Washington and appearing in out-of-
town papers today. credits Captain G.
A. McAllister. chief engineer of the
coast guard. with the statement that
"shipbuilding yards. large and small,
on the Atlantic coast. are enjoying an
unprecedented boom"
Inquiries made in local shipbuildmg
circles ELECTED the information that
the reverse is true in this city. The
head of one shipbuilding concern said
that only ten per cent Of the normal
amount of shipbuilding is being done
here at present and only ten per cent.
Of the normal number OF men are em-
ployed in shipbuilding at this time.
At the Harlan and Hollingsworth
yards there are three contracts OF
hand. one for a 45O-foot ship. one for a
15O-foot boat and one for a 1GO-foot
boat, which does not compare favor
ably with the business of the same
period last year
When inquiry was made at the
American Car and Foundry Company
plant it was stated that the person
in position to speak ON the subject
was out Of the city. The company has
contracts for a number OF barges how
