International Officers of
Various Unions to
Decide
$500 Have Quit Work
Question of Calling Out Jer-
sey Workers To Be De-
cided Monday

The Marine Trades Council yesttr-
day put over to Monday the question
of calling strikes in several New Jer-
sey ship plants to enforce the demands
of the men for an increase OF htty
cents a day. At the same time 'he
nroposition that strikes be called IN all
plants controlled by the interests op.r-
ating yards from which the workers
have walked out or are on strike was
referred to international officers OF the
various unions.
In this move is contained the menace
of a nationwide strike, for the propo-
sition is directly aimed at the William
H. Todd interests, which control the
Robbins Dry Dock and Repair Com
pany, in Brooklyn. and other plants as
far west as Seattle. Indirectly, IL IS
aimed at the National Metal Trades
Association. which has been backing
the firms whose men are now out. 10

the places of some of the strikers
Situation Serious, Says Hunter
Henry c. Hunter, the local attorney
and secretary for the Metal Trades AS
sociation, has been the spokesman for
the shipbuilders who have refused TO
grant the demands of the men, and has
directed their part of the fight. lie
was not in his Office yesterday, but was
quoted as saying that the situation
has become serious. Up to this time
he has maintained that the matter
would be easily disposed of by the
firms interested. :,
Rowland b. Mahany, the Federal
mediator who has been trying for a
year to adjust the relations between
the shipbuilders and their employees
and put in the last week endeavor'ng
to bring the two together, was In
Washington yesterday conferring with
the department :,
While here, Mr.. Mshany intimated
that a Federal investigation might be
necessary to develop the truth or
falsity of charges that some of the
larger firms were coercing smaller
firms not to deal with their men.
Questions Hunters Statement
He also asserted that no question of
union recognition was involved in the
dispute and challenged the accuracy Of
a statement credited to Mr.. Hunter
that the employers had always been
willing to meet their own men to dis
cuss wages and conditions Of employ
ment.
About $500 men are on strike in
fourteen yards and shops in this sec
ton. About $500 have received lie
increase without striking. OF the
men on strike large numbers have gone
to other places where shipbuilders are
in demand.
International officers of the various
unions in New York yesterday refused
to discuss the situation for publica.
tion beyond saying that it would end
only when the demands Of the men are
granted.

the strike into other New Jersey ports

Exiles Sleep on Beds for
First Time Since Driven
from Bisbee
u. S. in Charge Of Men
Will Return Home Only on
Condition That Troops
Accompany Them

Columbus, n. NJ, July l4.-Ihe
United States is host tonight to Ari-
zona's deported |. W. W. miners, mill
men and merchants who are encampeu
on the desert half way between Co.
lumbus and the Mexican border.
A small city of canvas has sprung
up on the site Of the Mexican refuge
camps established by General Pershing'
and LAO men are sleeping on beds TO-
night for the first time since Wednes-
day when they were deported from
Bisbee. They came here early to-day
under escort of United States cavalry.
All afternoon the men have been
working in a blistering sun setting up
tents, digging pits for field kitchens
and hauling firewood.
Rations Issued TO the Men
Government rations were issued 70
the men for supper, consisting OF
canned beef canned tomatoes ana
bread. Tomorrow at breakfast they
will receive a ration of coffee, the hrst
they have had since leaving Blsoee.
shal. was in charge of the work OF
establishing the camp and organizing
the refugees into a regiment, composed
of battaliOns and companies.
The men are beginning TO consider
when they will be returned to Bisbee,
where some have families, homes or
business affairs. They are almost uni
versally agreed that they will be ready
to return to Bisbee when accompanied
by United States soldiers, and not be-
fore.
Army officers are ignorant as to what
the next move will be, and say they
have orders only to feed and care for
the wants of the men. The eXiles are
not being treated as prisoners, but are
being guarded by soldiers with side
arms, and no one is permitted to enter
the camp without pass.
The men believe the President will
order them sent back to their homes,
but there is no information in camp
upon which to base this supposition.
The men continue to complain about
having money and valuables taken from
them at Bisbee, but are unable TO give
names of any one who robbed them.
They also allege their wives were not
being permitted to draw money from

