SHIP CONTRACTS
Rerort CT Cancellation Caused
Near Panic Among Employees
Of Yards.

A near-panic was caused by a
wide spread announcement in the
public press to the effect that tte
Shipping Board intended to cancel
contracts for two million tons of
steel ships now being built in Amer
lean yards. Director General Piez
upon retiring from the Shipping
Board characterized this announced
policy as policy of scuttle." Mr..
Hurley, chairman of the Shipping
Board, now emphaticaily denies any
Intention Ct ruthless cancellation
cf contracts and ctates that in real
ity is is cnly intended to 50 readjust
cur construction program as to
eliminate certain undesirable types
CT vessel and substitute ships of
gr.eter tonnage. He further states
chat contracts for the new ships will
ibe given out to those yards whose
present contracts suffer cancella-
tion.
1t is readily seen that the policy
Ct the Shipping Beard is in accord
with the policy of the adn.inistra-
ton to refrain from throwing large
groups of .abor out Of employment.
The shipyards of the country may
count upon continuation of the
awarding cf contracts sufficient to
keep them busy for long time to
come.

must conclude that De Priest was in
dieted for something else than stand
ing for his race.
De Priest confsssss Charges.
'In the first edition of the De
Priest circular he confesses that he
/, is still under charges while running
for public Office, to wit:
"Being now practically freed of
the accusations made against him, he
submits his candidacy to the people,
making his fight on his record"
Page 8.
" In the second edition this con-
fession is left out, it would. appear
as if he had repented for confessing
the truth and tried to take it back.
However. the first edition still stands
and is preferred because true, and
when taken in connection with the
Criminal Court record, it is too plain
how De Priest would deceive and
impose himself upon the race to the
great injury of US all.
81 wish to suggest something of
what he means when he says he is
practically freed of accusations. He
was tried on indictment No. 10410.
He is now under the following indict-
ments and bonds: No. 10411-bond
IS, 100000; No. 10412-bond $1,000

bond 100000; and No. 1886
bond 100000. These last two in
dictments contain seven CD counts
ode Priest says indictments are no
thing and walks about under them as
though they were so many diamonds
DR. foreign decorations. do not be-
Iieve that any people can afford to
elect any man to Office under these
and of all peoples curl
race can least afford it. And as the
chosen representative of the people,
however painful, ! must call to public
the full record Of De Priest,
hat the people may know to what
hangers and disgrace he still insists
lpon forcing upon our people and our
.ity.
