practically in opposition to the petitions
Of 10000 union workingmen. who have me
mOrialized Congress that American war
ships be constructed in Government yards
Admiral Bowles appeared before the
House Committee on Naval Affairs and
gave the Representatives the benefit OF
his researches. He said that he had
hitherto always been in accord with the
views Of the Iaboring men. but that his
opinions had undergone somewhat OF a
change after an investigation Of the sub
ject.
Higher Cost of Labor
It costs the Government 40 per cent
more for labor than it does private en-
terprises Besides. he said the workmen
in the Government yards have fifteen days
leave annually. as well as seven annual
holidays.
II the holidays and the fifteen days
leave were to be abolished the cost OF
labor to the Government might thereby
be reduced to something like he cost Of
the labor the private employers, but
otherwise he did not think the proposition
feasible.
Discussion Likely to Follow.
The workingmen do not take kindly to
a reduction In the number OF holidays.
and it is believed that Admiral Bowles'
argument viii arouse considerable discus
sion in che labor world.
