8=HOur Law Increases
Cost of Battleships.

Washington, Dec. 9.-While the eff
feet of the S-hour law on naval con-
Struction has not yet been determined,
the annual report of r. NJ. Watts,
chief constructor of the United States
navy, shows that the application of
the new law has increased the cost of
battleship construction by $3S a ton.
The three battleships Texas, Nevada
and Oklahoma, now under contract,
are building under the S-hour law The
average price per ton of normal dis
placement of these three vessels is
S215, according to Constructor Watt.
while the average price of the pre-
eeding three battleships built by con-
tract was SIT per ton. The United
States, last year. again led the world
in rapidity of construction.
Notwithstanding the recent mark
ed increase in sizes of vessels" says
the constructor, the time required
for construction remains practically
unchanged and the rapidity of con-
struction in the United States, both
for battleships and destroyers recent
~ completed without restriction as to
hours of labor continued greater than
the average rate of construction in the
principal foreign shipbuilding coun-
tries"
The chief constructor complains
that the clerical work in the bureau
is greatly hampered by the large num-
Der of designations and transfers con-
stantly occurring because of the lack
of any reasonable prospect of adj
vancement.
THE bureaus losses in it's clerical
force through designations and trans
fers, during the past four years says
the report, were more than As per
cent. of the force employed"
Administrative work conducted un-
der such conditions of frequent. change
is necessarily less efficient and less
economical than when greater per-
manence of employment is assured.

JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS.
Senate Judiciary Committee Consid
ers Presidents Appointments.

Washington, Dec. 9.-President Taft's
judicial appointments now before Con-
gress We're considered, today, by the
Senate judiciary committee. No formal
action was taken but Republican mem
bers of the committee received definite
information that the Democrats of the
Senate probably would try to hold up
many appointments of judges and United
States attorneys in Southern states, SO
that the appointments would fall to Pres
ident Wilson after March 4.
The lines of the Democratic fight
against appointments became clearer, to-
day. 1t is understood the Democrats
intend to permit the confirmation et
many appointments in Northern states
where Republican strength controls, but
TO prevent affirmative action on judicial
appointments.
