ON WESTERN UNION PLAN
Ell Paso Photographers Adopt Sarcastic
 Resolutions

At today's meeting of the Fl Paso local, c. T. U. A., No. 6s, the follow ing resolutions were adopted:
 Resolved, That We will not deal with Robert c. Clowry in the settlement of the strike; that if the Western Union Telegraph company wishes to employ us, that they must come to us as indi. vidual stockholders of said Western Union company. We do not desire nor will we treat with any representative of this company.
 It is further resolved that while we deeply sympathize with the widows and orphan stockholders in this sufferings and hardships, but we consider that they should have considered these mat ters seriously before causing this lock out
 Members of the local union who are out on strike continue to leave the city to secure positions elsewhere, and it is now declared that there are only about a dozen strikers out of the thirty five who left the keys two weeks ago in the city at present. Some have gone to California, some to Mexico and oth- CTS to points in Texas and New Mexico and it is stated that there are jobs for all who wish to leave the city and take railroad positions. ''Should the strike be ended now, it would take five weeks to get all the old men in their positions and maybe some of them would never come back, " said an officer of the union today.-El Paso Herald.

NAVY MARKsMANsHIP HIGH
Records of Atlantic Fleet Regarded as Superior to Marks Which Earned
 Kings Decoration

For several years past the navy de- partment has not regarded it as good policy to acquaint foreign nations with the performances of the American naval gunners. It was felt that the publica tion of good record made by our men would only serve to stimulate the gun ners of other navies to better their own performances, which in turn would re- quire additional effort on the part of the American gunners to maintain their superiority.
 But the publication recently of re- port that during target practice on the British Channel fleet, in the presence of King Edward, one gun made nineteen hits in twenty.one shots, thereby earn ing decoration from the king, has naturally touched the pride of some American naval officers. They have looked into the records of the American gun pointers during the annual target practice just closed, and have found no reason to fear a comparison with the gunners of any other navy. The fact that the important elemtns of speed and caliber of gun are lacking in the repor tof the British performance makes it difficult to arrive at an exact com parison; but, from the number of shots fired, it is assumed that the British gun was not more than six inches in ealiber and probably less.
 Taking some of the six-ineh guns in the Atlantic fleet, one gunner on the armored cruiser Maryland made eleven shots and eleven hits in one minute. A gun on the battleship Ohio was fired at the rate of 10.sl per minute. A six inch gun on the battleship Maine has a record of a perfect score at the rate of l0.4l per minute, and the battleship Missouri s best record was l0.30 shots per minute, each lodged in target.
 As compared with small guns, these six-ineh records become insignificant. three -pounder on the battleship vir- ginia made twenty shots and twenty hits in seventy-fve seconds and another gun made ten shots and ten hits in twenty-two and one-half seconds, re- markable average of 26.67 shots and hits per minute.
