WAN PROOF IN
NAVY PAY PLEA

Capt. Frank II. Clark, chairman Of
the Navy Wage Board which has
been holding hearings in Washing
ton this week to determine new pay
rates for Navy Yard employees dur
Ing the coming year, objected at to-
days session against unsupported
statements made before the board by
labor representatives.
Almost every witness has declared
prevailing wage rates being paid BY
private companiek are higher than
rates recommended for Navy Yard
workers by local boards. Captain
Clark indicated that he could attach
little weight to such assertions I'M
less they are accompanied by docu-
mentary proofs.
James Wilson, president of the
Patternmakers League Of North
America, asked that a uniform rate
of $1.12 an hour be established for
patternmakers employed in the Navy
Yard here, and other naval plants
alo the Atlantic coast
Painters employed in the Washing
ton and other yards apparently are
not interested in the wage hearing
as they had given him no informa
ton upon which to base pleas in
their behalf. William j. Gallagher,

The Board Of Education was stand

pline Mr.. FURY for sentiments ex-
pressed by him In a magazine con
corning socialism.
Entering a contest for definition
OF socialism. the teacher wrote:
Socialism is big question mark.
It asks why, with all the wonder
fully productive machinery and I'm.
proved methods of organization, the
workers are still slaves. 1t asks
why our civilization is so cruel and
ugly. 1t asks why little children
still toll in factories. 1t asks why
those who create do not enjoy the
advantages of what it created; why
those who build automobiles walk,
those who build Pullmans ride IN
box cars, those who build palaces
! live in novels, 1t asks: Is not the

created a Frankenstein that has

General Fries, in his complaint to
DIR. Frank G. Ba1lou, superintendent
of schools, wrote: "a man who will
write such a definition of Socialism

with export demand slack today for
