Progress in automobile design during
the past two or three years has been
directed more or less by engineers abroad
and in America toward the possible elimi-
nation of the transmission gears. The
elimination of a series of four or five
gears will do away with the unpleasant
rasping noises and features to which the
driver is subjected when changing from
the direct drive. The ideal car is one
that has a range of two to fifty miles an

MORE PAY IS DEMANDED
NAVY YARD MECHANICS MAKE
PLEA TO WINTHROP.
Helped Out by House Naval Com
mitteeman-System of Adjust
ment Said to Be Unfair.

Representative A. l.. Bates of Pennsyl-
vania member of the House committee
on naval affairs, headed a committee rep
resenting the mechanics employed at the
Washington navy yard in a visit to Act
ing Secretary Winthrop at the Navy De-
partment today. The committee included
j. W. Mcconnell. H. T. LeClair and
Thomas f. Carroll Mr.. Bates was the
strong appeal for an increase in the
wages paid at the local yard.
written protest was filed against
the report of the naval wage board
recently submitted. which report was
adverse to any increase In the present
scale of wages on the general ground
that such wages were equal to wages
paid for similar work in private es-
Establishments in the gena1al vicinity of
Washington. 1t appears that the wage
board based it's action on data obtained
in the cities of Washington, AleXan-
risburg, Wilmington. Del, and Phila-
delphia.
Mr.. Bates and his associates contended
that the naval board should have based
the schedule of wages at the local navy
yard on the wages paid for similar work
i'm the District of Columbia exclusively
and that it was not fair to the navy ward
mechanics to rate their wages on labor
conditions in other communities, es.
pecially those as distant as Richmond
Harrisburg, Wilmington and Philadel.
phia.
Another point made in favor of in
creased wages at Washington was tina.
the cost of living is higher here than III
the other cities named and also that the
present. rate of wages in Washington was
fixed when the cost of living was much
less than it Is at the present time.
Acting Secretary Winthrop told the
delegation that the department would
give the matter further consideration.

Crane Was Entirely on
Other Matters.

tons by withdrawing at this time.

There's no resignation on the card, l
can tell YOU was Mr.. Ballinger's reply
to this. Continuing, he said:

to make my rest permanent, but it will
not be SO long as President Taft is salts
fed l met Crane yesterday morning
through no arrangement of mine, and
the matter we discussed-politics, of
course-WaS nothing which interested me
directly at all. Mr.. Crane wished to con-
suit me on the matter and came to where
l was, that's all. There's nothing mys-
terious about it. l guess he's gone back
east, now.
"All this vicious attack by unscrupu-
lous men backed by newspapers with
even less scrupleS goes off my back like
water off a ducks back. That never will
induce me to resign.
The Secretary said he intended to leave
for the west later in the evening.
