CONTRAST WET AND DRY
SA|PYARDS IN QUIZ
Testimony mt Inquiry Into Hog Jsiaad
shipynrds situation Recalls
Colby View.

The opinion of Messrs. Colby and
Hurley continues to be kicked around
like the famous hound dog
1t will be recalled that these two
gentlemen ventured the guess before
the senate agricultural committee
when The war prohibition measure
was under consideration that ship
builders deprived OF beer would suffer
loss of IS per cent in efficiency The
statement attracted nationwide at
tention. especially in view of the fact
that Secretary of Navy Daniels in re-
buttal produced figures from the emer-
gency boards. own records. which
showed that the dry shipyards were
exceiling In speed and production.
Since that time more facts have acep :
muiated which make the Hurley Colby
opinion more ridiculous with the pass
ing weeks.
a Washington press dispatch, und CIR
date of December Ie. adds eonsidera bic
to the accGmulative evidence in sup
port of the contention that the wet
shipyards are not holding their own
with the dry. This dispatch records
the testimony of Charles Piez. general
manager of the. Emergency Fleet cor
poration. and Charles NJ. Schwab, until
recently director general. given before
the senate investigating committee in :
curing into tlie Hog Island shipyare
situation. Hog Island is located In the
midst of wet territory.
The decision to reopen the inquiry
resulted from statement recently
made In the senate that s5s.ooe.000 had
been spent so far on construction and
that one lone shin had been launched
and il was launched before II was sea-
worthy. II was prematurely launched
when it was about IS per cent riveted
to carry out scheduled program. 1t
had to be returned for completion. &C.
easioning a delay of about sixty days.
The total cost of the yard Mr. Pfez
estimated to he 63.Gn0.0o8 and he
thought the plant should be compI eted
In sixty days Under questions OF var
ious senator's. 1t was stated thai while
construction work has been under the
d / r @ tj of former Rear \ dmirai
Bowles. who had practically unlimited
powers. the responsibility of carrying
out the full program of constructing
fifty ways instead of thirty-one. rest
ed on the Emergency Fleet corporation.
The record for construction. Mr.. piez
SAYS, is keelx for fifty ships laid, one
ship delivered and. ffxe in the basin,
bnt II Is anticipated that the delivery
of at least two more ships will be
made be fare January l.
And now comes tho part of the Yes-
timony that diseredits the Colby Hur-
ley idea. Mr.. Piez praised the work
performed BY the skinner and Eddy
plant at Seattle. Wash. which produced
twentv-six ships this year on five

for product!cn, he said,
