SECRETARY DANIELS
ASSAHS CONGRESS
ON SMALL NAVY BILL
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.
with able argument. program of
new construction. In view of the
fact that work could not be pressed
on battle cruisers and Dreadnaughts
during the war, I did not press the
authorization for capital ships. but
did urge Congress to make appro-
'rriations for destroyer leaders, ayi-
alton carriers, and smaller scout
cruisers necessary to round out the
feet.
Would Save Money.
The department also urged most
earnestly an appropriation of s11,-
100000 for the completion and fit
ting out of seven vessels as aviation
and destroyer tenders at the Hog
Island plant Of the United States
Shipping Board.
If this legislation had passed the
navy would have obtained seven
needed ships for s1l, 900. 900, which
il built under other conditions at
current prices. would cost S23, ,O00,-
900.
The Chief of Opc1 ations and all
the material bureaus urged a suf-
ficient appropriation to make neces
sary repairs in ships which could
not be made during the war. A
bill to that effect passed the House
last fall but failed in the Senate.
The failure to appropriate suf-
ficient money for the proper con-
verting of tEese ships will compel
their deterioration.
"Instead of saving money by re-
ductlon of these appropriations now
1t will require more money in the
future. Moreover. it will compel
the discharge of experienced and
capable men in our navy yards and
lose the force CT skilled men trained
for this character of work, a loss
that is greater than car be eStl-
mated"
The provisions relative to in
creased personnel the Secretary
classifies as Constructive 1cgisla-
tion, but he insists that many of
the items that were eliminated
were cut for tolitical purposes and
that they will have to be inserted
in deficiency bills after the cleo
ton.

magnitude, temporarily affect the
general public. Gompers maintains
that few of them affecting produc-
tion and distribution actually threat
come a menace to the public health.
Reply Of Gompers.
STRIKES which become threaten
ing to public peace" says Gompers.
have been strikes in which en-
ployers or public officials Influenced
by employers have created a breach
of peace by the use of thugs, armed
guards and detectives.
Labor has no desire to cause in
convenience to the public. of which
1t is a part. but the public has no
rights which are superior to the
toiler's right to live and his right
to defend himself against oppres-
sion. Gov. Aliens public seems for
the most-part to be an employing
and non union public. The real pub
lie includes all union men and wom-
en-. and is in fact fully one-fourth
union.
Every strike against deteriora-
ton is check upon avaricious en-
|ployers pressing the unorganized d
farther down. Every strike for i'm
provement in the condition and
standards of those engaged in in
|dustry has. it's reflex and influence
for the uplift of ALL"
Agency Of Progress.
Gompers declares that the "ridicu-
lous assumption" that menace pub
lie welfare lies in strikes "undoubt-
edly serves well the purposes of en-
ployers who wish to continue auto
cratic practices. who wish to con-
tinue TO control ~ =. and who
wish to continue to tail produc-
Ftion as it best serves profits to do
so.'
The right to strike" he concludes,
with all its disadvantages. Is an
.agency of progress, a buttress of
manhood, OF health and vigor, a pro-
moter of public thought and educa-
tion-an instrument for good. demo-
cratic in concept and essential to
freedom. Its greatest justification
is found in its results"
