Twenty Vessels in
Neu York HQrbor
Affected BY Orde,

News that Dutch ships in this coun
try would be seized by the govern
ment unless Holland before next Mon
day agreed to a proposition for their
use by the Allies. caused little or no
surprise yesterday. Such action had
been looked for in shipping circles for
some time.
At present there are about sixty
Dutch ships on this side of the water,
shipping men say. Twenty of them are
at anchor in this harbor. The same
number are said to be in the coast
wise service. plying between this coun-
try, West Indies and South American
ports under the supervision of the
United States Shipping Board.
The Dutch ships here are all freight
ers with the exception of the Nieuw
amsterdam, with tonnage of 1880,
and the Ryndam, 1880. These
passenger steamers are owned by the
Holland America Line. This lines
terdam and the Noordam, are in Hol-
land ports.
Adrian Clips. managing director of
the Holland America Line. who ar
rived in this country few weeks ago,
said yesterday that the American
British decision to take over all the
Dutch ships in Allied ports for the
duration Of the war will affect about
rs per cent of the shipping controlled
by Dutch interests.
He expressed belief that the liner
Nieuw Amsterdam would be excepted
from this ruling. He said this vessel,
which recently arrived at this port,
came under a guarantee given by the
American Minister to the Netherlands
that it would be permitted to return to
Holland. Mr.. Gips further stated that
twelve vessels which had been unable
to secure clearance are now on voyage
to South Americ and other ports in
the coastwise trade under a special
agreement which calls for their return
with cargoes of sugar and nitrates for
American use. These steamers are
manned by their ORIGINAL Dutch crews.

Hollands BaTges
Long in Use on
German Canals

LONDON. March 14.-BecaUse of the
long delays in the negotiations with
Holland over Dutch ships in Allied
ports ard the slowness os the Dutch
government to act in this respect, Great
Britain ard the Unit-d States have
reached al. agreement to end the nego-
tiations and take over all such ships
next week for the use of the Allies.
AS regards Dutch ships in other than
ports in Great Britain and the United
States, it is believed the arrangement
includes number of such vessels in
Far Eastern ports. A telegram from
The Hague yesterday stated that the
Dutch Foreign Office had learned that
clearances had been refused to several
Dutch vessels at Singapore.
Realizing the difficult position Of
Holland, the Allies decided to force an
immediate settlement.
While Germany has been obstructing Z
the employment of Dutch tonnage by
the Allies she has been enjoying the
use Of Dutch barge tonnage On the Ger
man canals to an amount greater than
the ocean-going tonnage which the
Allies will secure under the new ar
rangement.

To Wreck Plants
At Hog Island
Witness Describes Finding
of Large Amount of
Dynamite

WASHINGTON, March IA gen
cra defense of the work at the Hog
Island shipyard, by Walter Goode-
nough, genera! manager of the plant,
and statement by Dudley R. Kennedy,
head of the yards industrial relations
department, that enough dynamite had
been found at Hog Island last month
to destroy half the yard, featured to-
days hearing of the Senate Shipbuild
ing Committee.
Mr.. Goodenough, whose $4,000 q
year salary frequently has been under
fire before the committee, told the Sen
ators he did not believe his salary was
excessive if his services were accepted
aries of other employees, and in that
connection Senator Nelson, of Mime
sofa. asserted that two high priced Off
cials at Hog Island formerly were in
the junk business in Minneapolis at
low pay.
TO support his assertion the Senator
read letters from persons in Minncapo
lis. One. written by t. 7. Abbott, a
civil engineer, said that Leo Harris,
now receiving $625 a month at Hog
Island, could not go back to Minneapo-
lis and earn $10O a month" Harris,
the letter said formerly was employed
by his father in the junk business.
Another letter asserted that George
Gillette, who receives SIS, 900 year at
Hog Island and who formerly lived in
Minneapolis, "knows very little about
any business" and that Bernard W.
Harris, who receives 81 900 a month at
Hog Island, was associated with his
father and brother in the junk business
before going to the shipyard
Gooncnough declared that he had
dealt with the Harris Brothers for sew
eral years, particularly in the purchase
of material, and found that their or
ganiZation could purchase material
the Harris Brothers and Gillette, he
insisted, are earning the salaries paid
tkem. b. W. Harris, the witness said,
was working for big wrecking con-
Germ in Chicago when brought to Hog
Island
After explaining the building of the
Hog Island yard Mr.. Goodenough, who
was on the stand three hours, defend
ed the fabricated ship policy. He said
the international American Shipbuild-
ing Corporation is saving the govern
ment large sums by awarding con-
tracts for fabricated ship plates to
SIS to Sc a ton less than Eastern plants
asked.
Mr.. Kennedy defended the work
done at Hog Island and it was in con-
nection with the difficulties encountered
in building the plant that he told Of
finding the dynamite.
Two hundred and forty-live pounds
Of the explosive were found at differ
ent times last month, he said, and only
recently twenty pounds were discovered
in one place in the plant. An investi-
CATION is now being made by govern
ment agents, he added
Mr.. Kennedy caused much surprise
among committee members by the
statement that the recent 20 per cent
advance allowed by the Wage Adjust
ment Board to ship workers on the
Delaware is retroactive to last Novem-
Der Is and to last January Is for men
engaged in building shpyards.

