Confident of Success.

Confidence of success was expressed
this afternoon by Nelson P. Alifas, Of
Columbia Lodge, who acts as a repre-
sentative OF the interests of the various
yards outside of Washington.
I'VE are not asking the Government
for a fiat rate" said Mr.. Alifas, but
We do believe that we are wholly justi-
fed in requesting that the minimum be
raised in the various yards, with the
exception Of Washington, of course
where we received the raise last July"
Committees from the various yards
have Investigated conditions in their To-
calities thoroughly, and our claims are
based on what is paid machimists in
enterprises that demand the skill re-
quired in the navy yard. We call par
ticular attention to machinists employ
ed by the railroads. Take their aver

DANIELS TO HEAR
WAGE COMPLIANT
Washington Navy Yard En-
pIoyes Oppose Cut Recon-
mended BY Salary Board.

Hodine that the recommendations OF
the wage board of the Navy Depart
ment for a reduction Of cents in the
salaries of the 1000 or more men EN-
ployed in the Washington Navy fard
are unfair. representatives OF the men
toGay are preparing to go before Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels and ask
that the scale adopted several months
ago, and now obtaining, be maintained
The recommendations of the boards
already have been placed In the nands
of the Secretary of the Navy. They
effect practically every yard in the
country The Washington workmen,
however. are about the only ones that
will suffer a reduction. In several IN
stances increases have been recon-
mended.
December IS is the date Secretary
Daniels has fixed for hearing the re-
ports of representatives Of the wash
ington Navy Yard men.
Increase Is Asked.
Committees representing 1000 ma
chinists in the eight navy yards in the
East will meet Secretary of the Navy
Daniels this month, presenting the re-
quest that there be no cut in the pres
ent wage schedule in Washington, and
d
made to the days pay now received ir
the other yards.
The committee from the washington
navy yard will meet the Secretary De

tee, December Il; Portsmouth, n. H..
December 9: Boston, December 10; Ne"
York. December 16; Norfolk, December
19; Charlestown, S. c., December 2
Arrangements for a conference with the
Newport committee have not yet beer
completed.
Members of the Washington commit
tee will go to Secretary Daniels de-
termined to convince him that the
recommendation of the wage board OF
s cents in the present wages should
not be adopted. The present scale
ranges from 1886 minimum to Si.0S and
s432 a special maximum. This scale
was adopted last July and constituted
a raise similar to that for which the
of the other wards are now work
ing.
.,e men in the navy yard in Phila.
Gelphia now getting from $3.50 to $35:
want a 2i-cent raise, bringing the mini
mum to S3.04 and the maximum to -. 10
Their argument is the same as thai
raised in other yards; that a general
raise in the minimum wage is justifiaolt
and also a general increase all along
| the line.

SINGERS MAKE GOOD
Wehrman Ladies' Quartet Well
Known In Many States.
Four Cultured Vocalists and an En-
tertaining Reader Secured
for Chautauqua.

There is some charm about ladies'
quartet that always attracts crowd
and holds ft-especialfy # the vocal
lists are all good singers. People in
general usually expect women to be
good singers. and perhaps that is the
reason why woman soloist must
have an exceptionally fine voice in or.
der to attract much attention.
A good ladies' quartet is not often
found, for 1t requires not only good
individual voices, but these voices
must be trained, and months and
years Of practice in singing together
Is necessary to produce perfect har.
mony and an easy appearance on the
platform. Such an organization is
the Wehrnnn Ladies' Quartet. All of
the members play the piano as well
as sing, and they present both solo
and ensemble numbers.
Miss Jane Wrate. the reader accom-
panying this quartet, ranks high
among lyceum readers. Her appear
aace. excellent voice and charming
personality. together with her wide
experience, peculiarly ft her for her
WORK. These five young ladies' will
add much to Chautauqua program on
the opening day.
