mutinous navy. Congress, meeting III
extraordinary session, decided to meet

scntcd yesterday, including general am

In complete control, trained the guns
of the warships on the capital.
What the ultimate effect will be on
discipline in the navy is matter OF
concern. The immediate effect Is to
give the sailors increased pay. fewer
hours of service and less work through
the recruiting OF additions to tue
crews and to abolish corporal punish
ment in the fleet.
