RUSH TOENRO[[
IN THE SH|PYARDS

The Office of Charles v. Wheeler,
1211A Connecticut avenue, was crowded
this morning, with men eager to enlist
cruited in the District to work in the
shipyards. The volunteers came in on
Mr.. Wheeler almost before he had time
to prepare to list them. He said he ex-
pected to have clerical help tomorrow.
Mr.. Wheeler was named by the United
States public reserve service to conduct
the campaign in the District. He esti-
mated that nearly hundred men visited
his Office today in answer to the call.
Those who apply are listed in the
United States Shipyard Volunteers,
subject to call at any moment to report
for work at one of the yards where the
ships are being built to carry Amer
ica's Army and supplies to Europe.
Men to Be Given Training.
Although trained men are preferred.
1t is announced that skilled laborers
will be given any supplementary train
ing they may need at the shipyard to
which they are assigned free of charge
Men will be called as rapidly as hous-
ing accommodations can be provided
near the yards. They will be paid the
prevailing wage.
Although men who enroll in this
army of labor will not be entirely ex-
empted from the draft, they will be put
in a deferred classification.
The campaign for shipbuilders is be-
ing conducted throughout the nation
and 100000 recruits is the goal which
has been set. In appealing for recruits
the shipping board is pointing out that
the trained army of soldiers is useless
unless the ships can be turned out to
carry it to the other side

LIVINGSTONE BEFORE
COMMISSION AGAIN

Colin H. Livingstone of this city was
called today by the Federal Trade Com
mission to complete his testimony as to
his alleged relation with the packers.
Mr.. Livingstone was interrupted In his
testimony Saturday by evidence of a
letter which he was asked to search for
in his files, and, If found, present to the
commission.
Charles H. May, manager of the
Farmers Cooperative Association. and
Independent and cooperative packing
plants of Madison, Wis, testified that
the five big packers took turns in cut
ting prices on beef and pork in the CO.
operative association territory. so that
the latter's sales were reduced greatly.
He said he knew from years Of expert
ence with Swift & Co. that the packers
prices were below the cost of produce
tion.
This happened some years ago7"
asked Francis ]. Heney. the commits
sion's counsel.
"It happened this year, also. three
weeks ago" May replied.
How is that? Aren't they being reg
ulated by the food Administrations"
"I haven't seen it," replied May.
Since the commissions investigation
began, May testified, 1t had been i'm
possible TO OBTAIN invoices OF safes py
the big packers. although butchers
readily gave them before. The COM
mission obtained a number of peremp-
tory orders. May testified also that
grades now were being omitted from
invoices. Attorney Heney brought that
out with the announced intention OF
showing that the packers took steps to
cover up their alleged efforts to sti-
file competition by making it difficult to
compare prices with those of the inde-
pendents.
E. c. Lasater of Falfurrias. Tex. tes-
tilted as to difficulties in marketing
livestock. which the livestock men long
have contended show an understanding
between the big packers to keep prices
low.
