SH|PYAROS STRIKE
STILL UNSETTLED
DISPUTE OVER CRAFTS DELAYS
AGREEMENT IN LOCAL
SITUATION.

Negotiations conducted all week
by former Governor Henry Mcbride,
mediator for the Puget Sound dis
trict of the federal shipping board,
have so far failed to effect settle-
ment of the strike at the plant Of the
Sloan Shipyards Corporation, though
the developments of Thursday give
hope that an adjustment VIII be
reached shortly.
First opposition of the strikers to
the decision Of the shipbuilding wage
adjustment board, announced at San
Francisco the fore part of the week,
appears to have given way now to a
dispute over the classification as to
craft Of some of the yard employes.
An agreement upon this point ap-
pears now to be the only thing nee
essary to bring about settlement,
since the company is reported to
have agreed to recognize the union.
The decision of the wage adjust
ment board, aside from the classifi-
cation feature, which is not clear, is
identical to tho scale proposed by
the unions, except that it awarded
common laborers only 1925 day
instead of $3.50 asked, and fixed the
minimum scale for caulkers at $3.50
where 81 was being paid. The class
ification dispute centers around the
wages to be. paid the planermen,
plankers, borers and the like, for
whom the union asked scale of
from 1915 to $4.25.
The wage boards decision. does
not classify them. but the practice in
most places, union men say, has been
to include them among the carpen-
ters. for whom a scale of Sc was
fixed by the board. The company,
however, is reported to class them
as 'laborers.
While the dispute is in progress,
large number of the men have
gone to other yards, agents for
plants up and down the coast having
come to Olympia to employ them.
President Sloan of the Corporation
is in the East and has been consult
ing the federal shipping board in an
effort to find a way out of the diff
Guilty.
The decision of the wage adjust
ment board covered both steel and
wooden shipbuilding plants. In
yards where wooden ships are being
constructed, the minimum rate for
caulkers is fixed at $3.50; ship
wrights, joiners. boat builders and
millmen, s6, and laborers and help
ers, s325.
| The scale rates are retroactive in
the Puget Sound district from
August /. The decision must be put
into effect on or before Monday, No
vember -. the board orders, and
back pay must be paid within two
/ weeks from that time. Rates OF
wages now being paid in excess OF
the minimum rates fixed are to be in
nowise altered
| The working conditions in the

mined by collective agreement of the
employers and employees of the dis.

Inside Engine Trouble.

Every motorist would like 70 know
Just what IS taking place In the In
side OF the cylinders OF his motor.
Now a revealing device has been
perfected which discIoses the eIplo-
sive action Ignition. In appearance
It is Just like a spark plug, but It
has an opening through which the
spark may be watched
In a recent test with a car In the
east the following interesting infor-
nation was obtained:
!. A correct mixture was evidenced
by a regular, blue flame.
@ A rich mixture was shown BY
yellow flame.
3. A weak mixture made a weak
flame
4 Skipping or dead cylinders BY an
intermittent or no flame
s. Poor compression, dirty plugs
weak spark were evidenced by a
weak flame In that cylinder.
6. Excess oil was evidenced by small
particles OF yellow flame
II IS understood that this IS only
test device and Is kept on the engine
only during the time that the trou-
BILE IS being located and the neces-
sary adjustments made
When a perfect burning mixture Is
obtained the flame has the same blue
color as a gas burner flame; the yell
low color IN the rich mixture Is due
TO the presence OF unburued mean

For An Early Primary
Petros, Tenn, Aug 80 III

Mr. Editor:
Our people appear to be heartily
in favor of the proposed plan for
a primary the first Saturday in
December, az against the old idea
of having it in March.
There are many good reasons for
desiring change.
By having the campaign in the
fall, it is easier to entertain the
candidates. The farmer has more
to eat for man and beast. The
weather is nice for campaigning,
and it gives the candidates Il bet
ter opportunity to see the "broth-
rem" To get about through the
mountains and over dirt roads in
the winter time is a proposition
and hardship on the candidates.
Then again the first of Deem
Der is uot busy time with farm
ers. When March comes spring
work is at its height, and if it
happens to be pretty day when
the election time comes half the
voters will not go to the polls, and
often we do not get fair express
sion of preference.
BY having the primary the first
Saturday in December the men can
90 to the polls; the miners are Off
at noon and the farmers are net too
busy to go and vote.
The Republicans of this section,
many whom have expressed them
selves strongly, hope you will be
able to bring enough pressure on
the Committee 10 cause them t.
set the primary date for the first
Saturday in Decem Der.

Not AS 1t Should Be.
To the Morgan County Press:

To the Morgan County Press:
Mr. Editor:-It does not seem to
me that the sentiment of the peo-
pie of Morgan County towards the
present war with Germany is as
assuring as it should be. The peo-
pie of Morgan County in the past
have never Jagged in their duty
toward their country.
In the Mexican War, the Civil
War and the Spanish Amarlcan
War her sons volunteered in great
numbers to fight for the cause OF
liberty and right.
The cause of the war against
Germany is as just as any war the
United States has been engaged in,
and every son of our grand old
county should rally to the flag
which needs your help now. If
the desire for pelf has us in its
grip we are in a deplorable condi-
ton. AS our President said:
"Proft and patriotism cannot be
expressed IN the same sentence"
We must be patriotic above all
things.
Surely there ar no disloyal per-
sons our county. If there is one
who sympathizes with Germany,
the home of autocratic government
and military power, let him go to
Germany and fight for the Kaiser.
We do not need such person in
this country.
If we do not agree with the
President politically,i it is no reason
why we should not stand by him
and the country. Our patriotism
must rise above party politics. If
our patriotism is circumscribed
by party lines, then we have no
patriotism. When our country
calls we must go. No one should
hesitate. Our property and our
lives should be given willingly to

