drastic cut in civilian instructors, who are trained and experienced teachers.
 An old controversy is revived in the matter, there being navy of ficers who hold that as much instruc- tion of midshipmen as possible should be by naval officers. Those opposed to them hold that in the general branches better instruction is given by trained teachers.
 In 1914, following an investigation of the system of instruction at the Naval Academy a large number of civilian teachers were installed, and the number has been increased from time to time. Now, it is feared, the force will be cut to such an extent that it will exert little influence in the education of midshipmen.
 Rear Admiral Henry B. Wilson, superintendent of the school said the reduction was made necessary by the decreased appropriation made by con- gress for the payment of instructors. He also said the selections of those to be retained were made for the best interests of the naval academy.
 Confined to Civilians.
 It will be noted, however, that the decrease in the teaching force ap- pears to have fallen entirely upon ci- william instructors. As far as is now known there will be no cut in the number of naval officers assigned here as instructors.
 It is also claimed that the cut in the teaching force is out of all pro- portion to the decrease in the num- Der of midshipmen. The decrease in the number of midshipmen is entire ly in the fourth, or lowest class, which is about one-third of the usual number. However, the teaching force of civilians has been cut about one third.
 On the other hand, it must be said that the practice at the Academy is to have small sections and intensive instruction, while a larger proportion of civilian teachers has been assigned to the fourth class than to any oth- CT.
 The teachers who have been drop ped feel the blow very keenly. Many of them have acquired homes in An napoGs and are closely identified with the activities of the community. Steps already have been taken to lay the whole matter before congress and there is every indication that a bitter fight is impending.

LABOR DAY 1924
By JOHN L. LEWIS
President. United Mine Workers Of America

AS long as toll for their daily bread there VIII be
Labor Day in America. One day will be set apart from
all the others in honor of labor There will always be
day when the Oers may lay aside THEN tasks and renew
their loyalty to the undying principles upon when the
American labor movement is founded And well that
1t is right that the American public should pause
day in the year and celebrate the fact that IN
this great country labor is free that labor IS noble that
labor is digned that labor is honorable. This spendid
nation built by the hands and brains of those who
toled their duties in the moulding of American So
ciety and civilization 1t was due to the labor OF those
pioneers that the waste places cleared and made to
bloom in the sunlight Labor is responsible for all OF the
development that has taken place in America All pro-
gress has from the hands Of labor Why should we
not all be proud that counted among the aborers
of the land when labor has accomplished SO much?
And why should we not all be proud that we are num-
bered among the hosts that have organized themselves
much to those who toll? Millions have banded themselves
together for mutual protection and mutual good That's
what the labor movement means. We who within the
folds of this movement realize the benefits that come from
association Only those who refuse this boon those
who arrogany deprived Of the right to join the
losers Labor Day should remind all that it is
moral duty help brother toers by bringing them
under the banner of the labor movement.
On this Labor Day let us renew determination to
spread the light of trade unonsm into all the land and
all the people and to carry the torch forward until its
light is made to shine in the hearts of all Complete
organization of labor in America is and should be the aim
of the trade union movement. None should faer, none
should fail until this task of hundred percent organ
ization is accomplished fact Nothing less will do

