Teacher
is Rotary
Speaker

Overwhelmingly il would
have been we'll if all Utica bust
ness men could have heard the
fine talk given before the Utica
Rotary Club Tuesday evening,
by Alger Chapoton, coach and
Civics teacher in the Columbus
Grove, Ohio, high school and n
citizen Of that city.
Chapoton, a former Utica boy
and son of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
n. Chapoton, Of Utica, gave some
ideas on civic improvements
gained as the result of observa-
tions in various towns of Michi-
gan and Ohio.
Suggestions were given by the
speaker of methods to follow in
the developing of a community,
among which were a long
time planning as to the exact
type Of community desired af-
ter a period Of development,
and the utilization of the youth
of the community.
Local business men came in
for a good-natured Gliding be-
cause Of their apparent apathy
regarding vital matters.
One thing necessary in the
development of the youth Of the
community, ChapOton said, was
the consolidation of the rural
schools about Utica into one, in
the city, and the immediate in
stallation Of manual training
shop in the schools.
He suggested that the Rotary
Club, as the leading civic organ
ization in the city, was the logi-
cal group to back this move
ment.
Mr.. Chapoton leaves for To-
ledo, Ohio, Saturday, where he
expects to be indicted into mill
tary service.

PITTSBURGH, June 10 - P)
- Leaders in the steel industry
are "steeling' themselves for a
general wage increase which
some estimate will amount to
almost S2OO,OcO,OOO a year and
become effective within 90 to 90
days.
Nearly all executives with
whom the situation was discuss
ed today said they believed the
War Labor Board would grant a
substantial pay boost in the
pending little steel" case and
that it will have to be accept

The Go United Steel Workers

increase and a union shop gree

group Of Bethlehem, Republic,
Inland Steel and the Youngs-
town Sheet and Tube Company.
The boards fact-finding panel
last week submitted a draft OF
It's preliminary finding to the
litigants and they rebutted in
Washington on Tuesday.
Informed sources said the
finding suggested tn union was
entitled to the boost because the
cost of living has increased
1872 per cent and more in steel
towns since the last 10 cents an
hour increase more than year
ego, and because workers in
other durable goods industries
are getting more pay per week,
if not per hour.
The panel will submit its
final report June 25 and the
board will start a public hear
ing on June %
ESTIMATE GIVEN
An increase of 81 a day or
II p cents an hour would
amount to about $165,OOO,OOO a
year based on the industry's

Huge Ship Bill
Goesto Senate
House Approves
Fleet Appropriation

WASHINGTON, June 10 -
lP) - An S8.55O,OO0 600 ship
construction measure designed
10 give the United States fleet
unqueStioncd world supremacy
went 10 the Senate today after
winning unanimous and en-
thusiastic House passage.
The House appropriations
committee began Immediately
the final stages of its study Of
the army's requirements, with
the likelihood that a record
high bill of approximately S40,-
100000 -- more than the
entire direct cost of World War
No. 49, would emerge for action
Tuesday.
For the past week, sub
committee on military eXpendi-
lures has been consulting high
ranking army officials, and its
report probably will offer new
evidence of the army's swiftly
expanding strength, both in men
and material.
The unprecedented naval eX-
pansion measure was passed by
the House yesterday on a roll
call vote of $40 TO o, after naval
committee members declared
completion of the program in
1916 would find this country S
fleet stronger than the combined
navies of all the rest of the
world.
The measure would authorize
construction Of 100000 tons of
aircraft carriers. 100000 tons of
light and heavy cruisers and
100000 tons of deStroyers and
destroyer escort vessels.
To combat the submarine
menace to coastwiSe shipping. it
provided also for 1000 sub
chasers, torpedo and patrol
boats.

The WLB, in the Ryan case,
granted a boost of 10 cents an

In the maintenance Of union

Girls Beached'
for Duration
q TriHe MiHed
BY JAMES T. CARTER

NEW YORK, June 10 - up
- The girls who 60 down 10 the
sea in ships - went, rather --
are a bit miffed about being
"bcached' for the duration.
IF we could ship out tomor-
row, we'd go, war or no war, "
says waitress Mary Kluchka,
pooh pooling the danger.
I'D rather be back at sea, "
shifts waitress Theresa Riggs.
Gloom pervadeS the head
quarters of the educational
Maritime Union t.ese days
where some of the Sea-going
mattresses, StewardesSes and
manicuristS forced into dry
dock" by the war are perform
ing such unromantic tasks as fill
irS records and registering men
for the work they used to do.
1t doesn't help much that
union headquarters lie but
stones throw from the Chelsea
docks, for the smell Of the old
Hudson River only makes the
girls homesick for the rolling
waves and fun in exotic ports
lie Alexandria and Rio.
Barred from the sea and all
its glamor by the government
when the war broke out, the
young ladies say they are will
ing to take war jobs to help their
country, and many of them
have.
But there are a few like Rose
Shovel, whose home was afloat
for six years, and Myrtle Tuggle,
with five years experience on
the bounding deep, who cant
stay away from the union Of
flee.
There, at least, they can see
the seamen coming and going
from their old ship jobs (the
Merchant Marine hasn't bother
cd to replace lady manicurists,
but waiting on tables and stew
ard work has to 60 ON and keep
the tang of the ocean in their
noStrils.
Theresa Riggs sums up the
union girls situation:
ITS the nearest thing to be-
ing at sea. OF C sc, we'd
rather be back at sea but as long
as we can't go, this is close to
it,"
