Think President Ignored Them
in Not 0verruIing Reduced
Pay Order.
TO MEET MONDAY NIGHT
AND REACH A DECISION
Employees, on Learning Today That
Mr.. Wilson Has Left City, Pc
tition for Meeting.

Navy yard employees are up in arms
today at the apparent ignoring by
President Wilson Of their appeal to
him to overrule Secretary Daniels ac-
tton in reducing their pay. They have
practically determined to wait no
longer for negotiations. but Monday
night at q meeting in the Naval Lodge
Hall, 4th street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. southeast, will reach a decision as
to what they shall do.
When the employees learned this
morning that the President had left
the city without acting on the plea of
the yard machinists they circulated a
petition for a meeting. This Is the
regular procedure To get a special
meeting they must have a petition with
a majority Of the names of the mem
bers of the "locar' attached. This is
turned over to the president, who calls
the meeting.
Shortly after 9 o'clock this morning
the names of nearly all the machinists
of the Washington yard were attached
to the petition, and 1t was given to
Stuart G. McAlister. president Of Co
lumbia Lodge. International Associa-
mediately called the meeting, when
the whole matter will be threshed out
and the machinists will take a deter
mined stand.
Think President Ignored Them.
Nelson P. Alias. president of district
forty-four, International Association Of
Machinists. declared that the employees
of the yard were this morning in any
thing but an easy state of mind. He
declared that there was no other feel
ing but that the President had abso-
lutely ignored them in their appeal for
help, and they have decided to wait
no longer to take action than is neces-
sary to call a meeting. He intimated
that the men were not in a frame of
mind to be put of. Mr.. Atlas said
that at Monday nights meeting. which
will be a closed meeting, international
officers of the association are expected
to be present to give their views OF
the matter.
However, q letter went out from the
White House this morning saying that
the President, on account Of being
pressed with other matters, was unable
to take up the complaint of the navy
yard machinists, but that he would re-
ceive a committee of three or four
Of them upon his return and go over
the whole matter with them.
When informed that the letter wal
on it's way to him, Mr.. Alifas declared
that the call for the meeting would
stand. and that the letter would be
read to them. He declared that when
