MAcHINIsTs PERTuRBED.

Washington.-The maehinists, through
their district organization, have filed a
protest against the new wage schedule
and system of specification to be inaugu-
rated at the torpedo stations, and they
have been assured that the local wage
board will take the matter up for con-
sideration 1t seems that the old wage
schedule provided five rates OF pay for
machinists, with 1910 as the maximum
and $3.50 as the minimum. The new
schedule increases the s3.16 grade men
to s40O, and three other classes receive
an increase of cents per day, the 1886
rate remaining the same. New ratings
for specialists have been established
which range from $2-24 to s3.04 per day.
1t is feared this reduction in the mini
mum from $256 to 1924 VIII be INSULT
ciently attractive to induce workmen TO
seek these positions with the further re-
suit that work will be so divided and sub
divided as to offer hardly any induce
ments for all-around expert machinists.
At present there are about 200 machin-
lists and 40 apprentices employed at the
station. The general executive board OF
the International Association of Machin-
lists also has the matter under consider

wearisome and persistent fight to ac-
