CLAIMS Continued Claim of the Netherlands Government under section 3 of the Dent Act. The agreement made between the representatives of the United States and the Netherlands Government concerning the price to be paid to the Netherlands Government for war materials taken over by the United States in 1917, which were to be furnished to a foreign government, is within the purview of section 3 of the Dent Act (40 Stat. 1273). The claim, arising out of the agreement to adopt as a basis for ascertaining just compensation the costs of the supplies in lieu of the market value, is within the scope of section 3 of the Dent Act, supra. The action taken by Assistant Secretary Wainwright, as indicated in his letter and memorandum of April 12, 1922, was not an adjustment or an adjudication of this claim under section 3 of the Dent Act, supra. 36:547 See Compromise.

There is nothing in the phraseology of the definitions of Grade 6 of the Professional and Scientific Service and Grade 13 of the Clerical, Administrative, and Fiscal Service, as contained in the Classification Act of 1923, to prevent the allocation of positions described in these grades to the maximum grades of their respective services. 34:118 Appointments and promotion of women. *Civil Service. 42:157 Authority to establish regular workweek. *Public Printer. 41:282 Disregard in rates of pay for personnel, emergency agencies. *Emergency Agencies. 37:493 *District of Columbia.

If the Interstate Commerce Commission finds the existence of an emergency such as the Secretary of Commerce describes, that body has ample and unquestioned authority to provide such rules and regulations as will enable the proposed plan to be carried into operation. 33:254 Liability of naval officers for coal furnished by Navy. *Navy. 33:543 Transportation by foreign corporations. *Income tax. 33:221 COAL AND ASPHALT DEPOSITS Disposition of advance royalties paid by lessees. The Pierce Coal Company having purchased, under the Act of February 8, 1918 (40 Stat. 433), the coal and asphalt deposits underlying a certain tract in the segregated coal and asphalt lands of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations, Okla., upon which tract advance and deficit royalties had been paid by a lessee as required by section 29 of the Act of June 28, 1898 (30 Stat. 510), the said Pierce Coal Company is not entitled to payment to it of the advance and deficit royalties paid by said lessee. The rules and regulations of the Secretary of the Interior, promulgated September 24, 1918, authorizing the payment to purchasers of such coal and asphalt deposits of advance royalties to the credit of lessees, are inconsistent with the Act of February 8, 1918 (40 Stat. 433), and consequently void. 35:259 COAL DEPOSITS *Coal and Asphalt Deposits. 35:259 COAL MINES Strikes. *Labor disputes. 40:306, 500 COAST GUARD Contracts for alteration or repair of vessels. *Shipping. 38:418 Navy. 41:49 40:504 Correction of records, Discharges. *Records.

Lieutenant T. Y. Awalt, of the Coast Guard, is not entitled to precedence in official rank above certain other lieutenants, former temporary officers, by reason of the fact that his first commission, as ensign (engineering), preceded in point of time their respective commissions as lieutenants, which were their first permanent commissions. Nothing in the language of the act of July 3, 1926 (44 Stat. pt. 2, 815), indicates that Congress intended that a subordinate officer, upon promotion to a higher grade, should supersede in rank temporary officers previously appointed to such higher grade. Under the circumstances herein stated, Lieutenant Awalt is not entitled to official rank above Lieutenants Hilton, Rosenthal, Meals, Kelliher, Smith, Higbee, and Wilcox, or any of them. 37:43 Retirement, restoration to active duty. *Retirement. 40:178 Air Force. *Records. 41:203 Transfer to Navy. *Army, Navy, The President is authorized by the act of January 28, 1915 (14 U.S.C. 1), to transfer the Coast Guard to the Navy Department in times of peace, whenever, in his judgment, the exigenices require such action. 40:32 Voluntary grant by South Carolina. *Lands. 39:366 COASTWISE TRADE *Alaska Railroad. 37:590 Establishment of load lines.

The President has authority under section 10 (a) of the National industrial Recovery Act to prescribe a regulation prohibiting employers from dismissing employees for making a complaint or giving evidence with respect to alleged violations of codes of fair competition.
