NEW EPOCH HERE AS
ARMY OF MEN BEGIN
WORK ON SHIPWAYS
Impetus Already Felt in In
dustrial Fields = Drydock
at League Island Now
Nearer Realization.

An army of men were put TO work to-
day at the Philadelphia Navy Yard to
erect the shlpways for which Secretary of
the Navy Daniels and Director of the
Department of Wharves, Docks and Fer
ries broke ground yesterday. 1t is ex-
pected the shipways will be completed in
several months, and then the keel of the
new transport will be laid Immediately
The start of the shipways has given an
impetus to industrial fields. 1t means the
employment of carpenters, machinists,
shipwrights and host of other skilled
laborers, to say nothing of the unskilled
laborers bene1ting by the decision OF the
Navy Department to build Federal ships
at the League Island yard All were
jubilant today, and those employed on the
work struggled manfuly under glaring
sun to prove that Secretary Daniels was
not wrong when he said the best skilled
laborers of the country could be found In
this city.
Shipping men also expressed their
unanimous approval Of the project and
said that in addition to the work given
workmen of this city the navy yard
has received wonderful boom in the
transition from repair to shipbulld-
ing yard. This is regarded as an open
ing wedge in the fight for the 17O0-foot
drydock. since shipyard without
drydock is greatly handicapped. After
ship is completed on the ways and
launched it is essential that she be
placed in drydock for a complete over
hauling.
Philadelphia has numerous advantages
over any other port on the Atlantic
coast That of being the only fresh
water station Is expected to convince
Congress that the drydock should be
located here.
