Of Ihe three Indictments, one chaiged

wnril to the adjutant general the names
of 5000 registrants who had been se
lected by local boards for mllltarj serv

said, In part.
"At tho time these bills were found.
I felt It was a serious question whether
the facts that had been hrought to the
attention of the i.overnmenl const I-
tUiod more than technical violations of

" have now had a fuller opportunity
lo bo Into the facts- -the evidence which
'ivna before the grand jury and also such
additional evidence as would be avall

tho conclusion that It would not be

Ihe defendants of crime. I propose.
therefore, to nolle pros, the cases. I

SHIPBUILDING COST
MUST BE CURTAILED
. i
Increased Production Per Man I
tv, , , ,. .1
IVeeded to Meet Competi-
tion, Says Official
To compete with foreign shipping.' It
will be necessary rapidly to decease the
cost of shipbuilding through greater In
dividual production.
This Is the opinion expressed by Dr.
Charles F, Taylor, head of the service
department of the, Pusey & Jones' Corn
party, i
Discussing the effect of peace on ship
workers, Doctor Taylor predicts there,
win tie a demand ror etncient men otta
that they need not' feel uneasy.
"Most If not nil the plants In the
Delaware Hlver district will continue
shipbuilding for years to come," says
the official, "This Is the greatest ship
building district In tho world and Is
likely to remain so,
"The heart of the whole problem Is
the cost of production. At present the
eost of production la prohibitive In alt
plants. I'nlcss It Is reduced very rap
idly American plants will be unable to
compete with foreign plants.
"Thefe ore two ways of reducing cost
of production. First Is to cut wages.
This would react In the reduction of
mntcrlals, the cost of living npd tho
Injury Of our wdesprend piosperlly In
view of the opportunities for commerce
opening before. America this step would j
bo sulcld.il.
"The second way to deetease the cost
of production Is rapidly In Increase Ihe )
amount of pioductlon per man. Tho i
larcHenl amount of production per
worker Is lower than It has ever been
In this country. This Is dun to the
dilution of labor by the Introduction of
large numbers of unskilled In skilled
trades.
"Rngland has overcome this handicap
because she has been nt War four years,
W'e are Just beginning to "time-up' our i
industrial forces.
The .vear ahead of iV will see a won- .
derful improvement In Industrial efft- j
