WAGE CUTS
Mass Meeting Of 1000 to Be
Held Tomorrow to Voice
Disapproval.

A monster mass meeting, attend
ed by 1000 employees of the Wash
ington navy yard, will be held at
the Avenue Grand Theater tomor-
row morning to protest against
the wage reduction ordered by the
navy wage board and approved by
Secretary of the Navy DENLY.
To Formulate Protest.
The meeting is to be held under the
auspices Of Columbia Lodge, No. 174,
international Association of Machin-
lists. but will be open to all employees
Of the yard, regardless of what trade
organization they belong to.
Representatives of the various yard
trades met last night and again this

which will be presented to the Secre-
tary of the Navy. This protest will
be presented at the mass meeting to.

.ployes affected by the wage cut will
sign 1t.
II no relief Is obtained by this meth
od, the protest VIII De taken 10 Presi-
dent Harding. It was stated.
Cuts Called Unfair.
Although 1t Is claimed that the cut
in wages averages from 10 to 20 per
cent, a number Of the Navy Yard Gm-
ployes declare that their wages are cut
as high as 40 to so per cent. One man
alone stated that under the new wage
scale his salary would be cut almost
500 month.
According to employees of the
Navy Yard, the new wage cut, il al
lowed to go into effect, will not only
deprive employees of the yard fund
necessary to maintain standards OF
living. but will imperil the necessi-
ties for maintaining health and
decency." 1t is also claimed that
the wage cuts generally are dras.
tically unfair, and that the employees
win face real hardships this winter
IL they are put into effect with the
cost Of living as high as 1t is.

HAROLD LLOYD FINDS
II LAUGHTER IN LIFE

Those shell-rimmed, but glassless,
spectacles that Harold Lloyd wears

happy thought. They are the result
of study of the Psychology Of laugh

Laughter and life are two Of the
cosnmonest, simplest things. In its
{purest form ,! laughter is life The
more life, the more laughter. And in
the weaknesses Of human nature is to

In life it is laughing matter to
see a dignified person lose hts dig

q banana peel. It Is laughable mat
ter to see an efficient person make q
4mistake-for instance, a deft waiter
spill the soup.
Il Because at one time shelled-rim-
med glasses were always synonymous
with learned people, such as profess
sors or scientists, they acquired a
dignity that even their present popu-
larity cannot entirely dispel.

Group consciousness is strong in all
in Montenegro. There are three po-
litical parties-those favoring the &C.
complished union with Siberia, those
favoring a republic, and the Italian
supporters, followers of the deposed
king. The Comitadji are generally
royalist in sympathy. Political argu-
ments in Montenegro are settled with
rifle bullets and every Montenegrin
is an ardent political partisan.

desperate of the bandit leaders is

AMERICAN NERVE SAVES

oners, inbound from Poland, leaked
out here today. 49,
The American was Captain Stettler;
over six feet tall, born in Joplin, NO.,
a globe-trotter, with no knowledge of
what fear means.
The incident occurred during the
Polish outbreak in Upper Silesia last
year. Stettler, then associated with
Colonel Goodyear of Buffalo, N. Y,
on the American coal commission,
was helping Goodyear to clear up the
uprising. He had been across the line
into Poland, located prisoners drag
ged off by the Poles, and also large
group of men, women and children

Having had good relations with
both the German and Polish sides,
Stettler was able to induce the Polish
commandant to surrender the prison.

toward an armistice. With difficulty
he obtained a train for the refugees,
and had reached the border line
where the hatred between Poles and
Germans was particularly bitter.
A mob collected as the train pulled
in. Each car bore, an American flag.
The crowd grew vicious, threatening
to massacre the whole group of pris-
oners.
Here is where the captain, the
American flag, the nerve and the bluff
come in.
Taking Polish interpreter with
him, and carrying a little American
flag in one hand and his revolver in
the other, he proceeded to tell the
Polish leader something.
'''This train is under American pro-
tection," he said, land if you shoot
upon it, you are shooting at America.
