SECRETARY MOODY HAS
ESTABLISHED PRECEDENT

Right of Appeal.

Secretary Moody yesterday made al
important ruling IN connection with the
employment of labor in Government
navy yards. by which the employees are
to be allowed TO present directly 10 the
board OF wages any questions affect
ing the rate OF wages.
This matter came up at League Island
Navy Yard. Philadelphia, but the Sec
rotary says his decision is TO form =
preceden, that will apply to all the navy
yards Of the Government. He says in
his letter TO the Commandant OF the
League Island Navy Yard.
Il desire 10 establish the following
precedent. namely. That a committee
OF workmen OF any trade in the yard, by
making application TO the commandant.
shall be permitted to appear before the
board OF wages and present data con
corning the rate Of wages paid to work
men IN their trade in the vicinity OF the
navy yard. and make explanation con
corning conditions under which the work
is performed, and that the data pre-
scented and statements made shall be
given careful consideration by the hoard
in submitting its recommendation OF
wage rates.
Heretofore il has been the custom at
navy yards for workmen having com
plants TO make in regard 20 the wages
paid to appeal to the foreman OF the
yard, who presented such data as he saw
At to the board of wages. The Score
tary's ruling gives the workmen in the

Capt. Whelan was at one time
an instructor in the state School
for the Feeble Minded, and while
connected with that institution
made study of the various phases
of epilepsy. That he still can re-
call at will what he learned there
was evidenced last Tuesday. On
that day, as the men we're going
from the dining room to the cells
at noon, he noticed that the lines
on the face of one of the inmates
were drawn in a peculiar manner,
and turning to the Deputy who
stood nearby he predicted that the
man in question would have an
attack of epilepsy in a few min
utes. Before the crews had left
the dollhouse for the shops the un-
fortunate man was taken with a
violent fit and had to be removed
to the hospital. The curious part
of it was that Capt. Whelan timed
the attack to the minute.
