 served during the seven days in which it is celebrated amongs reform Jews. or eight among the orthodox. is iden- tified with the exodus of the Hebrews from Egyptian tyranny and further mbolizes joy in the triumph of lib- erty and freedom over tyranny and op- pression. This festival falling In the springs time of the year. was utilized by the synagog as & means of consecrating 2 the Jewish home to God. The story of the deliverance from slavery was the occasion for voicing confidence in the future redemption from oppression and woe.
 The Passover feast endowed the Jew ever anew with endurance during the idark night of medieval bigotry and with faith in the Keeper of Israel" who slumbereth not nor sleepeth.
 Exultation over Israers glorious re- demption, holding out the promise of a greater day of liberty to those who still chafe under the yoke of oppres- | sion. Is the resounding note in its cele- bration today.
 During the Passover week the mat zoth." un1eavened bread, is eaten. This food Is characterized as the bread of affliction" and is a reminder of the

 The feast of Passover is ushered in with home ceremony. the "Seder.'' on the eve of the festival. in which all members of the household participate in reading a richly adorned tale of de- liverance. the "Haggadah." reciting the various events leading up to the exodus and i'm m ediafalv fo11owfn0

NAVY WORKERS
DUE FOR RAISE
Daniels Says Early Increase
Planned for All Classes,
To Equalize Pay.

Announcement of moderate in
crease in wages to the $4,000 Navy
Yard employees throughout the
country will be made either today
or tomorrow morning. according to
Secretary of the Navy JOsephus Dan
iels.
THE award will be made at the
earliest possible moment the Sec
retary said yesterday. THE award
is in the nature of a revision and
will tend to equaliZe wages rather
than to grant any large increases to
any one~class."
The Secretary made 1t clear that
the full amount asked by Navy
Yard workers would not be grant
ed. 1t has been found that the data
collected by the mechanics in sup
port of their claims for higher
wages does not agree with that col
lected by Navy Department Off
Gals.
Although the increase will neCes-
state the reduction of Navy Yard
forces Secretary Daniels said that
he hoped to hold this reduction to
a minimum. Everything possible is
being done by Navy Yard author
tiles to avoid laying off mechanics
for even 4 short period, Whenever
work can be apportioned among the
various yards it is distributed so
that one yard is not given an undue
share of a certain class of work.
1t is also the policy of the Navy
Department to do outside work for
the Shipping Board and other inter-
ests, provided that such work does
not interfere with the regular bust
ness of the yards.
