IS DOING GREAT WORK
Most of Workers in Gloucester City

fare Society

The Pusey and Jones Club formed
among the workers at the Pennsylvania
and New Jersey Shipyards. Gloucester
City. Is doing great work. according to
DR.. Charles A. Eaton. chief of the
national service section, of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation.
The club was formed to promote the
welfare of the shipyard workers, and
now most of the men employed in the
two yards are members and they are
deriving great benefits Meetings TO
instruct various kind of workers are
being held weekly and now there is in
force an Accounting School directed by
William Corletto, who has charge of the
cost department,
DR., Eaton, when he visited the two
yards a few days ago and attended
meeting of the club was surprised
at the work being done and said that
there is no other shipyard with an Or
ganization of this kind.
Herbert Robinson. one of the mem
bers of the club, who holds position
as iayer-out, broke record a few DAYS
Nago when he laid 80 4-lO tons or ob-
point shell plates

yard and they believe that every en-
ploye.~will contribute a days pay so
that the fund from the shipyards will
be very large.
An inter department baseball league
has been formed by the Pusey and
Jones employees of the two shipyards
The schedule arranged runs to October
S, and each team will play twenty-one
games. Captain Hansen. donated the
sum of S400 TO the league to be used
in providing uniforms to the teams and
there is going to be great rivalry among
them. Games will be played on Satur-
days and holidays
About fifteen crews of conductors and
motormen. who were formerly employed
on the trolley cars in Camden and
Philadelphia, now leave the New Jersey
and Pennsylvania shipyards every day
at 4 O'Clock and go to Camden and
bring down trolley cars and carry the
shipyard workers home. This has greatly
relieved the congested condition. The
men are paid shipyard rates while
operating the cars. The pay-as-you-
enter terminal will soon be built at the
old racetrack so that the cars can be
left there in the mornings and taken
back at night.

shipping board, ard in connection with
1t Hog Island is preparing To launch its
first ship on that DAY Other shipyards
in this district will also speed up" work
to help put over" a new Independence

try. This was announced after a meet
ins of President Wilson's war cabinet
Communicating of steel is expected
to aid materially the Hog Island ship
yards in the completion of a ship in time
to participate in tho Fourth of July
launching program. originally. it had
been scheduled to launch the first shin
at Hog Island in August.
In Communicating steel the Govern
ment has pointed cut that heretofore II
mas been depending upon priorities sys-
TEN for securing the steel necessary for
carrying out its war program, but the
uncertainty of this system was feared.
and necessitated the ncw move.
Steel Shortage Hnmpered Work

the Emergency Fleet Corporation, adj
mitted soon after his appointment that a
shortage of steel held up work at Hog
Island
Now, with the Government in COM
mand of the steel supply. It is ex-
pected there will he no more delays. and
the speedup program will he pushed
vigorously with a view to participating
in the great launching festival" on In
dependence Day
Every shipyard in the country has
been asked by telegraph to join the
speed-up movement to make the holiday
the greatest launching day
San Francisco has invited Mr Schwab
and Commissioner Colby to re present in
nland of the steel supply. it is ex-
that city July 4 for the launching fete.
T. wilson May Have Part In Launch
President Wilson may be asked to take
part in the Liberty Launching" pro-
gram.
Chairman Hurley expects the launch
ings to be made a series of notable
celebrations in all yards a. a peculiarly
fitting way to CONNIE emorate the sign
ing of the Declaration Of Independence
It is the aim to have at least one
launching in each yard. so that the
event may be made into one of pa
triotic inspiration to all the shipbuld-
ers of the country.
It is believed that work could prob
ably be SO arranged as to At in with
this program. With month and a half
intervening, construction could be
speeded up in those yards where ships
are not near the launching stage.
Through placing boilers and engines in
ships still on the ways, launChings
scheduled for a few DAYS prior to July
4, will be held up with no delay in
work, 1t is planned
