EXPLANATION is GIVEN
OF INCREASE IN WAGES
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt Of
Navy Department Says Living
Here Is High.

Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of the
Navy Department, who has direct super
vision over the force OF civil employees at
all navy yards and stations, today made
a statement in explanation Of the action
of the department in directing a fiat in
crease OF 7.S per cent in the wages of
mechanics at the Washington navy yard
for the six months beginning July last.
THE action" he said, lis based on
the increase provided for in the appro-
pr1ation act Of March / last, which add
ed $4,000 for this purpose. following
a report of a board, consisting Of three
naval officers and three yard workmen.
to the effect that the cost Of living In
Washington was greater than In various
other cities in the vicinity. This amount
allows for an increase Of about 7.8 per
cent in the wages Of the mechanics.
Because Of the action Of Congress and
because the regular period for the re-
vision and adjusting OF the wage sched-
ule does not occur until January 1 next,
the Secretary determined on a fat in
crease pending that date. Prior to jan
uary a complete investigation of the
questions Of re-rating and Of wage adj
1ustments will be made at all navy yards,
and greater uniformity will be sought.
Washington yard will, in all probability,
be greatly changed, some trade ratings
receiving increases and others reductions,
and at the same time 1t is hoped that
the general efficiency will be increased by
retaining and promoting the most capable
men and employing none but men who
have shown fitness and efficiency

STEAMER CALVERT STRANDED.
Boat of the NJ, D. & v Line Hits
Sand Bar in Coan River.

While coming out of Coan river July
the steamer Calvert of the Maryland,
Delaware and Virginia railway line on
the Potomac river went aground and
at last reports the vessel was still hard
and fast on the shOal. The vessel had
been sent from Baltimore to aid the
steamers on the route between this city
and the lower river landings and
Baltimore in handling the heavy freights
from the lower river. and she was on
this service when she went into the
Potomac tributary and stranded.
Several fishing steamers that make
their headquarters in Coan river pulled
on the Calvert, and her sister ships.
Three Rivers and Northumberland.
have also made efforts to float here,
but without success. The managers of
the line have dispatched the big tug
Chicago from Baltimore to the COan
river and she will remain by the
steamer until she is floated. The Cal
vert is lying in a sheltered position
and will not be damaged. it is thought,
by her long stay on the sand bar. She
will probably be fioated on the coming
Of the first full high tide.

SCOW FOR RIVER WORK.
Will Be Taken to Lower Potomac to
Be Used as Lighter.

A large scow which was built at this
city about a year ago for L. A. Clarke &
Son, and which was sent up the Poto-
mac to Tuscarora, Nd, and did service
in ferrying lumber and timber laden
teams from the woods in Virginia to the
railroad station in Maryland, is to be
used as a lighter at a lower Potomac
point, and will take railroad ties from the
shore to vessels loading in deep water.
The lighter was brought to this city from
Tuscarora by way Of the Cumberland and
Ohio canal several weeks ago, and for the
past week it has been on the marine rail-
way at Benefits, being caulked and put
In good repair. The schooner John Fisher
will take it to its destination down river.
One of the large lighters belonging to
the Columbia Sand Company Of George
town. which was out on the marine rail-
way at the Alexandria shipyard to be re-
built, was completed yesterday and put
overheard. The lighter is now practically
a new craft, and will be used In bringing
sand and gravel from the digging ma
chines working on Greenway fats. to this
city.
