Appropriations of SOS 900, to be ex-
pended on the Wsshin-tuu navy yard. is
carried by the Naval Appropriations bill
as reported by the House Committee on
Appropriations. The most important item
is $4,000 for an additional gun shop which
will cost eventually S660,'U and will be
an important addition to the works of the
local yard. There are also appropriations
Of $500 fo- fire proof mode. storage.
$500 for fuel oil storage. and S-.orn for
the improvement Of the toilet and locker
facilities OF the shops
The committee in uTglng the adoption
Of this provision sets forth in its report
In the Washington navy yard an ad-
dition to the present gun shop is recon-
mendeG. to cost not exceeding $4,000. and
an appropriation Of $4,000 is recommend
ed. This project includes. in addition to
the gun shop proper. crane runways for
The shop cranes, and heavy yard cranes
and railroad tracks The present gun shop
on the basis Of I twentyfour hour work
ing day. can complete guns for one and
half dTcadnaughts per year. None Of the
Pinch or li-inch guns have been return
ed for re.neTs and are expected hack
within year or TWO. If the work OF re-
lining these guns is carried on it will re-
duce the capacity for the manufacture of
new guns and the need for this addition
is therefore urgent in view of the in
creased building program which is con-
templated.
From the statement of the commit
tee it is apparent that the work on
the new gunshop will be started as
soon as the appropriation is available.
1t is understood that the plans for
the building have already been pre-
pared and work will be started as
soon as the contract can be let. Even
with this new shop, the capacity for
building large guns Of the yards will
scarcely be equal TO the requirements
of the new program. II the next
Congress authorizes as large an in
crease in the navy as is carried by
the bill reported to the House yester-
day, another addition to the gun
shops is in prospect.
Indian Head Proving Ground Nd
will be busy place during the next
fiscal year If the provision reported
out by the House Committee in the
naval appropriation bill yesterday is
adopted An appropriation of 500, 900
for experimental work at Indian Head
is made by the bill, and the Bureau
of Ordnance has plans prepared for
some very important experiments.
The provision sets forth that the
appropriation is for the development
of armor piercing and torpedo she'll
and other projectiles. fuses, powder.
and high explosives, in connection with
the problems of the attack of armor
with direct and inclined fire at various
ranges" Under this head the Bureau
of Ordnance will be enabled to work
out plans for and test any new in
vention. 1t is understood that the mil
itary observers in the European war
have made reports upon some new
ordnance material which will be de-
veloped at Indian Head.
Necessarily. the details of the plan
for Indian Head experiments are con-
fidential. However, the appropriation
Of 100000 is an indication of their
Importance.

Efficiency and IneGciency.
By Holm 10. HARR'


George Eliot, that friend of the lowly, believed
that great deal of happiness to be found
in the enjoyment of work. In Adam Bede"
she introduced scene where two toilers, work
ing side by side, expressed a significant contrast
in attitude. At the end of the day one eagerly
dropped his tools. and the other, absorbed in
his task, kept working. Which Of the two
was the happier? Which Of the two was the
better workman? There could hardly be doubt
about the answers.
The man that enjoys his work. that loses him
self in it, is of the most fortunate OF the
earth Even if he does have his share of trouble
he can escape by working. In work, many
man has found his salvation. 1t is said that
Edison has debauches of work. For days he
will not emerge from his laboratory. When, at
last, he does appear, of his associates
said, he looks tough" He is obviously the
verge OF exhaustion. But meanwhile he has
reached absolute concentration. In forgetting
himself, he has known the supreme Joy OF the
worker Compared with work done in this
way, what poor diversion play seems. Absorb
ing work is, indeed the finest of all games. Those
who miss it lose one of the highest rewards Of
living.

Union hours prevail in those kinds of work
that are unionized, incldding work allied with
the arts Some of the union men become so
interested that they are tempted to work over
hours. They have been warned to quit. This
curious situation has caused some amusement and
good-natured criticism. 1t does seem absurd
doesn't it, that a man should not be allowed to
work when he pleases? 1t suggests that the
unions imposing new kind OF tyranny, Civ
ing the another kind of slavery 1t is bad
enough to be the slave of a boss without be-
ing enslaved by fellow-workers.

It is reported that regular transatlantic
submarine service will be started between New
York and Hamburg, and that the first submarine
liner, armed for defense only, is scheduled to
arrive on or about July I. It sounds like a
wild project, but if it really is to be undertaken
Germany will probably discover some obstacles
in the way of claiming a noncombatant status
for the submarine and making an issue of it.

Suppose you are interested in something you
are doing, in something let us say. that you are
making, absorbed spurrcd with the thrill of
lskillful accomplishment. How would you like to
have some one come along and say: Here, the
days work is over. You have no right to 90 on
working Quit" Wouldn't you feel that your
rights were interfcred WITH Would YOU be re-
>cntfulo WE'LL this kind Of incident often takes
place among union men. Naturally. the enthusi-
asts checked in their enthusiasm arc inclined TO
be annoyed And the employers arc annoyed,
too. They think that things in pretty bad
way when such situation is possible
Those employers are right And the enthu-
slasts are right Things arc in pretty bad way
when workers not allowed to abandon them
selves to the joy of work. as Edison does as
all workers who are artists do. Moreover, the
situation is worse than II seems on the surface
Not only are the enthusiasts finding their cnthu-
siasm dampened, but all the workers are feeling
an influence that is bringing into dsfavor the
old ideal of enthusiasm n work. Besides those
enthusiasts who are discouraged by Others there
are many who discourage themselves. And there
are many who mbibe the feeling that they
must not be enthusiastic, whose potential enthusi-
asm, so to speak, is poisoned at its source.
know Of workers, capable men, who deliberately
and with purpose and sclf-justifcation, welch on
their jobs, who don't allow themselves either TO
do their best or to feel their best and in this
way, weaken and impoverish their natures by kill
ing enthusiasm in themselves, that wonderful
source of achievement and health and Joy.
Surely, of all losses that workers have ever
sustained, this loss is one of the most serious
and deplorable.
Why does this curious anomaly exist. this con-
tradiction in work? Why should not a worker
in a union be permitted to spend as many hours
;oL
unhealthy force at work here
The explanation is simple enough. 1t lies in
the obvious fact that, ior the worker, work is
life Without work he must perish. But, under
our economic system there is not work enough
to keep human beings gong. If the minority, in
their enthusiasm, abandon themselves to the Joy
of work, the majority must suffer. Besides under
our system the material rewards go largely, not
70 the enthusiasts, but to their employers
The Washington herald., 1916-05-25

Sometime the workers will work for the Joy
Of working, the artists do now. But when
that time comes the world will operate under
very different conditions There will be no
gambling, no competition for the right to live
and to enjoy the inheritance of the earth All
mankind will do its share. There will be in
ccntive greater than that OF mere money in the
performing OF tasks that develop the mind and
the spirit, that call out the richest faculties
that make all men, not mere toilers, but artists,
inspired with the JOY of achieving and Great
ing.
The Washington herald., 1916-05-25

Behind the situation lies tragic history. Once
the workers with enthusiasm were taken advant-
age Of, all of them. Those who are not unionized
are still taken advantage OF. Labor, signifying
life itself remember, was long at the mercy Of
exploitation. While it remained broken into
individual units it had no chance to protect
itself Not till it learned to combine those units
could it exact anything like permanently -estab-
lished, reasonable terms. Jealousy it had to
hoard itself. With so much at stake, it could
not work for the joy of working. 1t had to re-
member that it was pawn on the board OF life
and that it had to be adrotly played.
