all Of n sudden he chased down the

ging because of q scarcity of labor,
and the government wants 100000
more men to bring the shipyards to
the full capacity that is required to
meet the urgent demands of the al.
lied nations, Many of the shipyartls,
working one shift a day, are able to

the output that could be produced with
three shifts of eight hours each There
arc 100000 men employed for the ono
shift in the yards and the desired ad.
ditional shifts cannot be filled for

The shipping board comedies the
ground for Lord Northcliffc's Chicago
statement that tho country would not
be able by the end of 1918 to turn out
the 100000 tons required for trans.
port purposes, but. at the same time,
it was stated that if the pending labor
troubles could be settled and the scar.
city of labor cured Il tonnage output
of between 100000 and 100000

This will make $4,000 tons that

given $4,000 tons OF shipping for
