HOG ISLAND TO GO ON
Westinghouse Plant Develop
ing Into One of Country's
Wonderful Workstlrtps,
Philadelphia's future as-thf'lndustrlal
center of America has been ass'ed by
the war.
While the casual reader may got the
Impression that many nf the scores
of plants that have sprung Into being
In this city nnd Its vicinity during the
last eighteen months are of mushroom
growth, meant only to last until the Ger-
Ifmans are beaten, the fact Is that a
number of the largest will continue to
operate Indefinitely.
Hoe Island, forVlnstnnce, will keep on
making ships fbr many years after the
peace treaty Is signed. So will the
yards at Bristol, Chester nnd Wllmlng-.
ton. As for the munitions factories,
plans are already prepared for turning
those big organizations Into constructive
channels.
One of the biggest permanent plants In
the district will be that of the Wcstlng
house Company, at ICsslncton. There
v are made the Westinghouse system of
marine engines, which can he especially
adapted to submarines as well as used
on any kind of cargo boat or warship.
These engines arc n complete unit,
including steam box. turbines, reduction
gear case and condensers, and nre so
Ocompact that they weigh much lcs3 in
proportion to the power produced than
other similar machines.
For many years these engines were
built at the big Westinghouse plant at
East Pittsburgh, but some time ago, be
fore it seemed likely that thls.country
would bo drawn into the Huropean
maelstrom, It was decided to erect a new
plant on the Atlantic coast Just to turn
out the marlnetsystems.
Labor Mat-lift Adinntnge
Philadelphia was picked because of
the available supply of skilled labor, the
port and railroad facilities and the fact
that an adequate site could be purchased
at a reasonable price The locat'on ob
tained is between I-estcr and Essington
and has the Baltimore and Ohio Ball
road on tho west nnd the Pennsylvania
Railroad on the east, with the Delaware
only a tew yards beyond the Pennsy
tracks.
At present JOOf) workers are employed
there. When addition to the plant now
under way nre completed between 12,000
and 15,000 will be needed, and eventually
the company counts on having 30,000
employes on the payroll.
The Westinghouse Company, being on
the ground early, before the rush to buy
Essington sites had started, was' able
to purchase 500 acres stretching be
tween the Delaware and Darby Creek.
One hundred and ten acres arc now in
use.
. -H was planned to start work on the
plant In the fall of 191fi, but It proved
difficult to get machinery, raw ma
terial and labor, because of the great
demand tfom munitions plants nnd the
high wages paid by these 'war-bride"
concerns.
But when the United States entered
the war, the Westinghouse neonle went
to the Government,, explained what their
engine could do, and their claims were
promptly Indorsed by naval experts, and
won the co-operation of Uncle Sam.
Ground was broken for the first building
of the plant April 1, 1017. This was
completed August 15, just four months
and a half later. And the building has
been built to last. Even a casual glance
Will prove that to the most skeptical.
The first casting was made November
20 last year, and the first completed
engine was turned out and shipped
March 23, tills year, to one of the sub
marine boat-building firms.

TROLLEY CAR CRUSHES
TWO GIRLS; ONE DEAD
Runs Through Open Switch at
ChesterrCrew Is
Arrestea
N
An Investigation Is being made today
of the trolley accident In Chester last
night, which cost the life of Miss Lo
retta Pilson, twenty years old, and seri
ously Injured Mary Heaps, 517 South
Fifth street. Darby.
The girls were struck by a Southern
Pennsylvanl Traction car soon after they
had left the office of the Philadelphia
Suburban Gas.Coippany, Chester, when
the trolley ran through an open switch
and ran 100 feet before it could be
stopped.
Robert Pilson, a brother of the dead
girl, a passenger on a Media car, which
followed the one which struck the girls,
collapsed upon finding his sister dead
while aiding to lift the car, so the vic
tims could be removed. Until her face
was revealed as the car was raised,
Pilson did not knew his sister was one
of the girls struck.
Moibrman Morgan and Conductor
Dougherty were arrested after eye-witnesses
had informed the police that no
effort was made, apparently, to slow up
the car when it reached the crossing.
An investigation is also being made
by the police of a report that the car's
fender was Improperly adjusted. Miss
Mary Itafferty, of Media, who was with
the girls who were struck, escaped in
Jury, although knocked down.

