mobilize American labor in shipyards all
over the country in such numbers as
necessary to carry forward President
Wilson's projected scheme to turn out at
least 5000 wooden and steel ships to run
the German submarine blockade.
Surveys OF the quota OF laborers in all
yards led to vigorous steps to increase
the complement OF skilled men in plants
both small and large. so that no hitch
will occur when the flood OF contracts
already drafted. are turned loose to ship
builders. Awarding OF these contracts
awaits only the passage of the $50 900 .oOo
fund by Congress-, which is expected
within a few days.

AT SENATE HEARING.

Framed Plans for Eiahing Strike.

Vice President Ham. Of the Washing

subjected to a grilling cross-examination
by Senators Pittman and Johnson at the
sCT!ke hearing last night
Senator Pittman demanded the produc-
tlon OF the scale OF wages paid by the
company and the increase that would
have been given II the Amalgamated As
sociation's scale had been accepted.
Senator Johnson brought out the fact
that members Of the executive board and
board Of directors were unacquainted
with the decision OF President King to
provide for a possible strike on the COM
pany's lines. The witness was at a loss
TO explain all of Senator Johnson's lii
CT the decision OF the company's officials

Early in the day Senator Pittman ques-
toned the frankness OF the company's 8
letter to its employees on February n.
which indicated a willingness to discuss
a new contract, when the company had
already determined, it was said, not to
renew the contract with the men but 20
deal with them individually. The pur-
pose OF such action the Senator charged,
was to mislead the men in order that the
company could handle the inauguration
crowds. The witness denied that such
was the intention Of the company and
that II did not at any time propose to
