TARS WIN
REVIEW OF PAY CUT
Government Will Re.Examine
Proposal as Result OF Nom
Violent Mutiny

London, Sept. 16.-(FeBluejackets
of the British navy's Atlantic fleet,
through a series of demonstrations
against cuts in pay, obtained from
the admiralty Wednesday . promise
of re-examination Of the new rates
with a view to alienation Of such
hardships as might be revealed.
Announcement was made in the
House of Commons by Sir Austen
Chamberlain, first lord Of the ad-
niralty, that ships Of the Atlantic
fleet had been ordered to proceed to
their home ports immediately.
The government had authorized
the admiralty, he added. to propose
measures for alleviating hardships in
those classes of cases in which "the
reductions press exceptionally"
He gave no details Of the origin Of
the trouble nor Of the course 1t had
taken among the men Of the fleet
who were reported to have staged
sort Of non violent mutiny in protest
against prospective pay cuts.
What he said, however. made It
clear that the government had
capitulated at least to the extent Of
investigating the complaints with .
view to remedying whatever hard
ships might be found.
A Labor member tried to open de-
bate on what he called the urgent
and definite matter abandoning the
Atlantic fleet exercises" but the
speaker ruled this out Of order.
