FOUR SHIPS DELIVERED By U. s.
Three From Hog Island Yards, Picz
Announces at Inquiry.

Washington. Jan. 3.--Only four ships
have been delivered by the three great
government fabricated shipbuilding
| plants. Charles Piez. director general Of
the emergency fleet corporation, said
yesterday in testifying before the SEN
ate commerce committee. Difficulties
IN constructing the yards and in OBJ
tanning material were largely respon-
| sihle for the delays. the witness said.
Three OF the ships have come from
| the Hog Island yards. Mr.. Piez testi-
| ned. and tho fourth from the Suhma-
rine Boat corporation plant at Port
| Newark, y. J.. which should have de-
livered IA vessels by last Dec. I. The
| Merchants ShipbuildinC Corporation at
fristoi. Pa, has not yet delivered a
ship, he said. although under its con-
| tract twenty four should have been
completed on Dec. I. The Hog Island
ward delivered its third ship today and
has launched twelve others, the COM
| mittee was told.
Before resuminc it's inquiry today
the committee odopted Il rcsolut ion by
Senator Nelson of Minnesota extending
its investigation to include a survey
of the progress of all government mer-
chant shipbuilding.
Under the resolution the shipping
board and the emergency fleet corpo-
ration would ae required TO furnish a
stat ement showing the number OF ship
| pards where ships for the government
| are being or are to be built or con-
tracted for together with the capacity
| of the yards and the amounts con-
| tr:buted by the government for their
construction, 4 any, and the number
Of ships each has completed or
| launched. The committee also asked
| for the expenditures made from all
| money appropriated by congress for
| ships and whether any Of the vessels
t,ccmpleted for the fleet corporation
have been used in carrying men or
munitions to or from Europe.
| Questioned today about the Hog Is
land yard. Mrs. Piez told the commit
tee that because Of a change in the
MANAGEMENT of the American 1nterna-
tional Shipbuilding corporation con-
tractors on the Hog Island project, the
| fleet corporation had decided that X
| would be unwise for the government TO
take over management Of the yard at
| this time. Under the new arrangement
Matt Brush, formerly wee president
! Of the American International corpora
f.! ton. heads the American international
| Shipbuilding corporation.
| The Hog Island yard, the witness de-
f, clared has been the Mecca for repre-
sentatives OF all nations visiting the
| United States and generally they have
expressed admiration for 1t. He said
the plant eventually would become
big producer.
The celebration tina. marked the
launching Of the first ship at Hog Is
land last July cost the government
1000, Mr.. Pi2z said.
The ship was the Viscount which
was prematurely launched and later
had to be lowed to station for re-
pairs. The president and Mrs wilson
were the chief guests, It is said.

BRYAN APPEALS FOR
 SERVICE OF COUNTRY
 DURING PEACE TIME

Baltimore. Md. January 2.-"This war has taught the lesson that those who make the best citizens in time of peace make the best soldiers In time of war Said William Jennings Bryan tonight in an address made here in which he made fervent appeal to the men in uniform to serve their country as well in peace as in war He indorsed President Will sons trip abroad,>and praised the victory won for American ideals.
 You fellows will have in private life the same chances for service as in war. Go back home with the determination to be as brave in peace as '.; war. If you consider a thing as right do not stop to think how many others are of the same opinion as you. No person can do anything unless he has the courage of his conviction. The man who is not ready to die for a cause is not worthy of liv- ing for it.
 President Wilson was wise in going abroad He knew the importance of see ing to it that the ideals which the Amer ican people have. fought for would be preserved st the peace conference. He went to Europe to see to it thai peace is to be built on foundations that will en- lure. He will help lay the foundations for a peace that will not end

SNOW INTERFERED
 WITH STREET CAR !. SERVICE YESTERDAY
Many Suburbanites Had to Walk Home in SnOwstOrm. Ferd Caheen Relates
 His Experiences

Street car traffic was seriously in- terfered with yesterday by the snow and sleet that prevailed throughout the day and delays were experienced on practically everyi line on the sys-. tenn During the early part of the night traffic was completely blocked on Fifth avenue for sometime, owing to a broken axle on an outbound Ems ley car Other minor accidents were reported and several cars ran off the track owing to thes now. The motor ing to the driving snow covering the windows in front of the cars and had to proceed slowly along their routes 10 avoid accidents.
 Many residents of the suburbs had to walk home owing to the belated street car service. while others re- sorted 10 the luxury of a taxicab. Later in the evening the taxis were all in service and it was with difficulty that one could be secured.
 Ferd Caheen gave the following ac- count of hls experiences in tourney ing home: q waited over an hour for street ear and then tried to hire a taxi, only to be told there was not one to be had. SeeisE a boy driving Ford | hailed him and he agreed to take me home Just as I was rejoicing at my good fortune In securing the conveyance. the Ford baked and posi- lively refused to proceed.

AMERICAN
 WILL OBJECT ID
 PROPOSED PLAN
Will Accept No Principle of International Adjustment, Regardless of Peace Con-
 ference Decisions
By Associated Press

Washington, January 2.-Proposals to be under consideration by the British war cabinet looking toward establishment of an international tribunal to adjust la bor conditions, possibly as an adjunct to a league of nations, do not meet with favor at the American Federation of La- bor headquarters. Y News dispatches from London, and private adyices to labor officials lately have indicated that several such propo- sals would be presented to the peace conference, and that some of them would contemplate international standardization of wages and restrictions making impos- sible the sweating of labor anywhere.
 No one will object to dealing death- blow to sweating Frank Morrison. secretary of the American Federation Of Labor said today, but T question II American labor will turn its affairs over to an international committee.
 Under such a system iron workers in America could not improve conditions II their present standards are in excess or the Belgium iron workers, for instance. This would be good systern-for the the employers in America and England, whose workers are better conditioned than those on the continent.
 The best way to internationalize stan dards of working people is to first es- tablish American standards. Any other system of internationalization means that the American workers must surrender gains made or the American worker must postpone further gains until workers in continental Europe reach his present standards.
 "The American worker will accept no such principle. regardless of any decision that may be made at the peace confer ence"

BERLIN NEWSPAPER PLEADS FOR UNITY
Declares There Is No Use Complaining of Harsh
 Tones of Armistice

London, January 2.-British Wireless Service )-The vossische Zeitung of Ser lin, pointing out that it is useless for the Germans to complain of the harsh tones of the armistice and to plead for food from their former enemies until they establish stable government in Berlin says:
 Al that sort of thing is only oalcu lated to confuse the real issues and to miss the only way that leads opt ot disaster.
 Tt is a matter that concerns all the allies, not France alone, and the allies know very well what they ought to know. They have decided to help Ger many when their conditions are full filed Their demand is the restoration of order in Germany. The allies demand visible guarantees that Germany shall not fall out of one despotism into an other and they demand that the internal condition of Germany shall be placed in a position which shall forbid anarchy
 The ful1llment of these demands does not depend on the number of conflicting officials and least of all, on the armi- stice commission.
 Tt is the affair of a united and de- termined government"
 The remedy. according to the news paper, is to hurry forward the assem- bling of the national convention It does not consider it possible that the allies will break their word
 Germany must look to her own fate VI the newspaper says in conclusion. Tt is no use making appeals There is still time for the German people to win back all that they have lost in the war and that they cannot do without unity the respect of the world and their daily and energetic action is demanded"
