The announcement is as follows:
TO aid the shipping board in car
rylng out its great merchant ship
building program the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States has
launched a movement to enroll all
men formerly engaged in the ship
building trade SO that they may be
called to the yards when needed.
THE chambers national war ship
ping committee has announced that
local committees are being formed in
various cities to make a survey of
labor resources and to secure the con-
sent of employers to release former
shipbuilding workers when necessary
To hasten the campaign posters call
ing for volunteers will be distributed
throughout the country. Men enroll
ing will be supplied with service
badges to be worn until called, when
they will be given the badge now

MAIL ORDER HOUSE
IS CAUGHT SHORT
UNDERSELIS LOCAL DEALERS
But ALSO CUTS ON WEIGHT
FINED 1915.

How would you like to buy a drum
of coffee from a mail order house at
a slightly lower price than that
quoted by your local dealer, and then
find 1t nine pounds short? That was
the experience of one Washington
woman a few days ago, and when she
complained to the deputy inspector
of weights and measures said mail
order house was fined SIS.
Similar cases are occurring fire.
quently in this division of the secre-
tary of states Office and Captain I.
M. Howell finds that the retail dealer
is coming to look on this inspection
as directly to his interest as we'll as
to that of his customers.
Not only is unfair competition,
based on short weight, eliminated,
but official inspection results in find
ing many scales which have been CIV
ing ''long weight" rather than
short" SO that their correction has
resulted in a saving to the merchant.
While in most cases the variation has
been so slight that the gain to the
individual customer was insignificant,
the aggregate loss to the dealer from
the overweight on hundred sales each
day was very considerable.

SHIPPING BOARD IS
AGAIN PROGRAMMED
BUSINESS MEN PUT IN CHARGE
OF EMERGENCY FLEET
CONSTRUCTION.

Because the business of building
ships for the United States emer-
gency fleet has not produced vessels
speedily enough. a practical reorgan-
ization of the Emergency Fleet cor
poration was announced this week.
Big business men have been put in
charge. And from now on the work
will be conducted as any one Of
Americas great corporations would
be. The following men have been
nominated to push the work with all
haste:
Charles Piez of Chicago, president
of the Link Belt company and with
the reputation of being one of the
biggest business organizers in the
country, named as vice president of
the Emergency Fleet corporation;
James Heyworth of Chicago, con-
tractor; A. J. Mason of Chicago. en-
gineer; Charles Day of Philadelphia,
contractor; Frank Kirby of New
York. architect; John Burton Payne,
Chicago, lawyer.
Mr.. Piez was put in supreme charge
of the governments shipbuilding pro-
gram. Wooden ship construction
will be put in charge of Heyworth,
who displaces Rear Admiral F. T.
Bowles retired. The building of fab
ricated steel ships will be superin-
tended by Day, who is now in Eng
land studying methods of construc-
ton. Mason will inspect plants, SUI
pervise operations and coordinate the
work.
The reorganization as explained at
the offices of the shipping board, was
prompted by the feeling that the
fleet corporation was not speeding up
construction as much as it might
With designing about completed and
contracts let, building, they felt, was
a matter of business that best could
be done by business men.

TRADES COUNCIL.

Verbal castigation of the Pacific
Telephone company held the atten-
ton of the Trades Council for a very
large fraction of an hour at the meet
ing of November 8. To carry the war
into Africa" in the interest of the
telephone girls three three-men COM
mttees were named and these COM
mittees will rack their brains and
bring forth some plan calculated to
harass the telephone octopus. To
start with a committee waited upon
the public service commission and the
governor and petitioned that the law
be invoked against the company.
Robert Johnston, from the Ship
yard Laborers; Sam c. Taylor, from
Plumbers and Steamfitters, and c. E..
Rose and ]. A. Stocks. from the En-
gineers were seated as delegates to
the Council.
Among the communications was
one from Labor's Emergency Liberty
League of Washington, D. C. The
Emergency League attempted an
uppercut on prohibitionists generally
and a solar plexus against the Anti
Saloon League because of the mali
cious, pernicious ana otherwise perse-
cution of our old friend John Barley
corn. The communication set forth
that somebody had introduced a pro-
hibition constitutional amendment
into congress and prayed that the
Labor Council unlimber its guns and
train them upon the lawmakers from
this state with a view to putting this
MISUNDERSTANDING amendment where
it belonged--down and out. The
Council delegates listened to the
reading with lack of enthusiasm
that was painful, and before the
reader was safely in his chair some
one moved to consign the letter to the
wastepaper basket. There were no
noes.
Secretary George w. Lish rendered
his resignation and Fred Hudson was
chosen in his stead. This created
vacancy also in the boar dof trustees
and Sam Taylor was elected to that
position.
The Council directed the secretary
to write the public service commits
sion with regard to the new gas rates
and EXPRESSING the ODiniOn that the
ready-to-serve charge and the abol-
ishing of the minimum rate were
calculated to discriminate against the
citizen with the small purse. The
Commission was asked to take this
phase of the question into considera-
ton at the hearing and not confine it's
investigation wholly to the question
of gas company profits.

SPEND MILLION A MONTH
RATHER THAN GIVE MEN
$3.50, 900 A YEAR RAISE

The United Railroads of San Fran.
cisco spent million dollars a month
the past summer to break a strike OF
its motormen and conductors.
When the workers asked for wage
increases the company raised the
poverty" cry. This statement was
investigated by the state railroad
commission at the request of the
board of supervisors.
The commission reported that the
first two weeks of the strike cost the
company $410,617. and the first six
weeks $1,231,853.
The strike is still on.
The wage increases would have
amounted to three-quarters of a mil
lion dollars year.
