Refuse Wage Cut
Referendum Recently Con
ducted Among Employes on
Proposition of 10 Per Cent
--Reduction Loses.
All who have seen Woodrow Wilson during the closing days of his eight years as president of the United
States have observed the great change in his physioal appearance, caused by the breakdown in health he suf
fered many months ago. The retiring president is far from the robust man he was when he first entered the
White House in 1913. The picture, taken as he went into office, shows strength and vitality in every line of
his strong features. , Today he is far from being a well man, walking only' a few steps with the aid of a cane
and withTeatures which show the great suffering he has endured in his illness. His most recent photograph
was taken as he met with his cabinet in the last few days of his administration. 1
Washington, Feb. 22. Shipyard
workers on the Atlantic and gulf
coasts have voted against acceptance
of a 10. per cent wage reduction, it

the new wage schedule becomes ef
fective March 1.
The wage reduction, which will be
made by the 12 shipyard represent
ed in the Atlantic Coast Shipbuilders'
association, will affect between 45,000
and 50,000 men. '
The official vote cast by the union
workers in the referendum was not
made public.
A. J. Berres, president of the
.metals trade department of, the

that the unions coiitd appeal to thelt
international officers and bring about
a strike if they were dissatisfied.
"Recause of conditions in the ship
building industry today," he said, "1
do not look for any serious trouble,
although there may be some flare
ups." 5 , '
