ARMS WORKERS

Scout Idea Of World Peace
By Discontinuance Of
Manufacture.

Navy yard and arsenal workers
have refused to help establish world
peace by discontinuing the manu-
facture Of arms and war machinery
on the grounds that 1t would mean
cutting of their own threats"
This decision was the result of q
proposal made yesterday by WILL
lam H Johnson, president of the
international Machinists' Union, to
the effect that world peace could
be brought about If the manufac-
ture OF arms and munitions were
stopped.
Nelson P. Alifas, head of district
forty-four of the union, said yes
terday in reference to Johnson's
proposal:
The navy yard and arsenal work
ers nave taken no such stand as
the support of such a movement
While the delegates to the recent
Rochester convention may be in
faVors OF 1t, there is no such senti-
ment among the government en-
ployes. l personally believe no
more than per cent would favor
closing the yards and arsenals."
Johnsen, in making his proposal,
said:
Modern wars are fought with
machinery created and fashioned by
the hands of machinists and their
related craftsmen. The worlds
peace and safety rests in their
hands"

POLICE AT MEETING LAUDED
BY DISTRICT OFFICIALS AND
PROMISED BETTER CONDITIONS

Washington will have the most
efficient and contented police force
in the world II prophesies, promises
and we'll wishes expressed by two
District Commissioners and the SUI
perintendeht OF police at a meeting
last night of several hundred mem
bers of the Policemen's Association

out.
Commissioner ]. Thilman Hend-
rick told the guardians of peace
that he hoped they would be better

man emogized the force and urged
the provision of a place for target
practice, and Maj. Harry L. Cess
ford ( declared he had asked the
Commissioners to recommend 10
forms for new members Of the
force.
Duties More Complicated.
Commissioner Hendrick declared
that the duties of a policeman are
more complicated today than they
were fifty years ago and that they
require many different kinds OF
qualifications. Criminals of today.
he said, who resort to force, are few
compared with those who resort TO
chicanery and cunning, and a po-
liceman must be a man of men,
tality who can think straight, talk
straight and shoot straight in ad-
ditlon to physical qualifcat tions.
The Commissioner, however, laid
stress upon the Importance of cheer
fulness and kindliness when occa-
sion demanded. There is a time to
see and there is time to be blind" {"
he said. often a few words of ad-
vice and a little tolerance and
charity will serve far better than a
club"
Faithfulness Commended.
The Washington police force is
to be commended for its faithful
ness, he said. Although not as great
in numbers as their duty requires,
there is less grumbling and threats

licemen than among any other SINH

Pay Increase Asked.
Maj. Gessford. superintendent of
police, after urging that all Wash
ington policemen become members
of the association, told them he had
asked the Commissioners to recon-
mend to Congress an increase in
pay.
He also asked, he said, that provi-
sion be made for furnishing new
men who come on the force with
uniforms. The necessity for pur-
rhHSing Their cwn uniforms, he said,
deters many men from making ap-
plication on the force.

for uniforming new members of the

an opening wedge Which, in time
will result in all uniforms being
furnished by the District.
