United States Shipping Board
Launches Effort to Triple
Shipbuilding Labor.
THREEFOLD NUMBER HERE
Board is Determined to Get
Sufficient Labor to Insure
Completion of Six Million
Tonnage by End of Next Year.

Word was received. from Washing
ton last night that an organized ef
fort was launched yesterday by the
United States Shipping Board to OBJ
tain sufficient number of men, in
cluding every class of labor. TO put OIL
three working shifts "a each of the
local ship yards.
The three-shift day basis means
that 800 600 men will be needed by all
the ship yards in order to insure, so
the report says, the 100000 addi-
tional tonnage which the government
requires to be completed before the
end OF next year
Just what effect this decision will
mean to the shipbuilders located in
Brunswick can not be determined or
the instant, but its obvious to realize,
however, that nearly twice as many
men will be added 70 the several
working forces now employed here
and three times the amount originally
estimated to come with the new forces
of the Oscar Daniels plant.
Following the agreement of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation to build
twelve steel ships with a tonnage
of 9,J000 each, in addition TO the vast
amount of shipbuilGing now under
contract at this port, it means tre-
mendous percent increase to the pop
ulation of Brunswick and which the
present decision of the Shipping
Board will now more than triple.
1t is radily recalled that United
States Provost Marshal Crowder in
cluded in his recommendation to
President Wilson a classification for
all workmen engaged in shipbuilding,
and which report bears mention OF
the Shipping Boards recommends
ton under date of October 16, to eX-
empt from all military duty every
man employed in the several ship
building yards throughout the coun'
try
This action of the government may
now be considered as part OF great
plan to assist the government con-
tractors in securing a sufficient num-
Der of men to properly execute the
work now under construction, as well
that which is pending.
In another report received last
night from Washington it is stated
that the United States Shipping
Board agreed to charter to the Italian
government twenty-five American
commandered steel vessels, aggrega-
ting 100000 tonnage. in order to re-
lieve Italy's shortage for shipping hef
needed army supplies.
One million tons Of new merchant
marine for the United States must be
completed by March l. next. while
six million total is required by De
cember 81. 1918.
Whatever population Brunswick VIII
have when the several shipbuildlng
plants are in full operation here is
difficult to estimate. and more es-
neciailv now since the original esti-
mated figure will be enhanced three
fold.

CONFIRMS STORY OF
GERMAN MURDERS

BRITISH FRONT, Oct. 25.-The re-
ports that German soldiers had ex-
ecuted their officers has been con
firmed Is
The officers, with few men,
wanted to fight to the last to hold
the redoubt, but the majority of the
men wanted to surrender. They tied
the officers and shot them and then
surrendered.
This offer another link tending to
substantiate stories that the Germans
are losing control of their men.
While there is no doubt a very con
siderable deterioration in the morale
in many of the German troops, still
it must be regarded that the German
machine is yet powerful.

Clock DiaIs for Summer.

Instead of moving the hands Of the
clock forward and back at the time of
changing from standard to summer
time. and vice versa, a plan recently
proposed In England is TO have clocks
provided with an adjustable dial. The
circular disk Of the dial would be put
In place by screws in curved slots. and
the dial would be rotated through one
hour space at the time Of making the
change. leaving the hands untouched.
II Is claimed that this plan Is especial
IL desirable In the case Of striking

moved back. The position Of the dial
would also indicate whether the clock
