SIMS OFFENCE IS
sept1S LE UHlU
SECRETARY DENNY
Offending Admiral Is Publicly
Repriman1ed by Superior
FORMER CENSURE is CITED
Head of Navy Denounces the I'M
propriety Of Remarks on
Foreign Soil

Wash ngtGn, D. c., June 25.--Rear
Admiral Wi liam s. Sims was publicly
repr manded yesterday by Secretary
Denby for his Sim Fein speech in
London on Iune 5
After receiving the reprimand which
was in the form OF written Official
communication from Secretary DENLY,
Admral Sims called on President
Harding at the White House and then
left for Newport to resume his duties
as head of the Naval War College,
The text Of Secretary Denby's repri-
mand Of Rear Admiral Sims follows:
On June s, 1921, there appeared in
the public press throughout the eoun-
try a report of certain statements al
eyed to have been made by you on
the occasion of a luncheon given in
London on the prev Gus day at which
you were the guest of the English
Speaking Union.
These public statements if correctly
rencrted, dealt with matters which
probably should be the subject of COM
ment by no high government official
other than one to whom the care of
our foreign policy is entrusted.
Your letter of June %, in which you
furnish the department with an alb
stract of the speech delivered by you
ON the occasion in question confirms
in essentia! points the aforesaid press
reports, and shows that on a public
occasion in foreign country you gave
.utterance to the fol owing statements.
Here the secretary quoted Admiral
Sims Sim Fein Speech. The repri-
mand continues;
The department insists on maintain
ing both the precedent and the pro-
pr ETY. which forblds a government SER
want of your position discussing such
matters in foreign country
That the impropriety of such public
utterance has once before been
brought to your attention is shown
by the fact that public reprimand
was adm nistered to you in 1911 for
making the following statement in
a public speech in London "Tf the
time ever comes when the British
empire is seriously meanced by an
external enemy il is my op nion that
you may count upon every man,
every dollar every drop of b ood of
your kindred across the sea"
In the reprimand above mentioned
the duties and sponsibilitles of Of
ficers Of the Navy who speak in pub
lie were clearly and fully set forth.
Your remarks on the occasion now
under scusjion, therefore, constitute
fragrant and deliberate disregard of
specific instructions.
The department deplores the fact
that it is necessary to rebuke a flag
officer in public but YOU have made
such action unavoidable.
The department expresse its strong
and mqua ifed sapproval of your
co1duct in having again delivered
highly improper speech in foreign
country and you are hereby publicly
rprimanded,

disturbed by the announcement.
Dave is confident tA1t he has the best
aggregation of bail players in all this

been pulling off star stunts both on

considered by critics as among the
top notchers in college baseball.

the Sunday game.
Great enthusiasm is being mani

police investigation has failed to lay
Bristol's ghost" and after more than
weeks excitement strange meanings
and groanings continue to emanate
from the "haunted house in the resi-

FEDERATION VOTES
AGAINST EQUALITY

Puts Down Constitutional A.
mendment for Gentler Sex
TROLLEY WORKERS OBJECT

males to Work
TROLLEY WORKERS OBJECT

Denver Col, June 25.-The conven
tion of the American Federation OF
Labor yesterday voted down a consti-
tutional amendment designed to give
women equal rights and privileges
of membership in the union of their
trade or industry" All affiliated
unions, however, were urged not to
discriminate against the woman wage
Garner and to admit her to member
ship.
Efforts to wipe out the "color line
in organized labor also ia led. The
convention took the stand that ma
tional and international unions
could not be compelled to recognize
negro workers and that this was a
matter to be adjusted by conferences
between the negro wage earners and
the various organizations.
The committees report rejecting
the constitutional amendment to give
women Industrial equality defend
ed the federation's stand on women
in industry and cited efforts to get
better wages and working conditions
for them.
II declared that only a few unions
were discriminating against women
and for that reason disapproyed the
amendment and urged that chose in
ternational and national organiza'
tons which do not admit women TO
membership give early consideration
for such admission"
w. D. Mahon, President OF the
Amalgamated Association OF Street
and Electric Railway Employees de-
clared that his organization would
not allow the federation to dictate
TO it in the matter of woman's labor.
He said he was in favor of protee-
tion for woman workers but he did
not believe that the back platform
of a street car was the place for a
woman.
The defeated constitutional amend
ment would have provided for the Is
surance of separate charter by the
Federation to woman's local
without the consent of the union
having jurisdiction over the particu-
lar trade
