Shipbuilding company's yard Monday "at noon, there were no new develop ments in the strike situation yesterday, although' the usual .picketing during the day a'nd the' customary night mass Tieeting of the strikers took place. Many police officers were at the ship yard at the starting ' hour yesterday morning and they were there again at quitting time," but about all they did was mark time. Picketers confined their etforts to speaking to the workers and asking them -to remain off the Job until the strike was settled one ; wax ,orhe other and there was no hint of Intimidation, eltft-er by word of nouth or action. ' It was declared at the shipyard yes terday that mere men 'snowed up for ', work than oh the previous day. Wednesday's flgureB were given at 440. : Striking workmen, however, claim that those working number nearer 250 or 275 than 440. One can use his own judgment after seeing the workers '. leave the yard: : " The best of spirit Is prevailing, - as can be shown by a happening yester- ' day. Just before the heavy shower1 .fell Plant Manager KIrby Smith was -entering the yards in an automobile. As I fee passed the picketers one shouted: "Say, Mr. Smith, how about lending ; us a tarpaulin.?" - "Sure," was the answer, and In a few minutes a plant truck delivered the large canvas to the strikers, who soon converted it. into a tent that did duty during the following showers and later protected many of them from the hot eun. t While the" picketers were waiting for workers to leave the yard yesterday afternoon, one of their number made a short speech. He advised them to be orderly to continue to be as they had i since the start of the strike "as that Is the only way we can hope to win," ":he stated. ' v Shipyard officials continue to stand firm in their decision to put in effect the proposed ; wage reduction of 7 . cents per hour for . mechanics on Oc tober 7. It was this impending cut . that caused a' majority of the workers to leave the yards Monday. Whether outside men are being brought in to take the place of the strikers could not be learned some of the men out declared such was being done while others were not inclined to hold to that belief. - i Workers contend that the wage re . duction proposed at the shipyard means that they can not meet their financial . ' obligations, that statement being made in their publication issued yesterday. "The strike is four days' old; the' men are determined and standing firm. There has been no hostile . movement, nor will there be by the strikers. The - mayor and police' force compliment the strikers and eay it Is a quiet bunch, and they are anticipating no, trouble from the boys on strike. The picket ing Is. done in a quiet and peaceful manner ana in a scrictxy DusineBs-uKe way. The rorce in tne yara is very small," the bulletin says. The police guard will be maintained at the yard again this morning and this afternoon. .

The notification to" Manager Spier is that unless improvements are made in the local service in 15. days, the matter will be carried before "the state corporation commission . for ad justment. - It is contended by the chamber that installations have not been made and extensions have not been taken care' of as ordered in the ruling of the cor poration commission May.

Commander Hoilis said yesterday that a rate of 1 cent per mile .would be made by the - railroads for the le gion men going to the convention," but that he had not been advised that the Atlantic Coast Line had agreed to such arrangement. His opinion is, he stated yesterday, that the special train will not touch this city; he also expressed doubt as to its being operated over the Coast Line system, adding that he expected that Eastern Carolina legion naires would have to take It at some point on the Southern, probably Oolds boro, this being the most central point for eastern legion men. It is probable that the special will be made up there, or operated out of that city, it was stated, as schedules over other eastern roads would permit legionnaires gathering there to board the special. V Commander Hoilis said that there will be quite a number of former serv ice men to go to Kansas -City, for the convention. Already quite a number of names have "beert sent to Adjutant iBurgess, while others will be , for warded before October 10, the last date on which one can make reservation at reduced rates. , ' ' "Jaclc- Frotf Salt 1 better(adv.)
