handles all the claims of the veterans and the widows and children of veterans of the Civil war and the Spanish-American war. Two acts passed by congress last year have placed a great' amount of additional work on the bureau of pensions. These particular acts authorized more people to file claims, and had the effect of increasing the pension allowances of others. The enactment of the two laws was followed immediately by a great influx of claims, and the bureau has been doing its best to dispose of them with its limited working force. Hamlin M.

quantity of government business which must be cared for by the federal district attorney in New York are such as to demand the highest kind of ability, both legal ability and organizing ability. It is well understood in Washington that for this office the New York politicians and the New York Republican organization had several candidates, and that Attorney General Daugherty turned down these political recommendations in order to name as good a man as Hayward. The New York organization formally

Ernest Cable, business manager for the labor unions, stated that the decrease was unfair to the men inasmuch as they were receiving a waga comparable with surrounding cities of equal size, under the old scale, and that they never had demanded tho high prices that had prevailed in many cities. He stated that the unions would have a proposition to make public the

Many other of Attorney General Daugherty's appointments and recommendations have taken the same turn, just now, incidentally it is understood

No announcement as to the content
of the plan would be made. The strike, which has now been in
progress a week, started with the notices sent to the various crafts that a new wage scale would go into effect
one June 11 and that all workmen
who did not want to work under the
month for veterans, and provided a pension of $72 per month for totally disabled veterans. ' Several hundred
claims were iiied i under that act by
veterans living in the sixth district.
Another important law passed by congress last year, known as the act of June 5, relates to veterans of the Spanish-American war, the Philippine insurrection and the China relief expedition. Under this law veterans of those wars suffering from disabilities, even though their disabilities are not of service origin, are entitled to pensions, the minimum rate being $12
per month, the maximum rate $30 per Wayne Vets.
Scores of claims under the Act of June 5 were received from the sixth Indiana district, particularly from Wayne county, which was the only county in the district which recruited an entire company for service in the Spanish-American war. It is under
stood that a majority of the Spanish war soldiers residing in Wayne county are now receiving pensions. Some idea of the scope of the government's activities relative to the care, treatment and rehabilitation of the men who were disabled while serving with the American forces during the World war may be gathered from the fact that 600,000 casualties and disabilities were directly or indirectly traceable to such service. It is also stated that 525,000 veterans of the late war have applied for compensation in accordance with the war risk insurance act. About 35 per cent of these come within the purview of the nervous and mental group. As to the ultimate number who will apply for compensation the government's actuaries have estimated that within the course of the next ten years 1.500,000 claims will have been filed with the bureau of war risk insurance.

The alternative to this is to fill tho vacancy by promotion from among the men already sitting as district judges, the two district judges who are most strongly recommended for the vacancy being Hand, of New York, and Julius Mayer, of New York. If Attorney General Daugherty in his recommendation and President Harding in his appointment stick to the course which they already have followed to such a degree that it indicates a policy on their part, they will fill this vacancy on the circuit bench by promotion, rather than by taking some one inexperienced on the bench.
