HIGHER WAGES IN SIGHT.
Hope Held Out That Machinists at
Navy Yard Will be Paid
More Money.

The announcement BY Assistant Sec.
retary OF the Navy Winthrop that
higher wages will be paid I portion OF
the machinists in the Washington
Navy Yard made many Alexandr.ans
happy yesterday for more than fifty
men from here are employed as ma
chinists in the goyernment's big plant.
The request Of the macliiEists for a
general increase of pay was refused,
but instead, it vas decided that por-
ton of the men, engaged on hish-gradc
work, be paid the highest rate, 81 a
day, at present confined TO very few
men.
The Navy Department gave out 4
statement. which follows in part: THE
percentage Of machinists at the WASH
ington Navy Yard receiving the high
est rate OF pay is aunormalIy great
approximating rib per cent Of the total
number OF machinists employed. This
percentage is far greater than the per
centage ia any civil establishment COM
parable to any extent to the Washing
ton yard.
The department. believes. that the
rating OF machinists by classes having
been abolished. and from the fact thai
certain machinis.s at the yard are un-
douhtcdly doing specialized ordnance
work OF high character. it would be
justified in authorizing the promotion
to this pay OF a certain number OF ma
chinislS who are 7 ow practically con-
tinuously engaged in such special work.
This promotion will be made from
time to time Dy the commandant until
there shall be a rational proportion es-
tablished throughout. AT no time shall
there be more thau one;liird OF the
maehinists OF the highest paw, nor
more than 4 total OF two-t. t..rds in the
first two highest pa id ratings combined.

ahnnt the big textile mills today the
city authorities insisted that they had
the situation in complete control.

methods.
The mill owners declared they had
the strike broken and that 10000 OF

most Of the high class workers were
still out and would remain out until

Foreign O'licc Dcn"rInced.

London, Jan. Ii The liberal press
today heartily applauded last nights
mass meeting at which numerous
speakers, resenting all political parties,
bitterly denounced the Foreign Office
for an acQuiescing to Russia's demand
in ousting W. Morgan Shuster. the
American, from the Treasurer-ship OF
Persia The News says editorially:
"A decided change OF spirit is neces-
sarv in the foreign office. Sir Edward
Grey's policy abroad should be full
iilImeut OF the liberalism that exists at
home instead OF being menace to The
World"
Other liberal journals voice similar
views.
