1000 Workers Quit
AT Baltimore; Pay
Schedule Blamed
Especial Correspondence

BALTIMORE, Feb. Without Civ
ing an opportunity to any government
agency to offer a solution and without
notification, 900 or more carpenters
and ship joincrs quit at the largest Of
Ba]timore's ship plants to-day.
A conference of owners and repre-.
sentativcs of shipbuilding concerns in
this locality was held here tonight
They were Informed that tomorrow the
government would take over six Of the
largest plants in the East. Several OF
them said they had anticipated such
action. 1t had been expected that
owners or representatives of yards in
other Eastern cities would take part
in the conference, but the conference
was confined to local owners.
Strike leaders would make no com
ment tonight on the proposed govern
ment control of the yards, saying that
be considered at their meeting to-mor-
row.
Wage Schedule Caused Trouble
The walk-out was prompted by dis
satisfaction over wage schedules and
came as a direct violation Of the s.-rec-
ment entered into by the unions with
the government. plcdging the forbear-
unce of present conditions until mat
ters in the East had been properly adj
justed. These workers were employed
with the understanding that they were
not to strike during the present shir
crisis, and were also given to under
stand that as soon as possible the
Federal Wage Adjustment Board was
to have rewarded them with a set
standard Of wage schedules that woulc
have been absolutely fair and accept
able.
The men who walked out were from
the Baltimore Dry Dock and Shipbuild
ing Company, the Bethlehem Stce1
Company, at Sparrow's Point; the Red
man Vane Shipbuilding Company, Boo1
Brothers, the Coastwise Shipbuldine
Company and several other plants.
The strikers say the trouble is main
ly due to lack of method in the
classification of green hands" who
join the union.
Three Grades Of Workers
There are three grades of artisans
among the ship carpenters and joiners
/ he first class are the most skilled
who receive SO cents an hour; the sec
ond class-a little less skilled receive
81 cents an hour. while the third class
composed of the green hands. are
paid as cents. According to the strk-
eTS, some 1aVoritlSm has been shown
green hands in placing them in the
second or even the first class, and
likewise, in elevating the second grade
mechanic to the first class.
This is said to have caused con
siderable discomfort among the work
men of the first class, who have spent
years in learning their trade
1t was finally concluded that there
was nothing for the shipbuldcrs to dc
but await action by the government
They expressed the belief that the
strike of the carpenters and ioiners
would not affect the other branches
of the industry. An official of one
concern said government officials were
20 blame for the trouble. inasmuch as
they had indirectly controlled the labor
in the yards but had failed to make
definite regulations of wages. The
government should have long age
stepped in and regulated the labor
problem.

and Congress. Federal action with re-
spcct to trade relations should not be
hampered or complicated by unofficial
agencies. The creation of a boycott
as outlined by the Paris conference in
1916 we believe to be at variance with
the sentiments of President Wilson as
stated in his address to Congress on
April 6, 1917"
Parts Of that and of later addresses
are quoted by the association, the
statement concluding:
"In view Of the foregoing, the action
proposed by the Chamber of Com
mercc of the United States is, in our
opinion, not only futile, but vicious and

CLAIMS DAVIES
WILL BE ELECTED
lBv Associated Press

Milwaukee, Wis, March 30.-Re-
plying yesterday to Congressman
Lenroot's claim in a speech Wednes-
day night that he would be elected
senator by $4,000 plurality, next Tues
day, o. A. La Budde, chairman of the
Democratic state central committee,
today gave an analysis to show that
on the contrary the Democratic can
didate, Joseph Il. Davies, would win
by $4,000.
Approximately $4,000 votes were
cast at the primary election, said
Mr.. La Budde, Il figure that $50, 900
viii be cast next Tuesday if the
vote should drop to 100000 or under,
Berger, the Socialist, has a chance.
Over that he will not be in the run
ming. l believe that at the inside
Lenroot at the primary received TO-
600 Democratic votes which will be
lost to him at the election. Deduct
this from the 1890 total which he
received at the primary and there are
So, 600 votes left. He will, at the out
side, receive not more than 10000 Of
the votes cast at the primary for his
Republican rival, James Thompson.
This would give him total Of $4,000.
The increased vote will add 20, 600
perhaps, making probable total Of
10000.
"On basis Of $4,000 votes to be
cast, Berger cannot count on more
than 10000. The remainder, includ-I
ing the solid Democratic vote, will
give Davies $4,000, a plurality of 81,
600 over LenrOot."
