CHESTER AFTER THE
FORE RIVER PLANT
Chamber of Commerce Urges
Removal From Quincy,
Massachusetts
RIVER SITE SAID
TO BE READY

CHESTER, Pa, Nov 7.-Should the
efforts OF the Chester Chamber of Com
merce. through its secretary, T.
Woodward Trainer, working in con-
junction with the Philadelphia Cham
Der Of Commerce prove successful,
another shipbuildlng industry. one of
the largest in the East. will be
established on the Delaware river.
either in, to the north or south of
this city. The concern is the Fore
River Shipbuilding Company. which
recently announced, that unless the
taxes on the company's property at
Quincy, Massachusetts, recently in
creased by that town, are lowered the
plant will be moved from that place.
Although no definite action has
been taken by the Fore River Com
Dany since Il served notice on the
authorities OF Quincy, Secretary
Trainer OF the local Chamber OF Com
merce, realizing the opportunity Of
fered to bring the shipyards to this
section, Immediately got busy and be-
gan working in conjunction with the
Philadelphia Chamber OF Commerce
toward the end Of having the Fore
River Company consider river front
sites in this locality. Due to the fact
there are no available sites for such
a mammoth plant in Philadelphia the
chances are bright, should the ship
building company carry out its threat
to remove its plant from Quincy. to
bring II to this section of the State.
There are good sites available IN this
city, south of Marcus Hook and north
OF Eddystone.
When questioned last evening con-
corning the report that there were
efforts being made to have the Fore
River Company establish its plant
along the Delaware River. Secretary
Trainer of the Chester Chamber OF
Commerce confirmed the statement
that the Chamber OF Commerce was
working with the Philadelphia Cham
Der OF Commerce with this end in
view.
The vigor OF the campaign being
conducted was explained yesterday by
F. w. Alexander, secretary OF the In
dustrial Bureau, who said:
Months ago we canvassed the en-
tire sh'pbuIlding industry OF the
United States. asking them to come To
this section OF the country. We are
directing special efforts toward the
Fore River Company
There Is no reason why that com
pany should not be on the Delaware
River. There is every facility for la
Dor and for material that goes into
shin construction work and there il
no question about sites.
Efforts have been made to interest
the Fore River Company to come 10
this section for some time. and we are
preparing to press our argument with
renewed vlgor since this disagreement
has risen az Quincy.
I'VE are endeavoring to enlist the
interest Of Charles NJ. Schwab who
represents the controlling interest of
the company. I'm our proposition Con-
ditions that would especially interest
the Fore River Company prevail in
this section"
The Fore River Shipbuilding Com
pany is a 100000 plant covering
seventy-fohr acres OF ground al
Quincy, and employs some 600 per-
sons. II may be compared I'm size as
nearly as large as the Cramp Ship

= One IS SUPPOSED TO
HAVE BEEN U-53
SATURDAY, ANOTHER
WAS DECLARED U-6l

Boston, Oct. German sub
marine warfare brought to this
side Of the Atlantic Sunday was
pursued relentlessly throughout
the night. With the dawn came
reports Of more evssels torpe-
doed and sunk. The captain Of
the Nantucket hghtship, off
which the attacks on passenger
and freight ships were made,re-
ported that three German sub
marnes were operating south
and southeastof Nantucket and
that total Of nine vessels had
been destroyed.
The identity Of three OF three
Of this number was unknown
but ships from the American
destroyer fotilla at Newport
were searching the seas for the
crews that were SUPPOSED to
have taken ito their small boats.
Early today the submarine or
Submarines had not been ldentl-
fed but there is no doubt in the
minds of naval officers that one
of the engines of destruction
was the German U-53 which de-
livered mail for the German
submarines gathered for at
tacks on vessels of the Allied
nationsand neutral bottoms
carrying contraband Of war.
Their operations so far as
known have been south and
southeast OF Nantucket island
and from three to ten miles off
shore.
The American steamer Kan
sas which was held up by a.
submarine off Nantucket at
4:3O o'clock yesterday morning
arrived here today. Its cap
tain said he had turned back in
response to the signals Of dis
tress from the West Point, but

ED AS SUPERINTENDENT

G. Ross Kidder has resigned
his position az Superintendent
with the West Virginia Central
Gas Company Of this place, the
resignation taking effect No
vember 18th. He is to be sue
eeeded by 7. 4. Williamson, who
for several years hasbeeDl the
popular and efficient assistant.
Mr.. kidder will remove his
family to Minnie, Wetzel coun-
ty, where he will enter the mer-
camille business, in which bust
ness he was connected for five
years prior to entering the Gas
Company's service. He has
been with the company for ten
years, three years at Elkins and
seven years in Belington.
Minnie is hustling little oil
town on the B. and O. seven
miles from New Martinsville and
was the former home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Kidder. Their many
friends here will be sorry to see
them leave Belington, as they
have both taken an interest in
its welfare.
Mr.. Kidder is an enterprising
young man as hisrecord with the
Gas Co. will show. He has been
secretary Of the Belington Chau-
tauqua Off the past two years,
was one Of it's promoters, and a
continual booster, as well as
a staunch supporter Of the

In the resignation of Mr.. Kid
der the gas company loses a
servant who has proven cour-
teous and satisfactory to the
public.
r. e. Williamson, who sue
ceeds Mr.. Kidder will assume
The local management, retaining
a part of his present duties. He
will have a bookkeeper to as
sist n the office. AS yet the
0ookkeeper has not been chosen
but will likely be an experien-
oed accountant who has han
lied gas office work.
Mr.. Williamson is deserving
IF his promotion. tom has
always given the public fair
treatment and without doubt
ne will continue these courtesies.
