NAVY HOUSECLEANING

The navy department is engaged in gen cra housekeeping to get rid of everything of value not necessary to the proper maintenance and operation of the fleet In the past few weeks 166 naval vessels have been declared obsolete and sold. In one deal 112 submarine chasers were disposed of to Philadelphia firm that intends to use them in trading in Mexican and West Indian waters. These old battleships
 four cruisers and two gunboats, have been condemned and are now being stripped of their fittings preparatory to their sale as junk. A survey of the dcpartment's s real estate holdings has disclosed scme surprising facts In 1857 l LOO acres of white oak timberland were ac- Qured in Georgia from which to cut material for wooden shipbuilding purposes The tract is still owned by the government. At Sackett's Harbor, New York, tract of land was bought in 1874 for a con mandant's s headquarters, but it has been abandoncd for more than half a cen tury except for d caretaker. It is expected that the survey will reveal other pieces of real es- tate, acquired during the war for special pur
 poses, that can TOW be disposed of to advantage.

u. S. Rail Chiefs
Oppose Continuing
Adjustment Boards
Report OH Request of Labor
Unions for National
Agreements ON Working
Conditions Is Adopted

Members OF the Association Of Rail
way Executives, representing more
than 80 per cent Of the country's rail-
road mileage. at a meeting yesterday
in the board room Of the New York,
New Haven e. Hartford placed them
selves on record as being opposed to
continuation of the national boards
OF adjustment that were set up during
the war to aid in settling wage prob
lens.
The association also adopted a re-
port relating to the request of the
labor unions for the formation OF ma
tional agreements affecting working
conditions, the contents Of which will be
presented to the United States Railroad
Labor Board at a hearing in Chicago on
Monday. Although not TO be made pub
lie until then, it is understood that
the transportation executives have de-
cided to stand firm in their announced
attitude Of dealing with their en-
ployees as individual roads.
Among other important matters that
we're considered at yesterdays gather
ing was the question Of adjusting
balances between Canadian and Amer
lean railroads that had resulted be
cause Of the depreciation IF Canadian
exchange. This was referred to a COM
nittee Of railway accounting officers
for final adjustment.
Discussion also took place Of the
railroads inability to collect from the

25O.OOO in Cold
Sent Here to Buv
Supplies for Turks
Guaranty Trust Co. Agent
for Transfer of Metal
TO This Country to Pay
for American Foodstuffs

Acting on behalf of the Turkish gov
ernment, the Guaranty Trust Company
is shipping s25o,ooo in gold from its
Office in Constantinople to New York
for the purchase Of foodstutfs and
other commodities in this market. Al
bert Breton, head of the foreign de-
partment OF the Guaranty Trust COM
pany, in confirming cable report rela-
tive to the transaction, said that the
matter had been handled at the other
end, and that all Of the details were
not known here. According to Mr..
Breton this is the first shipment OF
Turkish gold to the United States in
many years.
While other shipments may follow, it
is not believed that the movement OF
gold from Turkey will be large in the
aggregate, owing to the fact that the
supply OF metal at Constantinople is
extremely limited. Ordinarily the pur-
chases of -four and other commodities
to be made here would be financed
through the purchase Of exchange on
London or New York, but sterling and
dollar rates in the Turkish capital, ac-
cording to Mr.. Breton, are so high as
to make the cost almost prohibitive.
The Shipment OF gold from Turkey
adds one more to the growing list Of
countries sending gold to the United
States. At present the metal Is COM
ing from England, India and China,
while Russia would ship metal here if
the authorities would accept it.
