TO UNIONIZE NAVY YARD.
Majority Already Organized and
Unions Working to Gain Others.


Efforts are being made 20 bring all the
various crafts and trades employed at
the Washington Navy Yard within the
fold Of organized labor A majority Of
the men is already, through their separ-
ate organizations and the Central Labor
Union, affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, and these are endeavor-
ing to bring in their fellow wOrkmen.
There are over 4,000 men employed in the
naval gun factory, nearly one-half Of
whom are machinists of Columbia Lodge,
who have a perfect organization.
With the pattern makers. carpenters.
boiler makers, and molders, they form a
big majority. The object, however, is TO
bring all the employees together as a
composite whole for mutual betterment.
At present the blacksmiths and copper
smiths have no organization whatsoever.
They are making rapid progress, and. il
Is understood, are about 10 perfect an
organization and make application for en-
trance into the Federation. With them IN
the fold, the yard viii be a practical
working unit in all matters affecting
skilled labor in the big gun works.
The machnists working for Uncle Sam
have q separate and distinct organiza-
ton from all other Of their feIlow-cra IT'S
men in the city. Their organization is
known as Columbia Lodge. and it is
composed Of men working in the yard
alone. Consequently no outside influence
is felt in matters of deep concern to
them. II is understood they are the
prime movers in the scheme to bring in
all the employees at the yard.

CLAIMS MAN NEEDS THE REST.
DR.. Radcliffe Cites Physical Reasons
for Sunday Observance.

DR.. Wallace Radcliffe, pastor of the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church.
in response to the request of the National
Observation-Disclosures Union, preached on
the Sabbath question yesterday morning
from the words, "The Sabbath was made
for man" He said in part:
1T was not made for the Jew or the
Christian, but for humanity. II is not a
name for a day, but for an Observance
every seventh day after six days Of work
II is a means to an end.
Christ enjOins this observance so that
the body may be made better instru-
ment for the spirit. a more efficient cap
tain for the body. The microscope re-
veals that the usual daily rest does not
make the tired man entirely fit The
nights rest does not repair the days
waste. Man needs not only a night for
every day. but a Sunday for every week.
We cannot outgrow this need. The
strenuous life only intensifes II. Con-
tlnual fatigue IS increasing decay; disre-
gard brings disaster, and paralysis is the
answer TO defiance.
Your Sunday ledger discounts your
future. Those ffty-two Sundays you take
from the year are taken not from God
but from yourself"

REFUSES TO TALK OF WEDDING.
Mr.. Carlisle VIII Not Discuss Re
ported Engagement.

John G, Carlisle, former Secretary Of
the Treasury, whose rumored engage
ment and approaching marriage to Mrs.
Gertrude Tucker Logan, Of Virginia. is
at present occupying public attention,
positively not only declines TO say any
thing, but even refuses to be seen in
reference to the matter. He let it be
known TO inquiring reporters that the
public was not concerned about his af-
fairs.
Mrs. Logan is a daughter Of the late
John Randolph Tucker, Of Lexington,
and sister of Harry St George Tucker,
president of the jamestown Exposition
Company. As Miss Gertrude Tucker she
was considered a great beauty, and was
for many years one of the reigning bellies
of the Southern States. The home of her
father at Lexington was the center. as
long as he lived, of much typical old
fashioned Virginia hospitality.
II is reported from Richmond. the home
of Mrs. Logan. that there is no longer
any doubt that the marriage viii take
place, although the date has not yet
been announced.

ADVOCATES PUBLIC CONTROL
State Senator Howe, Of Ohio, Ad.
dresses the Y. M. C. 4.
Speaker Believes Washington Would
Be Benefited If Its Citizens Were
Allowed to Vote.

