SCHOOLS FOR CREWS
OF EMERGENCY SHIPS

Boston, Aug. 14.---While the tim
Der and steel for Americas great
emergency fleet is being gatkerea
from the woods and the mines, hum
dreds Of men are being nodded into
competent officers and engineers for
the completed ships.
When the call went out for men
to train for Americas great mer-
chant marine it reached the far Pa
cific, the south Atlantic and even
to the fishing smacks off the coast
of Maine.
They began to drift in one by one
"a weatherbeaten fisherman from
Maine, perhaps the engineer of
tramp, even oilers and tenders came,
and each found that he could i'm
prove his rating by the course in
the free government school at Bos-
ton.
The school is the largest of seven
free schools of navigation through
out the country, and one of thirty
such to be started soon. The men
get intensive training in the tech
nical side of navigation in courses
that are complete in from month
to six weeks, according to the
knowledge of the students.
1t has not been easy for these men
of the sea to buckle down to book
learning" The processes involved
in learning algebra is accompanied
by much chewing of pencils and
scratching of heads, but they are
making good.
There is no time lost. The courses
are intensive, and the students"
are working with that earnestness
seen only in men who are making
up for the lack of that quality in
their school days.
Each works silently, and beyond
the printed pages of the text book
before them they see the vision of
a trig ship of 'the fleet" and the
particular berth" for which, each
after his kind, is fitting himself.

Observation-Disclosures in the
tangled controversy between the rail-

parts of the capital, where six months
ago the Adamson bill, designated to
blaze the way to peace, was enact
ed into a law.
While attorneys in the supreme
court are making their opening ar
guments on the constitutionality of
the Adamson act, Representative
Adamson, father of the law, will be-
gin a fight in the house for prompt
passage of his new blanket railway
bill, intended to cover every phase
of the situation, and will resume his
efforts in behalf of continuing the
life of the Newlands railway inves7
tigating committee.
The new Adamson bill would pro-
vide an eight-hour day, make strikes
or 1ockouts without a ninety-day no.
tice illegal, and permit the taking
over of railway lines by the military
on orders of the president when pub
lie convenience demands such ac-

Drastic though the bill is admitted
to be, Mr.. Adamson expressed conf
dence that it will be enacted into
law Save for the eight-hour day
provision, the measure is understood
to have the approval of the president.
The eight-hour provision was written
without consulting the president.

ployers or the employees regarding
this BILL" Representative Adamson
said today. II took only the public
into consideration. The railroads
are trying to run up all the over

purpose of fixing wages, which it was
