OREGON SH|PBU|LD|NC
CALLS FOR MORE LABOR
EMPLOYMENT FOR THOUSANDS
At HIGH WAGES IN PORT.
LAND SHlPYARDS.

The secretary of the state editorial
association of Portland. Ore, informs
us that Oregon's effort to do her part
in the building of steel and wooden
ships for the war is seriously crippled
through lack Of labor.
Latest authentic Information gath
cred points to the necessity of en-
ploying at once nearly 10000 men IN
the shipbuilding business at Portland,
and between 1000 and 5000 in the
yards outside.
With contracts already let and GER
tain to be placed in the near future.
1t is stated by the shipbuilders tina,
from 10000 to $4,000 men should be
employed by the close Of this year, or
early next year. The work is on hand
to give this employment and the de-
mand for ships Is growing greater
every day.
The development of an industry #
this magnitude SO suddenly has re-
suited in drawing practically all of
the available men within immediate
reach, and already the shipbuilders Of
the state are urging laborers from all
parts of the west to take positions in
their plants.
Ships to Win the War.
Appeals are coming from national
officials and all the leading business
men of the east for all seaboard states
to concentrate their supreme energies
upon the program of building ships
This Is declared to be the greatest
duty confronting the nation today and
on every hand it Is admitted frankly
despite the optimistic statements
made of the position of the allied
forces, that unless ships are built by
America at a pace absolutely beyond
the present program the effectiveness
of the United States in the European
war will be largely reduced. Germany
is counting implicitly upon destroying
more ships than are built to prevent
America from participating extensive
ly in the war. The submarine pro-
gram is making more rapid progress
than the shipbuilding program. Fol-
these reasons the federal government
is putting the building of ships as
the primary patriotic duty of the peo-
pie of the country, and urging every
person who can aid in the work to
take it up with as much reverence and
as much sense of duty as If they were
enlisting in the army.
Appeal to Patriotism.
Americas food, munitions, arms
and men can not reach Europe with
out an adequate supply of ships. Best
authorities declare these should be
built of steel and wood as rapidly as
the forces of the country can be mar
shalled for the work.
In the emergency every man who
has any mechanical or artisan skill
whatever is being adapted to some
part of ship construction, wherever
he desires to work. 1t has been ne
cessary to teach labor to do classes OF
work it has never undertaken before
All the facilities for such instruction
are being provided by the shipyards
the government and state and men are
having an opportunity to take ur
lines of employment never presented
before at the best wages that have
been known in the Pacific north west
and perhaps the country

NEW LONDoN'S ALMSnOUSE TANGLE
Promises to Be Strengthened Out By Appointment Thomas E. Donohue as Superintendent and w. H. Mossbroker as Assstant-Proest Against Licensing Certain Saloons -Croton Already Kicking at Municipal Ferry-Jack son the Probable New Police Captain

most disreputabfe saloons in the city There have been hearings and just why the commissioners do not reach quick decisions is just a bit surpris- ing. The refnonstrants have let some equally ban places slip by without protest and just why this was done is a bit mystifying to those on the out side, as it IS difffficult to believe that the reputable protestants are not thorough and sincere i'll their reform work. The appearance of renon- strants before the county commits sioners at this time is a reminder ot the days of long ago, when objection was filed against nearly every apph- cant for liquor license. In those days the late Rev: Edward Vim Bacon, pas tor of the First Church of Christ, took the lead in this reform work.
 Rev. Mr. Bacon carried on this work for several years and could not be charged with discrimination. He was consistent, too. There was one particular saloon keeper who persist ently violated the law, and it was claimed the place had police protec- tion. and Rev. Mfr. Bacon used to lay stress on that point. There came a time, however, when he was satis- fled that the place was not as bad as many others, so he did not file the usual protest. When asked to explain he said that he believed in prosecution but not persecution, and he was sat isfied that this person was being pros ecuted.

withdrawal of the extremely low rates to commuters who could make as many trips as they pleased at a ridiculous iy low rate. They object to the rule for every messenger to produce tick ct before being allowed on the boat whether afoot, or in an automobile. or other vehicle In fact objection is made to every move made by the ferry committee of the court of com
 mon council, and already there is de- mand for a reduction Of fares.
 There is serious objection to the new ticket plan which requires the drivers to pay for thepselves and vehicles before they enter as 1t causes the drivers just little incenrenience. They do not stop to consider that this plan is merely to check on the ticket and fare collector dn the boat. Hereto fore this important part of the ferry business has been left entirely to the honesty of the collector. Every hon est man is better satisfied if his work can be checked up If the collector objects he is not compelled to retain the position. The committee has con- sideratley retained all the employees on the ferry boat; and may add to the number. Tor it is a mighty poor mu- nicipaily owned plant that cannot af- ford places for persons who have been loyal in political work. There sure will be jobs on that ferTyboat and trusties to fill them in the course of time.

At this distance the indications ars still favorable for the appointment of William E. Jackson, former state po-
 liceHan, as captain of the police force of the city of New London to suc- ceed General Haven, and over Lieu
 tenant Thomas Jeffers, who has served the city faithfully for more than thir- ty years. Since Mir. Jacleson's retire
 engaged as detective to assist State Attorney Hull in New London coun- ty. at salary of at least S1, 900. In
 addition he has been appointed to a a salary of $500. Tn connection with
 these places he is to be appointed a
 deputy sheriff in both counties, that
 will carry more or less emoluments.
 These appointments tend to show the qualifications of Mir. Jackson and the
 combined salaries will serve as a euide to what wages he will expect should he be wanted to captain the local police.
 Aiderman John F. Murray, chairman of the police committee says the ap-
 pointment will be made in time for the captain 10 take office at the begin
 ming of the new year. He also says
 that appointment will be made by competitive examination, physical and
 mental, and police experience will not count.
 So far as known there are but two
 candidates for thes place, the two Ps. Jeffers and Jackson. Jackson is
 the younger. and will probably stand
 a better physical and perhaps peter
 mental test than the experienced po-
 lice officer, Jeffers. Although the latter has spent more than half of
 his life in police work in his native
 city these points will not be scored in his favor in the competitive test. Alderman Murray and the other a1- dernen of the committee know that MT. Jackson will pass a better paper examination than Jeffers, and perhaps that's a reason for the competitive ex- animation. On its face it looks to be the only fair way.

New London, Dec 1-Tnomas E. Donoflue, sealer of weights and meas ures, enumerator of school children, e< alderman, and perhaps the most widely known man in New London, newspaper-wise, is agaIr in the public hOodlight. It is now officially aa- nounced that he is to be appointed superintendent of the almsheuse to succeed William H. Mossbroker who resigned a few months since after a service of twenty years, and also to succeed John Hackett who was ap- charge of the farm and outside work. This will prove an excellent pair to have charge of. the city's charity insti- tuition. Mir. Donohua is 'wetl-fitted for the place, as he is of a sympa- thetic nature and competent to deal with the unfortunate inmates in a way thar will be satisfactory to them; and his extensive executive experience will enable him to guard well the interest of the city and its charges He will also have the valuable experience of Mir. MoSEbroker to aid him in the sue ftS committee is to be congratulated for thei- coTnR1endable action in se- curing such competent men as Messrs. Donolue and Mossbroker.
 It was said about election time that the defeat of Lawrence s. Cook for reelection as an alderman from the Fourth Ward, due to his action as a member of the charity committee in making matters SO unpiea sant for Mr. Mossbroker as to cause him to resign the superinfendency of the aifnshouse It was MT.
