SHIPBUILDMG IN
SAN FRANCISCO
YARDS RESUM ED
Plants in Operation After
Shutdown of Two Weeks
Because of Strike-Agree-
ment Accepted.

San Francisco. Sept 2s.--One hun
dred and twenty shipbuilding and 9TH
er plants on San Francisco bay, closed
for nearly two weeks by the strike of
$4,000 members of the Iron Trades
council, reopened today, but they re-
opened almost entirely without boiler
makers.
AT the Union Iron Works 1t was stat
ed that a few boilermakers had ap-
peared for work. This was doubted by
Secretary EnWright OF the boilermak-
ers' union, who announced that any
member of that union who worked will
be expelled.
Thousands of members Of other
unions filed into the shipbuildng plant
promptly at o'clock, the opening hour.
No disorder was reported from any
quarter
The whole situation with respect to
detection of the boilermakers will be
threshed out at meeting of that
union this afternoon. Ii the union does
not vote to resume work Monday it
is believed an internal clash between
the boilermakers and the union trades
council will result.
MAY USE sTRIkEsREAKERs.
There were reports that should the
boilermakers persist in their refusal to
end the strike an attempt might be
made to import strikebreakers, but it
is not believed such action will be
taken as It would almost inevitably
result in another general strike. The
presence of boilermakers is absolutely
necessary to the completion of ships
now under construction.

per cent of the 1000 5oilermakers on

call and return TO work today from

United States May Stop
Sending Troops to Europe
Until Tonnage Can Be
Moved Across.
Submarine Menace Not I'm
derestimated by America,
but No Fear Is Felt as to
Ultimate Outcome of the
War.

Washington, Sept. zs-American
troop transportation to Europe during
the next six months may be greatly
surtailed.
AS result Of the German U-boat
. menace, discussed with surprising
frankness by the British ministry of
. marine, the foremost question now be-
fore this country and the allies Is dis
4 position of American tonnage.
The United Press is able to state on
highest authority that the grave ques-
ton has arisen whether the United
States is perhaps crowding her side of
the struggle in forcing over thousands
Of soldiers at this time instead of NOV
ing supplies. The argument is ad-
vanced in favor of reducing troop
movements to the other side along
these lines:
CANNOT MOVE SUPPLIES.
France alone has a million tons
of supplies tied UP on this side of
the Atlantic which cannot be
moved while American troops are
being transported.
France, Great Britain and Italy
need fuel, food, oil, etc, sorely,
shipment of which is prevented
through lack Of tonnage
Germany's man power is waning
and a careful compilation complet-
ed by the allied governments indi-
Gates that the allied man power,
properly supplied. can win the war
more quickly than If the present
man power Is augmented by thou
sands of American troops, at the
sacrifice of facing insuffic icient sup
plies through lack of tonnage
NOT UNDERESTIMATE.
The U-boat menace Is not underes-
timated by the United States govern
ment. There is not the slightest fear
that Germany can win through her sea
scavengers. but there is appreciated the
need for very serious consideration of
the mos reflective way to meet the
situation created.
The British shipping ministry yes
terday called upon this country for six
million tons annually. This figure can
not be released before late in 1918 or
early in 1919, it IS officially admitted |
The program for %&e next Is months. |
falls short of the British demands.
And more than a billion dollars is
involved in the work now under way. |
After this period has passed, however,
It Is stated the United States should !
be able to produce six million tons an
uually.
QUESTION VITAL ONE.
Means of conserving shipping and /
utilizing the tonnage available until i
this great building program nets ships |
Is the vital question under interna- |
tional discussion here today.
I For every American soldier trans
ported. his weight in supplies must
be sent over every 30 days. Ammuni- |
tion, food, everything needed by the
Sammy must go from this side for
there is not more than sufficient to
supply the Tommy and the Poilu now
over there. Thus it Is argued, there
1s strong reason for training and
equipping great army on this side
of the Atlantic but holding up Its
marching orders until vast amounts Of
supplies, now vital to the allied fight
