Continued from Page One.)

President Tobin asserted today tina
a general strike would call out every
driver or operator of wheeled vehicles
in the city except motormen on the
elevated railroads, the trolley lines and

Mr. Gompers arrived from Wash
ington today. to attend the meeting
and at its close made the following
statement:
This strike is a peculiar one. It is
the 1lrst time in the history of union
ISM where the men have been willing
TO arbitrate questions even including
the recognition Of their union. Asked
as to the probability of a general
strike. he said: Il hope no serious
industrial disturbance will occur hut

situation will react against them. 7

Returns to Capital After
Trip Of 1858 Miles
During Which He Inspected Navy
Yards and Naval Bases.
Says Atlantic and Gulf Coasts Have
too Many Navy Yards.

Washington, Nov Back from an
inspection tour which covered over
1868 miles. Secretary of the Navy
Meyer reached Washington today, con-
ferred with President Taft and left
in the afternoon for Massachusetts,
where he will vote Tuesday. Mean
time, he announced that there We're
too many navy yards on the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts and that he expected
to make some changes in the work of
the Mare Island navy yard. He de-
clined to discuss the Pacific island
yards until after he had consulted ex-
pertS in the service.
Secretary Meyer was enthusiastic
over the Guantanamo station. The
shore there, he said. is low enough for
buildings to be erected without eXpen-
sive preparation and there is one place
at which large floating docks can be
located with only about 10 feet of nee
essary dredging. He found that in
some Of the navy yards the buildings
were erected at greater expense than
was necessary. At Guantanamo. how
ever. the expense will be minimiZed
and single building of concrete and

Mr. Meyer favors having only one
navy yard on the Gulf coast of the
United States. that to be supplement-
AIRY to the Guantanamo naval base and
supplementary to the Panama fortifi-
cations There is no intention to es-
tabliSh a base on the isthmus nor is
there any intention, as reported, of
placing the construction and pay corps
in the line of the navy.
The secretary strongly opposes send
ing the battleShip fleet to the Pacific
coast until after the Panama canal is
completed. and believes the present
facilities are inadequate for it,
While declining to indicate what
navy yards We're to be abolished. he
admitted that he favored establishing
two dry docks on the Pacific coast.
These i'll all probability will be sit
uated within easy distance of San
Francisco.
