All Mechanics Abandon Work at
Pennsylvania Plant.

The thousands Of employees OF the
Washington navy yard are manifesting
much interest in the big strike of machin-
lists and other workmen of the Bethle-

competition with the gun factory at the

for the navy The same class of work
is executed at both places.
Heretofore workmen at the navy yard
here were at a disadvantage, it is con-
tended, as the workers in the Bethlehem
factories were non-unionists and worked
longer hours for less pay than the work
men here. In estimating for work for
the navy this gave the Bethlehem people
an advantage, ii is saiG.
William III. Johnston, president of Dis

vessels that ever brought a cargo of
southern pine lumber to this city, COM

left here for Newport News or Norfolk
to load 400 tons of soft coal for jack
sonville, Fla.

lumber on deck and in the. hold, and
could have brought more but the depth
of the water in the Potomac channel and
in the harbor here would not allow her
to do so. This cargo has only been ex-
ceeded in size once In many years. The
ship Siren, which came here about fifteen
years ago, brought a few thousand feet
more. Owing to the poor facilities for
handling lumber here the vessel has been
in port about three weeks unloading.
