MIR. kirschbaum exhibited contracts
which he said contain clauses so re-
striCtive that manufacturers can not

He said the board had been appointed
by the secretary of war and that altho
It's members have no knowledge OF the
manufacture Of clothing they have the
authority to enter shops and fix stand
ards OF compensation.
When Mr.. kidschhaum said that
manufacturers were not signing the
contracts. Senator Chamberlain, chair
man Of the committee, declared he did
not consider the testimony relevant.
Senator Frelinghuysen held a different
view and Mr.. Kirschhaum continued.
He said tho board was appointed

turers 10 participate in It and that the
contract takes from the manufacturer
the right TO appeal for aid TO the court
OF claims. n right conferred by con-
sress. He asserted the contract held

slant irritation and strife in plants and
would give walking delegates" the
right to stir up trouble.
He further asserted the contract
would wipe out the piecework system.

who commanded that fleet during the
first few months of the war.
THE special service squadron made
an appalling show of fighting strength
as 1t lay at anchor within the little

The ships seemed in trim for any dar

could afford, and wondered IL the tale
that they were dummies were not u

"Never have seen warships with
appearance more genuine. Huge grey
monsters they were. with double tur-
rets fore and aft from which great
guns protrudcd; wicker masts with

ever gazen upon n more formidable
squadron, If the eye alone were judge.
But on board the joke was evident
at n glance. Nothing in sight proved
the real thing. The fighting turrets
were little wooden barns with bare
rafters inside. The great guns were
logs, graduated from a saw mill, ia
pered and bored in exact imitation Of
naval cannon. Not a single real gun
aboard. We could not have sunk a
rowboat.
The deck was covered with tightly
stretched canvas. painted grey to rep
