UNION ADJUSTING WAGES
Little Danger of Strike at Navy
Yard, Says Business
Agent

With the possible exception of COM
paratvey few carpenters working directly
for the Government at the navy yard the
carpenters Of the Philadelphia district are
not expected to he involved in any labor
troubles. In New York, work at the navy
yard and in many shpyards is being held
up because OF a general strike of carpen-
ters.
According to W. r. Allen secretary of
the Philadelphia Branch of the Carpenters
and Joiners' Society 1903 Spring Garden
street. all the carpenters employed in local
shipyards. as well as those employed by
contractors doing work for the Govern
ment at the navy yard, are working under
strictly union wages and hours.
Although there may he some trouble at
the navy yard unless this matter is ad-
justed' he said, there is absolutely no
danger of n general strike in the Phiadel-
pha district In fact, there cant be any
trouble. our carpenters are working under
a contract in effect until June, 1918, which
was signed last spring by virtually all the
shipbuders along the Delaware The con-
tractors working at the navy yard hire car
pcnters under the same conditions"

"OLD GUARD" READY
FOR FRACTIONAL FIGHT
Chairman Lark, of Democratic
City Committee, Caustic in
Criticism of the "25"

The Old Guard Democrats today protested
vigorously against the organization and
actions of the new Committee of Twenty
hNe, which was formed to boost the candi-
dacies of several men opposed to the Re-
publican Organization slate that is being
agreed upon.
Edgar w. Lank chairman of the Demo-
cratic City Committee, which is dominated
by the Old Guard element in the party
took to task the Democrats who 60 out
side of their own party to place reform
ticket in the field" He served notice upon
the Committee of Twenty-Five that If the
committee wants factional fight there will
be one.
"lf this so-called committee has been or
eanized to start a fight within the Demo-
cratic party here, il will have one" said
CHAIRMAN Lank. 81 do not understand its
purpose in placing a separate ticket in the
field, especially at this time. when the Re-
publican organization leaders apparently
are getting behind a harmony slate
Evidently referring to the reorganization
wing Of the Democrats. Lank said:
we were supposed to have got together
and conferred on ticket to place in the
field against the organization slate This
has not been done, but this so-called COM
mittee has gone ahead nevertheless and
has taken steps to name ticket"
The committee of twenty five recently
was organized by twenty-five independents
and Democrats to boom William A. Glas-
gov, Jr.. for District Attorney against Sam
uel p. Rotan. The committee also has in
dorsed Ira u. Garman for Receiver of
Taxes. Francis B. Reeves is chairman of
the committee: Robert $. Bright and Robert
Dearden. vice charmen, and nr Charles +.
Taylor and Allan Sutherland secretaries.
Most of the members of the committee are
reorganization Democrats who have fought
the Old Guard leaders in Philadelphia in
the past.
Chairman Lank also today did not go
out Of his way to confer with A. Mitchell
Palmer. Democratic National Committee
man from Pennsylvania, about patronage
here. The city committee two weeks ago
criticized Palmer and others in a stormy
session for failure to secure jobs for Demo.
Gratis in the arsenals and navy yard here,
and instructed Chairman Lank to confer
with Palmer on the subject.
Palmer came to Philadelphia this morn
ing He was "on private business" he said.
and added that he had no engagements and
expected to see no one before he left this
afternoon.

The arrival Of two Of the survivors in
Philadelphia today brought the sad story of
the shipwreck. 1t was in the middle of
the night, on Tuesday they explained, that
the boat was lying peacefully in the har-
Dor near Fenton's beach. The lookout had
gone to sleep, and the sea was calm.
Suddenly the boat began to rock. The
motion awoke the captain. He called the
mate and they found she was sinking
"A hands on deck" was the cry. Man
the lifeboats'N
The crew, rather sleepy looking. rushed
to the deck, but there were no lifeboats TO
man. They couldn't get the anchor up. so
they cut the hawser. A "settin' pole" was
produced and the crew pushed, but the
water had reached the cockpit
Me for shore shouted the captain,
and he jumped overheard. The others fol
lowed. II was a 200-yard wade but the
men made it without difficulty.
A real mariner rowed out to the craft
and anchored il. The "would-he" sailors
sought boarding house.
Thus ended the cruise of the Eleanor NJ
and incidentally the vacations of the seven
cops, for now they are working overtime
down at Fepton's Beach, trying to ssse
the hull, and there will be no more vaca.

COPS ARE SHIPWRECKED;
ELEANOR NJ is LOST IN THE BRINY
West Philadelphia Mariners Wind Up Series of Aquatic
Adventures Somewhere Off Fentons Beach" and
Dream Of Fine Trip Is Over

This is the sad story of the Eleanor NJ,
which came to grief in the murky waters
of the River Delaware off Fenton's Beach
and incidentally spoiled the vacations of
seven 'sea-going' cops of the Thirty
second and Woodland avenue police sta
ton.
The survivors of the noble craft are not
sure whether the calamity was caused
by a submarine. whale, rock or sword
fish. In fact the versions are so numerous
and conflicting that the only conclusion
that can be reached is that something"
hit her and she sank and seven cops ''poled"
for shore and waded the rest of the way
when the river swallowed the boat to its
cockpit.
For six months the "shpwrecked" cops
had planned a trip to Cape May on their
vacations For six months they laid aside
their pennies and purchased the craft and
supplies. Now. in the twinkling Of an eye,
their plans have gone to the bottom OF
the Delaware" and for twelve months they
will have something to talk about in idle
moments when they don the uniforms Of
the guardians of a suffering populace
The noble craft left her moorings in the
Schuylkill River on Saturday morning last,
according to the "log" Of Captain William
Scull, who is House Sergeant Scull in offi-
cial life. But employees OF Maxwel,s
stoneyard somewhere along the banks
Of the Schuylkill," noticed distress signals
flying from her mizzen-mast late In the
afternoon and a boat was dispatched to
the rescue. Sad to relate, the propeller
shaft had snapped and 1t took all nignt
to fix it, l.,
The crew had been given shore leave IN
the meantime, but when the rollcail was
n,ade the cook was missing. Again the
craft was delayed, and 1t was not until
Monday morning that all were: accounted
far and the ship was gotten under way.
