SAY ENGLISHMEN PUT

Four Engineer Officers Left
Steamer.

q. NORFOLK. Va. June 1S.--Members
of the crew of the steamship East

seized by custom officers in New York

aboard the ship by four engineer Off
GERS, who left the vessel aIter the

Capt. W. ]. Johnson. skipper of the

knowledge of the hiding of the ma
chine guns on his vessel until they
were found by the New York customs
officials, and declared he had no rea-
son to believe that any one now on
board had anything to do with the
conspiracy to smuggle the guns
aboard.
Members of the crew, however, were
not backward in asserting that the
four engineers and probably one or
two others of the crew were involved
in the scheVe. The guns were brought
to the ships side, wrapped in burlap,
they said, and word was passed

PHONE OPERATORS
IN GREAT DEMAND
Service Expected to Be Poor
Next Fall Unless Girls =
Are Recruited.

Telephone service is likely to go
down in quality next fal! and winter
unless more Washington girls become
ing, A. f. Berry, president of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Company
declared today.
With the city talking" at the rate
OF about $4,000 calls day. the COM
pany is able to keep Il sufficient num-
Der of girls for the present.
But in the fall. when the volume OF
business VIII mount 10 10000 and
more calls day. the company should
have approximately 900 more oper-
ators. An expert of the company has
estimated however. that the company
Will be lucky if it recruits All by that
time.
During recent months the company
has mad turnover of about ninety
three operators month. Through
an intensive recruiting campaign II
has been possible since January to
Keep the number of appointments
slightly ahead of designations.
Republicans Start Wires HumminE.
Up to March the company had an
ample supply of operators in relation
to the volume of business. With the
arrival OF the new administration,
however. telephone business suddenly
took squirt. Mr.. Berry explained. and
they had to make a hurried drive for
more girls.
Although the Public Utilities Com
mission voiced its belief at the last
rate hearing that the company should
get rid of all of the out-of-town oper-
ators who were brought here during
the war. Mr.. Berry said today it has
been impossible to send all Of them
home. because of the difficulty expert
cnced in getting local girls.
Thn ,it.S,i .
ing to send the foreign operators
home was based on the item of ex-
pense of providing dormitories and
meals for them.
Experienced Girls Lacking.
The company has found. Mr.. Berry
stated, that it would in reality have
been cheaper to keep all of the out
of-town operators. These girls. he
said. were trained and thoroughly
efficient operators. With local girls
coming and going at the rate of
ninety-threc u month. a much larger
force is required than would be neceS-
sary with the out-of-iown girls, 'he
explained.
An official explained that although
a girl is placed at the switchboa rd
after four weeks of schooling, she is
not trained operator for nearly
eighteen months.
The company now starts operators
at SlI a week. Their pay is increased
as they improve in ability. A large
number of the local operators are now
averaging S23 a week, il was stated
while in few cases girls who have
remained with the company for a long
period of years are earning s37 and
$40.
Mr.. Berry explained that the prin-
cipal cause Of the difficulty in getting
operators here is the fact that the
number of available women between
eighteen and twenty-five in Washing
ton is small in comparison to the
number Of operators required.
