advertising often is conducted in the same way

ACTION EXPECTED TODAY
Daniels Will Grant Workers Another
Conference-Department of Labor
Starts Inquiry.

The committee of navy yard machinists.
of which Nelson P. Alifas is chairman
will call at the Navy Department this
morning to confer with SECRETARY Dam
iels again regarding the request for an
increase in the wages at the Washing
ton Navy Yard. The committee will urge
the Secretary to announce his decision
SO that it can report at a meeting OF
the machinists which will be held this
evening at Naval Lodge Hall. Fourth
street and Pennsylvania avenue south
east.
Mr. Alifas returned to the city yester-
day after a trip to Philadelphia, where
he took up the matter of increased wages
for the mechanics of the Frankfort
Arsenal with officials there.
Philadelphia machinists were recently
given a raise of "a cents a day. making
their wage s3.24 a day. but they feel that
they are entitled to $3.50. which is the
amount paid by private plants.
Wage Inquiry Begun.
Although Mr.. Alifas refused to state
what progress was made at Philadelphia'
It was learned last night from an au-
thoritative source that the War Depart
ment has asked the Department OF
Labor to investigate the wage question
at the Frankfort Arsenal and that pend
ing action by the Department Of Labor
officials nothing further will be done in
the matter.
At the Navy Department yesterday 1t
was stated that Secretary Daniels had
been too busy to take up the wage cues
ton at the Washington Navy Yard owing
to other departmental matters Of greater
importance, but that 1t would be con-
sidered at the earliest date practicable.
Two delegations, representing four
other trades and two other grades of
mechanics, appeared before Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt at the Navy De-
partment yesterday and complained that
their pay checks were too small.
George L. Cain, Of Boston, Mass.
president of the National League Of
Government Employees. headed a COM
mittee representing about sixty-five men
at the navy yard who are coppersmiths,
tinsmiths. riggers. and modelmakers.
J. H. Wolfe. W. T. Hebbard, and ].
W. Mcconnell, representing the yard
bosses and foremen at the navy yard,
called to protest that the pay of this
class of workers Is inadequate and is
only about 81 a week more than that
paid to the machinists whose work they
supervise.
Both delegations were told that their
requests would be considered and they
