EMBARGOHERE
RAIL WARNING
Stopping Less Than Carload
Consignments May Be .
Penalty for Delay.

Drastic action will be taken by the
Railroad Administration to relieve the
congestion of small shipments OF
freight At the local freight and termi-
nal ofiices. Consignments of less than
carload lots have been allowed = to
remain in Washington freight ofices.
despite the warning issued by the
Railroad Administration some time
ago.
Ina statement issued last night by
the administration 1t was announced
that these small deliveries had been
continuing to accumulate at an FIN
creasingly alarming rate, and that
there was every probability that there
would be rule adopted whereby
personal embargoes would be placed
against those falling to remove their
goods promptly.
n Hours Only Free Storage.
According to the rule the period
In which the goods are allowed to
remain free of storage charge at the
freight Offices will be cut to twenty
four hours. After that period the
consignee leaving goods at the termi-
nal and freight Offices will required to
pay the usual storage rates. >
The new rule will require that all
carriers refuse to accept less than
carload shipments to Washington con-
signed to Shippers orders notify, or
orders notify" Prepayment will 4be
required on all such shipments to
local consignees.
The Merchants and Manuta cturers'
Association. realizing that an embargo
would Interfere seriously with bust
ness. have appealed to the consigpees
generally to remove their shipments
from the railroad terminals at once.
They declare that IL the embargo
were passed the public would suffer
in the matter OF food and other needs
in the fall.
Hope to Avoid Embargo.
The association hopes that the con-
signees themselves will be able to
solve the question by acting promptly
upon the suggestion offered The ad-
ministration will act only II the neces-
sity arises through the failure of the
consignees themselves. -
In case the ruling is passed the con-
signees will be required to accept de-
liyeries every day between the hours
of a. m. and p. m, except ou SUM-
days. Transfer companies will dis
continue delivery at the consignees'
warehouses or Easements so as TO re
lease more promptly trucks and
teams.

3 HUNDRED THOUSAND
AMERICANS BUILD SHIPS
Less Than a Year Ago the Num-
Der Was $4,000 or Less.

Washington, June lo.-Less thar
a year ago there were not 45,0Ot
men employed in American ship
yards. Today there are more thar
100000 skilled mechanics and labor
ers engaged in building ships, and
an additional 250,0O0 employed il
making the engines, boilers, winches
and other machinery necessary to
equip them.
This tremendous expansion by
which the United States hopes tO
put into service new merchant
marine that will rival the trading
fleet OF any nation in the world has
been accomplished in methodical
fashion, without any fuss and feath-
ers' but achieving result that in
dustry long will regard as one OF
the most brilliant victories of the
war. 1t has been brought about by
the shipping board through recog-
milton of the principle that untrain-
ed men can become skilled work
men only through competent in
struction. One of the first tasks of
the shipping board, therefore, was
the creation OF 4 division of educa-
ton and training, which has su-
pervised the establishment of train
ing centers and the development Of
instructors among the foremen and
superintendents.
Training of the various kinds of
shipbuilders in the yards is accom-
plished by putting the men to work
on production jobs, under the super
vision of yard instructor. This
yard instructor has full charge of
gangs while they are learning. The
efficiency of a green gang under
training will average about 80 per
cent OF finished workment.
Institutional Management.
Yard instructors are skilled me-
chanics trained in the teaching
method This training is given in
a training center, where the me
chanic is given an idea of instruc
tional management, and how to get
the instructions across effectively.
The first training center W as es-
tablished at Newport News. To it
were sent skilled mechanics, select
ed from the yards. They were Civ

SPECIALIZE CLERKS
URGENTLY NEEDED

Washington une l5.-Expert
clerical work has a more important
place in the governments war or
ganization than most people realize.
We all know that the war can not
be won in the trenches alone; that
an effective establishment at home
is vital to the success OF the biggest
job ever undertaken by any nation !;
but the full extent to which the spe-
cialized clerk is needed is perhaps
not generally understood. And it
is in this class of work that women
have the best opportunity to be of
real service 10 the government at
this time.
In the national capital alone the
civilian force increased from 10000
to nearly $4,000 during the first
year OF our participation in the war.
Nine-tenths of the new employees
are clerks of one kind or another,
and fully three-fourths of them are
women. Eighteen thousand stenog-
raphers and typists are at work con-
stantly in the government offices at
Washington on the tons OF CORE
Spondence and records made neces-
sary by war preparations on scale
such as the world has never before
known.
General clerks, that is, those
without specially, are not diff
cult to obtain even under present
conditions, but the United States
civil service commission, charged
with the duty of recruiting the civil
service to meet war needs, is expe
riencying difficulty in obtaining 4
sufficient number of applications
for many clerical positions which
require special training or expert
ence. There is an urgent call for
applicants for the positions of stem
ographer, typewriter, bookkeeper-
typewriter clerk bookkeeper, cost
accountant, accounting and statis-
tical clerk. statistician, clerk quail
fled in accounting, clerk qualified
in business administration, index
and catalogue clerk, schedule clerk,
passenger rate clerk, blue print file
clerk, and assistant to business man
ager. All OF these positions are
open to both men and women. Rep

ell six weeks course of training,
eight hours day. During the last
part of this course they were oblig-
ed to spend forty hours in the ac-
tual handling of gangs OF green
men. Yard instructors are drawn
from a variety of trades, such as riv
eters, ship filters, ship carpenters,
caulkers, etc.
Twenty-Five plants have sent men
for training as yard instructors, 2l6
OF these men have completed their
tarining and "A are now in train
ing.
In addition to the training center
established i'll Newport News, there
are now several others established;
at Hog Island, at Chester, Pa, at
the Submarine Yard at Newark, n.
j., and two special centers for the
training OF electric welders at Sche-
nectady, n. Y, and at New York
City.
SO far, Is yards have put in train
ing departments. One yard instruc-
tor can train about so men each
year. The period of training for a
green man varies from two to eight
weeks One yard has already train
ed enough yard instructors in the
training centers to turn out weekly
800 skilled mechanics within the
yard.
Trade Conversion Course.
In addition to the training OF
green men, there exists the problem
OF taking men who are already skill
ed in allied trades, but have never
worked in shipyards, and making
them into shipbuilders. This is call
ed trade conversion course and
consists essentially of determining
what supplementary work a skilled
mechanic from the allied trades
must have in order to give him the
necessary knowledge to do ship
building work. Special instructors
are employed in a number of plants
to meet this situation.
By training foremen and mana
gers. the shipping board has been
able to develop in a year the build
ing of wooden ships which had been
a long lost art, and workmen in
many yards have increased in eff
cheney more than Is per cent.
where we have efficient manage
ment we have efficient workers.
Chairman Hurley declared today.

workmen in an inefficently man
