HURLEY SEEKS AID IN' CITY
FOR GIGANTIC SHIP PROGRAM
Centlsntd from rate On
tho Government to turn out every pos
sible ship that the capacity of tho ship
yards will allow.
A similar message Is being sent to nil
big Industrial centers' of the country, for
It U realized that the tens of thousands
of men will be necessary to carry out the
great program In connection with the pres
ent crisis,
HUIILKY VISITS SHIPYARDS
Mr. Hurley visited tho various shipyards
hero today, accompanied by Read Admiral
Washington L. Capps. In order to study
the needs of the yards In this vicinity. '
He started first at the Cramp shlpynrd
and then proceeded down the river, stop
ping at the various plants along the Dela
ware. He was favorably Impressed by the
showing made along the Delaware despite
the great handicap In the way of labor
shortage
Yesterday Chairman Hurley visited the
Sparrows Point plant of tho Bethlehem
Steel Corporation near Baltimore.
Lord Northcllffe has said that tho Ameri
can Government must produce 6.000,000 tons
of shipping a year. If It Is to do no more
than supply Its armies In-the Meld. The
Shipping Board has announced a program
that calls for the completion of enough ship
construction by tho close of 1017 to glvo the
board control over the total tonnage of
9,200,000 tons. Including along with ships
built, the German ships that were eelzed
and the ships commandeered.
It Is very doubtful whether his program
can be carried out unless labor skilled la
bor Is supplied In greater quantities than
are now available.
NAVAL WORK NKEDS
For, In addition to this tremendous mer
chant shipbuilding program, the Navy De
partment Is letting contrncts for between
100 and 200 dest'oyers (the exact number
Is not to be printed), and because these de-
stroyers are so vitally needed In the Job of
fighting submarine and convoying troops
and supply ships the navy demands that
the contractors put to work on them all the
labor they can get. The Fore River 'Ship
building Corporation alone, which has been
Awarded contract for the construction of
forty-six of these on tho mar
ket ! R00 men and must of course, have
them,
Other yards, those engaged on naval con
struction and those engaged on merchant
ships, are desperately seeking to get all the
labor that Is available.
Day In and day out for weeks nt o time
tho heads of the shipping board and tho
shipbuilding corporations have been work
ing over the problem, not to speak of the
work which tho men nf the Navy Depart
ment were giving the same subject.
RECRUITING CAMPS PLANNED
In desperation the shipping board has
selicd on the Idea of a. rocrultlng camp to
draw the skilled labor of the country,
suitable for steel and wooden ship con
struction, to the yards. With the money
that has already been made available
$760,000,000 for merchant ships nnd $350,
000.000 for destroyers and with the ma
terials that can readily be requisitioned,
tho work on both tho commerce vessels nnd
the navy craft could go ahead easily with
out hindrance ono to the other, but for the
matter of labor.
Just what methods are to be followed In
tho recruiting campaign will be made public,
It Is assumed, along with tho coming an
nouncement. Droadly speaking, all that
thoso In charge of It can hope foe Is that
they will be able to educate labor through
out tho country as to tho advantages to
be obtained from work In the yards, with
tho added prospect, which Is already being
faced by the Shipping Board, of offering
even higher wages than aro now being
paid.

harbors should bo Improved next to facili
tate the work of tho American navy.

witcrways to permit the operation of the

it Is expected that tho navy will want cer
tain rivers deepened In order that shipbuild
ing plants may be built at a safe distance

bility of having gunboats nnd certain other
naval vessels sent to Miami, Fla., for the

tion on occupational grounds. The district

CAMP DIX, Wrlghtstown, N. J., Oct. 9,
The omcers In chargo here are threaten
ing to havo all saloons in the three counties
surrounding the camp closed unless the
present liquor evil Is Immediately abated.
The soldiers have no dimculty In obtaining
drinks In saloons outside the five-mile limit,
the ottlcers say.
Judge William B. Lipplncott, of Mount
Holly, has called a meeting of tho saloon
keepers of Burlington County for Satur
day.' At this meeting he will Issue a warn
ing and means will be considered for cor
recting the present situation.
Conditions surrounding our men here,"
said one officer of high rank connected with
the policing of Camp DIx, "are most de
plorable. They are more dangerous than
a regiment of German machine guns, and
absolutely contrary to the spirit of the
President's proclamation."
The drafted men have not as yet received
their full uniforms. Consequently It Is Im
possible to distinguish between the labor
ers working on the camp and the Boldlers,
the saloonkeepers say. The officers, how
ever, are determined to break up the present
traffic The men obtain bottled goods with
out difficulty. In some cases whisky has
been brought out from Camden In suit
cases by Jitneys and exorbitant prices
charged, often running to $1.60 a, pint It
has been found that many of the men
have actually brought bottled goods Into the
barrncks.
