HAD NO MARINE GLASSES.
If Watch Had Been Provided With Them
Titanic Might Have Avoided Iceberg.

Washington, d. c., April "a. Like the
missing horseshoe nail that cost mon.
arch his kingdom, the failure to pro,
vide binoculars or spyglasses for the
lookouts on the Titanic was one con-
trihuting cause of that ships loss and
with it the lives of ! 900 persons.
Two witnesses before the Senate in
vestigating committee yesterday agreed
on this. They were Frederick Fleet. a
lookout on the liner, and Major Arthur
Godfrey Peuehen. Canadian manufactur-
er and yachtsman, who was among the
rescued passengers.
Fleet acknowledged that if he had
been aided in his observations by a
good glass he probably could have spied
the berg into which the ship crashed in
time to have warned the bridge TO avoid
it. Major .Peuchen also testified to the
much greater sweep of vision afforded
by binoculars and, as yachtsman, said
he believed the presence of the iceberg
might have been detected in time to
escape the collision had the lookout
men been so equipped.
It was made to appear that the blame
for being without glasses did not rest
with the lookout men. Fleet said they
had asked for them at Southampton
and were told there were none for them.
One glass, in a pinch, would serve in
the crows nest.
Major Peuchen criticised in strong
terms the lack of experienced sailors
on board the Titanic. He said that when
the call to quarters was sounded not
enough of the crew responded to under
Al f,, 1axt Il
filing the boats. Furthermore. he said,
no drills had been held from the time
the ship left southampton, although it
was customary to hold such drills every
Sunday.
Herbert J. Pitman. third officer of
the Titanic, told of his failure to turn
back the lifeboat, in which he and his
passengers were idly drifting, to attempt
the rescue of Others when the Titanic
went down.
Shuddering at the recollection, he said
the cries for help made zone long, con-
tnuous moan" The passengers insisted
that to 60 back to aid would mean
their destruction, he said. so that after
starting in the direction of the cries,
he rescinded his orders and waited for
the dawn. Twice he begged to be
spared the recital of the facts, but
Senator Smith pressed him.
The committee hope before tonight
there will be fixed the question of re-
sponsibility for the collision with the
iceberg. Frederick Fleet lookout on the
Titanic. told of pulling away from the
steamer in lifeboat. He said he heard
faint cries for help, but did not go back
to the sinking ship, as the quartermaster
in command ordered him to keep on
rowing" The witness said they were
mile from the wreck when the Titanic
sank. Mr.. Fleet was then excused. Sen
ator Smith said the purpose of the com
mittee was "to get all the facts attend
ing the catastrophe"

wages, they return practically defeated

to the terms offered them the very day
they left the mills, an increase ranging
from five to twelve per cent. The com
pany refuses to recognize the United
Textile Workers of America and like
wise to treat with any shop committee.
The request for Is per cent increase
in wages in all departments is likewise
rejected. The company agrees to em-
pioy an interpreter and treat with the
foreign employees individually
The strike has been in existence for a
little less than four weeks. Signs of
violence were at first noted and the
militia forces of Utica and Mohawk.

Under the protection of the militia,
strikebreakers and employees of the mills

entered the mills during the last week in
increasing numbers each day. The work

Additional help was being secured from
the eastern states, representative of
the company being in New England at

strikers saw their positions being filed
by outsiders and decided to accept the
offer of the company which was equal
to the increase granted in the mills in
Utica a month ago.
