are a disavowal of the sinking. as

NAVY YARD
WAGE SCALE DISCUSSED
Secretary Daniels confers With a
Committee Representing
Machinists.

Secretary Daniels this afternoon Is
comforting with a committee represent
ing the machinists employed at the
Washington navy yard. in regard to
the proposed revision of the wage scale
at that yard, as a result Of a recent in
vestigation of labor conditions at large
munition factories in Pennsylvania.
That investigation was made by the
local wage board by special direction
of the Secretary, at the instance Of rep
resentatives of the machinists' union,
who asserted that wages at the gov
ernment yard averaged lower than
those paid by private establishments
for work Of a similar character, Com
mander A. L. Willard. U. S. NJ, chair
man of the wage board. was present at
this afternoons conference to supply
any details on the general subject not
covered in the report of the board. As
sistant Secretary Roosevelt also was
present. The machinists' committee
was headed by Mr.. Alias. president of
the machinists' union.
Confer at 4 O'Clock.
The conference is to begin at 4
o'clock It is expected that Secretary
Daniels then will announce the action
Of the department on the report of the
naval wage board. and also hear the
views of the representatives Of the
machinists with respect to the wage
schedule as revised to meet current
labor conditions resulting from the
European war. Although there has
been no official statement to that effect,
the belief prevails that there will be
a general increase of wages at the local
yard to make them correspond with in
creases made in large private estab-
lishments having war contracts One
report has it that the wage board has
recommended an increase Of "a cents
a day in the pay of first and second
class machinists. A member of the
union labor committee said that such
an increase was too insignificant to
meet the situation. as it would give a
frst-class machinist at the yard but
$4.24 a day. when the rate outside was
IS day and in some cases more.

Sacramento. Jan. 24.-Gov Hiram W

lature. He indicated that il the Shartel
bill, introduced in the Assembly yes

ing clause. passed the Legislature, it
would be vetoed.
The elimination Of the three-year leas-
ing clause is sought by labor organiZa-

If adopted it would nave the effect Of
prohibiting Japanese and other alien
formers from leasing land which they
sre prohibited from purchasing.
Gov johnson issued the following
statement.
Two years ago the Legislature passed
an anti-alien land bill with a clause
permitting leasing for a period of three
years For many years various anti
alien land bills had been presented to
the Legislature and all OF them, with
out exception, permitted leasing for
longer period than three years.
What transpired at the last session
of the Legislature, when the anti-alien
land bill was before us. is fresh in the
memories OF all Californians All Will

readily recall the attacks made upon
us then: how it was Vehemently as
serted that our action gave offense to a
friendly nation and assaulted its dig
nifty: that contumeliously We We're at
lacking and endeavoring to destroy a
treaty of our nation, and now the di-
rect prophecies We're made for the fu-
ture.
The California Legislature proceeded
on its way, and without giving just
cause of offence. without assaulting
the dignity of any people, and despite
ar opposition such as never before hal
been presented in any state Legislature,
enacted a statue clearly within our
right, which embodied our nation s
treaty and upheld the rights and the
dignity Of the people of the state of
California.
This year there is no occasion for
further action. No valid reason exists
why our alien land bill. pissed with so
much difficulty two years ago, should
again be presented in the Legislature
for amendment, and there are many
reasons why it should not. 1t is my
hope-and to this end, so far as con-
sistently l can, I shall lend my aid
that the existing law be not disturbed"
