WORK OF BOWLES WINS WARM PRAISE BY PIEZ c- . near Admlrafcv-.ancls T.' Bowies Is "doing Just what he was sent here to do," according to a statement made by General Manager Charles A. Pier, of the Kmergency Fleet Corporation, after an Inspection of conditions at Hog Island, and as .1 result of the great Imnrovement that nas neen urougne i nbout wthn the last month the Sen nt Committee on Commerce, which Is Investigating the affairs of the Amer ican International Shipbuilding Corpora, tlon, will be Invited to come In person to Philadelphia and see the work that Is being accomplished It Is considered ceitaln that the committee will accept this Invitation and will come to Phila delphia within the next few da) a. Mr. I'lez returned to Washington today. Another Important Btattment made byi Mr Plcz was that up to the present time be had not been able to detect evidences of graft In the manage ' .. . . , it... l.lut...l1 Jl. metit of tho Plant by the shipbuilding corporation. In the light of tho report made by him to the nmergency Fleet Corporation, which was responsible for starting the Investigation now under way. this assertion Is regarded as es pecially significant. Mr. Plez stated that his visit to Phil adelphia at this time was entirely In dependent of tho Investigations being made by the Department of Justice and the Senate Commerce Committee Those two agencies of tho Government, ha" said, nre probing Into the past to see what has been done which should not have been done. He and Admiral Howies, on the other hand, are looking to the future to see what can and should bo done from now on. il..ln 4Vi npfiirrAia Itint linn fimn stated that auditors had gone over the accounts of the plant and all unneces sary expenditures had been eliminated. i:mplo)es who were more ornamental than useful had been given work to do or else had been separated from the pay roll. Things are done now In the order of their Importance nnd with a definite system In view, he said, and, us a re sult, twelve miles of railroad track have been eliminated while, at the same time, steel and 6ther vitally needed com modities are coming Into the plant as they never did In times past. The substitution of one-man authority and supervision for tho system of dl vi.io.l resnonslblllty that formerly pre vailed at the plant was given credit by Mr. Plez for the Improved conditions at Hog Island, The various branches, of the work have been co-ordinated and efficiency and economy have been bi ought In. Complaints of the food served to ths workmen at the yards werp set at rest by Admiral Bowles and Mr. Pier after a personal trial of the menu. Dropping Into the meas hall unannouned, they or dered a thirty-cent dinner. Both wera hungry. According to Admiral Bowles, they received more than they could eat of wholesome, nutritious food. An In spection of the kitchen, he eald, showed that cleanliness and efficient manage ment prevailed und that no Just com-, plaint could be mads ot the food served to the men. rpWF.
