FOR BETTER PLACES
To Work for Private shipbuiIdins
Companies at Big Salaries.

Washington, July 14.-Secretary
Daniels today accepted the resigna-
tions Of Naval Constructors wiiSiam
B. Ferguson and John E. Otterson,
both of whom are said to have been
offered positions with private ship
building companies at salaries far ex-
ceeding their pay as officers in the
navy.
Legal experts of the navy hold that
the president may use his discretion
in accepting designations of officers
Mr.. Daniels decided that Constructors
Ferguson and Otterson should be per-
mitted to leave the service because
they had fulfilled agreements to serve
at least eight years entered into when
they were given special education at
government expense after finishing
their course at Annapolis.
In accepting the designations of two
army ordnance experts yesterday,
Secretary Garrison said he believed
the officers could better serve the ma
ton by aiding in the development of
private guns and munitions plants
Secretary Daniels explained, however,
that this view had not been consid-
cred in connection with the cases of
the two constructors

Thinks Germanc Influences Back of Trouble
Leaders Say Ridiculous"

Bridgeport, Conn, July 14@Whi1e
some thousand or more machfnfsts en-
ployed in and about the Remington u.
NJ. c. plant were jubilant tonight fol-
lowing the announcement that the arms
company had granted voluntarily the
eight-hour work day without reduc-
ton in pay, there is little likelihood
that this action on the part OF the COM
pany will alter in any way the impend-
ing strike situation
The struggle. according to union ON
cials tonight, will be fought out on the
original demands-that the millwr1ghts
shall become members OF either the
machinists' or ironworkers' unions.
The whole question will be placed
before Major PenfieId of the arms
company at 10 O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing. when q committee Of the mill
wrights will seek conference with
that official.
MiIlwrights Stick to Demands.
The millwrights held a spirited meet
ing in Machinists hall tonight,
voting to a man to stick by their
action of yesterday IN going on strike
until such timo as the metal trades is
given Jurisdiction over them
The situation was further complicat-
ed tonight when, following conferences
of officials, it was intimated in certain
quarters that the hod carriers, hoist
ing engineers and members OF the sheet
metal workers union would 90 out on
srrike tomorrow at the arms plant in
sympathy with the iron workers who
went out on Monday. This could not
be verified. but 1t would not be In the
least surprising that any one or all of
these workers would cast in their lot
with the iron workers and millwrights
now out.
Maehinists VIII Fight Carpenters.
Headquarters Of the various unions
were alive with activity today. Among
the machinists there was considerable
rejoicing over the granting OF the eight
hour day, but after the first flush OF
victory was over. members OF the un-
ion declared themselves as grin1y de-
termined to fight TO the end to win q
victory over the carpenters in the
matter of the millwright Jurisdiction
Including the strike OF the Pardee
Construction company there are now
close to 800 men out
The announcement that the Remfng-
ton company had granted the eight
hour day spread like wildhre TO the
other shops Of the city, and II these
others do not follow suit the chances
are strongly in favor OF strikes in any
one of these plants Saturday morning
These, with the men employed in
the Remington plant, would swell the
toral. in the event of a general strike
to about three thousand men.

EXPECT PRESIDENT in
WASHINGTON TUESDAY
For General Cabinet Meeting-von
5ernstorff to Call on Secretary of
State.

Washington, July 14.-While there
were no outward developments today
to indicate what progress was being
made here toward framing an answer
to the last German note on the sub
marine warfare, 1t Is known that OFF,
Gals are at work setting down views
on the situation in definite form for
presentation to President Wilson on
his return.
The general belief is that the pres
ident win be here for regular cabi-
net meeting next Tuesday and that he
may bring with him from Cornish, N.
H, q memorandum or rough draft Of q
note to be sent to Germany. He will
exchange views first with Secretary
Lansing, who 1t is believed also has
mapped out a draft Of g. note.
Decision on the policy to be followed
probably will be reached at the cabinet
meeting and the new note may be
completed by the end OF next week.
Before the president returns. Count
Won Bernstorff. the German ambas-
sador. will call on Secretary Lansing
to explain at length the viewpoint of
his government. The ambassador rec
commended to his foreign Office the in
clusion in the last note of those para
graphs expressing the hope that the
United States and Germany would
work together for the adoption of the
principle of freedom of the seas. He
places much cignifcance on the ex-
pressed willingness Of Germany to fol-
low the lead of the United States on
this question and thinks the way is
thereby open for the United States to
mediate the entire controversy on the
rules of maritime warfare as they af-
feet neutral rights. The ambassador,
it Is understood, believes his govern
ment would accept a tender of good
offices that had for its object media
tion as between Germany and Great
Britain where the rights of neutrals
are involved. either in the carriage of
contraband or the safety of passenger
travel.
Secretary Lansing has not set date
for the conference with Count Won
Bernstorff. Mr.. Lansing explained to-
day that he had not yet completed his
examination of the German note and
was not ready to discuss it with the
ambassador.

MOTORS FOR AERoPLANEs,
ENGINES FOR SUBMARINES.
Two Of the Most Pressing Problems for
the Civilian Advisory Board.

Washington. July IA. - Secretary
Daniels and Thomas A. Edison will
talk over the proposed navy bureau OF
invention and the civilian advisory
board, which Mr. Edison Is to head. to-
morrow night at the latter's home In
Orange, N. ].
Mr.. Daniels said today he expected to
get Mr.. Edison's views about some Of
the men to be invited to join the ad-
visory board. In the meantime he de-
clined to discuss names of other in
ventors and experts he might have in
mind.
Explaining his plan to utilize the in
ventive genius Of the country in meet
ing navy problems. the secretary said
his idea was that the civilian advisers
should not be limited to passing upon
the merits OF suggestions from the
service, but should take the initiative
when deemed advisable when seeking
solutions for immediate questions con-
fronting many engineers In this con-
nection he indicated that the most
pressing problem just now was that OF
developing gasoline motors for aero
planes and engines for submarines Of
more efficient and powerful types than
have yet been perfected in the United
States.
Mr.. Daniels does not contemplate
regular meetings OF the advisory board,
as he thinks that would mean too
great a demand upon the time Of men
busy with their own affairs Only
when an important definite problem Is
presented win the whole board be as
sembled. On lesser questions fndivid-
ual members might be asked for ad-
vice In matters within their particular
field
On pressing problems, such as de-
vising q means OF defense for battle
ships against torpedo attack, the ideas
of the whole membership would be
sought
