result in lack of public support for
a large fleet after the war.
These younger officers contend
that the Navy should enliven fra
dition with little imagination and
release as much news as possible
in order to give the men of tbs
fleet the credit due them, and to
glamorize the part they are PLAYING
in winning the war.
Instead, the Navy, which seems
to cling much more to tradition
than the Army. insists on keepjnp
its mouth shut, while the Almv
and especially the Army Air Cops
grabs the news spotlight and keeps
hammering home the importance
of what they are doing to win the
war.
Admiral Ernest j. King, com,
mander-in-chief of the fleet, has
been blamed for the rigid censor
ship on Navy news. There is am.
pie evidence, however, that much
of the news is throttled by men
on his staff.
Many good story gathers dust
in Navy safe because some of
ficer in high position believes that
the enemy might learn something
if it were published. Some stories
are kept locked up even after the
essential facts have been broad
cast by the enemy radio.
If the bottleneck on Navy news
is ever broken, the credit should
go to a few far-sighted officers Of

The occasional steak which you
are able to find nowadays may
soon have to be broiled without
benefit of mushrooms.
AS reported earlier in this col.
umn, OPA has been plagued by
mushroom growers demanding
price ceiling on manure. OPAaY
finally have decided rot to tackle
this one because of anticipated pub
lie ridicule.
Mushroom growers thus may be
forced out of business. The price
on the fertilizer has almost dou-
bled in recent months and they
say they cannot continue to pay
these costs and make any profit

Asks Chief
 To Resign

A letter signed by P. J. Wat kinson, as a taxpayer of the city of Kodiak, has been presented to the city clerk for pre- entation at the next council meeting. ask ing for the immediate resignation of J. H. Pierce as Chief of Police and that he return to the city the sum of $3,432.26 received in salaries.
 The letter charges that Pierce received the money illegally az he he d the position of council man at the same time contrary to a ruling of the Attorney Gen. eral of the Territory.
 If such action is not taken by the council, Watkinson states, he will bring legal action to see that it is done.
 In closing the letter says: Fur thermore, myself and the tax paye7s wi.sna I represent fsel that a man who would deIiber- ately stay in office as Chief of Police when the legality of such action was involved is not a fit and proper person to whom the welfare and law administration of this city should be entrusted in the future.
 A similar letter was mailed to Pierce. The letter will come up at the first meeting of the new council Monday night.

Mayor MieII Reelected

Of 357 registered voters 2Sl went to the polls Tuesday and reelected Mayor Nick Mlell, named W. F. Lewis transferman, Ben Sholl mechanic, L. K. Wod- finger, druggist, and B. A. Pear son, taxi driver to the council and re elected 0. A. rorgerson, unopposed, as treasurer.
 Only labor endorsed candidate not to place was Sandstrom who missed by one vote of tieing for fourth position on the council. The Progressive Party placed three of the councilmen but lost on Candidate Taylor for mayor.
 Nellie Melin, bank employee, received one write-in voc for treasurer, the position won by TorgArson, bank president and her boss.
 Headache of the election was the school board voting. With no candidates named voters were instructed to write-in t h l T choices, with the result that 81 candidates made their appear ance for the two positions. There was much criticism of the fact that neither the Labor group nor the Progressive Party saw fit to make school board nomi- nees. Charles Skinner was elect ed to the board for 2 years with 13 votes and Mrs. Merrill Coon for 8 years with g votes. If Mrs. Coon had received 2 more votes for the 2-year term she would have won both positions.
 Interest ln the election was high this year because of contro- versy over the water system and acts of Mayor Miell which were questioned as being illegal by his opposition. Both sides issued one page circulars. A mimeographed sheet unsigned, presenting argu- ments against Taylor appeared Monday and Taylor's anSwer appeared the next day.
 Complete election results, in- cluding school board candidates, are carried elsewhere.

New York City ULNS).-An arbi-
traitors decision awarding wage in
creases of per cent to 800 hat work
ers in Danbury, Conn.,, and 6 to Z per
cent to a like number in New York,
has been approved by the National

nOunced here.
Union agreements expired in New
York July -, 1912, and in Danbury

manufacturers We're unable to agree
on a wage increase, the question was
submitted to arbitration, and work
continued without interruption in both
cities.
The wage increase is retroactive to
the date of expiration of the agree
mentS and workers in both cities have
received back pay as of those dates.
Application for approval of the Z

Records Broken
In Shipbuilding

Washington d. C.-Chairman Emory
S. Land of the Maritime Commission
announced that the Nations shipyards
broke every world record for merchant
ship construction in 1912, turning out
S,O9O,S00 deadweight tons, slightly i'll
excess of the goal set by President
Roosevelt last January.
Admiral Land said the Nation is
now building merchant ships at the
rate of four a day or an annual out
put of II, 100000 tons, and that peak
production Of five ships Il day will be
reached in May. He said the shipyards
would have Il capacity of 2O,OOO,OOU
tons this year, though the amount pro
duced would depend on whether the
yards were given necessary materials
and equipment.
The Victory Fleet of 746 vessels de-
livered into service in 1912 included
542 Liberty ships, G2 tankers, 62 of
the commissions long range standard

added that the total does not include
a number of vessels built for the
armed forces, nor 800 small craft.
The figures submitted by Admiral
Land completely refute the claims OF
the National Association of Manufac-
turers that the Wage-hour law re,
Stricts working hours per man to Il
weekly and thereby restricts war pro
duction. Supplementing Admiral Land :
statistics regarding the peak record
in shipbuilding. the National Council
of American Shipbuilders reported
/ that the average weekly hours OF work
in the shipbuilding industry were 46S
and that shipbuiding construction il
