That profiteers In building materials
have attempted to foist Inferior products
upon the Sun Shipbuilding Company, of
Chester, was revealed today when
Colonel J. H. Brown, vice president of
the North Chester Kealty Company, as
serted that many shipments of materials
designed for the homes of ship workers
have been rejected.
"We nro building homes for thn Sun
Shipbuilding Company workers," said
Colonel nrown, "and are Insisting that
nothing but the best of materials be
placed In them That much Is due to
the workers, and crookedness on the part
of profiteers will not be tolerated tor a
minute. We have rejected many ship
ments of materials because they failed
to measure up to standards."
Building hopset for the army of work
ers employed at this big yard Is one of
the outstanding features of tho com
pany's nctlvltles. J. N. Tew, Jr., presi
dent of the company, believes that thp
only efficient worker Is the happy
worker, and to make a man really
happy Mr. Pew believes It Is necessary
to give him a modern homo.
A recent order from tho Emergency
Fleet Corporation directing the Sun
Shipbuilding Company to double Us out
iput has put officials of the yard 'on their
toes In an effort to augment tho force of
workers.
C, J. Drennen, jnanager of the em
nlovment denartment. Is making en
deavors to recruit workers and will
launch a big drive for skilled mechanics
and laborers In n few days.
A new commissary Is being erected In
the main yard of tho company. I.uncn
counters are also being built and ad
ditional houses are under construction
for use of men who bring their lunches.
The big now cafeteria will accommodate
more than 8000 men. There are two
shifts and plenty of room Is provided
for each Individual. The food served Is
purchased direct from the farms near
Chester. During the luncn Hours enter
tainments are held, such as musicals by
the company band and vocal artlsU
Both oluntcer their services. Boxing
shows are staged twice a week. Swim
ming In the Delaware ltlver Is another
noon-hour popular sport. Protection Is
given the swimmers, and as n result no
deaths have occurred from drowning.
llO COAL BARGES ORDERED
Emergency Fleet Will Replace
Those Taken for War
Contracts for additional wood barges to
be used In the coastwise coal-carrying
trade will soon bo awarded by the Emer
gency Fleet Corporation. It was an
nounced this afternoon.
These barges will be of 2500 tons, the
same as the 110 for which contracts have
already been awarded. The original es
timate called for 100 barges, but It was
decided to Increase the number to make
up the deficit in coastwise carrying ves
sels. Tho shortage of this type Is duo
to the great number of ships formerly In
the coastwise trade that have been sent
overseas for use as lighters. It Is ex
pected forty more barges will bo con
structed, making a total of lfiO.
Although tho railroads carried approx
imately B0 per cent more coal to New
I'.nglanu in l'Jiv tnan any lormer jwi,
the shortage in that section was particu
larly serious. It was due to lack of
water facilities.
Prior to the war virtually all the New
England, coal supply was hauled by
water. Having taken a great part of
the old water facilities, the Emergency
Fleet corporation plans to replace them.
GERMAN GUN TOTER PUNISHED
Two Years for Enemy Alien,
Whom Judge Denounces
After a severe fccorlng from Judge
Rogers, a sentence of two years in the
county prison was Imposed today on
Wllhelm Schneider, 26D West 'Weiisley
street, a registered enemy alien, con
victed of assault, wantonly pointing a
pistol and carrjlng a concealed deadly
weapon.
"American citizens nro not permitted
to carry deadly weapons," the Judge
said, "and surely no court can deal le
niently with a dangerous enemy alien
who dares to arm himself with a loaded
revolver."
Schneider's admission that ho had
been hero twenty years nnd had never
been naturalized elicited a second de
nunciation. ,
"He has enjoyed the liberties and pro
tectlon of America for twenty years,"
said the Judge, "yet he did not Wink
enough of the land of his cholco to be
come a citizen."
Schneider had had an argument with
Hugo Jacobl, 5633 North American
street, over a woman. He tired the re
volver at Jacobl, but missed.

From the timekeeper's oftlco at the

Somewhere around Boston, Mass , are
two thieves whom Perry met, much to
his sorrow, a few days ago In that city.
They have, or did have. J171 of Perry's'
vacation money, which they got ny
boldly strnngarmlng tho slilpworker on
the street and going through his pockets.
With tho help of two confederates they
escaped and their victim had to cut his
vacation short. Perry is sure ho would
know any one of the four and says If
they ever como near Chester ho will get
them. , , ,.
Some time ago Perry started In the
time oftice and made a good record, ir
there la anybody In tho shipyard who
can remember a face longer or better
than Perry he Is yet to bo found. This
gift made Perry especially valuable In

"Th (iermuns are now starting their

In a letter tinted July :i7 he tells of

"Just a few lines to let you know how
