By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, September 18.—Sir ‘Austen Chamberlain, first lord of the admi- ralty, told the House of Commons yes- terday that if any more British seamen refused to obey orders they would im- mediately be dealt with under the navy discipline act. He made the announcement during a brief discussion of the “strike” which developed in the Atlantic fleet at In- vergordon, Scotland, as a result of pay cuts in the government's economy pro- gram. | l Instructed to Cut Pay. A few ironical questions were put by Labor members, one of whom wanted to know Whehher the cuts had been agreed visionally by the i government before its fall. Bir oot | replied that when he took over the ad- miralty after the new cabinet had been | formed he found instructions to reduce .w Prime Minister Ramsay MacDoneld declared the Labor government had | Dbeen told by the admiralty the men’ would accept the cuts loyally. To the surprise of every one, lust eve- ning’s debate on the fleet unrest was Ilhurt -lived. The members adopted a | “least said, soonest mended” attitude ‘znd the expected attack from the Labor benches failed to mateiralize. “The past is past,” Sir Austen said. “It is in the interests of the men in the navy and those outside the navy to forget it.” He added little to the country’s meager information about the | actual events at Invergordon. To Investigate Hardships. “It speaks well for general discipline,” he said, “that the matter should have passed so quietly, with no disturbance except in the usual routine of duty.” Sir Austen again emphasized the in- tention of the admiralty to investigate all cases of hardship arising from pay reductions, and he implied that men involved in the “strike” would not suf- fer penalties. The commander in chief of the fleet handled the affair well, he said, and lhe nnlon cmlld look forward to the ing confidently on the tra- fliflons ot the DNAavy. Two or three ot.her members spoke and then the matter was dropped by general conunt. Bhl’. Steam Homeward. ‘While the House of Commons was in Session the ships ‘of the Atlantic fleet were steaming south from Inver- rordon toward their home ports. They put out afteg some delay, it being nec- ecsary for the officers to address the men on the subject of the admiralty's to investigate cases of hard- ship and to assure them the ships were returning to their home ports and not to_distant stations. 1t was assumed also that the men were informed of the admiralty’s de- cision u invoke the naval discipiine act against who continued to re- fuse to obey orders.
