signed by Chairman Leo ]. Winiech,
the manufacturers are criticised for
turning a deaf ear to every PROPOSE
ton of arbitration which has been
made by public bodies. The state
ment follows:
81. The attitude OF the manufac-
turers has made it impossible so far
to approach any settleemnt with
them. Without at all passing upon
the merits of the differences between
them and the strikers, much might
be criticised in attitude of the man
ufacturers in refusing arbitration,
mediation and even discussion. "A
decent respect to the opinions of
mankind should have required of
them at least a courteous bearing to
the committee Of judges and other
public bodies who have shown an in
terest in the settlement of the diff
Guilty. The arbitration law is an ex-
preston of public policy of this state
in favor of the principle of arbitra-
ton and of industrial peace 1t would
be, therefore, part of good citizen
ship, which obeys the law in spirit as
well as in letter, for al lconcerned to
cooperate to that end as far as prac-
ticable..
''2. The leaders of the strikers
have not, however, gone as far as
they might in making intervention
by this board possible. They have as
yet failed to perform the one act
which would have given the state
board the jurisdiction and power to
compel the appearance of the man
ufacturers and the disclosure of all
the facts in the case on both sides.
1T takes the application of only
one of the parties to confer the stat
utory jurisdiction and powers upon
the board. If jurisdiction were OBJ
tanned and the manufacturers still
persisted in their refusal to submit
their side, expense for attorneys fees
or incidentals would not be required,

board says would have forced the
manufacturers into arbitration, was
refusal to secure a petition signed by
twenty-five men now at work.
The statement of Grossberg that
twenty-five men already on strike
can sign a petition for arbitration
puts a new face on the matter. 1t
should be news to union officials, who
have not been seen by members OF
the state board since the attorney
outlined the new program.
At every step of the strike the
union representatives have made
strenuous efforts to secure arbitra-
ton. Before the council and the
mayor they appeared and expressed
a willingness and eagerness to pre-
sent their troubles to an impartial tri-
bunal.
They got no satisfaction from the
council because the clothing hogs ig-
nored the aldermen-who were pow
erless to enforce arbitration-and all
they got from the mayor was an in
vitation to "go home and behave
themselves.
The principal reason the state
board was turned down originally
was that strike leaders believed it
would be bad move to send men
back to work in order to have petit
ton signed. Now new way is
opened.

road. which owns a large part Of the

When the resolution creating the COM

Chairman Clark of the public buildings

Guy Mason, OF the Commission. de-
clared last night that the Commission
was now working on the B. & o. prop
erty and expected to reach a decision
as to its value before the end of the
year. He declared that had the Depart
ment Of Justice taken off Of the hands
of the Commission much of the routine
work OF investigating titles, the job
would have been completed in three
months.
Mr.. Mason also declared that the idea
of the investigation was not to effect a
saving on the small property holdings.
but to discover whether the condemnation
Jury had Disseminated in favor of the
Baltimore and Ohio holdings. Neverthe-
less. the fact Is that the valuation on
small private holdings has been cut right
down the line. and that the difference
between the condemnation award and
the prices offered by the commission rep
only a part of the loss to the
property owners, whose holdings have
lain idle and unavailable for use now
for several years.
Mr. Mason explained last night that
the commission Is In no sense a con-
demnation board, but merely Is en-
powered to offer owners of the desired
property what, In the judgement of the

that the commission would welcome a

Dreadnought Nearest Ideal
Type Of Warshiip, Says Daniels,
But Others Also Are Useful
Secretary Report to Congress- Holds that Balanced Con-
strucon Units Rather than Size, Is Better Program
British Fleet Example Of Distributed Fighting Power.

From the lessons of the European war,
the Navy Department has reached the
conclusion that the "Dreadnought as
nearly approaches the ideal' as a war
ship. according to a report sent to Con-
gress yesterday by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels. The department. however, re-
commends 'balanced'' construction
program. holding that 1T is decidedly
better to increase the lighting units in
numbers rather than size
The report was submitted in reply to a
provision of the last naval appropriation
bill asking the Secretary to inform Con-
gress as to ''the building of four war
ships OF the type. power and speed. which

knowledge gained from the prevailing

on the sea: also to report in the light
Of that war the value and uses in naval
warfare of aeroplanes. dirigibles. balloons
and submarines"
Submarines Not "Preponderant."
After reviewing the uses Of submarines,
the Secretary said:
MY conclusions are that an adequate
number of submarines must be included
in any well-baianced project OF new con-
struction. but that they have not
demonstrated tndl tney possess pre-
pondcrant value over other requisite
types.
Much of the departments information
in regard to the details affecting the effi-
cheney OF belligerent ships is In the form
of confidential reports which II would be
contrary to the public interests to make
public In any way. There are. however.
several conclusions which can be laid
down with confidence the result of
general considerations based on the we'll
known operations to date.
British Fleet an Example.
The first and most important lesson Is
that the British grand fleet. composed not
only OF Dreadnoughts and super-Dread-
noughts. but also of battle cruisers. light
cruisers. submarines and auxiliaries, has
to date maintained command of the sea.

her allies communication with all parts OF