not confirmed.
Quietly Obey Orders
After the exiles had completed estab-
fishing camp they all went to the big
water tank in the camp and bathed
their blistered feet, washed their
clothes and then slept in the shade Of
the wedge tents. They obey orders
without comment and seem to have ac-
eepted their lot for the present.
When the unshaved and unwashed
crowd marched up to the refuge camp
this afternoon they presented one Of
the strangest sights Columbus has
seen since Villas Mexican bandits
dashed into the town, on March 9, 1916
Many were without hats and wore
soiled handkerchiefs on their heads to
keep off the hot sun. Others limped
from blistered feet, while old men and
the physically unfit had difficulty in
marching the mile to the camp from
the railroad. One man tainted after
reaching the camp, and the hospital
tent was crowded with minor cases
during the afternoon, though no serious
illness has been discovered.

Fifth of Men Dropped
At Madison Barracks

Watertown, N. Y, July 14.-About 20
per cent of the men at the Madison
Barracks training camp for reserve of
fcers have been dropped for physical
disabilities and military inaptitude. OF
the remaining 1000 men at the camp
only 1000 will receive commissions, in
the opinion of Colonel W. R. Sample.
The physical tests are very rigid.
Some of the men are dropped, it is
stated, for the reason that they are
too young in appearance to secure
proper discipline from enlisted men.

American Miners
Drive Foreigners
From Lead Belt
Herd 700 Laborers on
Trains Leaving St. Fran
co.'s County, Missouri

Flat River, Mo-, July 14.--About 700
foreign-born laborers were forced out
of the St. FRANCOIS County lead belt
to-day by American born miners, who
insisted that all the foreigners must
leave.
The Americans, armed with shotguns
and carrying American flags, rushed
the foreigners to the railway station
every time train came in. The Amer
leans fired into the air as they herded
the foreigners to the trains No one
has been seriously hurt Officials Of
the Western Federation of Miners said
the demonstrations were caused by
strangers sent into the district by the
|. w. w.
News that Missouri Guardsmen were
on the way to Flat River from St.
Louis did not become public until a
train bringing st. Louis newspapers
arrived a few minutes after 6 o'clock.
Members of the mob then discussed
whether the Guardsmen would attack
the American-born miners, who in
sisted that they were justified in ex-
pelling the foreigners.
The refugees are puzzled and appar-
emily do not comprehend what it is
all about.
The Americans endeavored to get
miners of Bonne Terre, Mo-, to organ
ize similarly and make the movement
against foreigners general. Tonight,
however, there was nothing to indicate
that workmen at Bonne Terre were in
sympathy with the Flat River mall
contents.
Representative foreigners said they
had had no intimation of any i'll feel
ing against them and that they would
not have worked if they had considered
their presence in the mines was unde-
sirable. The trouble is attributed gen.
orally to the influx of foreigners who
have been attracted here by the higher
wages.

CONTRACTS FOR
U-B0AT CHAsERs
Daniels Orders New York Navy
Yard to Begin at Once.
1000 IN FOUR MONTHS
Aggressive Action To Meet German
Submarine Menace Under
Way-60 chasers
Ordered.

WashingtOn.-Prepa for ag
gressive action by the navy against
the German submarine menace began
Monday at the direction of President
Wilson.
The President authorized the expen.
diture of the $115, 100000 emergency
fund provided by Congress to speed up
naval construction and pay for special
additional war craft, and the suspen
sion Of the eight-hour labor law in
plants engaged on navy work.
Immediately afterward Secretary OF
the Navy Daniels ordered the New
York Navy Yard to begin building SO
submarine chasers of the 110-foot type,
to be completed in from so to 80 days
While the energies of the navy will
be concentrated for the present on
efforts to get into commission craft
designed particularly to destroy sub.
marines and guard the coast, warship
building generally will be speeded up
under the recent agreement with priv.
ate builders and with the funds now
made available.
The announcement from the depart
ment followed an hours conference
between Secretary Daniels and the
President, who walked over from the
White House to the State, War and
Navy Building fer the purpose.
Navy officials estimate that within
four months fleet of 1000 patrols and
chasers will be ready for action. 1t is
planned to assemble the volunteers
within a few days to begin actual
operations as matter of training,
pending orders from the President for
complete mobilization of the navy.
In this connection, officials say, it
Is planned to establish a submarine
proof patrol off the American coast,
insuring safe passage to and from
American ports for all ships. Since
the visit of the German submarine
U-53 to Newport last summer made it
clear that the underwater craft could
operate across the Atlantic, it is be-
lieved necessary to provide for pro-
lection Of American harbors in the
event Of war

