SHIPYARDS OUTBID
NAVY FOR WORKMEE
Lack of 400 Men Holds Up Work

Private shipyards paying men nearly
double government wages have brought
about a lack of mechanics IN the navy

Naval Constructor George y. Rock says

Secretary Daniels visited the yard, two
weeks ago, he consulted with officials
regarding the labor situation and
learned that work was being held up
because of lack Of skilled labor.
Many skilled shipworkers are leaving

u. S. THINKS NOTE
ENDS THE CRISIS
Continued from page /

Mr. Fletcher cannot be spared at pres
Much Of the difficulty with Carranza
thus far is traced TO the lack OF
adequate representation IN Mexico
CITY. Mr.. Rodccrs's reports are
few and. for the most part. unen-
lightened as 10 the real attitude OF
the Carranza government, so that
during the recent crisis the State De
partment has been IN the dark as 10
Carranza's real intentions toward the
Pcrshine expedition.
Il is believed that before the eX-
petition is withdrawn negotiations
will be begun for guaranteeing pro
lection 10 the frontier and for an
agreement covering pursuit OF the
bandits. Carranza twice has pro
posed such an agreement. and the
last time the State Department ac-
cepted it. 1t was annulled by Car
rama because the United States tried
to use IT TO legalize the pursuit Of
Villa.
With such an agreement assuring
the cooperation Of Carranza IN any
new chase that may be necessary, and
with suitable guarantees for policing
the border, Administration leaders feel
that Pershing can be withdrawn from
Mexico. War Department officials
stated to-day that the bandits had been
eliminated from the region in which
Pershing had operated and with the
new measures undertaken by Carranza
and the National Guard patrols there
is felt to be little danger Of serious
border disturbances.

His chief arguments are as follows:
