NAVY YARD MEN OUT
Twenty-Five MOulders Are
Laid Off.
CONGRESS IS SLOW TO PROVIDE
Employees Say Naval Appropriations
Committee Had Promised 10 Rec
"mmend an Appropriation of Two
Million DoIIars-PIenty OF work,
but No Funds 10 Pay the Men.

Twenty-Five moiders were laid OF az the
navy yard yesterday for an indefinite
period Lack OF funds is given as the
cause OF the action.
The laying off of the men may be- at
tributed to the failure OF Congress 70
pass deficiency appropriation bill that
would keep The navy yard running until
the end OF the fiscal year. June 80. AT
that time the new appropriations may
be drawn upon, and the work az the yard
resumed TO its full capacity.
It is asserted that there Is plenty OF
work at the yard to keep the molders
busy If there was money 10 pay them.
when Work Was slack.
a short time ago, when work was slack
at the navy yard. II was planned 10 dis
miss a number os the men. This order
was revoked by the President. who or
dered tn emen TO be furloughed a certain
number Of days each week. In this way
the hardship was shared equally by the
employees.
In the meantime it was confidently ex-
pected that the condition at the navy
yard would be noticed by Congress. and
an appropriation made that would keep
the force at work But the Naval Ap-
preparation Committee apparently has not
been cognizant of the conditions.
According 10 the navy yard men. If Con-
gress were TO pass a bill appropriating
s. 600 000 and the local yard would get It's
share Of that amount. the fun force OF
employees could be kept at work.
Under present conditions. unless aH ap-
preparation is soon made. the men viii
have 10 wait until the fiscal year ends,
when the new appropriations can be
drawn upon.
They Depend Upon Congress.
The men hope Congress VIII pass a
deficiency bin that will relieve present
conditions.
1T is mater 10 which Congress should
give immediate attention" said one
molder last night we have our homes
here, and all our interests are in Wash
ington. Il viii be practically impossible
for all of us 10 get work al our trade in
this city. There is plenty Of work at the
navy yard, if there was only money
70 pay the men. AS the work must be
done. il seems 10 me the Naval Committee
should recommend an appropriation as il
has said it would do"
