Concrete Boats.

Concrete cargo boats have passed the stage OF
ridicUle and have reached the point where engi-
necrs OF the highest character are ready to put
their reputation behind the innovation.
Concrete boats easily bulded. No govern
ment yards necessary Labor for their making
would not draw from labor now at work on wood
steel ships
The New York Times recently endorsed the
idea in these words:
We could add 500 concrete cargo boats to
present product of ships-between two and
three million tons. We could very nearly
double with these boats the present prospect
from steel construction.
1t is solely emergency measure that
the concrete fleet is urged. 1t might prove
permanent addition TO ship types.
1t might mean a tremendous gain While
we pouring out billions for munitions it
seems worth the gamble to risk fifty or a
hundred millions to get boats enough to land
these munitions in France.

HOLDS Big Meeting
Senator Williams in Patriotic Ad-

1T trust that after this war is over
the United States will not extend the
franchise to any foreigners who can

livered last night by Senator John
Sharp Williams before the newly
formed Washington All-State Club
held in the Church, of the Covenant
attended by some 400 newcomers to
the Capital representing all States in
the Union.
Senator Williams, who declared that
the melting pot in America was
boiling buster than ever on account
of the war and would continue to dc
so thereafter, prophesied that the
people of the country would be more
firmly welded together than ever af-
ter hostilities were over.
The meeting last night was the first
held by the All-State Club, although
three similar meetings have been held
in the Church of the Covenant under
different names. The new organiza.
tion is an outgrowth of the Lonesome

State and Federal Department OF

National War Labor Board the Ia
Dor situation at the works of the
bethlehem Steel Company, at Beth
1ehem, Pa.
Machinists in the plant are or
strike. The strikers claim 5000
men are out. The company places
the number at between 1900 auG
1.5OO, The electrical workers are
said to be on the verge of strike
as the result OF the company's fail
ure to act on demands presented or
April l.
One cause of complaint is the
fact that workers in the production
division enjoy, under Federal
statute, a basic eight-hour day
and draw time and a half for over
time work. The maintenance mer
and electricians are required to
work a fraction more than ter
hours a day on straight time. These
workers claim they are entitled 10

duction employees.
Another source of contention is
the attitude of the company to

workers is supposed to have the

and other obstructionS set in the
path of organization.
Important government contract