USELESS Waste COSTS BILLIONS:
WORKERS URGED TO PRODUCE MORE

Washington, Aug. 16.-At every
duce more. The latest excuse for this
advice is a report on the length of
European work days, issued by the
Federation of British Industries.
Commenting on this report, one labor
adviser, disregarding every experience
and every industrial history, feverish-
ly asks:
Can America, with a short work
ing day, hold its own in the markets
of the world with European countries
that have long working day."
These advisers assume that business
management is perfect and that laboS
is the one drawback to 100 per
cent production. Investigations by
skilled engineers reveal an astonish-
ing waste in American production.
| They show, for instance, that en-
ployers are responsible for 81 per
cent of the waste in the metal indus
try. In textiles, labor is blamed for
but 10 per cent of the waste.
Untold billions of dollars are annu-
ally wasted by management, but this
| is ignored by advisors of labor, who
call on the workers to produce
more," while large percentages OF
this production is wasted.
In "Waste in Industry" a report
by the Hoover committee, is listed
wastes that border on the criminal,
and that should sting the public con-
science.
The report is signed by a committee
of Is engineers, appointed by Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover. These
engineers present waste in industry
under four major heads:
"Low production caused by faulty
management of materials, plant,
equipment and men.
interrupted production, caused by
idle men, idle materials, idle plants,
idle equipment.
Restricted production Intentionally
caused by owners, management or
labor.
Lost production caused by i'll
health, physical defects and industrial
accidents"
As an indication of homogeneous
hsip-shod methods, the report states
that few building contractors keep ac-
curate records that they may know
the unit of cost from day to day. IN
the recent hearing" says the report,
"a claim was made by a contractor
that bricklayer laid 1900 brick be-
FREQ the war and was laying 500 in
1921. This was answered very prop
erly by representatives Of the work
men that without more knowledge,
variations in the kinds Of walls made
comparisons like this absurd" 1t was
estimated that 100000 days a year
could be saved in the building indus
try by the application of safety
methods.
In the metal industry 1t was found
in all caess an adequate cost system
as to the cost of production. The
labor turnover in this industry aver
ages 100 per cent. In some shops
the turnover amounted to 300 per
cent. This means an annual waste of
$l00,000,000 because of the cost of
"breaking in" new labor.
Millions of persons are annually
sick through preventable disease. OF
the 100000 workers who die each
year." the report states, sit is prob
able that the death of at least one
half is poStponable, by proper medical
supervision, periodic medical eXami-
nation, health education and commu-
nifty hygiene"
at has been estimated that the
economic loss from preventable dis
ease and death is S1,S00,00O, 900
among those classed as gainfully
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1924-08-29

employed--or over $7OO,OOO,OOO among
industrial workers in the more limited
meaning of the term"
The report is a reproach to the
boosted efficiency of American indus
try. 1t is challenge to those who
urge workers to produce more" while
ignoring conditions that shorten the
liyes of workers and cause wastes
that annually total vast sums.

McSovereign and Co. present an act that s very rarely seen because of the difficulties in erforming the same. The Maske q Voice" is a tenor, and quite a wei! known one at that.

"WHEN A GIRL LOVES"
 IYCEUM

One striking scene of contrast in When a Girl Loves" the newest Victor Hugo Halperin production. now at the Lyceum is that showing the effect of revolution on the royal ists.
 Important roles are capably DOT trayed by Agnes Ayres, Percy Mar mont, Kathlyn Williams, Robert Mekim, George Eeigmann, Mary AL den and the Rex Ingram protege, John George, who has the role of the hunchback.
 Although the early scenes of the picture take place in Russia, the succeeding and concluding ones oc- cur in New York city. The theme is a good one and into 1t is woven a tale of faithless husband, a trust . ing wife, a vamping woman and a man of mystery.

POWERED WAGON" - PALACE

POWERED WAGON" - PALACE
 James Cruze's photoplay master piece, playing the Palace all this week still continues to draw large crowds and the capacity houses yes- terday were thrilled with this TO- nance of the perilous. glorious days of '49. The production IS presented here the same as on Broadway where it enjoyed the record run or one year and four months at the Criterion theater. A special aug mented orchestra plays the music score which is a big hit with the picture. It is doubtful as to wheth-, CT another photoplay will be made that will equal&or better the record of this wonderful photoplay. An idea of it's greatness may be obtain ed from that fact that the cast in cludes thousands of men, women, children, horses and oxen. end the caravan that brought these hardy pioneers across the western plains Was a covered wagon train two miles long. Their difficulties and hardshlps along the route. besides running into many bands of savage Indians give the spectator a glimpse of the struggles of the early settlers in settling this country.

FAKE SOLDIER JAILED
Four Months in Jail Is Penalty Given 10 Man Who Masqucradcd AS an Army Officer.

San Francisco, Oct, 2,-"Count" Alexander Dudley Van Maurik de Beaufort, arrested here for illegally wearing uniforms of the United States and Belgian armies, was sen- tenccd in federal court yesterday to four months in jail after he had beaded guilty.
 He had attracted considerable at tention here and in Los Angeles as "a Belgian count" He also admit ed having sold can openers on the streets of San Francisco, just as an adventure"
 The "count" is widely known in the east and in Chicago where he once was the husband of lrma Kil- gallen, an heiress.
 De Beaufort was arrested in a suite of rooms at a large hotel here. He said he wore his uniform to please some ladies who had been his hostesses." Federal authorities say he is Dutch and not Belgian and that he is not a count.
