BIG LABOR LAY-OFF DUE AT NAVY YARD; FUNDS ARE LACKING Work on Great Warships Halted When Congress Slashes Budgets 500 HAVE ALREADY BEEN DROPPED FROM ROLLS Five hundred men have been dis charged nt the Philadelphia Nnvy Void, and it is ftnred thnt from 1000 to 1500 more will be dismissed inthe near future because of the curtailment of this year's nnvy appropriation by Congress. Work has stopped on ono of the 45.000-ton battle cruisers, the I'nlted States, In course of hiilldlng- nt the yard. Only a small gang of men, com paratively, Is at work on the com panion bnttle cruiser, the Constitution. These two great ships, (lie pride of the new navy, arc about 11 per cent com pleted. To make It possible to build these powerful craft, millions of dollars have been spent in making the Philadelphia Navy Yard one of the finest shipbuild ing yards on either the Eastern or the W estern coast. Captain Louis McCoy Xulton, com mandant of tho nnvy ynrd, returned to duty nt tho yard today after a visit yesterday to Washington, where he went to discuss with his superiors the economy program which hna been put In effect everywhere. Economy Now In Force Captain Xulton, nsked to express his views on the situation, admitted that economies hod been put Into practice. He could not estimate how many men would be laid off because of the cur tailment of the yard's allotment of funds. He confirmed the report thnt a number already are off the rolls "It appears that a further reduction of tho yard's personnel is Inevitable,' said tho commandant. "Just how many it is difficult to say, since we arc not jet informed of tho amount of the yard appropriation allocated to PhlJa dclphia. "A careful survey of the situation is now being made, with the desire to re tain as many men in their positions as possible. Every effort in this direction will be made." Bert Crowley, president of the Xavy lard Welfare Association, the workers' organization, who keeps in close touch with every variation of labor condi tions at tho yard, estimated thnt 500 employes already have been laid off. "I am afraid thnt is not tho worst either." said Mr. Crowley. "I am afraid we have not yet readied tiie end. I nm looking for further reductions of 1000 to 1500 men. Wo are not afraid of wage reductions so miidi ns of tho men's loss of their positions. Tho workers nre doing everything in their power to promote efficiency and econ omy, so thnt tho appropriation can be made go as far as possible." Strive for Efficiency ' The men have a powerful organiza tion fully in sympathy with the of ficers of the yard. The workers realize that it ls to their own interests to keep up the efficiency standard and reduce overhead expense nnd wastage ns much as possible. The economy program nt the Phila delphia yard includes n reorganization of the whole grent plant, employing many thousands of men. There nre two classes of yards, one operated ns a whole, just as private shipyards are; the other operated in divisions, each one with its own complete executive nnd clerical organization. Tho Philadel phia Xavy Yard in tho past has been n division ynrd. It is being changed ver to n single-unit ynrd. Cnptnin W. P. ltobert Is the yard industrial mnnnger. Thus far two of tho biggest divisions nt the ynrd, the hull and machinery divisions, liave been nmnlgamated. Mont of the workers thus fur dismissed have been employes of these two divisions. As formerly organized, for example, both hull and machinery divisions hud their own separate draughting rooms. Cnntluiifil on I'.irp To.
