board. If an officer committed an offense

before the police trial board If 1t Is con-
sidered 1t should show that the defendant

EVERY WHEEL TURNING
NAVY YARD EMPLOYEES AT WORK
THIS AFTERNOON.

Every wheel was turning in the wishing
ton navy yard this afternoon and not a
man walked out When the whistle blew
for 1890 o'clock It was seen that all the
tags were up. except those of worltmen who
had been regularly excused from duty. This
condition was due to cheering information
that had been received by the men OF the
naval gun factory earlier In the day. though
Mr.. William O'Donnell, chairman Of the
legislative committee of Columbia Lodge of
Machinists. from Mr.. James O'Conneli,
PRESIDENT Of the International Association
OF Machinists
Mr.. O'Connell. accompanied by Mr.. Sim
mering. representing the navy yard en-
ployes, called on Secretary Bonaparte yes
terday and presented the matter for his
consideration. They claimed that as
matter of Justice and equity the workmen
in the yard should be accorded the privi
lege of Saturday half holiday in COM
ron with other employees OF the govern
ment.
Secretary Bonaparte gave the delegation
a respectful hearing and today notified Mr..
O'Connell and Mr. Simmeriug that he has
not yet had time to fully consider the ques-
ton OF reducing the hours of labor at that
yard on Saturdays during the summer and
consequently does not feel justified in maxi
ing any change in the existing status.
The Secretary, however, promised them
that he would give the matter his personal
attention and act upon 1t certainly by the
middle of next week.
The matter has been in the hands of
President Roosevelt for several weeks and
Secretary Bonararte desires to confer with
him before taking final action.
Mr.. Simmering called at the department
again today and after his conference with
Secretary Bonaparte he returned to the
yard, and if there had been any prospect of
walkout rumored yesterday, it was

Bonaparte they viii be given the half hok-
