Lay Off Navy Employes
Boston, July I.—Nearly 1,500 of
the 2,000 men employed at the
Charlestown navy yard, were affect
ed by a lay off which went into
effect today because of the failure
of congress to make provisions for
the payment of their wages. The
only emplopes kept at work were
those who were absolutely neces
sary to the service such as police,
fireman and clerks. Customs em
ployes are affected also.
A lady delegate to the Baltimore
Convention is worth $2,000,000.
The only way to buy her vote is to
tell her that her hat is adorable.
