WORKMAN GROSS’ DISCHARGE. The Navy Bonrd’s Report--The Com- _ Pluinant’s Protest. The case of Charles Gross is again -be- fcre the Navy Department. Gross is a dis- churged laborer at the navy yard. He was employed in the department cf yards and dccks, and, with several other laborers, was discharged @ few weeks ago, on the ground of “lack of work.” Gross made a vigorous protest to the Secretary of the Navy against his discharge. He charged generally that the foreman of the yard had discriminated against hii! and the other unfortuaates on political grounds. Accord- ing to Gross, the foreman had caused the Gischarge .of, good, sober and competent men, and the retention of inefficient men of Gistipated havits. He also alleged that the foreman had intrusted important work to men who were drunk and unfit to perform it. Secretary Herbert considered the matter, finally referred it to the commandant of the yard for investigation and report. In his tetter to the commandant, the Sec- retary called speeifically for @ report as to the cause of the discharge of Gross, and added that the charges contained in the latter's petition, which did not bear on that point, “were ‘so indefinite as not to call for investigation.” “ommodore Howell, in command of the yard, appointed a consistigg of Lieut. Commander A. Dunlap and Lieuts. J. H. Moore and J. J. Knapp, to ascertain the facts’ connected with the dis Gross. The board nas just comr duty. Its report is brief, but positive. The b ‘d_ informed the that “Charles Gross was discharged from ‘lack of funds’ by the head of the department {the officer in charge of the department of yards and docks) with the approval of the commandant, in accordance with the pro- — of @ of navy yard order, 23 re- vised.” The order referred to‘is one of the regu- lations of the Navy Department governing the employment of labor at mavy yards. It is as follows: “When discharges are Necessary from Want of work they shall be made on navy yard orders, form 7, by the head of the de- periment, subject to the approval of the commandaat, and those whose services are a least value shall be first dispensed with.” The commandant sent a copy of the re- port to the Navy Department, and Secre- tary Herbert sent # letter to Mr. Gross in- nagar him of the result of the investiga- Groxs’ Complaint. A second petition, asking @ full and com- plete investigation, and stating the names of all parties concerned, is, according to Mr. A. B. Webb, attorney for Gross, soon to be Presented to the Secretary of the Navy. Gross and his attorney complained that the investigating board did not give to Gross full opportunity to bé heard. The + they claim, Legan an investigation at the — ee: 27, and, after the exam!na- on of une or two witnesses, adjourned until the Ist ultimo. On the latter date, Attorney Webb declares, he went to the yard pre- pared to g> ahead with the investigation, but was advised hy the beard that it hac de- cided not to.eater any further into the in- Vestigation. “It seems, from, their action,” says Mr. Gross, “that they are determined that the facts in the case shall net be known to the public; at least, through that body of men, and I cannot consider such proceed- ings any more or less than a farce.” It is intimated that in the seeond petition, soon to be presented,” charges of political maneuvering will be made, involving sev- eral prominent persons.
