EFFECT OF POISON GASES ON
NAVAL VESSELS UNDER BATTLE
CONDITIONS MILL BE TRIED OUT
Experiments VIII Es Conducted Off the At
lantic Coast Beginning June Fl in an At
tempt to Show That the Navy Must I'm
mediately Build Up Defense Against
Asphyxiation.
(BY THE ASSOCIATED rREssl

Washington, May IL (By Tho
Associated PreSS)--The use of poi
sonous gases against naval vessels
under stimulated battle conditions
will be tested for the first time
during bombing experiments to be
conducted off the Atlantic coast,
beginning Juno q, While army
and navy aerial forces are cooper
ating in an effort to demonstrate
the effectiveness of aerial bombs
against modern naval vessels, the
chemical warfare service Of the
army will be launching poison
gas attack from the air against one
or more warships in an attempt to
show that the navy must immedi-
ately build up defenses against
asphyxiation.
Men to Wear Gas Masks
The ship to be gassed is to have
crew. Non-explosive bombs fill
ed with tear gas will be dropped
and every man on the vessel will
he required - keep within the pro-
tected areas and wear gas mask.
Officers Of the chemical warfare
service believe that by using a gas
of sufficient strength to incapaci.
tate but not to kill the service can
prove its contention that in the
next war battleships must be made
literally air tight.
The chemical warfare service
and the war department are CO.
operating in conducting expert
ments in the use of toxic gases at
sea and In building up adequate
defenses for American sailors. As
a result. important changes may
be made in the design of the new
ships and of some under construc-
ton,
"Tear Cas- Described
The tear gas" is known to
chemists as brombenzylcyanide.
The mixture is intolerable to the
eyes but is not dangerous. Army
officers assert it is Of a concentra-
tion and persistency similar to the
instantly fatal gases which the
chemical warfare service is pre-
pared to use against hostile navy
in time of war.
Army Officers said that the VEN
tilating system of all warships was
based on suction system. This
system. they declared, would be the
chief ally of an enemy gas attack, 4
sucking into all parts of the ves-
sci the deadly gases introduced into

kill instantly.
Another Deadly Weapon.
The chemical warfare service
has also developed. it was learned
another deadly weapon to be used
in naval warfare. 1t is toxic
smoke called diphenylchlorine II
Is designed to be used in place OF
the smoke screen.
This toxic smoke" consists of
dense poisonous dust clouds de-
signed to be liberated on the sea
through bombs and smoke boxes
placed In the windward of the enc
my. The poison dust will be drawn
into the ventilating system of the
hostile ships, officers assert, with
particularly deadly effect. u
The chemical warfare service
also is working on the development
of a system of placing a smoke
screen over fleet by the use of
smoke bombs attached to para
chutes and dropped from aircraft
or similar bombs fired from guns
on the vessels. A smoke or gas is
being developed for this use.
Naval Officers Concerned.
Naval officers admit that they
are concerned over the application
of chemical science to war on the
sea. At the annual chemical war
fare service dinner recently, Rear
Admiral w. Smith. in charge of
patents and inventions at the navy
department, declared that the navy
was not nearly 50 concerned over
the prospect of being "blown out
of the water" by aerial bombs as
1t was over the development of
poison gases, as an offensive weap-
on.
A study Of the subject is being
made at the navy department.. Ma
val officers are particularly inter-
ested in report this week that all
the destroyefs of one Of the great
powers have been provided with
two boxes to be kept in the fire
rooms, one to generate dense
clouds of deadly poison gas
through the smoke stacks and the
other to develop q dense smoke
screen.
First Test on June 81.
The first of the coming tests
against naval vessels will be con-
Quoted Jointly by army and navy
aircraft June 81. against one Of the
ex-German submarines. it was an
nounced. A preliminary plan was
drawn up yesterday by the joint
army and navy board in charge of
the experiments and submitted to-
day to Admiral H. B. Wilson, COM
of the Atlantic fleet, who
will superintend the tests. Final
details will be worked out by the
board May Is. Other tests will be
on until late in July.
After the aerial attack on the
submarine. the flyers will bomb

submarines and destroyers. Live |
bombs will be used against these

A. F. of l.. Will Oppose Any
Attempt to Repeal the
Luxury Levy and Substi-
tute a Levy on Sales.
PLAN NOW FOLLOWED
IS MORE EQUITABLE
Claim That the Proposed
Change Would Place the
Burden on the Workers
and Add to Living Cost.

ClLlClHlldIl, May IL ne
American Federation of
Labor will oppose any at
tempt to repeal the system
of excise or luxury" tax
and substitute a sales tax.
This policy was decided
on by the executive council
of the federation today. The
council, it is understood, re-
CARDS any effort to substi-
tute a sales tax for the ex-
else tax as an attempt to
shift the burden of taxation
from capital to labor.
Labor officials explained that or
ganized labor believes that the
present system is more equita bic.
They claim that the sales tax would
not only place the burden of taxa
tion on the workers, but would add
TO the cost of living.
Opportunity to Profitecr
With the excise or luxury tax re-
pealed, labor officials sad, the
manufactures. merchant and other
big interests would be given a re-
.newed opportunity to profiteer.
The stand Of the executive coun-
ell will be incorporated in the
councils report to the annual con-
vention at Denver
The council also decided to carry
on the fight to obtain repeal Of
the Kansas court of Industrial r"'
lation law. Tho council has con-
dcmned the bill as an act eetab-
lishlng involuntary servitude for
the workers of Kansas" and a pro
lection for the interests of the own
ers of public utilities and all in-
dustries at the expense of the em-
pIoyes."
Court Is Condemned
The Kansas court also is de-
clared to be "relic of legislation
of the fifteenth century that es-
tablished autocracy in industry by
law" Besides being violation of
tho thirteenth amendment, the
court Is also condemned as an 'un-
Just. tyrannical and un-American
The council also will urge that
the federation take steps to have
anti-strike and anti-labor legisla-
ton repealed and renew its drive
to prevent passage of further anti
labor legislation.
Care of the Unemployed.
A delegation from the Interna-
tional Brotherhood welfare asso-
headed by James Eads
How. of ST Louis, today asked that
the council take steps to urge on
congress the necessity OF taking
care of the unemployed. He said
he was especially Interested in the
of the hoboes. Mr.. How,

four million and five million un-

ions. Other labor leaders said that
