DEN|ESU S. SPECIALLY
HELPED STANDARD OIL
State Department Says It Gave
Only Such Aid in Palestine as
Americans Usually Get.

Formal denial was made by the
State Department today of published
statements attributed to Henry Nor
genthau. former ambassador to Tur-
key, that the department made spe-
cial efforts to aid the Standard Oil
Company in obtaining certain oil
rights in Palestine by furnishing a
representative of the company with
letter to support his position in
negotiations with the British Dutch
Shell Company.
The departments statement said
that apparently Mr.. Morgenthau u
either had been incorrectly reported
or had been misinformed. The only
action taken by the department, it is
said. which would possibly be refer
red to in the published account was
it's mandate notes asking for equal
opportunity for American enterprise
in mandate territories, an attitude
which this administration has taken
with respect to Palestine sepa-
rately." the statement says. "the only
action taken there was to obtain from
the British government the recogni-
tion of the legal rights already ac-
quired by the Standard Oil Company
in Palestine through permits which
had been issued to that company, and
the department did no more than it
does for any American citizen in sup
porting its legally acquired rights"

NAVY YARD WAGES
TOO Low, IS CLAIM
Government Unable to Com.
pete With Outside Firms for
Labor. Say Workers.

Admission that the Navy wage
board erred last year in making Sc
we're cuts in the wages of employees
at the navy yards was contained in
a subsequent order of the Navy De-
partment directing that the employees
be advanced one step in grade was
charged at the hearing today OF navy
yard employees representatives be-
fore the naval general wage board
of review.
The board is hearing the evidence
of the mems representatives to de-
termine whether the reports of the
separate navy yard wage boards
recommendations for wages for navy
yard workers for 1928 shall be ap-
proved. The hearings. which have
been going on for four days, are ex-
pected to be concluded today.
Subsequent to the report of the gen.
eral wage board last yeat. which made
such drastic cuts. John F. Dring. rep
resenting the molders at the New
port, r. l., naval station. the matter
was taken up with the Navy Depart
ment. The officials of the department
admitted that the cuts had been too
severe, he said. but informed the men
that the wage board could not be con-
vened again. He directed that the men
be advanced one step in rating, which
had the effect of increasing they
wages above those allowed by the
general board.
Methods Are Attacked.
Mr.. Dring attacked the methods
used by the wage boards in gather
ing their data, and Commander Dun
can at Newport had informed him
Dring said, that the local board there
had found 1t necessary to throw out
so per cent of the answers to the ques-
tionnaries because they were consider
ed unreliable He said it was admitted
by members of the board. who inform
ed him personally that they took into
consideration only such answers as
seemed to them to be right"
If the board found SO many unre-
liable answers, Mr.. Dring asked if it
was not reasonable to assume that
all the data were unreliable and that
the methods of gathering 1t were
faulty.
He pointed out that ranking officers
of the Navy had written that the
work of navy yard employees was sec
ond to none in the world. and then
asked. if this be true. why the de-
wages. Mr.. Dring called attention
Of the board to the number of men
quitting. and asked that they ex-
anime the resignation slips. They
will show. he said, that they left the
navy yard to take positions at from
$40 to $50 more a week than the
government was paying. More than
loo of the best mechanics Of the
Newport station had quit during the
past year, he said, and this condition
is "endangering the public inter-
