local fighting copper, returned to
Washington yesterday none the worse
on. in his draw-battle with Jack
Andrews. the lsnkey East Baltimore
fighter. whom he meet in the Monu-

been given the decision over the fast

Criticism of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance for alleged slowness
in settling accounts with persons
entitled to relief marked yesterday
afternoons debate in the House on
a measure to reform the bill.
Representatives Treadway, of
Massa achusetts. and Hull. of Iowa,
charged that "ambulance-chasing'
claim agents were already at work
frightening the relatives of men
who had been killed in service that
collections would be impossible
without professional services"
Sample letters written to the
families of men killed in France
proposed 10 per cent as proper re-
muneration for collection of the in

for $4,000.

ator Calder. OF New York, expressed
himself yesterday. He is a member OF
the Senate Commerce Committee
which has been investigating the Ship
ping Board.
'T am in favor always OF a good
wage for the laboring man. but he has
no right to stop his work now In time
Of war;" the Senator added.
Senator Fletcher. of Florida, chair
man of the committee, considered
only way out of the situation.
ct have always been in favor Of It,"
he said. And IL an agreement, good
for six months or a year, cannot be
had with these men. there is no way
except for the government to build the
ships. We could build ships for 500
per ton. while we are now paying 300.
In 1915 when the ship bill was defeated
we could have built them for sF per
ton"
Senator Fletcher said he did not
favor conscription Of labor.
"The news Of the strike made me feel
more sick than anything else that has
occurred since the war began" said
Senator Pomerene, OF Ohio. 1T Is

OF these agitators who stir up trou-

and done quick"

France, said:
"The labor situation has been han
died miserably since the beginning. II
an agreement had been reached with
the men, and stuck to, the program
would be all right now. But as 1t is.
many of these fiy-by-night concerns
have unsettled labor, and others have
been bidding against each other for
workmen. The situation is chaotic and
terrible"

locally. He believed II would enable
the workmen in the district affected
to live even better than they lived
before the coming Of war prices.
The purpose Of ths adjustment board
Is to establish wages to raise the
scale OF living commensurately with
other local labor in. private enterprise,
even a little above 1t as an induce
msnt to labor.
No strikebreaking.
Mr.. Hurley believes that the elimina-
ton of the workers fear Of reduced
rates and the consequent rctarding Of
his speed so as to maintain his work
standard safely, will result In the ship
yards alone, in Is to 90 per cent greater
efficiency, which would mean 80 per
cent more ships, according to the In
tensive building program.
Concerning the offer OF the National
Founders Association, through its
president, W. H. Barr. Of Buffalo. to
recruit workers to take the place OF
strikers, Shipping Board officials said
there would be no reply. that there
would be no attempt to break" the

The board leaves the matter to the
Judgment of the public, with only the

Draft Gives U. 5. Ship
Corporation Whip
Hand Over Strikers

Whether or not the striking ship
yard workers subject to draft will be
deprived Of their conditional exemp-
tions rests chiefly with the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation.
1t was stated at the office Of Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder last
night that IL the Fleet Corporation
reports the strikers as having severed
their connection with shipbuilding
work, immediate action will be taken
by the draft boards.
Such men as come under this head
would be given their original classi-
fication. Under the selective service
regulations, they could not regain
Emergency Fleet classification within
thirty days.
II their order numbers have been
dered into military service at once.
duty requests to again place them on
could not be considered.
While the draft authorities were
reluctant to discuss any contemplated
action to meet the present situation.
1t was definitely understood that all
draft boards in the strike districts
now are closely watching develop
ments. The draft boards may initiate
action looking towards reclassifica-
ton of the strikers without awaiting
advices from the Emergency Fleet
Corporation
The strikers subject to draft make
themselves available for service un-
der another section Of the regulations.
Many Of them have been placed In de-
ferred classifcations because Of de-
pendencies. II they stop work they
lose this exemption because in tina,
case they are not exerting their earn
ing power to support families
