Reductions in personnel over the last five years have cut the working force at the yard down from 10,000 men to 2,339, the present figure. A program has now been out by Rear Admiral B. F. Hut commandant of the Washingten N Yard and superintendent of the naval gun factory, by which replacement work and work on new guns will be spread over the next two yes Further cuts in personnel are n now contemplated, and there is prospect that some of the 65 emplc “furloughed” a few weeks ago may be brought back to complete the gun program. | New Cruisers to Be Built.

J. By the Associated Press LONG BRANCH, N. J., August 17. —Two firemen and a 18-year-old girl were burned to death, two other fire- men and two women were injured and 1600 guests were routed from their |rooms yesterday, when fire destroyed the dining room and servants’ quar- ters of the New Atlantic Hotel on Ocean avenue. The damage was esti- mated at between $30,000 and $40,000. A ship some distance at sea sent in' the alarm after observers aboard had seen the smoke at § o'clock. Leona Allen of New York City, a waltress, was suffocated when she re- turned to her room to get her clothing and money The two firemen, Wilbur Lioyd and Raymond Dinan, were killed when the roof of the dining room fell as they were fighting the flames from above. Two waitresses were injured before they could escape from their rooms. One of them was rescued by a police- man from the roof. The hotel was crowded with regular and week end guests. Most of them deserted their roms without taking any of their possessions. The hotel was sold a week ago by Harry Glazer, who is still the man. ager. It is a frame and stucco struc- ture jobs, these redictions were expected. The disarmament conference of 1922, with its consequent reduction in arma- ments, in which the United States was a leader, caused further reductions, and slackening of Navy ordnance work all along the line has resulted in constant dismissals for the past three vears. Slashes in the personnel of skilled workers at the navy yard have cost the jobs of hundreds of Washington men who had held their posts for many years. That 'situation, according to assur- ances given at the Navy Department today, is at an end. The force at the big rd is down to bedrock, and no further reductions are looked for, while some of the employes now on “furlough” may be called back to take up the big gun construction work on the two newest vessels of the Navy. STATE ENTERS FIGHT ON OKLAHOMA UNION Offers Aid in Prosecution of Four Miners Jailed for Hold- ing Meeting. By the Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., August 17.—The State attorney general staff will be placed at the disposal of A. N. Boatman, Okmulgee County attor- brought in State Criminal Court of Appeals by four union coal miners of the Henryetta district, Gov. Trapp said yesterday. The miners were arrested for al- leged violation of Sheriff John Rus- sell’s order prohibiting religious meet- ings of miners in_ the vicinity of op- erating mines. The appeals will be heard tomorrow. “The case, of course, will be in the hands of Boatman,” the governor said. “but the State stands ready to lend its assistance through George Short, attorney general, and his assistants, in fighting the appeals.” Trapp said he had been advised by legal counsel that Russell's sten banning further gatherings of striking miners in religious services calculated to induce non-union miners to desert their work was made in conformity with the State constitu- tion. The right of a man to work for whom he pleases, or of a man to em- ploy whom he pleases, as long as a satisfactory wage scale can be reach- ed between them, is closely defined in the constitution,” the governor said. “It is up tg the court to ‘decide whether Russell has acted in accord with the statutes in attempting to prevent the strikers from persuading the workers to quit through the medium of religious meetings.” Maj. Peyton Gordon, United States Attorney, left Saturday for Bay Head. N. J., where he will take his vaca- tion. He was accompanied by Mrs. Gordon and their daughter.
