Institute of Scientific
Research for Milan

An institute for scientific technical
research for problems connected with
iron and steel manufacture is being
established by the Ernesto Breda Com
pany, of Milan. This is one Of the first
instances in Italy of the linking to-
gether of a scientific institute with an
industrial concern. In Germany such
institutes were exceedingly common,
and to them is attributed in great
measure Germany's success III industry
AT the Breda plant in Milan new scien-
titic theories and methods formulated

learning the iron and steel industry an
opportunity of learning not only the
science of metallurgy, but also its
practical application.
The establishment of the institute at
the Ernesto Breda plant in Milan came
IN response to an appeal for the estab-
lishment of such institutes issued by
the Scientific Technical National Com

Wooden Ship Daily
Turned Out by U. S.
Since Last August
Chairman Hurley Reports
100 Yards i'm Operation;
Plans for Peace Produc-
ton Already Under Way

WASHINGTON, Dec. AT least one
wooden ship day has been produced
by American shipyards under the su-
pervision of the United State Shipping
Board since August ! of this year. &C
cording to statement issued to- day by
Chairman Hurley. These figures, based
upon the boards Forthcoming annual
report, are produced as a reply to All
inquiry raised in the Senate by rcso-
luton introduced by Senator Harding,
OF Ohio. Chairman Hurley says:
Tells of Progress Made
"Beginning August /, 1918, the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation in it's wood
ship production has averaged at least
one complete ready for-service wood
steamship a calendar day. and will in
crease this average and in addition will
shortly produce for sea service both
barges and tugs.
The progress during the year may
be further shown by the fact that,
while there were ffty-one shipyards
operating under the wood shin divi-
sion on November |, 1917, this nuusbe T.
had been increased to 1870 by Scptem-
Der l, 1918. OF these 78 were building
carg carrying wood ships, 4 were
building cargo carrying composite
vessels, % wire devoted to the build
ing barges and 20 to tugs
Programme Changed
The Shipping Board has revised its
programme of shipbuilding from that
of q war to peace basis. Its aim now
is constructing ships to meet the com
mercial requirements of the country.
This will reduce the speed of ship CON
struction, but will improve the quail
it yand adaptability to trade needs, &C
cording to statement issued by the
board tonight. The statement contains
an announcement made by Chairman
Hurley to the board on the eve of his
departure for Europe with Herbert
Hoover which explains the new prin-
ciples upon which the boards construc-
ton program ennis based

Boat Owners Assert They
Expect No Marine Strike

Though the New York Boat Owners
Association has declined to arbitrate
the demands of the Marine oWrkers'
Ahllation that all marine workers at
this port be given the cight-hour basic
day, officers OF the affiliation said yes
terday they expected no strike would
follow the refusal. Instead they be-
lIeve the men will await the award of
the New York Harbor Wage Adjust
ment Board, to whom the matter of
hours and wages has been referred.
and leave it to the United States Ship
ping Board to enforce the award.
This award, the leaders believe, will
include the demands of the men for an
elght-hour day, effective December I,
the board having gone on record in
previous adjustments as favoring the
basic elght-hour day, notably in the
case OF the longshoremen, who work
with the men now demanding a change
The refusal OF the boat owners to
arbitrate this phase of the mems de-
mands does not come as a surprise to
the officers of the utilization or to the
members Of the United States Ship
ping Board. At meeting of the lat
ter body in Washington last week, AZ
which it was arranged 30 arbitrate
everything in the New York situation
the representative of the boat owners
informed the board he would not ar
bltrate the question OF hours and
would not attend the hearings.
The response of Robert P. Bass,
chairman OF the board, to this was no.
tlce that the boat owners would be
subp9ned to appear and that if they
did not appear means would be taken
to compel their attendance.

Object to Wage Award
Printing Trades Plan Appeal to
War Labor Board

Announcement yesterday of wage
awards in the allied printing trades
by the wage adjustment committee of
the War Labor Board created consid-
cradle dissatisfaction among pressmen,
paper cutters, binders and paper ham
dlers, it was declared last night. The
awards were deemed insufficient, and
strikes are likely to result, although
union officials are advising their men
to stay at work pending appeals 10 the
board
In one large shop the announcement
of the increase caused strike. This
was in the Charles Francis Press, 4S1
Eighth Avenue, whose pressmen walked
out without consulting their union Of
ticcrs. The union leaders last night
conferred with the Printers League in
an endeavor to stem the tide Of dis
satisfaction.
The trouble arises over an award Of
$6 week increase granted to the
press feeders three weeks ago by the
Federal board. Yesterdays awards an
nounced were as follows: Pressmen,
$3.50; paper cutters, SO; women bind
ers, $3.50; paper handlers, So.

