NAVY YARD CHANGES
Thirty Employees of the Gun Shop Dis
charged and Twenty Transferred
Lack of Work on Account of Failure
to Deliver FOrsings-The Ac-
cident on Saturday.

A large number of changes took place at
the Washington. navy yard. Thirty en-
pioyes CT the gun shop were discharged
and twenty others were transferred to the
mount and other shops. The cause of this
action was the lack Of work. due mainly
to the failure of the Midvale steel works
of Pennsylvania to supply the necessary
forgings for fifty-eight guns, in accordance
with their contracts. These forgings
should have been in readiness in November
last 1t is true that forgings have been
submitted, but in the case of the fifty
eight guns they did not come up to the
contract requirements and were all re-
jected. The result is a practical suspen-
sion Of work in the south end of the gun
shop, where all the small guns are as
sembled. Proposals have been invited for
forgirgs for thirty additional guns. and it
is estimated that they will begin to arrive
early in May, in which event work will be
renewed full time in the south gun
shop.
The delivery of acceptable forgings by
the Midvale Company may also be reasona-
bly, expected in course of time in which
event work will be resumed on the fifty-six
guns, the construction of which is now
suspended simply from lack of material.
In addition to the above changes all the
mechanics employed on special work have
been rerated in order to avoid reduction
of force. The 1928 per diem class were
reduced to $3.04 per diem, and the S.O4
class to $3.50 per diem,
An accident occurred at the yard on Sat
urday, but fortunately no one was injured.
In attempting to remove a cylinder from
an S-inch gun the main driving shaft.
which runs six of the longest lathes in the
gun shop, got twisted and broke. The
cylinder has SO far resisted all efforts to
unscrew it from the tube and it may be
necessary to cut it off. Captain Sampson,
chief of the bureau of ordnance. told
for for fp6a hot ho S1ly1 IA M
been damaged and that there would be no
great trouble in removing the sleeve. He
said there must have been sand on the
tube. causing the sleeve to cut and score.
The cylinder can be cut off If necessary,
and as it is only casting its destruction
is not a very serious affair.

INDEPENDENCE OF CUBA.
What Senator Call Thinks the United
States Should Do.

States Should Do.
When Senator Call of Florida, who has
taken an active interest in the Cuban
cause, was asked today If he considered
it probable that the United States would
take any steps looking to the recognition
of Cuban independence he replied that he
thought this country should not only recog>
nize the independence of the island, but
that 1t should guarantee the bonds of an
Independent government He said that he
had given Secretary Gresham his views on
this point, but had not received any as
surance from the Secretary that such
course would be pursued.
The Senator stated that 1t was his un-
derstanding that almost the entire popu-
lation of the island, including a large ma
jority of the rich planters outside of a
few full blood Spaniards and possibly some
residents of Havana, were committed to
the cause of independence. and he explain
ed the opinion that they could raise an
army of 100000 or 100000 men who would
be efficient if they could secure supplies
for their sustenance and military equip
ment. He added that the revolutionists
had some competent leaders, and he was
quite sure they would make determined
effort to secure their liberty.
Mr.. Call also said that there were great
many sympathizers with the Cuban cause
in his state, where there are large num-
doubt that the native Cubans, wherever
found in this country, would aid to the
extent of their ability in furnishing the
means for carrying on the struggle He
added that there were many wealthy men
among them.
