GIVE THESE POWERS

~ IKE fliEciNENl.
From the New York sun.
Senator Fletcher has introduced In
Congress a bill empowering the Gov
ernment TO commander and to build
houses for artisans employed In ship
yards, TO control transportation lines
serving these plants and to establish
barred zones for their protection. The
provisions Of the bin ronow the re-
commendatlons made by Admiral
Bowles. manager Of steel ship con-
structlon for the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration. They form a logical and me-
cessary part Of the Governments ship
building plan.
The grave emergency IN the produc-
tion OF shipping which has been caused
by lack OF housing faciliues for work
ers In the yards has been graphically
set forth this week by Homer /. Fer-
euson, president OF the Newport News
Shlpbuildlng Company which is not
able 10 produce 30 It's full capacity
simply because 70 cannot shelter the
men it needs
One great obstacle TO quick construc-
tion Of ships has been the imposslhiily
Of obtaining sufficient labor al the
yards, and this has resulted largely
Af'AAA tAtN lAAAANNriNAANN NA fWlN NENlM-
living quarters for the men who are
needed Many Of the plants are situated
Tar from residential quarters, and the
facilities for travel TO and from them
are insufficient But Admiral Bowlos
testified that while the ydrds could not
get workers because the workers could
not get homes, IN some instances sum
mer rutta0es, at most occupied only
a fo.4s utaufhr Ia Iha t,tfH.Tf- - al. 4 a
season, could be adapted for tenants
Il they could be obtained. m numerous
casca tho owners OF these cottaces
would unCuestionsbly be glad 10 turn
them over TO the Government, Dut the
trensfor eould be better managed under
statute providing for their use, IN
other cases no houses exist and at such
places the Government would be badly
Handicapped II 10 could not build op-
prOurlato shelters for its men,
The maintenance " transportation
lines 90 the shipyards, managed prim-
arlly for their benefit would allow
workers 30 live IN nearby communl-
Ties, and to travel from the plants to
their homes under the best conditions
unhampered by local troulc, which, lm-
portant 20 individuals though Il might
necessities Of the war arc involved.
The imperative necessity of those
sections Of Senator Fletchcr's bill witch
affect tho protection Of tho ship-yards
from spies, from fire hazards, and from
other porlls arising outside their limits.
Is apparent, Under the authority they
would grant the President could ac-
quire IN the neighbOrhood Of q shlpyard
whatever land might be neetsd FOR the
safety Of The plant, and police It EN-.
clcntly by military or civil guards Tho
government would thus be able 90 look
after rs interests inside aud outside
these establishments without clashing
with the local authorities or with pri-
vato individuals,
The powers sought IN this measure
are natural Incidents Of The shipbulld-
ing programme son whose success de-
pends the foillng Of the U-boot menace.
They are essential TO the proper prose-
cution Of war against Germany, and
Congress should not hesitate TO confer
them on the Executive Department Of
the Government.
