foreign origin AMI contained the adj

4 man stood near the door and one or
two others near the sidewalk. The man
at the door said he wanted to see the

alarmed and telephoned TO George l..
Dunham who called some others in that
neighborhood. The police were notified
and came with f. c. Tenney in a car

strangers started off at fast clip,
one going across the common and the
others disappearing in another direction.

PROTEST NEW
YARD WAGES
Naval Workers See Injustice in
Scale AWarded-WilI Go
To Daniels.

Nearly $4,000 employees OF the va
rious navy yards throughout the coun'
try, including $500 in the local yard
are preparing to file a protest with
Secretary OF the Navy Daniels against
| the new wage scale, effective Septem-
| ber IS.
Thirteen thousand of these men, in
Guiding 1900 here. will protest
through william II. Johnson, presi-
| dent OF the international Association
OF Machinists, affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor.
The other men. and they number
over 5000, although only 125 are in
| this city. will protest through c. l..
Rosemund, president of the Fedora
ton OF Technical Engineers Archi-
tects' and Draftsmens Unions.
CLAIM GREAT INJUSTICE.
I'VE feel a great injustice has been
done to the machinists" said Johnson
instead of giving us relief in proper
| tion to the increased cost of living,
Secretary Daniels has reduced our
pay.
"Our daily wage has increased S1.92
! week, but we are forced, by Secre-
tary Danielss order, to lose one half
a day on Saturday, or $3.36 week.
This means a total weekly lost to- us
of $1.44.
while the m8chinists are very
anxious to get the half day on Satur-
day, we believe our wages should be
| increased to such an extent there
would be no loss involved"
President Rosemund, speaking for
the skilled naval architects and en-
gineers, says the award means a de-
crease of more than 20 per cent in
their pay and is directly contrary to
the recomme ndation made to Secre-
tary Daniels by the Naval Wage
Board.
The board recommended per cent
increase, but Secretary Daniels failed
| to approve il for this class of work
ers. decreeing they should lose half
day Saturday, which is a loss of 1-3
| per cent of their present pay.
The Secretary also increased the
number OF working hours from seven
to eight, thus decreasing pay by 121a
per cent a day.
| DANIELS ACTION "PUZZLING.-
| Secretary Daniels action is more
lpuzzling in view OF the fact that the
craftsmen, who design the ships and
other equipment of the navy, proved
conclusively that the outside scale Is
considerably in excess of the navy
yard scale" said Rosemund.
| In some instances the secretary
awarded more than per cent in
lcrease.
Because the pay OF some classes
OF employees has been raised more
than others. Secretary Daniels has
| found 1t necessary to make a reduc-
tion in the pay of other classes. to
meet the increases" says Johnson
"The machinists are one OF the class
es effected. We believe we have been
treated unjustly."
/, Secretary Daniels ia out OF town
and protests will be presented to him
Immediately upon his return.
