T|E.UP THREATENS
 WOODENSH|P PLANTS
Members of Caulkers Union Put Ban on Apprentices-Head of Carpenters Refuses to Aid in Recruiting Caulkers.

Washington, March 8.-Wooden ships on the ways in the Puget Sound district almost ready to launch in the race for tonnage to defeat the sub marines are being held up by a short age of caulkers which officials of the shipping board said today was due to the refusal of two unions to CO., operate.
 The Caulkers' Union and the Bro- therhood of Carpenters have been in- formed of the situation, but without result. Immediate action is declared necessary to prevent a tie-up of the Pacific coast programme. and there were intimations tonight that the shipping board is prepared for some drastic steps if all other means fail.
 William L. Hutcheson, president of the carpenters, was told of the need for caulkers and his attention called to the unreserved assistance being given by other shipbuilding unions to the nation during the war. Hutche- son, officials say, replied that his or ganization had listed thousands of trained caulkers, whom he would be glad to mobilize for the nations work if the shipping board granted his re- quest for special representation of the carpenters on the wage adjust ment board.
 The Caulkers' Union of Seattle, which controls caulkers in the Puget Sound district, is said to have re- fused apprentices permission to work with them in order to learn the trade, although the union has only 1855 members, and at least 600 are necessary to put in the water the ships planned for completion this year An effort to train 90 men for caulking provoked a strike of the ex- perienced men, who have been receiv- ing wages and overtime said to be causing unrest among the other em- ployes.
 Means for remedying the situation which the shipping board has in mind have not been disclosed Orders al- ready have been issued, however, to all shipyards that the arrangements are held responsible for completion of the ships on time and that they must use whatever men and machin- cry that can be obtained to put them out.
 One suggestion advanced has been that 800 carpenters willing to volun- teer for patriotic work under condi- tions approved by the American Fed eration of Labor should be recruited in the east. A machine for caulking now is in process of development.
 Approximately 162 ships are sche- duled for delivery in the Puget Sound district by Jan. 1 and 100 more as soon as possible thereafter
 Pacific coast builders now in Wash ington seeking contracts for 150 more ships have been told that con tracts cannot be awarded unless the situation is remedied. Officials say 50 or 75 existing contracts might have to be cancelled if caulkers were allowed to stand in the way of com pletion of the programme.

Heavy Editorial.

Alexander II. Stephens. vice presi-
dent of the Southern Confederacy,
who after the Civil war was repeated
ly elected to congress from Georgia,
was an exceedingly thin man. One day
there fell under his observation a news
paper item saying that he weighed 80
pounds. In reply to this he wrote n
letter to the editor of the offending
Journal demanding an immediate re-
traction. II will not be slandered in
this manner" he protested. my
weight is "a pounds" The former vice
president was himself an editor, with
a habit Of writing very long articles for
his paper in Georgia, and the contem-
pOrary which had made the unwelcome
statement regarding his weight refused
to retract 1t for the reason, he said,
that "Mr. Stephens must have had one
Of his editorials in his pocket when
he last tried the scales. This would
account for the difference of four
pounds between the two figures"

Thought He Wa. "settIne 'Em Up"

Thought He Was "Settln0 EN- Up."
A young Topeka army officer, now in
France, was seized while in Paris with
a desire to send his sister present,
and finally decided on a waist, says
the Kansas City Star. He entered a
fashionable shop and selected a waist,
but not knowing the size his sister re-
quired, singled out a pretty Partisan
clerk who looked about his sisters
size, and asked her to try the waist on.
When she returned the fit was pro-
nounced perfect, and the young officer
nodded approvingly and paid the cash
Ter. As he turned back to claim the
article, the clerk few into his arms and
kissed him again and again. exclaim-
ing, "Thank you, thank you" All the
other clerks in the store then caught
the idea that the handsome young
American was "setting them up" gen.
orally to girls who wanted new waists.
and begged him to buy for them also.
The officer finally excused a retreat in
some manner. or other. but the sister
in Topeka has not yet received any

Her Horrible Suspicion,

We are all to be oversuspicious, just
now, of everything and everybody. An
instance of this regrettable tendency
is furnished by an edifying food queue
story which Is going the rounds here.
A queue had formed up outside a
butchers shop In London suburb and,
in order to make things easier for all
concerned, the shopman adopted the
plan Of letting his customers in in par
ties Of eight or ten, and Of letting them
out from the rear Of his premises.
One old woman, noticing that, though
many went in, none came out, marveled
greatly. and, when It came her turn to
enter, she hesitated about doing so.
Hurry up, madam" shouted the
butcher, who didn't want to lose time.
"But what have you done with all
the other people7" was the startling
inquiry.-London Times.

This little monkey sat on rock sur
