THE STONE ship FAITH"

today in this respect will remain when
normal times return. According to
the average estimate the cost of the
reinforced concrete hull is about 70
per cent of the cost of steel hull
of same lightweight carrying capac-
ity in the case of small tonnage, the
saving becoming somewhat less i'm
portant for bigger units. Against
this, it is said, the cost of machinery
and outfit for concrete vessels Is ap-
proximately 5 per cent higher than it
is for steel vessels.
Be this as it may, the shipping
board is committed to the construc-
ton Of concrete steam vessels costing
$50, 100000. Eight 7,500-ton concrete
fuel oil tankers will be constructed
at the new local shipyards to be es-
tablished by the emergency fleet cor
poration. Hence it seems certain that
concrete ships will be given a fair
"try-out." Necessity ever was the
mother of invention and if the con-
crete deep water ship should prove an
all around success the present short
age of tonnage will not have been
without a compromising advantage.

The California built, reinforced con-
crete steamship Faith" has made her
trial trip off the Golden Gate and men
who fought to know" have pronounced
her complete success.
Before this issue reaches our read
ers the gallant "stone" ship is ex-
pected to be en- route to Vancouver,
B. c., manned, of course, by COM
petent union crew.
The Faith" is not the first stone
ship afoat. Concrete barges have
been built in Italy for number of
years, and reinforced concrete vessels
Of four and five hundred tons have
been constructed in Denmark, Sweden
and Norway. These have been built
very much on the same methods as
those which apply to reinforced con-
crete buildings, and launched on the
side or bottom up;" but the Faith"
was the first large sized vessel ever
built of reinforced concrete.
The reason for resorting to the
use Of cement in the construction of
ships is, obviously, in the lower cost.
Experts, however, quite frankly state
that it is most difficult to give an
accurate comparison Of the prices for
steel and reinforced concrete ships.
The question is so beclouded by con-
siderations Of many kinds that it has
been questioned whether the unde-
niable advantage which concrete offers

ROCK EFELLER, JR., MAKES SUR
PRISE VISIT TO COLORADO.
Arrived in Trinidad Monday, Accom-
panied by Mrs. Rockefeller, to Look
Over His Workers Welfare Plan.

John d. Rockefeller, Jr., and Mrs.
Rockefeller arrived at Trinidad this
week, and contemplate being in Den
yer some time during his visit, prob
ably Wednesday of next week. Mr..
Rockefeller is in Colorado, he says, to
visit all of the coal mining and other
camps that are under the ownership
or control of the Colorado Fuel e.
Iron Company. 1t was said the party
would remain in the state for about
one month.
w. L. Matchmaking of New
York, director of the Colorado Fuel
& Iron Company, came West with Mr..
Rockefeller. The party was met at
Trinidad by J. F. Welborn, president
of the, company; J. B. McKennan, vice
president; J. p. Thomas, division su-
perintendent, and E. H. Weitzel, man.

The itinerary Of the party was not
disclosed, more than a statement that
Mr.. Rockefeller contemplates visiting
each camp where the company has
properties, both in this state and in
Wyoming, and the big C. F. & /. steel
plant in Pueblo.
The present visit to the state is the
first Mr.. Rockefeller has made since
1915, when he proposed the "Rocke-
Teller plan" of industrial consultations
between the employees of the company
and it's officers.

"This action by Mr.. McAdoo will do
more for the efficient management of

might have been done," he declared.
"These presidents were really serving

than serving the public. In my opin-

as he was permitted under private

of the employees may mean something
to ambitious railroad officials. The

NOTES FROM THE CAPITOL.

Colorado is going after more and
greater war contracts. By co-opcrat-
ing with the Colorado Manufacturers
Association, and with other civic and
commercial bodies, the Colorado coun-
Gil Of defense, under Governor julius
c. Gunter, is hopeful Of bringing large
orders to the manufacturing plants
Of the state. Also Of accomplishing
these things:
Help the government get the quick
est action possible on war orders.
Keep Colorado mechanics and arti-
sans working in Colorado.
Make it unnecessary for such work.
men to go elsewhere for employment.
Transfer workmen from non-essen-
tial industries to such industries as
Assist manufacturers, by advice and
in other ways, to fill all old orders
and to get new ones.
Word came to the council and to
Governor Gunter that some workmen,
because their places had been declared
non-essential, were leaving or were
about to leave Colorado for other
fields and jobs. Governor Gunter be-
lieves that Colorado can supply many
of the things which the war depart
ment needs as cheaply and quite. as
good as those things can be procured
in other states, thus keeping Colo
radios plants busy and Colorado's
people employed at home. The Colo
RADIO Manufacturers Association will
formulate comprehensive program
which the war council will assist in
carrying out. The plan will not be
local in any way, but will include all
towns and industries.

tional war labor board. If he fails
to surrender his hostile position on the
right Of the men to organize, the
board will be forced to summon the
board of directors of the company
here, to inquire whether they are with
their employee, Carlton, or with the
government. The Commercial Teleg-
raphers Union is patiently biding its
time while the war labor board ex-
hausts every resource Of peaceful set
Element of the issue, but it will stand
pat on the right guaranteed by the
board and by President Wilson-the
right to organize. The outcome must
be the company's surrender or the tax
ing of the industry by the govern
ment.
Hatters Appeal for Redress.
Nothing new has marked the week
in the steel workers case. They wait
for the decision in the case Of the
Telegraphers. Every day gives new
ground for confidence that the war
labor board will exercise it's powers,
and that the day when an employer
could break the union in a war in
dustry at least, is gone.
Some doubt exists as to industries
not involved in the war. The Dan
bury hatters, for example, have been
here to plead for action by the war
labor board on their strike. But their
work is not connected with war sup
plies, and apparently they will have
to win their fight in some other way,
Porto Rican Labor Coming.
The first 10000 Porto Rican labor
ers are to be in Norfolk, Newport
News and other points on the Allan
tic coast next month, to earn 35 cents
an hour on government work. They
have been getting 65 and IS cents a
day at home, thanks to the sugar
barons and Governor wager.
When $4,000 of them are brought
to the states by the department of
labor, under its announced plan, il
may be that the sugar barons will be
less ready to beat and shoot and Jail
them when they go on strike.
All of Latin America is said to be
fully informed thru its labor press Of

basis of one delegate for each l5O

probably be held in Denver. Chair

STATE OFFICERS, FOUR CON-
gressmen and eppe United States sena-
tor are to be chosen in the November
election. Senator Shafroth, Demo-
crat, will be a candidate to succeed
himself, and so far no real opposition
has developed IN his own party. The
four congressman, three Democrats
and one Republican, will undoubtedly
stand for reelection. Except in the
First or Denver district, now repre-
sented by Ben Hillard, there Is not
likely to be much contest. Edward
Heating in the Pueblo or Third dis
trict, seems to be certainty, as does
Ed Taylor in the Western slope or
Fourth district. In the Second dis
trict, Charles B. Undertake, Repub.
lican, has made such good record
and is SO well liked by both Repub-
leans and Democrats of his district
that he has a cinch. No man in Con.
gress has been more loyal in support
of President Wilson's war policy than
Charlie Timberlake.
