involved, who is in Washington, has
turned over to Chairman Hurley a
dispatch received from his company

The other yards involved are Amos

One Solution.
The solution of the trouble, the
labor men say, is three-fold:
Let the Government establish a
standard wage.
Gut out the profiteering at the
root Getting the Hog Island situation
as a leading eIample).
S-Discredit such leaders as Hutch
enson of the carpenters.
And in addition the Government. II
IS stated, should Immediately improve
transportation facilities so that ma
terials will be delivered promptly TO
the yards. eliminate idleness among
the workmen-and IL this can't be
done, see that the men are paid iC
they are forced to idleness by lack
OF materials.
How these proposals can best be
worked out-snd Quickly-is the tire
mendoUs problem before President
Wilson today. Many officisls-includ-
3ng prominent labor leaders-believed
that the Government should take over
some OF the yards at least where the
dissatisfaction was the greatest.

then turn them back.