TO PUT LIMIT ON
ARMED SHIP NEWS
Government to Grant Request
for Rules to Guide Press.
TO AVOID HELPING ENEMY
If Armed Merchantmen Are Sunk No
Effort Will Be Made To
Keep Tidings From
Public.

WashingtOn.-After conference be
tween Secretary Daniels and repre-
sentatives of the leading American
press associations the Government be-
gan preparation of definite regulations
to guide the press in voluntary sup
preston Of information which might
be of value to an enemy.
The question of armed American
merchant craft was discussed par
ticularly, but the regulations will be
broad enough to cover any naval or
military movements the Government
deems it advisable to keep secret.
Associations Give Pledge.
The press associations have assured
Secretary Daniels of their desire to CO.
operate and, in the absence Of author
ity for imposing legal censorship,
will be bound by the Governments re-
quests. Before the regulations are
approved they will be submitted both
to the associations and to managing
editors of newspapers for discussion
and suggestion.
Mr.. Daniels took occasion to inform
the press generally that his recent re-
quest that movements of American
merchant ships be withheld from pub
lication did not mean that arrivals of
such ships in American or European
ports should not be reported.
"Such arrivals" the Secretary said
could not easily afford any informa-
ton that might jeopardize life, and
such news would be of deepest inter
est to the public and should be pu
lished"
To Report Disaster.
Mr. Daniels also gave assurances
that no effort would be made to sup
press the news if American ships
should be sunk.
If there should be any disaster, of
course" he said, "the informatio2
would be furnished, and it would be
expected that the papers would print
the facts.

WON FIGHT BY
THREAT TO STRIKE
Bitter Railroad Controversy
Passes Into History.
LONG TIME PEACE ASSURED
Hush Comes Over Conference Room
When New Day Breaks Just
As Last Signature Is Placed
To the Agreement.

New York.-With the nationwide
railroad strike averted and the Adam.
son act declared constitutional, the
controversy that has ragged between
the railroads and their employees for
nearly year over the question OF
hours and wages passed into history.
Appealed to by the Presidents med
iators to yield on the grounds of pa
triotism to the demands Of the en-
ployes, the railroads consented to an
agreement whereby the employees re-
ceive the eight-hour basis work day
and pro rata pay for overtime, the
same as that provided by the Adam
son law.
All that remains is to decide how
much back pay the employees are en-
titled to, inasmuch as the agreement
signed by both sides and the Adam
son law provide that the operation of
the new wage and hour schedule shall
be retroactive beginning January 1.
1t is estimated the employees have be-
tween $12,O00,0 900 and $13, 100000 COM
ing to them.
Peace For Long Time Sure.
The brotherhood chiefs were in a
happy mood as they dispatched their
code kilograms calling off the strike.
They had not won all they had asked
from the railroads when they first
presented their demands on March 80,
1916, having lost the time and half
for overtime feature, but they had
secured what they agreed to take last
August, when they accepted the Adam
son laws provisions and which the
railroads fought in the courts.
w. G. Lee, spokesman for the broth
erhoods, made it plain that he looked
for peace in the railroad world for a
long time Asked whether there was
any intention to bring up the question
of punitive overtime, Mr.. Lee said:
THAT will not be brought up now.
We believe that overtime can largely
be done away with by speeding up the
schedules.
Mr.. Lane, in statement expressing
the satisfaction of his committee over
the outcome, praised the railroad man.

ton and their unwillingness to permit
any embarrassment to the country at
