AT THE NAVY YARD.
No Big Discharge to he Made, n Was
RumOred.

RumOred.
A rumor was in circulation this afternoon
among the 800 or 800 men employed at the
navy yard that about 500 Of their number
would be discharged tomorrow. The rumor
had general credence. and was the cause of
much anxiety. 1t is without foundation,
excepting for the fact that about ten men
will be dispensed with in the pattern shop
because Of completion of work. Those to
be dismissed will be those who can best be
spared.
Probably there will be a few more dis
missals during the summer. ana 1t Is quite
likely that a number, estimated by a high
official at 100. will take place in the fall.
This estimate Is based upon present ;ndica-
tions, and there is possibility that the
necessity Of reduction may be obviated by
new orders from the Navy Department for
work.
What Capt. Sampson Says.
Capt. Sampson, chief Of the bureau of
ordnance. who has charge of construction
work at the Washington gun foundry. said
to Sta- reporter today that the gradual
completion of the ordnance work authorized
by Congress has necessitated a heavy re-
duction of the force employed in the gun
shops at the navy yard. Further discharges
! will have to he made, he said, as the work
now on hand progresses toward compile
tion. There Is no authority for new work
In the construction Of ordnance. and Capt.
Sampson estimates that all the work now
on hand will be completed within a years
time. Therefore, unless Congress provides
for additional ordnance, the work of con-
struCtton Will soon cease altogether. and
the force of mechanics and laborers at the
yard will be reduced to such only as may
be required in the work of general repairs.
That would require less than one-third OF
present force of about a thousand men en-
ployed in the gun shops. According to
Capt. Sampson. the discharges are due not
SO much TO lack of funds as to a lack of
authority to employ the balance on hand
in the new work.
