OAKLAND SHIP
YARDS ADOPT
ARMY TACTICS
OAKLAND, Cal.. Oct. 31. Individual
initiative to "carry on" the spirit that
enabled Americans at Chateau Thierry
to go through the* German shock
troops, is setting records at the Moore
Shipbuilding and Dock company's yard
here.
Doctors, lawyers, clerks, mechanics
and men from all walks of life have
been whipped into shape as shipbuild
ers much as the cantonments have
made soldiers of men who never had
handled arms. Thousands here, as in
other yards, who never saw salt water,
have become keen, swift workers, aid
ing in the bulding of the "bridge of
ships.”
Competition in speed, developed by
the government’s awards of honor
flags to yards, has been supplemented
by competition between the working
crews within the yards Searching
tests by government inspectors have
created another race for quality work.
Riveting gangs that once counted sue
cess by the hundreds of rivets driven,
now compete for minimum records on
rivet rejections Trained ears of gov
eminent experts listen for the peculiar
"ring" as the finished rivet is struck
and if the note is false, the loose or
defective rivet must be burned out.
if ii cannot 1 • caulked tight
This ••ftici*,nc\ of the industrial st■«
iliers. to give the country good ships
and to give them soon, is demaded at
every turn by the government's stand
anls. Minutely as the work is watched
and checked by expert vigilance, as
the -hip is built, the finished v- -• I

gram li is making a* specialty of
ret rig* • ia tor boats, of wliieh two i.
ready have been launched.
Tiles*- refrigerator boats pres* pt
problems in const ruction met in U"
other type of vessel Modern impron
ment s have resulted in a proofs
whereby the preparation -Ji«i^*
sides ami bulkheads of the vessel acts
as a non-conductor of heat ami cold
and as fireproofing as well. The equiv
alent of *'»<> full carloads can be placed
in one of these vessels before she is
loaded to capacity.
Ship camouliage gives every boat
from this plant tin* appearance of
**onn* monster futurist painting that
has b it it:, frame for a spin on the
ocean Tin* idea is carried out to
such an extent that an aviator or look
*nit gazing down at her is deceived in
her si/.* and direction. Kadi earn
ouflngc scheme is worked out to give
its own particular illusion
Weather ami climatic conditions
are drafted to aid in tin* deception.
Kach bout is camoullaged with a view
to tin- appearance sin* will make on a
bright ami a hazy day and in storms
of varying intensity Distance between
the boat and tl observer also ent.-rs
largely into the heme.
Light control is another big feature.
A host **l devices an- installed to pro
tect against tin bowing of lights at
night and while the vessel is brilliant
ly lighted on tin inside she is invisible
to tin* lurking submarine unless a
vagrant searchlight hean.1 should hap
pi-11 to pick her out The minute a
door or window is opened a "cutout
aits and all near lights are e\
tinguished.
Although tin* vessel is a cargo cur
rier pure and simple, the fittings of
the ollicers’ ami crew’s quarters are
of the finest. Tin* captain's quart* rs
are complete from sideboard to bath
tub. Other officers also arc given
homelike surroundings, while the quar
ters of tin* crew are neatly finished
off and have many comforts.
A special rail above his tub permits
the captain's taking a bath in safety
and comfort no matter how boisterous
the sea or how tin* ship is rolling.
Kails of an attractive pattern are pro
vided to keep tin* ship's plate and
dishes from falling of! the sideboard
in rough weather. The furnishings
are sturdy and homelike throughout
flic officers’ and crew's quarters, and
the whole is set off by a galley that
might he the envy of many a lirst
class hotel.
The gun crew and ship crew quar
tern ate separated, the, former being
placed where their occupants can
jump to their positions on the gun
stand on an instant's notice These
quarters are very comfortable also
Safety devices for the crew are to
be seen everywhere but the nature of
many »>f Hi cannot be dlvulg- I
Needless to say the engineers and
stokers do not have to depend on the
usual exits They have other means
of getting to the deck, and of shutting
off water as they climb. Protection
, is paramount to construction with the
wartime cargo carriers.
The spirit of plenty that character
i izes the wartime shipping boom is as
evident in this communty as else
where. The workers ride to their toil
in automobiles and strings of their
cars line the entrances to the plant.
No one not knowing the "run" of
the plant could select the president's
quarters from any other office in the
administration building from the mere
standpoint of the interior decoration.
The plant is run on the basis of
a shoulder to shoulder proposition with
only the thickness of a white collar
separating the grimed mechanic from
the "big boss."
