FLEET MAY 60 TO
 SOUND

WASHINGTON. D. e. Secretary of the Navy Mctcalr has returned from California. He referred today to the Pacific coast trip of the Atlantic fleet as q dead issue He said he had been out of touch with the navy department for SO long that more details had been made public here than had been com municatcd to him. He declined to dis cuss the Japanese question.
 Secretary Mctcalf found that while the government had only one dock on the Pacific coast that was capable of taking hattlcship, there were num- bcr of private docks tEat might be available if needed Of these three were at san Francisco The only gov cnmcnt dock was at Brcmcrtou, and this location made it likely that the entire fleet would go as far north as Puget sound before returning ro At- lantic waters.
 Concerning this probability Secretary Mctcalf said that there was water enough at Hrcmorton to take in the entire fleet at one time.
 The labor question on the coast, the secretary said, was becoming more sc- rtous every day. and he mstauccd the fact that the navy yards at Mare island and Bremcrton Were working far un- der their capacity by reason of the labor famine. He pointed out that in the West farm hands Were heinz paid as high as $G a day. The rransporta- tion question was also found by the secretary to be serious.
 He said the railroads could not be- gin to haul the crops and the passcn- ger train service was very heavy.
