taking place. The first depriving a
man OF his individuality. The second
is an organized cooperative affair to

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 27.-While
preparations for the strike of the 5o0,-

"Now if the government would use

miners there would be no trouble In
bringing about a settlement. All pres

and none on the operators. The

'The organized miners do not want

hope the operators may yet be induce

Should the strike go into effect next
Saturday, Mr.. Searles said, every
organized bituminous coaN miner
would cease the reproduction Of coal and
a large number Of unorginized miners
would join them. He estimated that
between 100000 and 100000 would
walk out, and added that the shut
down would cut off 80 per cent Of the
soft coal produced in the United
states.

WAGES OF FORD
NOT
BASED ON PROFIT
Testimony in Libel Suit Shows
Minimum Pay of Five
Dollars a Day Is
Straight Scale.

Mount Clemens. Mich, May %
In Judge fuckers court today,
where Henry Ford, through his
lawyers. is trying to convince a
farmer jury that the Chicago Trib-
une should pay him Sl,000,000 for
an alleged libelous attack. the tes-
timony introduced by the plaintiff
was sufficiently varied to overcome
the drowsy tendency of warm
spring day.
Attorney Alfred J. Murphy, for
the plaintiff, was examining Edward
F. Clement, head of the educational.
or sociological, department of the
Ford company, when Attorney Ste
venson objected to questions about
profit sharing.
The testimony of all the witness
es shows that this S. day mini
mum is straight wage arrange
ment. The pay of these men does
not depend in any way on the prof
its of the company. When they
start work they are given $2,72 a
day. After six months this is raised
to S., regardless of earnings as
serted Mr.. Stevenson.
Thomas Richards, one of the SOL
dier witnesses, testified that the
Ford company had paid his wife
$40 a week during most of his abb
sence in the service.

NAVY OFFICIALS.
FAVOR FORCE OF
$4,000 N { n
Would Rush Completion Of
Ships Under Construction
With No Radical Changes
in Design.

Washington, May 2S-Although
the Navy department has placed it
self on record as being opposed to
launching new building programs
which would give the United States
a navy second to none in the
world" it is in favor of rushing to
completion all capital ships already
authorized, and of maintaining,
temporarily at least a force OF men
capable of handling amy emergency
which might arise"
Secretary Daniels, containing his
testimony today before the house
naval affairs committee, read COM
munication from the general board,
which recommended that the 10
battleships and six battle cruisers
authorized in the 1918 program
should be completed as soon as pos
sible and that no radical changes
should be made in construction of
the vessels.
Wants 100000 Men.
Recommendation was made by
the secretary that provision be
made in the 1920 appropriation bill
for a navy of 100000 men, only g.
900 less than are now in the serv-
ice. He asserted that unless this
number was authorized, the navy
would be unable to aid materially
in bringing American troops home
from Europe, and, in addition,
would be dangerously weakened"
Mr.. Daniels emphasized that the
Navy department did not intend to
ask congress at this time for a per-
manent navy of 100000 men, but
only for temporary force large
enough to take care of the work
arising in the transition period be-
tween war and peace. Between now
and the end of the year, the secre-
tary said, the department would
have time to study carefully the
situation and arrive at definite
conclusion as to the country's
needs.
The recommendation from the
general board regarding the early
completion of the 1916 program dis
closed that the naval experts had |
decided against the composite ship, |
which had been planned to take the
place of the battleship and battle
cruiser.
Few Changes to Be Made.
No changes will be made in the
10 battleships already authorized, ex-.
cept those suggested by future de-
velopment in battleship construc-
ton, the committee was told. Pla;.s
for the battle cruisers will be
changed to provide for greater pro-
lection at a slight sacrifice of the
proposed speed of IS knots an hour.
Rear Admiral Mexican, acting
thief of the Office of operations, said
10 frst-class and IS second-class
oattleships, with total compliment
If 5000 men, would be kept in COM
mission as peacetime force.
The department has planned. he
said. to keep in commission 7l6 ships
If all types, put 1913 out of commits
sion and place 400 in reserve.
A summary showing the needs Of
he navy for 100000 men was given

officers required was placed at
