Secretary of Navy Tells of Need for
Better Defense at Sea and
Praises Senate.
(By SUN News Seryiceo

Chicago, June 17.-Josephus Daniels
Secretary of the Navy. reached Chicago
from st. Louis today exhibiting
broad smile as the result Of the Demo-
cratic convention, and tickled over the
prospect as he saw it. of the re-elec-
tion OF Woodrow Wilson in Novem-
ber
Secretary Daniels sidestepped poll
tics. but he talked with emphasis on
the need OF Dreadnoughts. The coun-
try" he said. demands a bigger navy
and army. He had found that spirit
everywhere in his present Western
trip.
"A navy is always as big as the
public demands" said the Secretary,
and right now there is a movement
throughout the United States to make
it the strong arm of our national de-
fense. I find that the sentiment for
preparedness is not limited to the
East Coast or the Pacific Coast. It
exists in the Middle West Just as sure
ly as near the seas.
Il have been working hard for the
adoption of the new naval bill. which
will give us s245.OOO.OOO to expend on
ships, and adds $1,000 men to the serv-
ice. So far the House of Representa-
tives has not been properly impressed
with the need for a strong navy. but
the Senate is to be depended upon to
back big fighting Dreadnoughts."

Pennsylvania Road Pleads
With Employees Not to Strike

Philadelphia, Pa, June 17.-An argu-
mentative appeal to employees not to Join
the strike threatened by trainmen of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company was is
sued tonight by the Philadelphia, Bslti-
more and Washington Railroad Company.
The appeal, in part, follows:
"A strike ballot is being taken by the
train employees of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company.
The total cessation of train movement
will result in stopping work in all de-
partments. with consequent loss of earn
lngs to all employees.
we do not believe the contemplated
strike will be indorsed by any loyal en-
ployes.
This company employs $4,000 men. OF
this number only 5000 are in the train
service. 1t is not reasonable to expect
that the wages of the remaining 121 900
employees not in the train service shall
be jeopardized or stopped by a strike of
less than one-siXth of all the employees.
Shall these men, in defiance of right
and JUSTICE be permitted to stop the
operation of the railroad and deprive 1t
of the ability to serve the public?