State Normal School

The Fall Term Of the State
Normal School will open Tuesday,,
September 25th. The war situa-
ton leaves it lmperltive that our
children shall not suffer in their ed
ucational opportunities. Educated
and trained teachers should be en-
ployed snd the standard Of qualifi-
cation for teaching should gradu-
ally be made higher.
To meet the need and demand
for trained teachers the State Nor
NAL School was established. Last
YEAR it had an enrolment of more
than one thousand and its enroll
ment this year should be equally as
great, it not greater.
Young persons expecting to be-
come teachers, who have completed
their high school work, should ar
range to enter the Normal Sthool.
Young women who make early ap-
plication to President Gilbreath
may yet secure lodging in the dor
mitory. Lodging in private homes
can be had at a cost of about $I.OO
"a week. Board in the school
dining hall costs only about $3.50
"a week. Tuition is free.
The Bulletin of the school will
be furnished to anyone who writes
for it.
This county should have a num-
bar of students enter the Normal
School on September 25th, and L
urge high school graduates and

Our forefathers fought seven
years and suffered untold hardshlps
to obtain the liber.sy we have en-
loved for one hundred and forty
years. History records that these
men could be tracked by the blood
on the snow and ice and frozen
ground from their bare feet. but
thew faltered not in the faith and
the purpose for which they were
fighting. Shall We sit idly by and
let nation prompted solely by
creep of power destroy this liberty
which was so dearly won? Are
we too cowardly to fight?
five do not fight in Earopo we
shall fight in America. Why not
keep the war on the other side OF
the Atlantic while we have a
chance?

Heat Affected Them

The Dupont Guard base ball
team simply can't stand the
heat. This was demonstrated
last Sunday afternoon at Ash
land when they were defeated
to the tune of 18 to 4, after hav-
ing defeated the Ashland team
on two former occasions. The
day was extremely hot and the
game was a listless one. The
heat did not seem to effect the
Ashland team as much as it did
the Guards and the boys across
the pond had their batting
clothes on and secured over Is
hits off "Spitball" Carol, when
he was taken out of the box and
Schmidt was substituted.
Smith finally had to give away
also under the bombardment.
DR.. Stanley of Mellen was on
the mound for Ashland and
pitched a good game.

men, but according to the Cap.
tain this was the first time that
either had caught fish, but
they made a catch this time that
they can tell about for some
time.
During the early morning
hours, Cleavenger and Lund0erg
in com pany with local fishermen
made quick trip out to Sis
kiwit Like where they ndulged
in little early morning fishing.
The fish were biting good and
some dandy black bass and pike
had been taken into the boat,
when Cleavenger began hauling
in what appeared to him to be a
whale although he was long
way from salt water. For near.
ly thirty minutes Cleavenger
played his fish in the water. He
is a man weighing something
over two hundred pounds, yet at
times the fish nearly pulled him
over the sides of the boat.
Cleavepger remained at his post
and finally landed pike that
Ill easured 27 inches in length
and tipping the scales at trifle
over nine pounds.
The fish was an old timer,
one of the early paintings in the
lake, but the boys on the boat
and their friends tainly said
that it tasted fire at a fish dinner
which was served on the boat at
noon.
Captain Canally of the Upson
says he expects to hear nothing
but fish stories on his trip down
the lake.

Will Stage Event on Labor Day and
Make it Annual Affair
Will Not Ask City for any Donations but
will Furnish Capital for
Entire Affair.

Announcement is made by the
F. T. Beers Club this week to
the effect that the members of
that organization are laying
plans for holding a field meet in
this city on Labor Day to take
the place of the regular Labor
Day celebration, and that it will
be one of the most elaborate
affairs of the kind ever staged in
the city and will prove to be a
great drawing card in bringing
many visitors here
The expense of holding this
field meet is to be borne entirely
by the Beers Club and no dona-
tion of any kind will be asked
from business people. 1t is to
be open to the public the same
as any other Labor Day celebra-
tion, but the events will be
participated in by members of
the Beers Club and workmen
from the DUPONT institution and
will be sort of a competitive
event.
The program is to be a very
elaborate one and will begin in
the morning with races and
sports OF all kinds, such as run
ming races, long Jump, flag relay
races, tug of war, and other
competitive races. The morning
events will be staged in the base
ball park. In the afternoon
there will be a ball game be-
tween two leading teams, and
this will be followed by the
water sports at the lake front.
The program of water sport
will include swimming races,
log rolling, boat races, canoe
races, diving, etc.
In the evening there will be a
grand ball and this will wind up
the program of the day.
Prizes will be offered for all of
the races and sports and the
prizes will be paid by the Club.
In addition there will be cup
donated to the person winning
the greatest number of single
events and this will be held by
the member for a period of one
year or until the title to the
same is lost through another
competitive event.
1t is the plan Of the Beers
Club to hold this annual field
meet each year and to make it
"a great affair and one that will
draw many people to this city
annually.
