SHIPYARD WORKERS.
VOTE 10 BE ANNOUNCED
Union Heads to Receive Report at
New York Thursday on Cues
tion of Wage Reduction.

Results of the referendum vote now
being taken among shipyard work
ers on acceptance of lower wage
scales will be reported next Thursday
in New York at meeting of union
heads. Reports from various districts
are reaching American Federation of
Labor headquarters here by wire, but
will not be made public.
The refere ndum was ordered after
committees representing the Bcthle-
hem Shipbuilding Corporation and the
Atlantic Coast Shipbuilders' Associa-
ton had served notice on the unions
that u reduction of production costs
was necessary because of business de-
preston.
The Bethlehem Company proposed a
20 per cent cut. effective not later
than today. Union leaders objected
to the short time allowed to learn the
sentiment of the workers and today
professed ignorance as to whether the
company would proceed with the re-
duction without awaiting the result
of the referendum.

The most severe thunder storm
of the season struck this section last
night about Z o'clock and continued
to rage intermittently for more than
four hours, lightning striking many
places, streets and buildings being
flooded and considerable damage
done to wires and trees by the strong
wind. The storm took the form of
a cloudburst, the entire sky being
overcast during the time the showers
passed over this vicinity. There ap-
peared to be a number of terrific
electric storms following so close
upon each other that one had not
passed completely away before
another was raging.
Thunder clouds could be seen
forming during the afternoon, the
intense heat making a shower at

o'clock no white sky could be seen,

by the state house commission di-
rectly upon the Civil Service Com
mission, and that as long as the
responsibility rests there. those reg
ulations would be strictly observed.
In view of the fact that the meet
ing was called for the purpose of
clarifying certain points as well as
to consider the budget requests,
most of the afternoon was devoted
to the asking of questions by those
assembled.
John A. Reddan. of the budget
commission. also spoke and told of
the manner in which the commits
sion acted on applications. He said
that most of the department heads
looked upon the filling of the budget
blanks in similar manner in which
they receive their income tax
blanks, "They look at it in the light
of drudgery" said Mr.. Reddan.
The Importance of studying
economy in the preparation of the
budget will be understood from the
fact that the total budget last win
ter as submitted to the legislature
by Governor Edwards was S27,O17,-
2SS,06. The plan is to have this
greatly reduced.

Plans For Economy Will
Saue State Much Mon 3y
Also Speed Up Business

TBy Evening News Correspondent
TRENTON, July 20.-If the sug-
gestions for economy and for con-
ducting all state departments on an
actual business basis, as made by
Governor Edwards and the State
Budget Commission at the governors
budget conference yesterday, are
observed, not only will the state save
considerable money, but the busi-
ness of the commonwealth will be
speeded up and there will be many
reforms in the handling of affairs of
the state.
There is 10. of speculation today
about that big "if."
Poorly Arranged.
Governor Edwards declared that
many state departments are poorly
organized from a business stand
point. and then told the assembled
heads of departments. board and
com missions to study the operation
of their respective offices and ascer-
tain how they could be put on a real
businesslike basis. If the governor
insists on his suggestions that every
employee he put on production
basis all absenteeism be cut out
duplication eliminated, etc, New
Jersey will see a complete revolu-
tion in its business methods.
Some of the unbusiness-lik
methods referred to by the gov
crnor have been known for years,
and there will be a general hope
that the governor will continue this
crusade for business reform.
Definite Regulations
Charles p. Messick, chief exam
iner and secretary of the Civil Ser
vice Commission, addressed the
meeting calling further attention to
the necessity of specific and definite
explanation of all regulations in
connection with the salary and
wages for state employees. He call
eG attention to the recent commun-
ication issued by the State Civil Ser
vice Commission, at the direction of
the State House Commission, re-
minding the department heads that
the responsibility for this necessary
regulation and control was placed
