The Department of Justice, from

that operators, anticipating long ago
the wage increases now given, had

EQUALIZE WAGES.
The wage scale revision will tend
more to equalize the wages. rather
than grant any large increases to any
one class. the Secretary said.
He indicated very clearly that tho
full amount asked by the navy yard
workers would not be granted. It
was pointed out in this connection
that the data presented by the me-
chanics, for instance, in support or
their claim for higher wages. did not
accord with data collected by the navy
authorities.
While the increases viii necessitate
the reduction of the navy yard forces,
Secretary Daniels said he hoped to
hold this reduction to a minimum.

the Secretary. s''The members of the
board worked diligently to complete
their task and made every effort to
carry out the promises of the depart
ment."
The increases to be awarded the
clerical forces of the various yards is
expected to be slightly higher than
that given the mechanical workers,
as the Secretary pointed out this
class of employees had received small
raises during the war in proportion
to what mechanics received.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Four Of

A radio message received early to-

the Delaware breakwater.
SAVED BY PHONE BUOY.
The plight of the SIS was discover
ed when the George w. Goethals, an
American vessel. saw a telephone
buoy floating from the submarine.
The buoy was ringing and a small
boat was lowered from the Goethale.
The telephone operator in the sub
marine said the vessel had been dis
abled then for thirty-five hours. She
was almost vertical. making 1T i'm
possible to release any of tho crew

and an air hose inserted.
Later cables were passed about the
submerged vessel to hold 1t from

said of Meswinsy, dying in BriI-
ton prison: "Hs is posing as q
martyr, when he is 8 fool" Some
thing similar was said by the