BurlesOn Denies
Lipsner Charges
On Aerial Mail
Calls Alleged Defects 4,
Tissue of Measurements.
Saying That Only Minor
Changes Are To Be Made

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Postmaster
General Burleson wrote Captain Ben
jamin Lipsncr to-day, in accepting his
resignation as superintendent of the
aerial mail service. that charges made
public by HIM in leaving the office were
from beginning to end, tissue Of
mlsstatements upon matters of which
you should have been fully conversant."
Captain Lipsner was quoted last
night as saying he resigned because he
had been informed that novices were
TO be placed In charge of important
branches of the service and that special
airplanes are TO De built for carrying
mail.
"Thc statement that the Post Of
flee Department has considered or au-
thorlzed extensive alterations on mill
tary airplanes which the War Depart
ment is turning over has no founda-
ton, except in your imagination" Mr..
Burleson said, in his letter to Captain
Lipsner. Except for the application
of skis to the running gear of planes,
to facilitate landing iii snow, rs recon-
mended by you, and for experimental
modification Of three De Haviland
planes to decrease landing speed and
minor notifications to facilitate load
ing of mail, nothing has been author
lied"
SO far from ordering new construc-
ton, the letter adds, Assistant Postmas-
ter General Praeger refused to author
ize the construction OF fleet of twin
motored mail planes recommended by
Captain Lipsner. His assertion that
novices are to be employed in the SER
vice, Mr. Burleson said, ais on par
with the other Statements since the
two officials appointed are aviators,
which you are not"
In connection with Captain Lipsner's
retirement, Mr.. Burleson announced
the creation of two departments for the
air service. one headed by Lieutenant
J. Clark Edgerton as chief Of dying or
erations, and the other by DR.. L. 7.
Bussler, as chief of maintenance and
equipment. Both have been in the
army and postal service, and take up
the duties heretofore performed by
Captain Lipsner, who was ordered TO
deliver his records to the postmaster
at Elizabeth, n. j.

Chilean Engineers Send
$50 to Wounded Soldiers
\. M. c. A. Girls Buy Fruit,
Cigarettes and Dainties
for Yanks

PARIS, Nov. 3O.-Fifty-thrc dollars,
collected by small group of engineers
employed by a copper company at Val
paradise, Chile, for wounded American
boys came all the way to headquarters
of the Y. NJ. C. A. in Paris the othe,
day and this is what happened to il.
+. c. Carter, chief Of the Y. M. c. A.
overseas activities, gave the money to
his secretary, telling her to spend every
cent of it on boys in certain hospital
who needed some extra comforts.
The secretary and two other girls, all
in The uniform of the Y. NJ. C. A., col
lected lot of the lntest newspapers
and magazines from home, bought up
cigarettes, chewing gum, chocolate, jam
and basketful of fresh white grapes
and then. laden away beyond the limit
of their ancient hack, drove to the big
base hospita on the world famous
racetrack at Auteuil, just outside Paris,
once the home of sport and now the
home Of a thousand or more wounded
American soldiers.
Cigarettes were given to every man
in four wards, also box of matches
Then the three girls went into the gas
ward, where boys are not allowed to-
bacco in any form until the gas is en-
tlrely out of their systems. Each Of
these boys YVES given chewing gum
and some of them were so glad to get it
that they actually cried. Others were
not so far down with the ravages of the
attack and sang out glad "Hurrays,'
but there wasn't man in that ward
whose day was not made easier by that
package OF gum
The grapes were taken into the med-
cal ward, where fever patients with
rarched threats we're relieved by the
cooling fruit. The jam was given to
various nurses, for there was none too
much of it and not nearly enough for
all the boys. The nurses take these
little extras and hide them under lock
and key in their medicine chests. And
now and then it is given to bed-ridden
patients whose appetites, as we'll as
their tired bodies, need nursing.

Remove Children
From Industry by
Tax, Says Lenroot
Senator Declares Levy ON
Manufacturers Profits
Will Soon End the Evil
of Employing Youths

Children must be taken out of indus
try as one of the first and most vital
steps of the reconstruction period, Sem
ator Irvine l.. Lenroot declared last
night. Speaking before the National
Conference on Child Labor at the Eth
ical Culture Society auditorium he
prophesied that this epochal change
would take place shortly after the pas
sage of the revenue bill.
"Demobilize the Juvenile workers
first, and do it by means of the taxing
power" said Mr.. Lenrot, referring to
the Pomerene amendment now before
Congress, which puts tax equivalent
to 10 per cent of the entire net profits
during the year from any industrial
establishment employing children.
Senator Lenroot, discussing the con-
stitutionality of the amendment, as
serted that the legislation was not open
to the slightest objection on the part
of the Supreme Court, and was merely
one of the recognized uses of taxa
tien. namely, to destroy economic evils.
Would End Profits
ITO deprive the manufacturer Of all
hope of profit is to end the employ
nent of child labor" he said. ut is
entirely legitimate for the government
to say to any manufacturer: You
shall not profit by coming the lives of
little children into dollars. The gov
eminent will take from you any money
you so make
"Upon this point can do no better
than to quote from President Wilson's
address to Congress on May 81, in
which he said that the profiteers that
cannot be got at by the restrictions
of conscience and love of country can
be got at by taxation"
Professor Thomas Reed Powell, Of
Columbia Law School, upheld Senator
Lenroot's contention that the amend
ment would pass the acid test OF con-
stitutionality
Federal aid to education during the
period of economic and social reorgan-
ization was unanimously Endorsed by
the delegates. DR.. George D. Strayer,
of Columbia University president of
the National Education Association,
won the support of the conference for
the Hoke Smith bill appropriating
S100,000,000 annually to aid states in
improving rural education, training Of
teachers, combating illiteracy, pro
noting general health and Americana
ing immigrants.
Would Equalize Advantages
'The Hoke Smith bill would go a
long way toward equalizing adj
vantages, by helping backward states
and communities to catch up in school
efficiency" he said. ITO conceive Of
education as national issue, and to
approach it legislatively in that spirit,
is easier now because of the war and
because we have been accustomed to
national taxation on large scale.'
President Dwight l.. Waldo, of West
ern Normal College, Kalamazoo, Mich,
declared that a national plan of educa-
ton would have to be put into effect

Bolshevism was one form, such as fol-