Municipal ownership in a tempered
form and public control OF public utility
franchises IN cities were advocated by
State Senator r. c. Howe. % Cleveland.
Ohio, in an address at the regular sun
day afternoon mass meeting at the Young
Mems Christian Association.
Mr.. Howe's subject was The Problem
Of the City" He reviewed the great
things accomplished by a number Of
cities. the general reform movement. and
said that present-day problems arise
from the desire for special privileges. He
offered TWO solutions, municipal owner
ship. and the control OF the franchise
privilege
BY the control Of the franchise privi-
Iege." he said. I mean any corporation
which finds II necessary 10 resort 20 cor
rupt methods to maintain itself ought to
be owned by the city. Great cities must
exercise home rule TO be free. and by
control Of the franchise privilege earn
the right to be free. The modern city in
order to improve its civilization must
look to the social betterment Of its peo-
pie. and has got TO do things on a social
scale.
The last century witnessed the develop
ment by the people Of the common bene-
fits OF nature. The struggle of the pres
cnt century is the turning Of these bene-
fits to the common good. In the cities
may be found the greatest suffering and
poverty but likewise the greatest wealth
There is also a sympathetic appreciation
of the best in life and a spirit of doing
things for the common interest"
Mr. Howe spoke Of the great rapidly
with which public opinion is formed to-
day. and its rapid capitalization into
action. He cited the recent movements
in Philadelphia, New York, and other
cities. He gave particular attention to
the many municipal Improvements, roof
gardens on the schools of New York,
the juvenile courts, and similar move
ments in all the big cities He said that
the general improvement lay in indus
trial and social uplifting rather than in
the uplifting of politics.
Following Mr.. Howes address, many
questions were asked by men in the audi
ence. One of these was whether or not
the city OF Washington would be bene-
fitted if the franchise were granted TO its
people as against the present system.
Mr. Howe replied that good men made q
better government, and vice versa; that
he had frequently heard that Washington
was the best governed city on the Conti-
nent, but, according TO the principle in
volved, it would be better if the people
kept their interests I'm their own hands
rather than be controlled by paternal-
ism. in answer to a question on munich
pal ownership, Mr.. Howe said that 1t was
not a question of whether it paid or not,
but whether It served its purpose.
The usual concert and other features
preceded and followed Mr.. Howes adj
dress. Next Sunday Prof. Mitchell, pres
ident of Richmond (Val College, will de-
liver the address.

The strong movement for a new street

IA free country, and we imagine that there
is no king. no nobility, no aristocracy in
this so-called republic We have not only
one king, but there are many. There is
the railroad king. the steel king. the oil
king; and there is the nobility Of the
money kings, who don't think of anything
but chasing the almighty dollar. and
this kind Of king Is the meanest Of them
all This money arist0cracy frames and
passes our laws, and elects our public
officials for us.
1t is a great mistake 10 thing thatwe are
compelled to work every day, every year
without end in order 10 support a lot Of

Federal court al New York; that his at

he has been forced into the undesirable
position OF being his own counsel from
the fact that he found it impossible after
sundry efforts and due diligence 20 obtain

FEARS FOR WELLMAN.

the noted Arctic explorer arrived here
from Christiania tonight. He intends to-
deliver lectures in Berlin, Geestemuendc,
Norderney and Ostend.
Speaking of Mr.. Walter Wellmans ex-
petition, Captain Amundsen made no eff
fort to hide his pessmlstic views regard
ing the attempt. He discouraged Mr..
Wcllman and his friends and spared no
effort to persuade them to postpone their
expedition one more year, or until GER
tain improvements which had proved sue
cessful IN the French and German bal
looms might be added to his OUTFIT He
said:
My opinion is that Mr.. Wellman's only
hope lies in the wind. a strong south
wind might carry him over the Pole and
land him in America or Asia, where he
would find settlements. Should his pro-
gross be slow the airship | am afraid
would be weighted down by crust ice and
he would land in most dangerous dis
trict from which a return BY dog sleds
would bc difficult.
I am confident airship will be con-
structed within the next ten years
which will make exploration of the Pole
possible"
