DENLY DEFENDS
DISMISSALS OF
NAVY YARD MEN
Secretary Says Order
Stopped Expense of
Useless Work.

1T was a necessary act which
we had to do in a cruel way"
Secretary of Navy DENLY yester-
day thus explained the release
without warning Of $1,000 men
from navy yards throughout the
country.
Gradual release of employees
possibly would have been more hu-
manitarian." the Secretary con-
tinued. bot II would have involved
expenditure of from s10o.0oe to
s2ee. geo day on useless work.
Merely BUSINESS Props&ftfsa-.
Defending the furloughfng or
der, Mr.. DENLY said, to avoid un-
warranted extravagance, work on
ships and material scrapped by the
hve-power treaty had to be stopped
as soon as that pact was signed.
No acticn could be taken before
that time, Mr.. DENLY said, and any
delay afterward would have been
unfair to the American people. The
order was merely a business prop.
osition.
Secretary Denby's Office Is ex-
pected to reply to. Mr.. Gompers-
plan early next week. Navy De-
partment experts are working on
the fifteen proposals submitted by
the labor leader. it was stated.
Officials intimated that any plan
of general relief will have to come
through Congressional action. The
navy's constructive program was
largely eliminated by the fve-power
pact. it is pointed out, and work on
the ships and equipment automatic
ally stopped.
Gets Small Arms from Army,
Discussing the proposed plan of
the machinists' union to have small
arms manufactured in navy plants.
Mr.. DENLY said he did not regard
this as economically sound, as the
navy now gets its small arms from
army plants. 1t is not thought ad-
visable to take away work from
army plants in order to give navy
Yards employment. Moreover. IL was
said. considerable change In navy
ward machinery would be necessitat-
hv this plan.
Thirty-one additional employees
were released at the local yard YES
'er6ay. Others will follow between
now and the latter partof the month,
according to Capt. J. II. DAYTON,
commandant of the yard. It is ex-
pected that approximately 12k per
cent of the Office force wiH receive
"furloughs" before March 1.
Work Reported slack.
Union representatives who have
not received furloughs report work
slack in the local yard. Further
reductions among skilled workmen
is feared by union officials unless
additional work Is received.
Efforts of the executive commit
tee of Local ia to find employment
for unemployed members have met
with practically no results. Union
officials report that a number of
the unmarried men are leaving the
city.
President Johnston, of the In
ternational Association Of Ma
chinists advises furloughed men
not to dissipate their funds travel
ling in search Of work. There is
not an Industrial center. he says,
that is not burdened with uncm-
ployed. -.
