that such amalgamation and transfer
of the unions property would be at the
great disadvantage of the members and
a serious financial loss 1t is pointed
out on the latter consideration that the
proposed amalgamation requires the
payment by the local union to the
American Federation of Labor of $3.50
Initiation fee On basis of 5000 mem
bers and the annual payment of $4,000
In dues.

sired by plaintiffs and their associates.

be only $3.50 for 5000 members A saw

gested.
OF the $4,000 to be paid the America n

eral strike and lockout fund" This
would be dead loss to the Federal

cause they could not under their con-

Loss of Life in Battle
Must Have Been Heavy;
Ships Carried Many Men

The losses in the engagement must
have been extremely heavy. The battle
cruiser -Indefatigable, for instance. from
which the German admiralty reports
only two men were saved, probably had
more than 800 men on board. and
others of the vessels sunk carried COM
plements of men equally or nearly as
large. ...-
Previous to this battle Great Britain
had lost during the course of the war
ten battleships, eleven cruisers and

ties rest on naval officers of the

a particular interest in this year 5
class, because it saw him get
into trouble at his Inauguration
three years ago.
The President declared that he gained
a liberal education in the White House.
He said that discipline in the academy
must be strict because you are more
than college boys; you are officers of
the United States, and any laxity of
duty cannot be overlooked.
There might come time" he added.
