CADETS A Z COMPLAINT,
Secretary Daniels Hears Story of
Employees in Atlantic Coast
Navy Yards.

6AP4OyCS IN AGlant1c Coast
Navy Yards.
Washington-Two hundred rep
resentatives of Atlantic coast navy
yards employees found a sympa-
thetic nearer in Secretary Daniels
when they appeared at the Navy
Department to submit various
grievances. The men complained
about socalled scientific" man.
agement systems an dthe lack of
uniformity in wage scales, and in
sisted that they should have repre-
sentation in the wage boards of
the various yards.
The secretary promised to give
careful consideration to all of the
propositions presented.
Navy yard employees ought to
have the information upon which
the wage board bases the compen-
satlon which they receive" he said
at the close of the conference. 81
am not, however, prepared to say
that the employees should be repre-
sented 0 nthe wage board"
His callers had declared that a
board made up entirely of naval
officers, could not consider ade-
quately the claims of the civilian
employees.
When demands were pressed for
uniform compensation, Mr. Dan
iels Gale dattention to the fact
that Congress had provided that
navy yard employees shall receive
the same compensation as paid by
private establishments to the vari-
Gus crafts in the same vicinity.
The Norfolk yard employees. were
dissatisfied because they received
ISIS money tina nthe men at the
Philadelphia yard for the same
grade of work.
There were present representa-
tives from the yards at Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Newport,
Annapolis, Norfolk, Charleston, S..
c., and Washington.

WILL VISIT CANAL.
President Tells Goethals He'll go
as Soon as Congress Adiourns.

A6a
Washington, June 12-President
Wilson will visit the canal zone as
soon as Conrgses adjourns, he told
Colonel Goethals, chief engineer of
the canal today, but did not haz-
ard any guess as to when that
might be. !.
Colonel Goethals said he expect
ed to let water in about October l.
President Wilson expects to re-
frain from any attempt to organize
the permanent government of the
zone until the canal is practically
completed. When he visits the
isthmus he will not only make a
careful examination of the great
waterway as an engineering ac-
complishment, but probably will
taken up with Colonel Goethals
the general plan of organization
Ct a civil government for the zone.
Preliminary to the President s Wis
it, Secretary Garrison probably
will make a hurriel trip to the
canal.

ABOUT THAT ROAD MONEY
Had Assurance From P. o. De.
partment Before Mcdowell Peo-
pie Voted Bonds That $4,000
Would Come.

Ou1u OOu0.
Asheville, June 14.-Some fear
has been expressed in this section
of the State that the government
would not grant $4,000 for good
roads construction in Mcdowell
county, because of the fact that
the highway does not form a por-
ton of a continuous road upon
which the entire appropriation
from the government for good
roads work is to be spent. These
fears will be put at rest by the
following statement of Governor
Locke Craig:
cit is true that the Postofice
Department has said that all OF the
$40, 900 set apart for North Carroll
ma must be spent upon one con-
tinuous road. Before this order
was made, I wrote to the Postofice
Department and to Senator Sim
mons stating that the people OF
Old Fort had made arrangements
to raise $4,000 on the assurance
by the Postofice department that
the government would contribute
$4,000 towards the building OF
this road.
"In response to this letter | re
ceived letters from the Postofhce
Department and Senator Simmons
saying that the government would
Stand by this proposition and
would devote the $4,000 on terms
that appear to me satisfactory and
that I presume are satisfactory to
the people of Old Fort township.
I sent them a copy of the terms
upon which the money was to DC
furnished by the government and
have heard no objections. There
is no doubt, therefore, in my mind

HIS VISIT
The President Makes Another Trip
to the Capitol-The Senators

Out.
Washington, June 12.-Presi-
dent Wilson made another trip to
the capitol taday but most of the
Senators whom he intended to see
were. absent, playing golf, watch
ing the baseball game or otherwise
bent on recreation as the Senate
was not in session.
The President did not send word
he was coming, decided on the
spur of the moment to go to his
"other office" as the President s
room in the capitol is being called
after he had started away for an
afternoon s ride. He had a list of
q Senators whom he hoped to talk
with about the appointment of all
industrial commission
Only 6 answered call when he
arrived and the President remain
ed but a little while. During that
time, however, besides talking ap-
pointments he discussed with Sen.
ators Chamberlain and O'Gorman
the status of the arbitration trea.
ties which are up for renewal, and
which he still hopes may be re
newed.

