Those in Private
Industry.

Laborers and mechanics in the
Washington Navy Yard and in the
forty-two other navy yards through
out the country are asking the Naval
Wage Board for an increase in
wages of 81 a day, it was learned
today from representatives OF $4,000
of these men, who will appear before
the board late this afternoon or early
tomorrow morning.
LABORERs GETTING S5.6s.
The laborers are now getting S36s
a day and mechanics $6.40. General
helpers are now getting S4.32 day
and will ask the wage board for $632
a day. Representatives of these men
assert the wage scale sought Ia far be-
low the wage schedule in private IN
dustries, and cite this as one OF the
reasons they ask a NY raise.
Luther c. Steward, president of the
National Federation OF Federal EN-
ployes; L. G. Major, of the federation.
and Joseph M. Richey, Of the Ameri-
Confederation of Labor, will appear
before the wage board in behalf OF
the Iaborers and meehanicss~>~ ,'s-~
The final recommendation of the
Naval Wage Board with reference TO
laborers and mechanics. all OF whom

bearing upon the wage scale for per
diem employees of the District govern
ment. The District Commissioners
have promised to review the local
wage scale Immediately after the Navy
Department announces its revision of
wages.
APPEARS BEFORE BOARD.
The difference between the navy
yard and local government wage
scale is now rs cents a day and any
increase granted by the Federal Gov
ernment will make a greater differ
ence in the wage scale. 1t is believed
the Commissioners will grant the Drs-
trict men an increase, in event the
navy boosts per diem pay.
Joseph NJ. Armstrong appeared be-
fore the board in behalf of enginemen
and switchmen. He did not ask for
any specific increase, but presented
data showing that some raise in pay
was necessary. The molders were
represented by l.. O'Keefe, Morris
Fitzgerald and William Probert.
These men asked an increase of 70
An increase of 20 cents an hour
was also asked by plumbers, pipe
filters and leadburners. This class OF
employees was represented by John
Co6eld, James C. Higgins, c. r.
Hodges. William A. Dever.
GATHER FROM ALL OVER U. $.
Representatives of more than eigh-
ty-fve crafts have been heard since
the hearings began yesterday morning.
There are more than. eighty other
crafts yet to present their cases, but
members Of the wage board believe
they can finish the hearings by to-
morrow noon. Their office today is
filled with piles of information sent
by the various labor organizations
throughout the country.
Clerks in the navy yards, who are
now getting S3.6S a day, are asking
S5.43 a day; supervisory clerks, now
getting S7.S4 day, want S92S; +;

While we are thinking over our
own little problems, The great prob
lem of peace or more war is de-
veloping in Europe.
.Russia's advance toward the
fringe of civilization running up
and down Western Europe may
change the results of the war.
The question in the mind Of the
Allies undoubtedly is, What will
Germany do to hold back Russia,
if she crosses the German border?"
And very likely the question in
the German mind is, looking to-
ward the Allies, "What will you
give me il l do, as in years past,
hold back Russia and continue 10
be the wall separating Russia and
Asia from Western Europe?"
They say that in a great flood
animals which usually fight saw
apely, and hate each other, will
float down stream together, most
peacefully, with never a thought
of battle.
In the flood that threatens
Europe, the rush of power from
I the Northeast, we may see nations
that thought they bitterly hated
each other sailing down stream
most smiably.

BRITISH SHIPS TIED UP.
Hundreds of Merchantmen Held in
English Porrs

Hundreds of merchant ships are
tied up in British ports, and several
hundred are in Japanese harbors, ac-
cording to official advices received in
Washington from London. Low
freight. rates and the general slump
in ocean traffic are said to be the
cause. but it is also pointed out that
n general coal strike in England
would mean a tie-up of practically
the whole British merchant fleet
, 1t is understood that only twenty
| six Shipping Board vessels are tied
up in American ports, and officials
estimated that not more than $50
ships will be tied up in this country
at any time during the coming year.
A coal strike in England would not
react against the American craft, it
was said. because the great majority
are oil burners.

By Associafed Press

Washington, November 6.-Soft coal prices are on the decline, statement tonight from the National Coal asso- citation said. They have already dropped 25 per cent in several fields and production is now running at more than 12,00o,000 tons a week, it said, adding that the immediate soft coal wants of the whole nation have been met and surplus fer storage against winter is being accumulated
 With cars available and a high pro- duction assured, prices in the market will continue to drop" the statement predicted.
 Operators in soft coal fields" the statement continued where unusually high prices existed, have. within the last ten days been setting up fair prac- tice committees and working in con- junction with Attorney General Pal mer, have put under way a determined effort to eradicate abuses in the ham ding of coal. Coincident with this ef- fort prices in these particular fields have already begun to fall"
 The association also gave out a state ment by it's president, Col. D. B. Wentz denying that the bituminous coal operators had sought to persuade Secretary Tumulty to influence coal priority orders to their advantage Through officers of the association, he said, the operators Kept MT. Tumulty informed as to developments in the effort to overcome the serious coal shortage" adding that is all they sought to do and all that was done"

NO PARDON FOR DEBS
Executive Clemency Would Set Bad
 Precedent, President Holds
By Associated Press


 Washington, November e.-President Wilson Is understood to have no inten- tion of pardoning Eugene V. Debs. who is serving ten years sentence in the fed erai penttentiary at Atlanta for viola tion of the espionage act
 The position taken by the President according to those who profess to know his views. is that executive clemency in such case would set bad precedent and would encourage others to oppose the government in the event of another war.
 Debs was convicted at Cleveland on September F, 1918. on three counts a jury finding him guilty of attempting to incite insubordination and dsoyalty in the military and naval forces, attemptin.y to obstruct recruiting and uttering lan- guage tending to incite, provoke and en- courage resistance to the United States and to promote the cause of the enemy. pardon for Debs and others convicted of violating the espionage act has been advocated by number of organizations including the American Federation of Labor, which at it's last annual conven- tion at Montreal.

though the star is easily seen when rot near the bright moon. Beta Caprice nj is the star marked A on Figure 1. There is another star of 6.2 magnitude quite near Beta Capricorni. Opera glasses will show it. This star is also occulted. It disappears and reappe ITS just ten minutes before the bright star The bright star is yellowsh, and the fainter which is just south of the brighter, is bluish. Both of these stars are double. When the brighter staf was occulted in 1883, as it now is, it was found that it did not disapb ear all at once as is usual, but that the light was suddenly reduced and a second later vanished altogether. It was hence suspected of being double and when examined with a larger telescope the suspicion was confirmed. The fainter star is spectroscopic binary--that is, 1t is a double star with it's componants so close together that only the spectro- scope reveals the fact that there are two. The times have been given for Washington and they do not apply ex- actly at other places. By nothing .he relative positions of the moon and star about this time one can easily estimate closely when the occultation will occur. The moon moves through a space equal to it's diameter in an hour.
