Navy Yard Labor
Problem Considered.

Washington, July 9.-Commandants
of the Atlantic coast navy yards gath
cred at the navy department here, to-
day, to confer with Secretary Daniels
and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt on
navy yard labor problems.
The principal discussion revolved
around the question of civilian repre-
sentation on the various wage boards
which navy yard employees have long
sought. Secretary Daniels already has
indicated that he favors the PROPOSE
ton, but the commandments vigorously
oppose it. Questions of economy were
also discussed. No definite conclusions
were reached at today's conference.
During the discussions. Sec. Daniels
emphasized his belief that every navy
yard in the country should be equipped
to build some kind of war craft. He
did not favor building all warships in
government yards but expressed the
belief that the government should be

of vessel used by the navy.

mountain was clcaked. today, by white

like wind blown scarf, but as the
darkness fell the mountain blazed

Mount Tamalpais lies on the north
side of San Francisco bay. Easy of
access by ferry and electric lines and
one of the beauty spots of California,
its foot hills have become dotted with
villages, while on its slopes are hun
dreds of country homes of wealthy
Californians.
Every week end swarms of holiday
seekers tread the trails of the noun
tain and tourists from all over the
country are familiar with its ascent.
The mountain is covered with heavy
underbrush. For two days the fire
charged through this brush, climbing
to the highest peak where it threaten
ed the Tamalpais Tavern and West
Point Inn.
Today, the fire ate its way to the
west and into the Red Woods at the
head of two canyons on the east and
north leading to the towns of Mill
Valley, Corte MADEIRA and Larkspur.
Fire at the edge of Muir woods tenn
porarily was under control.
Blythedale canyon, leading to Mill
Valley, is lined with country places.
The most exposed of these is the
beautiful estate known as the Garden
of Allah, owned by Ralston Lovett
White and valued at s1.000,000. To-
night there was hope of saving y,
but it still is in danger
Reliance on saving Mill Valley and
the other towns lies precariously, to-
night, on a trench varying in width
from 65 to 1876 feet, which, 1t is HOPED,
will keep the fire from further prog
ress down Baltimore and Blythedalc
canyons. Once the canyons are fairly
ablaze it will take superhuman work
to save the habitations at their
mouths.
