UNABLE TO CHANGE
NAVY YARD ORDER
Secretary Daniels Explains
Reasons for Reducing Pay
of the Employees.
CANNOT GRANT REQUEST :
MADE BY THE MACHINISTS
Head of Department Says His Ac-
ton Conforms to the In
tent of Congress.

Secretary Daniels today notified the
representatives of the mechanics and
others employed at the Washington
navy yard that he regretted it was
impossible for him to modify in any
way the order recently issued, to take
effect tomorrow, reducing the pay of
employees at that yard from 7.S per
cent as increased in 1913 to an increase
of but 72 per cent, the reduction be-
ing made in order to permit the en-
ployes of the proving ground at Indian
Head to share in the appropriation of
$4,000 made by Congress for the in
creased pay Of employees of both insti-
tutions.
Secretary Daniels today made public
a letter addressed by him on the sub
ject to N. B. Atlas of the International
Association of Machinists, In which he
explains the views Of the Navy De-
partment in regard to the pending
wage question at the Washington and
Indian Head naval stations as follows:
"I was pleased to see you and the
members Of the committee in regard to
the question of the adjustment of
wages at the Washington navy yard
and at Indian Head. l have given con-
sideration to your suggestion that no
81
ington until the $4,000. appropriated
for the fiscal year from July l, 1915,
to June 80, 1916. to increase the wages
in both places has been expended. and
that the wage rate be then reduced for
the balance Of the fiscal year. unless in
the meantime Congress should appro-
pirate sufficient sum to continue the
present scale OF wages at Washington.
Unable to Comply.
II regret I cannot feel that authority
ia vested in me to adopt your sugges-
ton. The $4,000 was first appro-
priated in 1913, at the last session of
the Sixty-second Congress, and the en-
tire sum for that and the succeeding
years was used to give a 7.S per cent
increase to the employees (of the Wash
ington navy yard. 1t seems that Con-
gress intended that the appropriation
should be used at both Washington
and Indian Head, and at the last ses
sion of the Sixty-third Congress the
report of the House committee on
naval affairs contained the following
statement:
"It has recently been called to the
attention of this committee that no
part of said sums were used to pay any
increase of wages at naval proving
ground, Indian Head. Md. but was used
solely for the benefit of increase of
appears that the workmen at Indian
Head had no representatives on the
joint committee which recommended an
increase of pay. The Washington navy
yard did have representatives on said
committee.
"'The aforesaid amounts are con-
tinued In the present bill for the pur-
pose Of paying to the employees of both
Indian Head and Washington navy yard
such wages as. under the law. may be
determined by the wage board. upon
the approval of the Secretary of the
Navy, for each place

COTTON MANUFACTURES
CURTAILED BY GERMANS

BERLIN. via London. June 30.-The
military commandant of the province
of Brandenburg. in which Berlin is
situated. has issued an order, effective
August l. prohibiting the manufacture
of fabrics wholly or chiefly cotton for
nearly all ordinary purposes, such as
articles Of clothing. bed sheets. pillow
slips and table cloths.
The presumption from this order is
that Germany needs all the cotton
available for use in the manufacture
of explosives.
