REPAIR WORK ON WARSHIPS.-The
naval authorities have estimated that II
would require an increase Of $'Ooooco year
to carry out the provision inserted oy the
House IN the naval appropriation DILL tha'
no part Of the appropriation authorized Oy
this act shall be expended for the pay OIL
enlisted men or seamen, not includlns
commission and warrant officers, while 40
ing repair work belonging to any recognized
Trade on battleships Of the navy when such
bsttIeships are locked or laid UP at any
navy yard for repairs" Secretary Meyer
has sent a special and urgent request 10
the Senate TO kill this clause. While TINS
,,rouston Is Intended TO benefit civilian en-
ployes at the navy yards, II is held oy
the Navy Department that the effect OF
@he requirement would be to delay repair
york on ships Of war and 10 separate
y,esssls from duty, 10 the detriment to the
servicA
II Is insisted by the naval authorizes
thai thin work done on board ship at sea
and sometimes when a ship is at q navy
1ard Ga as much OF an evolution as coal
ing shin or painting and docking. BESIDES
Yhe proposed legislation to any such extent
as the advocates OF the provision ciallh
There u only 80 much money 10 Dc eA-
pended annually for repairs TO naval SHIPS
and this fund is apportioned among inc
NayS, wards AS a matter Of fact the en-
fire appropriation is usually exhausted De-
fora the end of the fiscal year, and IN such
Instances the civilian employees must DO
f,uioughed until funds are again aVallaole'
n will be seen therefore that the CLAUSE
IN tho naval bill brings nothing aooltiohai
An tia way Of wages TO the civilian en-
ployea and does not result in an increase
in the list Of workmen.
