UNION PROBLEM FOR NAVY.
Double Pay Demands Provide Trou.
Bile in Speeding Up PROGRAM,

Union labor's demands for the pay
ment of double time for every hour of
work beyond the usual eighth day
is furnishing a troublesome problem
for the Navy Department in it's efforts
to speed up the naval construction. =
When the union officials objected to
heightened days with time and a half
for the extra hours. the department Off
cials planned to keep work in progress
at high speed by putting on two or
even three shifts of men in the emer-
gency branches. They were informed
however, that every additional and in
dependent shift after the first force
must be paid double time.
The officials now are seeking some
solution for the problem that will moi
enormously increase the governments
expense in turning out the warships for
which there is imperative and immedi-
ate need.

day. Here is his answer:
THE whole process of this year
Is a matter of lines of communica-
ton. The reason the British Of

The Germans know day or so

THE way to stop this counter-at-

but it's military knowledge and
foresight just as much.
Furthermore, when the Germans
feel sure that certain spot, at
which the British have been ham
mering is about to be attacked,
they rush their reserves and guns
over to back up that particular
sector Then is the time for us to
strike somewhere else, while they
are using all their energy to stop
us at another point"

played by their teams yesterday at

The doughboys won out over the

being due principally to Pitcher Wood

Holmes to find the plate early in the
game. The features of the game were
Shaw's homer in the eighth with no
body on bases and the spectacular
double play unassisted executed by
Second Baseman Bridgeford of the
horsemen.
First Baseman Shay of the Infantry
played a good all-around game, max
ing two hits, two runs and two stolen
bases, three errors which did no dam
