Navy Yard Men WIN Organize.

According to dispatch from Norfolk
the employees of the navy yards of the
country are TO be organized into power
full labor body. 1t ostensiblY has for its
object the promotion of the interests of
the government owned shipyards, as OPP
posed to the private yards. There are
those, however, who see in the move
ment a determination TO so thoroughly
organize all branches of the trades EN-.
plOyed in the yards, and even the cler-
ical force, that it would be possible to
dictate wage scales to the Navy Depart
ment.
Those behind the movement declare
that it is solely intended as an active
force to combat the efforts Of the private
shipyards.
Under this standard they propose to
enlist the cooperation of all the business
bodies aud other organizations of every
place within whose Dor ders there is To-
Gated navy yard. At the Norfolk navy
yard the movement had its birth in the
organization by the navy yard machinists
of league.

not conducive to good health.
The board has decided to drive
three new wells, which will give an
abundance of well water for all pur-
