said the carpenters have no inten-

in perfectly orderly manner, and
we have no intention of tying up

Commander Naff, commenting
on reports that some of the car
penters stayed off their jobs at the
Thurston company last night, said
it appeared the workmen entered
the yard but refused to work un-
til they had heard the results of a
conference between Higgs and
navy officials.
Local carpenters, who started
on the defense jobs at 80 cents an
hour. won their increase to sl.00

out five months ago. They walked
out again in July, not on any de-

The property, which is valued

block bounded by Angela,

Captain Crenshaw said he has
no definite information on when
the navy may require the prop

since existing property already is

The captain said he has re-
ferred to Washington the request
of Mayor Willard NJ. Albury that
the navy expand into the army's
property at Fort Taylor, rather
than taking in any more of Key

Possible purchase of the land

taken toward its acquisition.