N0 PRIORITY HELP
rn.iMi.nn.MnK
TO LABOR BIDDERS
Piez Cautions Employers
Who Draw Men From
War Industries
MORE SHIP CONTRACTS
Contracts for 90,400 Tons of
Cargo Carriers Let in Week
Ending July 20
Manufacturers who persist In using
peace-time methods of procuring labor,
resulting in the withdrawal of work
men from war industries, will get no
priority assistance from the war indus
tries board.
This fact was called to the atten
tion of the executive officers of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation and of
companies under contract with the
company today by Charles Plei, .gen
eral manager, who Indorsed the board's
decision.
At the same time, Mr. Plez announced
that during the week ending July 20
contracts had been placed by the Fleet
Corporation for an aggregate of 00,400
tons of cargo shipping, besides ten sea
going tugs.
Mr. Plez sent to all departments a
copy of a resolution adopted by the war
industries board on July 11, stating
that competitive bidding for labor Is
"strongly disapproved." nnd warning
manufacturers found guilty of It that
"the priorities, division will In proper
cases withhold priority assistance from
employers who persist in pursuing such
methods."
Such practices have become general in
western States, Mr. Plez said, and have
brought about a situation wherein west
ern shipyards were glutted with con
tracts nnd compelled to pay exorbitant
prices for labor In an unavailing effort
to fulfill their contracts on time. To
remedy this situation, he raid, future
contracts would be placed by the cor
poration In other sections of the coun
try until the ends desired have been
brought about.
"I am heartily in accord with the War
Industries Board in the attitude it has
taken with respect to manufacturers who
are constantly trying to outbid each
other, and thus are taking workmen
away from the shipyards," said Mr. Piez.
"In some western yards, ordinary me
chanics are paid such a high scale of
wages, often running to J1.25 an hour,
that they are making more than the
executives of the vards. If this situation
were allowed to continue, the country
would soon bleed Itself of cash, for the
practice is bound to spread to other'
parts of the country unless measures arc
taken to curb it."
That the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion has inaugurated a policy In placing
ship contracts which Is intended to hav
a direct bearing on the situation in
western yards, was Indicated in the an
nouncement of contracts placed last
week, all of which went to eastern
yards. These contracts follow;
To Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corpora
tion, Ltd., three steel cargo steamers
of 7400 tons each, to be built at the
Sparrows Point, Md., yards.
To Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corpora
tion, Ltd., ten sea-going tugs, to be built
jat the Elizabeth, N. J., yards.

Shipping Board Calls for Volun
teers in Coal Hauling Service
According to a statement issued at
the local headquarters of the United
States shipping board, 108 South Fourth
street, the coal crisis In New England
has led to a call for volunteers from
the training service of the board to
serve In collier crews between New
port News and Boston. The Increased
demand for seamen on the Newport
News-Boston run Is one result of the
employment In the coal trade of a con
siderable number of Dutch ships re
cently taken over by the Federal Gov
ernment. Former apprentices of the training
service already are in the coal fleet.
The sea service bureau In the Bourse
has supplied many men for that service.
Applicants signing as "ordinary seamen"
will receive $55 a month and "found."
The shipping board's recruiting service
Is considering a special distinction for
men who volunteer for the coal-carrying
trade and remain In It for at least three
months.

Income tax nnd excess profit tax
dodgers of this city and many surround
ing counties will be railed before the
Internal Revenue Department August 1,
to explain why they have failed to pay
large sums of money to the Government.
This was the Indication today as
nearly 100 Internal revenue agents
continued a systematic search for
"slackers."
Hundreds of 'persons In Philadelphia
and surrounding counties are being
"checked up" : their business transac
tions of last year aro being Investigated
and their bank accounts may be gone
Into by the Government In Its sweeping
probe of alleged laxity In tax returns.
The hearings of those against whom
evidence Is found will start when the
Investigation Is completed, which Is ex
pected to be August 1.
Tew Return On Ren! KMnte Ieal
The order starting the investigation
wns made In Washington, following re
ceipt of many complaints from this dis
trict. It is said real estate investments
nre under Investigation because the num
ber of returns has been comparatively
small.
Sums aggregating nearly Jl.nnn.ono
are nald to have been "held out" on the
Government. The money represents the
taxes on real estate transactions made
last year here.
Seventy-five agents of the Internal
Revenue Department are working on
these cases, nnd examination of the real
estate deed books In the oftlce of the
Recorder of Deeds, in City Hall, has al
ready revealed, it is said, that many
small fortunes were made In real estate
transactions last year, while no Incom.
or excess? profit tax return ever was
made to the Government.
Nearby Countl Included
A number of Inspectors have been as
signed to Investigate similar conditions
in Montgomery, Rucks, Chester, Berks,
Delaware, Schuylkill and Lehigh coun
ties. While investigation of real estate
transactions Is expected to reveal "slack
ers" In large numbers, a plan is belnc
considered whereby the Internal Rev
enue men will have access to the bank
ing accounts of any person suspected
of Income tax or excess profit tax
dodging.
Persons found guilty will be penalized
to tho extent of 50 per cent of their
Income taxes, according to Instruction.)
received from Washington by the lo

The more spectacular of the two

Not only were men ami women in rooms

to the hotel could single out a woman

The latter would inform the head-waiter
and the visitor in a few minutes would
be joined by the woman he indicated.
The raids early today were in
pursuance of the policy of "eternal
vigilance" exercised by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels tinder whom Lieutenant
Colonel Hatch directly operates. Several
weeks ago the head of the Navy Depart-
ment disclosed the close watch main-
talned on vice not only here but In other
cit

Irdle a dry zone about Philadelphia
in tifieen minutes if necessary."

Colonel Hatch's ofllce admitted today
that it has a list of local hotels "a yard

A raid may be sprung on any one of
them at any time The raids early to

number of other hotels in tne next week.

When We Come Back
From the Theatre
Jim's Job hss not quite reached the
point yet where he can afford after
theatre suppers, and the other night,
when wo struck our little house, I
Just gave him a surprise. licfore wa
went out I had made some cheeso
sandwiches, with both the bread nnd
the cheese cut thin. They would
have been good, anyway, because I
had flavored the cheeso with a few
drops of Al Sauce, and you know
what that means! It Isn't a Worces
tershire, you know I call It my
"miracle worker," But, Instead of
serving them cold, I toasted them
under the hot flame, turning them
often, so that the cheese melted end
ran down Into the bread. Jim had
four, and would have eaten mine,
too. but lie is still a polite husband,
There is something about that Al
Sauce which makes a kitchen a
place for high magic or so Jim
says. Adv.
