Secretary Daniels To Pass Upon
Pay of Navy Yard Workers

Secretary DANIELS is to pass upon wage
scales for workers in the navy yards and gun factories
In this city there thousands of men employed
lin the naval gun factory The contention of these Govern
ment employees is that their pay should compare with that
lin industrial plants and the building trades ftyeght
ago Congress passed law to the effect that navy
yard wages should conform possible to prevail
ing rates paid in the immediate vicinity This is substan
italy what Washington workers asking.
At the tins that law passed there annual
leave allowed navy workers At any rate, it not
liberal present But with due consideration for the
annual leave the local workers feel that their pay does not
anyway that of mechanics and other classes
side the service.
The navy yard scale for mechanics 80 cents per hour
Washington mechanics engaged in the building trades
ceive far above that, as for instance:
Electrical journeymen
pasterers s121s plumbers painters
bckayer $685. carpenters 95 cents paperhange $OO steam
filters s1.osN.
The highest paid workers in the Washington yard are
the pattern makers, tool Makers and coppersmths who
receive S8 cents hour In private employment these
receive very high wages
Navy yard aborers receive 46 cents hour and helpers
to mechanics Sc cents Outside the navy yard building
aborers receive rs cents and helpers around 80 cents

set forth.
OF all the classes of men in the
world the scientist himself has been
the least benefited by his efforts.
When he aspires to a decent and
modest living he is dollar mad

thing of merit, even though what
he has may have been obtained
largely by craft and cunning, by

For the scientific man on the con-
trary, it Is outr3Keous'y iniperti-

participate, in a modest way, In the
fruits Of his efforts.
On the one hand, is the complaint
that scientific men are being In
duced to leave their field, and on
the other hand, the statement Ia
being made that It is unnecessary
to pay them anything worth men
tioning, because IL you work them
right you can get them for little or
nothing. Just recently the writer
saw the papers for a position being
offered to a man who had finished
a university course, and had a year
or more of graduate work. What
was he offered? q basic salary OF

The interest in Government sci

count of the price OF shoes, the need
for furnishing food for his family
of growing children, and the desire
to secure an adequate shelter for
his family. The article which ap-
peared in The Washington Times
for Tuesday under the title of Dol
lar Madness Near n Limit Among

and unfair, and absolutely unjusti-
fled.
Why Is 1t that in the practical
treatment accorded him, the man
engaged in scientific work is q
sort OF outcast unprotected by the
considerations so strongly exercised
for other human beings? Standards
Of living. cost OF commodities, a
just return for labor expended, ap-
pear to be very important in con-
sidering the rights of a hod-carrier
or a wearer OF overalls, whether
he is a worker or a shirker. The
scientific man is neither fish nor
fowl. He Is always unquestionably
loyal to his work and Is expected to
put in overtime as n matter of
course, and to any extent whatever.
About the only practical apprecie-
