with British warShips massing
in the Mediterranean as result
of Premier Mussolini'S defiance of
the League of Nations, the state
Department today moved swiftly
to protect American neutrality in
the war toward which Europe ap-
pears to be plunging headlong.
A list of all the munitions manu-.
facturers in the United States was
being compiled hurriedly by the
State Department.
AS soon as this list is completed,
notice will be served on every
arms and munitions manufacturer
in the country to register with the
State Department.
Will Require Licenses
The munitions manufacturers
will be given six to eight weeks
to submit full list of all the i'm
plements of war which they manu-
facture.
At the expiration of that period,
they will be forbidden by the
State Department to ship a single
gun, bullet or other implement of
war outside the United States
without a special license from
Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
Any violation of this order will
be punished by a $4,000 fine, or
five years imprisonment, or both.
Paves Way For Embargo
This action is being taken by
the State Department under
authority of the munitions con-
troll act, passed at the last session
of Congress.
It will pave the way for i'm
position of an arms embargo by
President Roosevelt if war actual.
ly breaks out in Europe.
It also will give the government
a check on the sale of implements
of war to foreign nations and en-
able the government to turn the
full glare of publicity upon what
ever sales are made.

NAVY LACK

REVEALED
Admiral StandIey Tells
of Need for AuxiIi-
ary Vessels

Lack of modern auxiliary ships
in the American Navy was dis.
closed today by Admiral William
H. Standley, chief of naval opera
tions, as seriously impairing eff"
cient operation of the fleet.
Not only are these ships, which
are vital to the fleet during ma.
neuvers or battles, so antiquated
that they do not function effici'
emily, but there is sore need for
an increase in their numbers, the
naval chief declared.
Ships falling into the auxiliary
category include fuel tenders, re
pair ships, cargo vessels and am
mmunition ships.
Defense Weakened
Asked if such a condition would
put the United States fleet on a
defensive basis in the event OF
battle, Admiral Standley said he
preferred not to comment. He
admitted, however. that even in
peacetime maneuvers, the nations
first line of defense is so seri
ously handicapped that fleet prob
lens cannot be properly executed
He declared:
with the exception Of one
of two vessels, all of the ships
now in our auxiliary fleet we're
constructed before or during
World War;"
Both he and Secretary OF the
Navy Claude A. Swanson asserted
that none of this country'S aux
iliary craft can compare either
in efficiency or speed with those
being built or recently completed
by Great Britain and Japan.
Speed Too Low
Many of the fleet repair and
cargo ships are capable of not
more than eight knots an hour,
it was revealed.
At least five new ships are
needed properly to service the
fleet during engagements, the
Navy Department heads declared.
With the completion in 1912 Of
new battleships, deStroyers ana

STRIKE.
IN TEXTILE
MILLS
20 Per Cent Wage Boost Asked
BY Workers of Uxbridge Co.;
Seven Plants Affected

BOSTON, June "a QNSO.
Looming as a possible forerunner
of a widespread textile strike,
$500 employees of the Uxbridge
Worsted Company, with seven
mills in New England, walked out
today demanding a 20 per cent
wage increase.
Sponsored by the executive
council of the worsted and wooden
department of the United Textile
Workers of America and au-
thorized by National President
Thomas F. Mcmahon, the strike
affected employees in four mills at
Pascoag and WoonSocket, R. l.,
mills in Lowell and Uxbridge,
Mass, and one in Putnam, Conn.
Horace, U. Riviere, of Man
chester, N. H., vice president Of
the u, T. w. u, was in charge.
He had urged strikers to oppose
violently" any attempt of mills
to employ strikebreakers. Picket
groups moved about the various
mills today. A union walkout at
the AmeS Worsted Mills in South
bridge was anticipated.
The strike today resulted from
the alleged failure of the company
to keep an agreement made last
February, union officials said.
Wage increases were. refused but
company officials compromised,
allowing a survey to be made of
wages in other plants. If the
Uxbridge mills were found to be
paying below wages in the other
mills, union officials said, owners
agreed to raise the wage standard
in the Uxbridge group.

Map Relief Projects
"The responsibility for getting

"The responsibility for getting
the wOrk.relief program under
way in the District is yours"
Heads of all departments of the
District government were told this
today by Commissioner George E.
Allen, works projects administra-
tor for the District, as he went
over regulations governing the
spending of Washington's share of
the 4,000-million-dollar fund.
He added:
eff there are some things in
your department you want done,
it will be to your advantage to
get them in as soon as possible.
It's all up to you, but If / were
running a department I'd have
some projects in here tomorrow
for approval"
After listening to Mr.. Allen and
his two aides in the work-relief
set-up-Capt. Howard F. Clark
and w. c. Cleary-the so or more
department heads returned to
their offices to work out projects
by which Commissioner Allen
hopes to employ approximately
$4,000 "employables" now on re-
lief on worthwhile jobs.
The department heads were told
that at least 80 per cent of their
personnel on any project should
be taken from relief rolls.
Commissioner Allen stressed the
necessity for projects which would
keep the workers employed for a
year. He said he hoped the first
project would be under way by the
middle of July, and that all $4,000
"employables" would be off the
relief rolls by early fall.
All projects, or series of prof.
ects, must cost not more than
5000 per year for each man taken
off the relief rolls, including
wages, materials and other costs.
Projects on which the chief cost
is for labor will be given the most
favorable consideration, Mr.. Allen
indicated.
