PROTEST AGAINST CUT
IN "SHORE LEAVE"
Sailors and Marines Resent
Order Keeping Them in Navy
Yard Overtime

Sailors and marines at the Philadelphia
Navy Yard are aroused over an order
posted by the commandant which pre-
vents them from leaving the yard at
League Island until after the civilian EN-
ployes are all dismissed. So indignant
have the enlisted men become over the
recent ruling that they have dispatched
a letter to the Secretary Of the Navy
calling his attention to what they call
curtailment of their liberty and an addi-
tional discrimination against the men in
uniform.
The commandant's order was caused by
a protest from the civilian employees that
they were unable to find places in the
trolley cars at the entrance to the yard
owing to the presence of large numbers
Of enlisted men who were then going on
shore leave. Most Of the civilians en-
ployed at the navy yard finish their work
between 4:15 and O'Clock. The work OF
the enlisted men comes TO daily end at
about the same time, and as the policy OF
the officers of the various ships has been
to permit their men as much shore leave
as possible. especially those who live in
this city, II followed that both civilians
and enlisted men BWelleu the crowd tnat
flowed from the navy yard gate each day,
Additional cars are sent TO the gate
daily to take care OF the additional de-
mands but since the disappearance OF
the jitneys there has been dissatisfaction
and discomfort experienced by both
classes OF Government employees.
The matter was brought to n climax
when delegation of civilian employees
called on Commandant Knapp to ask for
relief They suggested that enlisted men
be allowed to leave before the civilian
employees were at liberty for the day, or
else prevent enlisted men from leaving the
yard until after 5 o'clock. on Wednes-
day an order was posted on tine Kansas,
Minnesota, Columbia and Brooklyn re-
questng that enlisted men be given leave
either before AIS or else not until after
5 o'clock.
The sailors and marines took umbrage
at the order. but under the regulations
they were unable to do anything but
make q personal appeal 20 the Com
mandant 10 rescind II. This they did
not do In writing to the Secretary OF
the Navy OF their grievance the COM
mittee which drew up the letter signed IL