Yards Show High
Efficiency in Shipbuildin9
Visitors See Virtually Continuous Process Whereby Iron
Ore From Cuba Is Turned Into Steel Vessels
in One Plant
By Theodore M. knappen

WASHINGTON, March 14.-If all the
rest of the $4,000 men now building
ships in the United States were tearing
into their work the way the 10000 in
the Baltimore yards were when Chair
man Hurley and General Manager Piez
of the Shipping Board inspected them
to-day a great days work surely was
done.
Mcssrs. Hurley and Piez were ac-
companied by u number of newspaper
men-some of whom have written much
about ships and have seen little of
them, and some of whom have seen all
the great plants of Europe and Amer
ica. Both sorts were delighted with
what they saw in the yards of the
Baltimore Drydock and Shipbuilding
Company and the Sparrow's Point plant
of the Maryland Steel Company and
bethlehem Shipbuilding Company.
long since ceased to build ships in
terms of frturity; they build in terms
Of rivets driven home.
At Sparrows Point, where about $500
men are now engaged on ships alone,
the visitors saw many phases OF the
practically continuous process whereby
iron ore from Cuba is turned into ships
of steel in che plant. On the seven
ways are ships Of different kinds IN
degrees of progress from the just laid
keel to the big 10,000-ton tanker that
is due to slide into the water soon.
Building Big Drydock
This yard is the complete type Of
shipyard. Even the engines and boilers
for ships are made on the premises,
and in the near future it will roll all
Of its own plates as we'll as mill and
fabricate them, part of the plates
being rolled now.
Another feature of this yard is the
nearly completed concrete drydocs,
which will accommodate vessels of
10000 tons This drydock is a re-
hinder that the Shipping Board is not
forgetting that it is one thing to build
ships and another to take care of them
At the Baltimore Dry Dock and
Shipbuilding Company four ships are
advancing rapidly on the old ways and
start has been made on three ships
on as many new concrete ways. About
$500 men are at work in this plant.
and they are working at a rate that
insures the launching of s,Sooton
boats within ninety days from the lay-
ing of the keel. This yard boasts a
large dry dock and handles a large
amount Of repair work.

Descending Plank Picks Bush
Then the donkey engine man got
busy again. He directed the aerial
course of a big 2 by l2 inch plank
needed as prop for the cardboard
strake. The plank hovered overhead
for a moment and then descended with
a rush. 1t hit some one on the head.
There was a gasp from those near bv
and screams from few. The per
verse plank had selected out of several
thousand skulls presented as targets
the head of the big boss of the ship
yard-Irving Bush. Happily Mr. Bush
wasn't hurt, or if he was he gave no
sign beyond removing his soft felt hat
and rubbing the back of his head.
Then the first rivet was pushed into
place and hammered fiat by Mr. Bush
''The record for the construction of
such snip as this is designed to be-"
said Mr. Bush. "is sixty-seven days. l
am coming back here in just sixty-six
days and want to find this ship ready

About twelve hundred men are en-
ployed in the Newburgh shiuyards

force to 5000. Thomas Desmond
president of the concern. invited the
New York newspapers to have repre-

When these representatives were
forced to get out of the only available
vehicle at the ferry terminal to give
way to the directors of the shipyard

tion. Germany threatened to sink
Dutch ships operating under this
agreement.
Our reason for insisting that Dutch
ships leaving our ports should be re
replaced was that otherwise the ship
ping here subject to seizure would
gradually come under the control OF
Germany by entering the waters which
her submarines dominate.
No fear is felt that food shipped to
Holland or Switzerland under the new
arrangement will go into Germany. The
needs Of both are too great for them
to permit food to leave their borders.
Moreover. no surplus would be sent
from here.
The Dutch Minister here is protest
ing vigorously against the decision of
the two governments, but his protest
is regarded as aimed mainly to Justify
Holland in the eyes of Germany The
requisitioning of the ships will be
agreeable to the ship owners Of Hol-
land, for now the idleness of their ton
mage ends and it will begin to earn
dividends. The pro-Germat element in
Holland will, however, make much COM
plant against the action of the Allies.
