RESUME FIGHT
Socialist Assemblymen
Campaign in New York
For Reelection.

New York. Sept. 13.-On the issue
that the principles Of Republican
government were violated by the
action of the last legislature in
ousting them, the fve Socialist as
semblymen who We're deprived of
their offices are making a deter
mined attempt to be returned to
Albany at special elections.
Open air meetings and house to
house canvassing are the main fea-
lures Of the Socialist campaign.
Every evening at scores OF street
corners the Socialist speakers are
making their appeal to the people.
August Claessers, ousted assem-
blyman. is chief spokesman of the
five. Claessers is confident of re-
election.
Although Claessers intimated that
his personal convictions were far
more radical than the mild form of
Socialism" which he professed to be
restricting himself to in this cam
paign, he declared that the Socialist
party was opposed to violence.

Daniels Offers Scanty Hopes

In Conference Win Workers

Little hope for radical anne nd
ments to the navy wage award to
meet demands of employees who cN-
press dissatisfaction with the per
cent increase is held out by SeCrc-
tary of the Navy Joscphus Daniels.
He yesterday afternoon received
delegations representing 5000 en-
pleyes of navy yards throughout
the United States. including 5000 in
Washington.
Secretary Daniels said, following
the conference:
1T is felt by certain employees of
the Navy Yard that in making the
award provision WAS not made for
various desirable mea sureS. This
may be attributed either to improp-
er presentation Of the workers
needs or by lack of consideration by
the board.
In either event the matters which
appear to cause dissatisfaction with
the award will be looked into.
Committees from the planners
and estimators and other workers
were here this afternoon.
1T was impossible to make a
greater increase than is provided
for in the new scale without reduC-
ing the number of working hours.

We considered it preferable TO adopt

In speaking of the necessity Of
keeping within the appropriation
the Secretary said that at the last

that the House had turned the
measure down.
''One consideration that had
weight in reducing the number Of

The validity of the sanction ac-

why the advice of American ship

why depleted Shipping Board Of
