Assistant Secretary McAdoo is
again on duty at the Navy Depart
ment, having this week returned
from his five weeks cruise with
Admiral Meade's squadron. He is
enthusiastic over the behavior of
men and ships on the cruise, and
says he learned and unlearned much
that will be useful to him and bene
fetal to the Government in admin
isterlng his official business. He is
greatly pleased at the result Of the
experiment made by the Depart
ment OH this cruise, of sending coal
for the ships direct from the United
States in order to head off the ex
tortion of the coal dealers in West
Indian and Central American ports.
The experiment WAS a success. Mr..
McAdoo says "There was consid-
cradle opposition and somewhat Of
an organized effort made to prevent
the securing Of labor for taking the
coal from the American schooners
to the ships; but this effort failed.
In ono instance the local coal deal
ers employed all the labor in the
market, paying the men to remain
idle. But laborers we're procured
from the interior. The result of
this very wise action on the Part of
the Department-which will save
annually great deal of money-is
that the local dealers in nearly all
West Indian and Central American
ports have made overtures to furn-
lsh coal at reasonable increase
over its market value in the United
States. Not only will this keep
the price down for the Navy. but it
will open the market for the Amer.
lean article at ports where only
English coal is now found, "a the
dealers know that they cannot com
pete in prices aud continue to sell
English coal.
