and then may go to sleep -and forget
entirely about daylight saving until
the last Saturday of October. On that

WASHINGTON, March 19. A serious
local interruption in the shipbuilding
programme, due to demands for in
creased wages by workers, who a
month ago received substantial ad
vances In pay, was reported to the
Shipping Board today from Baltimore,
where 600 riveters, chippers, caulkers,
reamers and drillers left the bulls on
which they were working in the yards
of the Baltimore Drydock & Shipbuild
ing Company.
Mine sweepers under construction for
the Navy were left unfinished by the
strikers as well as the merchant ships
building in an effort to offset the
losses from submarines.
Explanation Kot Offered.
The company officials reported that
the walkout took place witnout any
explanation, but that they understood
the men refused to work until a de
clsion was rendered on their demand
for $10.56 a day for chippers and
caulkers and t2i a day for riveting
gangs of two men and a boy, all of
whom are, employed on what is known
as allowance work on intricate parts of
the ships' hulls. -
Officials of the Shipping Board think
the strike is an effort to force a day
wage scale on the basis of pay for spe
cial work.
Wages Now High.
The present day scale for chippers
and caulkers is 95.60 for eight hours,
with many men making greater sums
in getting time amd a half for over
time and double time for holidays and
Sundays. Riveters make even more on
piece ratea.
J. A. Franklin, - president of the
Boilermakers Union, to which most of
the strikers belong, was notified of
the trouble, and confidence was ex

CHICAGO, March 19. (Special.)
Louis Edgar Browne, in a special cable

transports arrived a few days sgo at
Theodosia, on the Black Sea. bringing
Russian troops that had left the Cau
casus front. Ammunition, animal
transports and artillery were disem
barked in disorderly aeaps on the
wharf.
The people of Theodosia were aston
ished to notice herded amid the piles
of shells and baggage many women
wearing bright Eastern garments. The
soldiers explained that the women
were bought in the open slave mar
kets of the Caucasus and were there
fore private property of the soldiers.
Some of the slave owners who were
without money hastened to -exercise the
prerogative of private ownership and
establish a local slave market, exhib
iting the women on raised platforms
and carts. The prices did not exceed
200 rubles (9100) for each woman.
Transport followed transport, each
bringing a quota of slaves and caus
ing prices to drop, until now a slave
can be bought for 2a rubles (JlZ.oO).
Tartar merchants played the part of
middlemen, purchasing slaves from the
soldiers and reselling them to rest
dents of the Crimea as laborers and
domestics.

F. W. Mulkey, ex-United States Sen
ator, will be a candidate for Senator
for the short term in the coming pri
mary election.
If he receeives the Republican nomi
nation in May and is elected in Xovem-,
ber. Senator Mulkey will tender his
resignation on the same day he quali
fies and permit the Governor to appoint
as hia successor whoever may be elect
ed United States Senator for the full
six-year term.
This announcement by Senator Mul
key' yesterday has very greatly cleared
up the Senatorial situation, which has
been fraught with uncertainty and in
decision ever since Attorney-General
Brown ruled that the voters this year
must choose two United Slates Sena
torsone for the short term and the
other for the full six-year term as suc
cessor to the late Senator Lane.
Two Must Be Elected.
By his ruling- the Attorney-General
held that United States Senator Mc-
Xary, who was appointed as Lane's
successor, could only hold under that
appointment until the November elec
tion, when it would be incumbent on
the voters to elect two Senators one
for the short term, extending from No
vember until next March, and the other
for a term of six years from March,
1919, the date of the expiration of tho
term for which Lane was elected.
In making this interpretation of th
law as to the Senatorial situation, Mr
Brown did not pass on the question as
to whether or not candidates, for Sen
ator could run for both the short and
the long terms, although constitutional
lawyers of the state, after a thorough
investigation of the statutes, have con
tended there was no statutory inhibi
tion against Senatorial aspirants seek
ing election for both terms.
Situation Is Clarified.
But the decision of Senator Mulkey
to tun for the short term and resign
immediately, if elected, clarifies the
situation considerably. By his course
Senator Mulkey relieves Senator Mc
Nary of any embarrassment th-t might
be associated with a decision- on his
part- to become a candidate for the
short and the long terra in the same
election. It would necessitate the
printing of Senator McNary's name on
the ballot twice. R. N, Stanfield and
S. B. Huston, who are contesting with
Senator McNary for the nomination
for the long term as Lane's successor.
dating from next March, had both al
ready announced that they would not
seek election for the short term.
Furthermore, the plan adopted by
Senator Mulkey will insure for the
state continuous representation by two
Senators in the National Congress.
Still another advantage accruing to
the state from the plai. is that to ba
gained in committee appointments.
Michigan Cane Cited.
In this connection Senator Mulkey
recalls that in January,- 1H07, William
Alden Smith, who was appointed
United States Senator from Michigan
to succeed Senator Alger, deceased, waa
sworn in to fill the short term and
was also elected to the long term. The
result was that Smith took precedence
in committee assignments over every
other newly elected Senator of hie
party, whose term began with the 60th
