SHIPYARD WAGES
FIXED BY BOARD
Hours and Conditions of Employ
ment Are Also Settled.

Minimum wages in shipyards, hours
and conditions of employment, were
established last night by the Ship
building Labor Adjustment Board. for
the New York and New England dis
tricts, and an amended decision is
handed down for the Southern and
Gulf port yards.
The decision last night applies to
all the Atlantic Coast yards north of
the Delaware and, in extending it to
the Southern and Gulf yards as an
amendment OF the recent decision for
that district. 10 all the yards south of
the Chesapeake.
With the e-Chesapeake de-
cision. this fixes wages, hours and
conditions OF employment in ship
yards for the entire Atlantic Coast.
The summary of the decision follows:
The rates were made retroactive for
the region about New York Harbor.
including Bridgeport, Conn, to March
IL; for the steel yards north of
Bridgeport. to March 20. and for the
other yards to April l.
The board decided that the estab-
Iishm"nt of this uniform wage scale
for the entire North Atlantic was the
only way that shifting of men from
yard to yard could be prevented and
constant concentration of labor where
needed be assured.

New York. April s.-Grifath has
done 1t.
Someone had to lift from the world
conflict q document that would live
would interpret-would inspire-and
would convince.
The form Of the document matters
little except that as q film per Grif-
fifth, there can be no lack Of under
standing. Pictures are seldom subtle.
And subtleness Is missing from this
new picture masterpiece that the
genius behind the camera has given
US. It does not tell OF ''over there"
It IL "over there"
1t. Is perhaps fitting that Grifiith
should be the one. No other has ap-
preached him in the past as q master
director Of the movie and In his lat
est creation he has placed a mark
hort Of which the efforts of lesser
lights will fall for many days.
An invited audience at the Forty
fourth Street Theater last night ac-
cepted an early curtain and brief in
termission. There was no sign of re-
sentiment at the breaking Of tradi-
tions regarding play time.
Griffith Is not an ally of the re-
NlcWCEs 4TuG AC pIONAuCo IIdlCA Aol
and therein lies his lack Of co-opera-
ton. There Is so much provided that
the poor reviewer, no matter how
thing most worthy.
We do not know whether to dwell
upon the idyllic settings which he
has chosen to give to US the life in
France prior to those mad days in
August, 1914, or whether to let It go
by saying that any single scene
placed upon canvas would find a Sc
cure place in the salon. Adjectives'
are puny. The audience last night
thundered applause at just the show
ing Of the scenes.
Nor can we tell satisfactorily the
immensity and spectacular detail OF
his battle scenes. We once thought
The Birth of a Nation" was supreme
In its battle scenes. It Is but feeble
comparison. Empey has told of the
front and OF the trenches. Griffith puts
US there. Perhaps-it Is highly prob
able-that some OF the battle scenes
are not authentic ones taken on the
actual fields of France. but we could
not tell where the real ones ceased
and the creation began.
Griffith knew. too. that mere war
stun" would not suffice. He knew how
we Americans love to have the hearts
of US touched. He does this. He lifts
those hearts from US for a bit and
fondles them with a love story that
is almost sublime.
Lillian Gish and Bobby Harron lived
the story for us. 1t is hard TO place
the preponderance of credit. The

c1iored portion totals 81. 800. The
provost marshal general declined
to give out the details of the divi-
sion of white and cOlored men
crnong the states.
The movement OF these men to
training camps will begin on April
Is and continue for five days. The
mobilization points and the canton
ments to which the men were order
ed were withheld for military reasons.
1t was admitted, however, that the
movement will embrace virtually
every training camp in the United
States. New York and several other
States will divide their men among
as many as three cantonments. The
negro "elGCtivcs. II was learned, are
to be trained at camps in the North
CTn States.
First Draft Complete.
Last nights call completes the first
draft approximately 1900 OF the
Colored registrants were accredited
to the initial national quota. The re-
naming ZOO men were levied under
the second draft. These men are to
be withdrawn from Class /, and
proper credit will be given the re-
spective States if Congress adopts the
pending draft legislation, which pro-
vides for computation of quotas on
a basis of the number of men in
Class !.
The War Departments announced
policy of not interfering with farm
ing operations was adhered to. Local
boards were directed to fill their
quotas in the order Of liability of
men in Class / as determined by the
national drawing. except where it is
shown that q registrant is com
pletely and assiduously engaged in
planting, cultivation or reaping of a
crop. his call to colorS shall be de-
ferred to the foot Of the quota Of

Americas entry into the war by a ma

Coliseum in Rome. The painter Gras-

all over Italy are coming to Rome for
the ceremonies, according to official
dispatches received here yesterday.
The Corriere della Sera voices Ital-
ian appreciation of the American de-
cision to join her troops with those of
the allies.
They have renounced the legiti-
mate desire to fight as a distinct
army" says the paper. and ask to
fight and die modestly confused

tente, satisfied with the conviction
that thus they may best serve the

Submarine. Chasers.

Cleveland, Ohio. April s.-"There are
now more than 15O American naval
vessels. not including a considerable
number of submarine chasers operat-

THE record OF the navy Is one of

proud Of" added Mr.. Daniels, "for
the men in the navy are typical Of
the nation in which our people have
responded to the calls which this
great conflict has made upon them"

sweetness. youth and beauty Of the

with the valor, sincerity and manli-

tur. Suffering, they never lost faith,
and carried with them their ideals
through hellish tortures, back into
the light of perfect love.
Dorothy Gish. whimsical and hippant
as the disturbing one, contributed O
piece OF acting which has never been
excelled on the screen. After every
scene In which she appeared, applause
which we are wont to call deafening
swept over the house. Her character
ization was q classic Of originality and
execution.
The surprise of the performance
was the work of little Ben Alexan-
der. Scarcely more than four years
Of age, this little lad in the role of
a hero worshipper, with his big
broher as hero slid into the af-
fections Of the audience and swayed
them at will. We can not remem-
Der a child actor of either stage or
screen, whose work could begin to
compare with Ben Alexander's.
There were numerous others in
the cast who helped materially to
make the picture a classic, most
prominent among them being Rob-
ert Anderson as Monsieur Cuckoo.
George Fawcett, that grand old
actor. as the village carpenter,
George A. Siekman as Won Strohm.
the agent of Germany, and Jo-
sephine Crowell as the mother. The
entire cast was adequae-those
mentioned being picked because OF
the Importance of their parts.
There Is some criticism too. We
think Mr.. Grifith should have re-
strained himself from the obvious and
left US the American flag finish. As
Kipling would say, that IL another
story. and we hope that Mr.. Grifith
will give us another masterpiece that
will place America upon the plane
where he has put France.
Mr.. Griffith has given to America
the most effective recruiting propa-
ganda that has yet appeared. He has
shown US war. He makes US realize
what the news on the front pages
means and We defy anyone who has
the slightest claim to call himself
American to see the modified troops
OF France marching with determined
strides to the Marseillaise without
wanting to grasp a gun and fall into
line.
We have seen the war through hu-
man eyesight.
Grifiith has done It.
