Emergency Fleet Officials Says
There Will Be No Let-Up
Here for 2 Years.
STRUCTURAL WORK
MAY BE DONELATER
Provisions Being Made to Care
For Returning War Vic
tins at Plant.

NO 1et-up in construction at the
plant Of the Pensacola Shipbuilding
company is contemplated by the gov
ernment or shipyard officials for at
least two years. This announcement
from an official of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation will be welcome
news since much Of the city's present
prosperity is due to the location Of the
yard here.
Because the construction Of steel
ships at the local yard is on a differ
ent basis than in many yards, the en-
tire program of construction called for
present plans. This means that the
employment of labor and consumption
of materials is likely to continue at
its present rate for some time to come.
May Do Structural Work.
On the other hand, officials state
that the Pensacola Shipbuilding COM
pany'S plant is a permanent feature
for Pensacola. If steel ship construc-
ton should decline after a few years,
the local plant will be prepared to do
other structural steel work which will
make the city one of the leading CEN
ters Of it's kind in the country.
Welfare Work to Continue.
Because the welfare work which is
being done at the local Sh1pyarQ is
fostered by the local plant and not
paid for by the government, such fea-
lures as the riveting school are to be
continued. In many other yards they
have been stopped by government or
ders.
The value of the riveting school
cannot be underestinated, according
to W. F. Amos, a government official
at the local yard who commends the
work which the shipyard officials are
doing. He explains that the school
cares for two gangs. of four men each,
daily, in which competent riveters are
turned out. This factor alone de-
creases the amount of materials which
might be spoiled by inexperienced
men operating such machines.
To Care for Soldiers.
Although no plans have been shap-
ed as yet to care for returning soldiers
who have been incapacitated by
wounds from returning to their old
trades, the Pensacola Shipbuilding
company is contemplating the use of
as many of these men at the local yard
as can be accommodated. 1t is said
that there are a number OF machines
in use at the yard which men with one
leg or one arm can operate. That
these positions are to be opened to the
men is certain, since officials
Of the company have already held in
formal discussions on the subject, it
is announced.

ENFORCEMENT OF
FISHING LAWS TO
BE DRASTIC NOW

A strict enforcement of the fishing
laws of the state is to begin at unce
in Escambia county, according to Or
ders received by Food Administrator
C. S. Bonacker last night from Bra1-
ton Beacham, state food administra-
tor at Orlando.
Although the closed season on salt
water fish within the three mile zone
was to have begun Nov. 20, little has
been done in the way Of enforcement
of the state law because of the need
for fish food. However, the govern
ment has taken the matter in hand
and requested the state officers to sec
that the ruling was obeyed.
This means that fishermen from this
port will not be allowed to take salt
water fish protected by state law du-
ring the closed season, which ends
December 90 This ruling applies
particularly to mullet, which fish the
government desires to protect.
