Ship Strike Trouble Practi-
cally Settled, as Men Re-
pudiate Hltcheson.

Reputation Of William L. Hutche-
son. president Of the International
brotherhood OF Carpenters and join
ers, by the individual locals of the
brotherhood is disposing automati-
caliy Of the impasse now between
Hutcheson and the United States
Shipping Board over the closed shop
issue.
This was the opinion last night OF
Shipping Board officials. who cite the
fact that local unions OF the carpen-
tiers in the last few days, through
representatives appearing before the
shipbuilding labor adjustment board,
have pledged themselves to abide by
the decisions of the board.
Such agreement has been effected
with the shipyard woodworkers OF
the districts around Tampa and Jack
sonviile, Fla; Mobile, Ala, and Hous-
ton. Orange and Beaumont, Tex, in
addition to the local pledges already
given by the carpenters OF the Chesa-
peake and Delaware River districts In
the recent wage decision, affecting
more than go per cent of all the ship
building on the Atlantic Coast. and by
all the carpenters of the Pacific Coast.
The locals are doing what every
other shipyard craft has bound itself
to do by contract; they are doing it
individually. however, the wage in
vestigation hearings being conducted

Admiral MCGOWAN Resents
Trial Of Ideas on Fight
ing Men.

Two million men are under arms In
the United States service according to
a statement made by Admiral Samuel
MCGOWAN. paymaster Of the Navy,
during a speech before graduates Of
the University Of Pennsylvania at
their war dinner at the University
Club last night.
Speaking of "experimenters'' with
ideas to try out on the army or navy,
trying to economic with food and
materials. Admiral MCGOWAN. who
is also one Of the men doing the pur-
chasing for American fighters, said:
Let them try their ideas out on the
fifty million others at home. They
will offer a wider field. Not to quote
exact figures. they can more safely
try their experiments on the fifty mil
lions in the country rather than on
the not much more than two million
men under arms.
This war as far as We are con-
cerned will be conducted by tho
army and navy and by them alone,
and when victory is achieved. there
will be standing room only among
the boosters who are now criti-
cising actions"
Col. E. Vignal. military attache of
the French Embassy. brought a
message OF congratulation and fe-
licitation to America friends of
France.
With a black band on his left
sleeve, the little French army man
rose to the pitch Of excitement
characteristic of the earnest French
man, when he spoke Of the sacri-
fices which Americans had already
made for France.
'''You have already sent over Ameri-
can Lafayettes. Men from this land
have stood upon the soil Of France
and shed their blood for the native
home of the French general France
will not forget it. Many of them lie
now under crosses on battlefelds with
our own boys. France can never for
get it. And $50 years from today 1t
will be the duty of France not to for
get these boys who spilled their blood
for her sake"
Surg. Gen. ". C. Gorgas, Of the
army. brought the audience back to
the time of Washington. He spoke
of the words of vituperation and
the army during the most critical
years Of our existence as a nation"
An address was also delivered by
Lieut.. Col. A. G. Murray, NJ. P. He
paid glowing tribute both to the
work OF the American and French
troops "over there"

firmly behind them. A cable message
was despatched to Gen. Pershing.
The pledge made by labor to sup

These two pledges one to the Presi-
dent Of the United states and the
other to the commander of our mill
tary forces were made when resolu-
tions were adopted at the labor mass
meeting held here under the auspices
Of the American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy. They both were
adopted unanimously with three

that labor had conquered the evil of

tons" is an econ Imic agreement ex-
tending over thirty years after peace
is concluded.
At Brest-Litovsk, when the Bolshe-
visit armies were still more or less
organized, the Teuton diplomats were
content with pact of six months
though some thought ten or fifteen
could not acquire by diplomacy they
now mean to take with the sword.
So far all the Bolshevist proclama-

as far as resistance to the invaders
is concerned. Here and there in the
6J0-mile belt of the Teuton advance
isolated groups of Red Guard soldiers,
with a semblsnce of organization
throw themselves into the teeth of
the steam roller. They were brushed
aside like so much chan.
A tragicomical side-show to the
great drama is being staged at Foe

are parleying with the Rumanians. A
peace pact is reported in the making.
All the while the version that the
new invasion was necessary and in
response to the pitiable appeals from
the Ukranians, the Baltic peoples and
the Firms, is carefully fostered by
Wilhelmstrasse. 1t stares out of every

Double fair. price is being paid by
the United States for ships. the Sen
ate Commerce Committee, investigat-
ing the shipping situation, was told
yesterday by Philip Manson, president
OF the Pacific and Eastern Steamship
Company.
He declared the private contractors
could manufacture vessels at So ton
easily. in comparison with the Sl45
average which the Shipping Board now
pays. He said he based this state
ment both on the cost in England and
on offers which had been made TO him
as a private shipowner.
Makes Letters Public.
Manson was called by the commit
tee as an expert witness" He said
he had made no contracts, or at
tempted TO. and had no feeling against
the Shipping Board. He declared the
opinion OF ''all practical. uninterested
shipping men, to whom he had talked
was that better terms would have been
made by the government IF It had not
handed its fortunes and success over
Germs"
He made public letters which he had
written the board urging that the con-
tracts be spread among many small
yards, with two to six ways each,
which, he said, would have avoided
the congestion which resulted when
three of your largest yards were
placed within a ffty-mile radius in

The work must be done so that 1t

Senator Harding also pictured
America triumphant in the struggle
for democracy, and urged more con-
centrated effort on the part Of in
dividuals to bring about that vic
tory.
IT could utter a prayer" he said,
"for an American benediction to be-
stow on US the wisdom, the devo-
ton. the faith and the willingness
to sacrifice which strengthened the
fathers in their mighty tasks. I wish
we might dwell in their simplicity
and frugality. and the freedom from
envy which attended.
''I wish might end the extrava-
gance of governmental and individual
life which add to unrest and rend
our strength. 1t is our besetting
sin. We need as much sober thought
about what We spend as about what
we earn, in every walk OF life. No
