REDUCTION IN PAY
NAVY YARD MECHANICS TO AP-
PEAL TO SECRETARY.

There seems to be some Misrepresentation
as to the action of the Secretary of the
Navy with respect to the schedule of wages
at the Washington navy yard for the cur
rent calendar year. AS explained at the
Navy Department today, the Secretary
directed that the rate of pay of ma
chinists, molders, pattern makers, black
smiths and armature winders for 1906 re-
main the same as that for the year just
closed. That action was taken by Secretary
Bonaparte despite the fact that the board
of wages recommended reduction in each
case.
The Secretary of the Navy approved, how
ever, the reductions in pay recommended by
the wage board In the cases OF copper
smiths, timers, pipe filters, carpenters,
coremakers and boilermakers Representa-
tives of these trades have protested to the
department against the reduction in their
pay as unjust and their protests will re-
ceive the personal consideration of Secre-
tary Bonaparte on his return from Charles
ton next Friday. 1t is said at the Navy
Department that the men whose pay has
been reduced comprise only about one
fourth of the entire force employed at the
navy yard
The coppersmiths and pipefltters were re-
dueed 16c. per day, from $3.50 to S3.o4; car
penters, 16c. per day, from $3.50 TO $50;
cc per udS, 1lolii So'o1 ~ %~'Oo'
boilermakers SC. per day, from 1912 to
$3.04
The workmen at the navy yard state that
they had no warnings that the change In the
wage rate was to be made by the wage
board. They are at loss to understand
why it should be made, and claim that the
mechanics at work in the Washington navy
yard are the lowest paid in the country. 1t
is stated that the mechanics of the trades
affected, having appointed a committee to
carry the matter before the Secretary or
the Navy will have the support of the other
trades employed in the navy yard against
the reduction. The reduction has stirred up
much feeling in the shops, and is the sole
topic of conversation among the workmen
just now.

sessions demand the securing of a larger
navy, Mr.. Lucy declared. and ii should be
regarded as protection and not as a
sword to destroy.
The Figures Questioned
Mr.. Mattingly, the concluding speaker for
the negative, attacked the accuracy of the
figures given by Mr. JenaI as to the present
size Of the United States navy. The speak
er quoted Secretary Taft as saying that
the Panama canal is sufficiently protected
by the land force there. Mr. MattIngly
went on to say that we now rank third
in naval strength and that policy OF in
creasing the navy would be fneXpedient
and unjust. The contention that a large
navy should be maintained to insure peace.
the speaker declared, is all wrong.
1T might be just as correct to say that
a Kentucky colonel armed with pistols and
bowie knives is a dove of peace Mr.. Mat
tingly added, "or that our colored brother
in southern Maryland should not be allowed
to vote unless he was armed with IA zor
As an evidence OF peace, we should not
make the mistake Of militarisn," the speak
er argued He added that he had faith I'm
the patriotism of the American people and
then read from an extract which he said
seemed TO have been inserted in the recent
message OF the President to Congress, on
the subject of the navy, that seemed 10
him to have been included therein for
the express purpose of helping the negative
to win this debate"
The navy, which is used only for display,
the speaker went on TO say, is responsible
for our big public debt It was further
declared that when the ships now building
are completed the expenditure of 100000
600 year will be necessary for the main
tenance of the navy, and a larger navy
would be unnecessary, inexpedient and I'M
just.
Mr. Jenal, for the affirmativ spoke brief
ly, in rebuttal In substance he said that
the people are prone to draw the elephant
of necessity too small, and the flea of mil
itarism too large.

unfortunate shipmates.

WHOLESOME MEAT ASSURED.
Result of Government Inspection at
the Abattoirs

In the annual report of the chief of the
bureau of animal industry Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture much attention is given
to the subject of the control of contagious
diseases of animals, among which may be
mentioned Texas fever, tuberculosis black
leg, hog cholera, scabies in sheep cattle
and horses; CHAMBERS rabies etc. In the
case Of blackleg it is stated that the vac
cine treatment has brought much benef-
cent results that the mortality In the
$40. 7SS cattle vaccinated and reported in
1904 amounted to less than one-halF of
/ per cent, whereas seven years ago IT
reached as high as 10 and IS per cent of
the young stock. Substantial progress in
the treatment of the other diseases is re-
ported.
Much increased work has been done bv
the bureau during the past year in inspect
ing and dipping animals for scab Over
% 100000 sheep were inspected and nearly
II 100000 dipped. The inspections of cattle
were 14,0S5 267, and the clippings $50, 1894.
Reference is made TO the work of the
bureaus inspectors stationed at the diff
ferent abattoirs and other places through
out the country, who, 1t is stated inspect
practically all the meat that enters into
the Interstate and foreign commerce of the
country, as the result of which, the report
states the people are assured wholesome
meat products In our markets.
The report also speaks OF the experi-
men:s In feeding and breeding being CON
Quoted by the bureau, such as poultry
preceding IN Maine, experiments in animal
nutrition steed-feeding experiment in Ala
bama, and an experiment to develop an
American heavy harness and general-pur-
pose horse from trotting stock in Colorado
Other experiments in immediate prospect
are turkey breeding in Rhode Island, and
one with the Maryland experiment station
and the National Geological Park, to de-
velop hybrids between the zebra and the
mare.
Considerable attention also, the report
says, has been given the subject OF dairy
products a number of important practical
questions being involved
