Gates Discrimination Tariff.

of the American merchant marine was
advocated in the House yesterday by

Meyer Talks Freely.

At yesterdays session of the committee
even the stenographer was barred. The
Secretary discussed freely with the men,
bers his plans for the navy.
He said that it was his purpose that
the United States should not follow in
the wake of any other nation in naval
advancement, but that in essential par
| ticulars it should take the lead The
Secretary did not refer in this instance
particularly to naval strength in num-
Der of ships or armament, but to various
features of improvement of the efficiency
of ships and guns.
The giant battleship which Secretary
Meyer wants the United States to build
naval experiments with 14-inch guns
have not been completed. The de-
partment desires to know the result of
full experiments before planning for the
armament of the giant dreadnought.
Tentatively, it is planned to arm this
great battieship with a battery of four
teen l4-inch guns Of the latest type.
Purpose Of Bigger Drydocks.
The Secretary said his plans for the
enlargement OF all the dry docks OF the
country, as outlined to the committee
some weeks ago. were made in con-
temptation of the great enlargement Of
the battieships. He wanted the docks
built TO accommodate ships of great size
The. committee has already indorsed the
Secretary's plan for dock enlargement.
The naval appropriation bill is expected
10 carry the several million dollars
necessary for that purpose.
1t was tentatively agreed yesterday by
the committee that the naval increase
this year, based on the Secretary's s
recommendations, shall be as follows:
The 2I.o0O-ton battleship, equipped with
either l. or 14-inch guns.
One repair ship.
Two golfers.
Five submarines
The submarines are for the Pacific
coast. and are the first of a fast rieet of
those vessels which will be provided with
in the next few years. The plan to place
ten additional submarines on the Pacific
coast next year was favorabIy consd-
cred.
Pacific Coast Appeal Needed.
The Pacific coast congressional deIega-
tion, which told the committee some
weeks ago of the practically defenseless
condition of the western coast against
foreign men-of-war, appealed strongly to
the members. The submarine fleet has
been decided upon.
These submarines will be of the fastest
yet launched, and will be capable of max
ing a speed under water OF twelve knots
per hour Recently this government has
acquired better knowledge than other ma
tionS possess, it is claimed, in steering
these submarines while driven at hign
speed
\ member OF the committee said that
this government was in possession of un-
official information 10 the effect that
Japan was already laying the keel of two
great battieships approaching the $1,000
ton limit. He added that the tonnage OF
the great battieship under consideration
by the United States would depend to a
great extent upon the weight of the bat
terieS of the huge 14-incn guns which
would be placed on this ship

Strikers Censure Troopers.

The executive committee in charge of
the strike issued a public statement in
which the state police service here was
roundly condemned.
The statement says:
THAT peaceful citizens have been de-
MED their liberty, imprisoned and mur-
deIed in cold blood when not single
overt act has been committed nor a
threat made The executive committee
stands prepared TO aid and assist the po-
lice authorities and furnish any number
of men We can secure to establish law
and order and preserve peace.

Labor leaders who are here organizing z

Foreigners Buy Up Arms.

This fatal shooting aroused ugly
feeling among the foreign element on
strike at the steel works. The police
say that every revolver on sale In this
town and in Bethlehem has been pur-
chased by foreigners, and that they have
gone so far as TO buy shears and fashion
them into dirks for future use The
bodness of the foreigners can be judged
from the fact that one of them actually

The streets of the town were crowded

through mere curiosity and gave the po-

lhrongs.
While the troopers were awaiting rein
