(By Associated Press)
PHILADELPHIA, March 2.—More
than one-third of the war vessels and
merchant ships called for by the pro
gram of the United States government
are building in ship yards along the
Delaware river, according to figures
which have just been made public with
the permission of the emergency fleet I
corporation. The tonnage contracted'
for, according to government officials,
has transformed the Delaware valley
into the greatest shipbuilding center
in the world.
W. B. Ferguson, a representative of
the emergency fleet corporation, es
timates that an army of about 85,000
shipworkers will be required to com
plete the 272 ships, including w»ar ves
sels, contracted for by the eleven
shipbuilding plants between Trenton
and Delaware City.
Work on 120 cargo-carriers at the
new government yard at Hog island
is progressing and this plant is en
gaging to turn out 6,000,000 additional
tons in 1918. More than 2,250,000 tons
will be the Delaware river’s first
quota in the fleet which Uncle Sam
relies on to help win the war.
At the new shipyard at Bristol, Pa.,
forty ships are contracted for. Here
wore than 5,000 men are at work and
It is expected that 10,000 more will be
necessary to complete the vessels on
schedule.
Ten vessels are being constructed at
another new yard at Cornwells, Pa.
The rnrie there of 500 men will be in
creased to 2,000. At a well-known Phil
adelphia shipbuilding plant more than
eO ships are to be turned out. Most
of these are government craft on
which more than 5,000 men are en
gaged. \nother thousand is needed.
In the big yard at Camden, N. .1.,
across the river from Philadelphia, 7,
200 men are building twenty-four ships.
More workers are needed here also.
Two yards at Gloucester, N. J., are
turning out sixteen ships with a force
of about 3,000 men. Twice this num
ber of shipworkers is needed.
. Two large plants, one a new one, at
Chester, Pa., have contracted for
eighteen and twenty-six ships respec
tively. One plant has only 1,700 men
on the payroll and requires at least
3.000 more, according to the govern
ment figures. The other yard is em
ploying 2.900 men whereas, at least
■
5.000 are necessary to complete its
contracts.
The plant at Hog island is now em
ploying about 10.000 workers and offi
cials there estimate that at least 32.
000 are needed.
Worik in one plant at Wilmington,
Del., is progressing on thirteen ships
on which 2,800 men are employed.
This company is in the market for
another 1,000 workers. At another
plant in that city eight ships are being
built by a force of 1,000 men and of
ficials require 1,600 more.
A drive under the auspices of the
government, is now being conducted
throughout the country to register all
men in the eighty-seven trades allied
| with shipbuilding.. Many of these me
chanics are now engaged in other oc
1 cupatiohs and it is planned to ttans
' fer them to the seaboards without dis
turbing industry.
Labor difficulties and shortage of
steel ahd other materials, it is ex
pected, will treble the original estim
ate of the cost of the ships contracted
for. Kecent investigation of the Dela
ware river plants indicated that most
of the vessels being built will lie com
pleted in schedule time.

CALIFORNIA PROVIDES
PROTECTION TO COTTON
(By Associated Press)
SAN BERNADINO, Cal., March 2.—
Methods of protecting the cotton in
dustry of California from insect pests
which might be introduced through
smuggling cottonseed into the state
in violation of the quarantine laws, in
spection of nursery stock and handling
of nursery stock shipments by motor
trucks were under discussion here to
day at a conference of horticultural
commissioners of the counties south
of Tehachapi.
The almost universal use of the mo
tor truck in handling nursery ship
ments in the southern part of the state
had made it difficult for inspectors to'
locate every shipment in order to make I
an examination for injurious insects
and plant diseases, according to
Jeorge 11. Hecke, state commissioner
jf horticulture. Methods of control
ing such shipments were under con
sideration.