SLAsHING TARIFF BILL.
Announces That Nearly
Every Item of Metal Schedule
Has Been Reduced From House
Rates.

Has Been Reduced From House
Rates.
Washington, D. c., June a.
The transfer to the free list of the
tariff bill of iron and steel raw ma
terials, with an estimated dutiable
value of more than 5000 900 a year
was approved today by the major
ity members of the Senate Finance
committee. This increased the
Senate's addition to the Under
wood free list to an aggregate an
nual loss of $2,000,O 900 in revenue,
making the total estimated annual
revenue loss from the free list
about $27, 100000.
After an entire day spent on the
subcommittee report of the
metal schedule Chairman Simmons
announced it had been widely cut,
nearly every item of the schedule
Being reduced. To the free list
were added pig iron, Zero manga
nese, steel blooms, slabs and bill
lets. On all finished steel pro-
ducts an average reduction Of 10
per cent was made from the I'm
derwood rates. Lead, zinc and
aluminium were left unsettled, to
be disposed Of Monday.

COURTS ACTION SUSTAINED.
Secretary Daniels Mitigates Sen
fences Against Naval Officers.


Washington, June 12.-Secre-
tary Daniels today approved the
findings of the court martial which
tried Captain Roy G.. Smith, COM
handing officer, and Lieutenant
W. W. Smyth, acting navigator,
and found them guilty of neglect
Of duty in connection with the
grounding of the battleship Ar
kansas on Ceiba Bank, South of
Cuba, several months ago. The
Secretary mitigated both SEN
tences, however so that Captain
Smith will lose only ten numbers
in rank instead of twenty, as re-
commended by the board, and
Lieutenant Smyth will lose five in
stead Of ten.
1t was further ordered that Cap
tain Smith be continued in COM
mand of the Arkansas, and the
Lieutenant Smyth be released
from arrest and restored to duty.
C1emency for the Captain on ac-
count of his excellent record, has
been recommended by six of the
nine members of the court, Rear
Admiral Blue, Chief of the Bureau
CT Navigation and Secretary Dan
iels' full counsel of aides. Seven
members of the court and the
council of aides made similar re-
commentators for the lieutenant.

STILL < REVISION.
Senate Leaders Determine to Take
No Chances in Action on Tariff

bu1
J Washington, Especial. 1.-THE. !.
Democratic "Steering committee
Of the Senate was called into ac-
ton to clear the way in that body
for the tariff revision bill. AS a
result of the meeting and of re-
Iports received from the Finance
committee members of the eSteer-
ing committee said tonight they
believed the tariff bill would get
back into the Senate before end
of the week.
Senator Kern called party man
ayers together after reports had
become general that the Demo-
cratic tariff caucus would have to
be postponed until the Senate's w.
Virginia coal strike investigation
had been completed. It was de-
termined to attempt to secure an
agreement between theSenate and
House on Sundry Civil bill now in
dispute; to end Senator Jones'
single-handed flibuster, which has
delayed Senate business for over a
week, and to remove all other OBJ
stacles.
The Steering committee was
informed by Senator Thomas, who
is also a member of the Finance
committee, that the tariff bill
Tcould be completed and returned
to the Senate next week. Several
other members of the Finance
committee, however, expressed
doubt tonight as to the probability
of this being accomplished.
Would Defer Caucus.
Recommendations were made
early in the day by several Demo
Gratis prominently identified with
the administration forces that the
Senate caucus be deferred until
Senators Swanson, Shields and
MARITIME had returned from their
work with the Investigating COM
mittee in West Virginia. The mar
row margin by which the admins
tration forces control the Senate,
in support Of the President wool
and sugar program makes it nee
essary, in their opinion, to have all
Democrats present at the caucus
and it is possible that the Demo
cratic members of the committee
will be called from West Virginia
to participate in the caucus. It is
proposed that the caucus shall be a
binding one, pledging every Sen
ator to vote for the bill as APPROX
ed.
Troublesome Schedules.
Free sugar in three years and
free wool, the most troublesome
schedules of the tariff confronting
the party, advanced another stage
without suffering alteration, when
the Democratic members of the
Finance committee approved them
as they passed the House. These
schedules are now up to the DEM
ocratic caucus. That is another
reason why the caucus will not be
called until all the Democrats are
present because the caucus vote
sugar and wool will end all con-
troversy as to whether President
Wilson's tariff policy is to receive
the party support. The party
leaders anticipate that not more
than three Senators will refuse to
support the schedules, and that the
bill can be passed with the vote of
the vice president.
