BIG REDUCTION AT THE
WASHINGTON NAVY YARD
NINETY MAonINIsrs DISCHARGED
Due to n Lackgof Work Owing 10
the Cessation OF Hosttiities
With Spain.

Ninety machinists were discharged yes
terday from the gun shops at the navy
yard
Lieut.. Comdr Rohrer, who is temporal
rily in charge of the yard, said this morn
ing:
There is nothing extraordinary about
the discharge of SO many men. IL was
decided some time ago that reduction
in the force would be necessary on &C
count of lack of work. At the outbreak
of the war with Spain all of the yards
were placed under hurry orders and con-
sequently many extra men We're employ
ed. Now that the work of the ordnance
department has assumed normal proper
tons there is nothing for the men to do.
"All of the men discharged yesterday
We're in the department of breech me-
chanism and were those who had been
employed at the outbreak of the war. AS
The evening times., 1898-12-16

these men were only given temporary en-
ployment there is no significance TO be
attached to their discharge
Chief Time Clerk Lee stated that the
reduction In the force only amounted TO
per cent of those employed. Several OF
the discharged machinists stated that
they were not at all surprised at losing
their places, as there was very little work
going on in the shops.
It is said that there will be still great
er reduction in all departments OF the
yard in a few days.
Superintendent Rohrer declined TO make
any statement regarding the matter.

Got a Hustle on themselves.

About year ago one of our local
unions reported that the members
were nearly all out of employment and
that those who were working were ON
a limit, and that the town was over
run with non-union cigars and that
they were thinking of returning the
charter. We advised them to hold on
to the charter and to appoint a live, en-
ergetic label committee. We have
just received letter from the same IN
ion saying that all members are work.
Ing and on full time, and that they
are now negotiating with the last and
only non-union shop in town, with
good prospects of its coming into the
union at an early date.-Cigar Makers
