DELAYS a CAUSE FOR ANXIETY

No graver cause for national concern over the
security that navy affords can be easily imag-
ined than the protracted delays that mark the
progress Of every vessel toward completion
when taken in connection with the date named
in the contract Contractors are apparently
Unconcerned over the heavy penalties which
we're imposed, but renitted with singular uni
formity by Secretary Long. The delays are
variously attributed to the rise in steel due to
general prosperity TO strikes to excessive scru-
tiny on the part of government inspectors OF
ma teriaI and finally. TO changes in plans during
construction. The chief sinners in this instance
are the submarines, which were all contracted
for twenty-four months ago. on August %.
1890 TO be delivered in eight months Their
hulls could be built in any OF the hundreds or
boiler works in this country, nine-tenths Of their
fittings are purchasable out OF thousands or

DENOUNCED LABOR UNIONS
President Eliot of Harvard Causes a
Surprise at the Economic Club
of Boston

Boston, Nov. lot was to the great
surprise Of the members of the Economic
club OF Boston at their banquet tonight
that President Eliot of Harvard denounc-
ed the labor unions of the country as OPP
posed to the education Of young men, and
what he termed their fight against the
development OF manly instincts"
In closing he characterized the strike
breaker of ''scah" as he called him as
"a good type of the American hero"
The speakers included John A. Hobson.
the English political economist; Frank X.
Foster of the American Federation of
Labor; the Hon. Charles Francis Adams,
and Prof, Frank Parsons, president OF the
National Public Ownership League
President Eliot was brought to his feet
by discussion Of the subject which was
industrial Battles and the Public" He
said present conditions indicated that
many years must pass before the labor
question is satisfactorily solved Both
sides must take concession and adopt some
plan-as for instance that in vogue in the
great educational institutions OF the coun-
try, where the professors arc ENGAGED or
trial. then on probation and finally wher
they have proven themselves competent
and trustworthy. retained for life This
plan, however he said, Is not feasible
at the present time because both tn,
employers and the labor unions were il
Il WHY illlhll4hIs
The principal objection to the labor
unions, from the educators point of view
he said. was their objection to young mer
lCoomin" competent mechanics. Thal
they do prevent this il evident from the
fact that all unions attempt TO limit the
number of apprentices employed in any
industry The right to labor is considerec
the most sacred right of the American
citizen.
President Eliots objection to the labo
| unions, was, he said that the prime oh
| ject of the union seemed to he to worl
as few hours as possible, produce as littl'
as possible for the service given. This
| attitude was in effect nothing more THAI
a constant fight against the development
of manly instincts.
He protested against violent measures
| by strikers to prevent non-union men fill
ing the vacant places.
| President Eliot said In closing that hi
opinion now is the same as given years
ago and it IL that the modern 'scab' Is
good type of the American hero
