The fact that shipyards are work

was characterized by Mr.. Piez as
"monstFous."

Text Of Statement
Mr.. Piez's statement follows:

soon thereafter more than 10000
workmen will be required to furnish
for them the three eight-hour shifts
necessary il these yards are to turn
out their ships according to schedule.
"The shipping board now has 7l6
shipways; 302 are for wooden ships
and Ala are for steel construction.
THE yards in which they are estab.
lished are only working one eight
hour shift per day, six days week.
This is monstrous. If we are to keep
ahead of the submarine we must run
three shifts per day fifty.two weeks in
the year
Spirit is Lacking.
Our program calls for the construc-
ton IN 1918 of eight times the tom

more than billion dollars. The
shipping board has the necessary
yards, the materials and the money
all that is lacking is spirit in the
nation that will send a quarter. Of q

yards to give their best and most ef-
fieient work.
Il am sorry to say at the present
time the native born American work
man is not the mainstay OF the ship

of 50 per cent Of the men employed

are forced to depend on foreign born

members of the State Chamber of
Commerce is asked to register vote.
The question is on the adoption of the
of the following preambles and resolu'
ton:
Whereas, The size of Germany
present armament and her militaristic
attitude have been due to the fact that
her government is a military autoc-
racy, not responsible to the German
people: and
Whereas, The size of the German
armament after the war will be the
measure of greatness of the arma-
ment forced on all nations; and
Whereas, Careful analysis of eco
nomc conditions shows that the size
Of Germans future armament will
Fundamentally depend on her after-war
receipts of war materials and profits
from her foreign trade: and
Whereas. In our opinion the Amer
lean people for the purpose of pre-
venting an excessive armament will
assuredly enter an economic combina-
ton against Germany if governmental
conditions in Germany make it neces
sary for self-defense: and
Whereas. We believe the American
people will not join in discriminate
ion against German goods after the
war if danger of excessive armament
has been removed by fact that the Ger
man government has in reality be-
come responsible instrument con-
trolled by the German people; there

Resolved, That the Chamber OF

of the business men of Germany to
these conditions and urges them to
study this situation and to cooperate
to the end that disastrous economic
war may be averted and that last
ing peace may be made more certain.
