DANIELS TO MEET
NAVY MACH|N|STS
Will Confer With Men on Pro-
posaI for Reconsidering
Wage Scale.

Representatives of the machinists
at the Washington navy yard and
other yards will have conference
with Secretary Daniels at the Navy
Department this afternoon to obtain
a reconsideration of the recently adopt
ed wage scale. Their principal griev-
ance arises over the fact that while
the pay of the men is increased per
cent, Their total weekly pay will be less
than they receive now. because the Sat-
urtlay half holiday allowed them actual
ly reduces the working hours for
which they receive pay from forty
eight a week to forty-four hours a
week.
In other words. while their pay is
higher while they work. they work
less hours than before.
Secretary Daniels said he had
granted the request for conference,
but did not see how he could inn
prove the situation under existing
conditions. The Saturday half holt
day WAS adopted at the request Of
the men themselves. he said. The
question was simply one of having

adopted resulted in increasing the pay
Of the men and at the same time
averted a large reduction of the
force. The saving made by the Satur-
day half holiday helped to pay the
wages of the men who otherwise
would have had to be discharged.

that increased appropriations be
made for the navy yards, and If that
ia done. he said, it will be possible
to revise the pay schedules and make
increases where it seems advisable.

SAYS PACKERS GET
BUT ONE PER CENT

ATLANTIC CITY. n. J., September
13.-Addressing the opening session
of the convention of the American
meat packers here today, Thomas e.
Wilson of Chicago. president OF the
association. said that none of the big
FIVE" packers received as much rs q
cent and a half of profit on each dol
lar OF sales made in 1913.
Mr.. Wilson made public the profits
and sales of the eighty-one American
corporations.
QuOtes Figures.
These eighty-cne corporations. with
an invested capital and surplus OF
about FIVE and two-thirds billions OF
dollars. handled about nine and a
quarter billions Of dollars worth Of
these during 1919, which netted near
ly six hundred millions OF dollars in
profits" said Mr.. Wilson. The COM
bIned business Of the five packers was
about threes. and one-half billion dol
little more than thirty-four million
collars.
THE combined business of the other
seventy-six corporations was about
six billions, or double that OF the 1--WE
packers. on which they received ag-
compared with $34.329.471 for the hve
packers.
None of the packers received as
much as a cent apd a half of profit on
each dollar of sales that year. One
packer earned only an eighth Of
cent per dollar OF sales. while the
average of the Ave was less than
cent-0.83
Labor Gets High Wages.
In speaking Of the relations between
meat pa ckng companies and their
employees Mr.. Wilson said:
THE problem of reduction in the
cost of living rests largely with those
who produce. Our labor is receiving
the highest wage in the history OF in
dustry, and tbs up to the workers TO
produce enough to increase the pur-
chasing power of the money which
has been added to their pay enye-
lopes."
Mr.. Wilson stated that the restric-
ton of credit and general financial
strineency have forced many pro-
ducers to market their live stock pre-
maturely. with resulting losses in
money and in production.

leaders Of Montana-upon whom
Townley has been relying for the
creation of a farmerlabor alliance
in this state that could carry out
the Non Partisan League program.
OF course. the radical movement is
disconcerting. but Montana and North
Dakota do not furnish the same OPP
portunities for success to a radical
program like that attempted by
Townley.
For one thing. North Dakota is a
homogeneous unit Of farmers. Here
labor has an altogether different set
Of aims. Moreover. the big copper
companies. with billions in wealth and
assets. are not amateurs in the game
of fighting radicals. They have a
their bosoms.. and. while the business
interests Of North Dakota have finally
organized to tight the Non-Partisan
League ana have already scalped a
few state offices. the conservatives and
money power in Montana are already
well equipped to handle the Non
Partisan League even II 1t should
happen to get possession of the state
government next. autumn.
Neither the Coz, nor Roosevelt trip
politically. Criticism Of the speeches
and texts chosen for Montana was
heard by the writer not only among
republicans but democrats.
Some of the radicals who are sup
posed to be supporting the democratic
national ticket weren't won by Gov
Cox's boasts about his failure to use
the bayonet to settle labor disputes
They are all inclined to regard Cox
and Wilson as Identical. and they
would have really shouted for the
democratic presidential nominee II ne
had said he would free Debs and the
other Inhabitants Of federal jails.
Also, while Coy. Cox pledged him.
self to plead the Irish cause before
the league of nations II he were
elected, the Friends Of Irish Freedom
declined TO be satisfied with that,
and some OF them announced that
Coz wouldn't do. They haven't any
assurance that Harding is any more
friendly to the Irish than is Cox.
but around Butte many Irish demo-
Gratis say they will vote for the re-
publican presidential nominee.
All these defections from the demo-
cratic ranks are expected to be made
up by the new votes that will be cast
by former republicans who are a
part Of the Nom Partisan League move
ment and who, in their anxiety to
nut the said league in power. Will
vote the straight democratic ticket,
presidential electors and all. Gov
Cox's chances Of carrying the state
are unquestionably better than those
Of Senator Harding.
