ALL TRADES TO
QUIT AT NOON
Metal Trades Council Issues UI-
timatum to Officials of
Shipbuilding Plant.
BOTH SIDES RETICENT
Neither Labor Leaders Nor
Plant Officials Will State
Reasons for WalkOut.
BOTH SIDES RETICENT

All trades affiliated with the Pensa-
cola Metal Trades Council have been
ordered to strike at the Pensacola
Shipyard at noon today unless the
company grants their demands before
that time. A committee from the
council waited on officials Of the plant
yesterday and placed before them the
demands of the tradesmen.
In the committee which interviewed
Captain Stewart and Frank G. Cren-
shaw were H. S. Kelley, president of
the Central Trades & Labor Council,
Mcclure of the Machinists' Local,
Edgar Of the Boilermakers' and Stew
art OF the Ironworkers'.
The ship carpenters, caulkers and
painters withdrew from the Metal
Trades Council about a month ago and
it is understood they are not affected
by the strike order. The reason for
the withdrawal of the carpenters from
the Council has never been made pub
lie but it is known that some little
friction had developed from time to
time.
Union leaders last night declined
to discuss the strike order. special
meeting of the Metal Trades Council
was neIO at bOlleTH1dheTS T1dii last
night and the strike order was dis
cussed for several hours. No report
from the meeting was made public,
however.
Assistant General Manager Frank
Crenshaw admitted last night that the
strike notice had been given but de-
clined to say what grounds the Metal
Council had given for the walkout. He
said he wanted the union leaders to
give their side of the story first.
Apparently the trouble has been
brewing since it was announced that
there would be a general cut in the
operating force in order to obtain
greater efficiency. Mr.. Crenshaw an
nounced some weeks ago that any man
who had not been producing to ca
pacjty would go and recently some
men, including one foreman, or more,
are understood to have been dis
charged The strike IS said to have
grown out of a demand that fore
man be reinstated or that the men be
given the privilege of selecting their
own foreman.

CASE
TAKESNEW TURN
Allied Reply to Wilson Not Yet
Public, But Reopening of
Question Is Intimated.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-President Will
Gil regarding the Adriatic question,
which caused something of a. stir in
this as well as in other allied countries.
apparently has served to reopen the
whole subject to negotiation.
The Supreme Councils reply was
received today but withheld pending
steps to ascertain whether Great
Britain. France and Italy desire it
made public. 1t was said the United
States favors publicity. Officials re-
fused to comment on London advices
saying the reply was conciliatory
The suggestion came from Europe
today that the premiers invited the
United States if it still held that the
original Adriatic agreement made in
Paris, December Q, should be carried
out, to indicate practical steps to do
so, if it is accepted by Italy and Jugo-
Slavia.
There is reason to believe, however.
that the general tendency Of the reply
is to invite the United States to come
forward with some solution of the
problem.
1t is understood the president has
the operation of the treaty Of Yer
sailles and the league of nations the
United States should be a party to the
Adriatic settlement because of its po-
sition as a belligerent.
Under the Paris agreement Fiume
was to have become a free state under
the league of nations and in other re-
spects general principle of self deter
mination was to be put into force, but
meanwhile DAnnunzios o c cupie d
F'iume and Italy has been unable or
indisposed to remove him.

suit of representations by Viscount
Grey, ambassador to the United States,

Andrew Bonar Law, the government
spokesman, replied there was not the

gestion. Indeed" Mr. Bonar Law

MANY VIEWS ON
Sale OF SHIPS
Chairman Payne Says 1t Would
Cost SIS, 100000 to Recon-
ditiOn tIie Vessels.
STEVENS OPPOSES SALE
Payne Declares Government Has
No Machinery With Which
to Operate the Ships.

Washington, Feb. Is. - Conflicting
opinions as to the advisability of i'm
mediate sale of 80 CORNER German
liners recently offered by the Shipping
Board We're presented to the Senate
Commerce Committee todav. Chairman
Payne said reconditioning for pas
senger service would cost more than
SIS, ,O00. 900 and offered a resolution
approved by three of the four members
of the board requesting authority to
sell the ships. All bids recently re-
ceived have been rejected, he SAID.
Vice-Chairman Stevens of the board,
declared against immediate sale say
ing the true valuation had not been
worked out, and advised that the
vessels be reconditioned before being
sold.
Stevens placed the value of the
fleet at nearly $75,O00,O0O.
In a prepared statement which Mr..
Payne read to the committee, he re-
called that the board had sold 18S
ships in accord with its policy to dis
pose of the fleet to American citizens
for operation, the American flag and
that former German cargo vessels
were included in this number. The
price received was $93,545,94T.
Chairman Payne said if congress de-
sired to change this policy to public
ownership of ships the passenger
liners should not be sold and congress
should direct the board to spend the
$4,000, 900 estimated as necessary to
convert them from troop to passenger
vessels.
1T should be understood" he said.
that the ships. whether owned by
the government or by private capital
must in either case be operated by the
shipping companies which are bidding
for the ships. The government has
no adequate organization for the direct
operation of ships.
IF the government continues to be
the owner it must pay the operators
ceipts and take whatever profit re-
mains. or if no profit remains, must
bear all the losses
The chairman went on to say that
in accord with the Joint resolution
congress under which the ships were
taken over a naval board had ap-
preached the craft and that the prices
at which the board could sell now
were substantially in excess of the ap-
praised value.
Mr.. Payne said passenger ships
were scarce now and building prices
high, but that these conditions might
change and the value of the ships be
correspondingly lessened.
