EVEN TONS OF SHIPS
WILL SOON BE BUILT
More Will Be Accomplished During
Next Four Months Than
Last Twelve.

Washington, Oct. 31.-American
shipyards will complete 100000 tons
of ships by March /, Chairman Hur-
ley of the shipping board told con-
ference today of Atlantic coast build
ers and government officials, called to
discuss speeding up the shipbuilding
program.
In the whole of 1916" said MI.
Hurley, 1--WE turned out a little over
100000 tons. We will achieve in the
next four months far more than we
achieved in twelve months. The new
goal of our expectations is ten tim es
the production of 1916. But we cam
not achieve this by ordinary methods.
by normal energy, or by average in
itiative. This is an extraordinary per-
iod in the country's history. We are
confronted with an abnormal task
and must apply abnormal methods
Every ounce of our energy and initia-
tive must be directed toward the
achievement OF the greatest task ever
imposed upon a nation IN war"
The chief subjects taken up at the
meeting were increasing the labor
supply and better corporation be-
tween the government and shipbuild-
ers.
Atlantic coast steel shipbuilders de-
clared the production Of naval ana
merchant tonnage would be impeded
seriously, unless 100000 workmen can
be drawn from other Industries.

There will be a special meeting of
the Foresters' club this evening at
their rooms on Pierce street. The ad-

Owing to the fact that the ranks
of the Foresters are slim at present
because a large numb Der of their men,
bers have enlisted in the service, ac-
tivities of the organization may be
discontinued temporarily The re-
naming members seem to be of the
opinion that they are unable to bear
the brunt Of the burden by paying the
expenses which will incur during the
winter.

10 Sale Of Big Property.

Columbia, Feb. 19-The house by
an overwhelming vote this afternoon
passed the Crews concurrent rcsou-
ton instructing the attorney general
to investigate the Parker Cotton Mills
company and to institute criminal pro-
cccdings against the directors if it is
found that they have been violating
the laws Of the state. The resolution
alleges that the directors authorized
specializing III cotton on Wall Street.
and that the assets OF the company
have been depressed by excessive
salaries TO officers Of tho corporation.
Representative John w. Grows, OF
Columbia, in urging the passage OF
the resolution, denounced the man
ner in which the company has sold
the Hampton group" Of mills located
III this city and also charged that NJ. G.
Branch. the President Of the COM
pany, was a director Of the Hanover
National Bank in New York city, one
Of the largest creditors of the Park
or company and said that end ought
TO be looked into. He said that the
stockholders OF the Hampton group
had been given misleading inGorma-
ton about the Hampton group Of
mills.

isfy me that there is something dead
UP the creek" said the Richiand
member, in charging that the dirac-
tors Of the Parker company had
"gamOlcd" in cotton futures, which
he asserted was against the criminal
law Of this State and read the sec
ton OF the Code bearing on this
matter. "All who wish TO uncarth
shady dealings will vote for this res
clution," said Mr.. Crows.
Mr.. llamblin, Of Union, declared
this was a matter for the courts and
that the attorney general did not
have time to be going into private af-
fairs of corporations. ''If there have
been any violations Of the criminal
laws, then let indictments he brought
by grand iurics.' declared the Union
member who moved to strike out the

refused to kill the resolution and, af-
ter adopting an amendment from

alton for the investigation, il being
