ARE TO REDUCE
SHIPYARDFORCE
in Numbers, However
Is Merely to Gain Greater
Production Efficiency

Within a few weeks there win be
a meteriaI reduction in the working
force at the shipyard. it is announced,
the cut to be gradual and to take in
approximately LOO men. At the
present time the force numbers $500
and it viii be cut to about 1900. The
reduction in numbers. however, does
not mean that the yard is going out or
business but rather that the manage
ment is seeking to increase its eff
cheney
There is a countrywide move TO
cut the number of men employed in
industrial plants TO release men for
production in other Hnes@and so to in
crease the total production Of the
nation. The farms are expected to
make a marked gain in this way.
During the war it was necessary that
shipyards and other structural indus
tries be maintained at the top OF
production regardless of expense and
as a result it was frequent that two
men were assigned TO job which one
man could do. 1t is said the average
ratio at the Pensacola yard has been
I-2 men to each mans job.
Referring 10 the proposed cut high
official of the plant said yesterday that
no alarm need be felt because the yard
would continue to produce ships. He
added that every man in the plant who
is essential to the job he is holding
will be retained and the way for a
man TO determine whether he is on
the permanent list or not is to ask
himself if he is really holding down a
job or is just helping some better man
TO hold it down.

for Dealing With Enemy

Paris. Jan. 23.-Premier Millerand.
and members of his cabinet are today
considering the attitude of the cham
Der of deputies which. although it has
voted confidence in the government.
has shown a certain degree of cold
ness to the new regime. There is no
indication the cabinet will resign as
a result of yesterdays turbulent ses-
sion in the chamber but there are many
who believe Jules Steeg, minister of
the interior about whom the storm
centered, may surrender his portfolio
rather than embarrass the premier
in the opening days of his administra-
tion.
NJ Millerand's victory upon demand
ing a vote of confidence, while it
showed a majority of 249, was con-
sidered really to be defeat as more
than 800 members Of the chamber re-
fused to participate in the balloting
Parliamentary tradition looks upon a
refusal to vote on a question of con-
fidence as a ballot against the govern

Objection to NJ. Steeg as a member
of the ministry was voiced by Deputy
Leon Baudet, who declared the new
minister of the interior was IAN ac-
complice," of Louis ]. MaIvy, banished
after conviction of having carried on
dealings with the enemy. He announced
he would interpellate the government
on this point. His attack caused
great disorder in the chamber and for
a time it seemed the Millerand cab
met would be forced out of office.

MUSCLE SHOALS
INQUIRY ENDS
House Committee Will Have
Witnesses Submit Affidavits
on Reckless Expenditures

Florence, Alabama, Jan. o. After
hearing a mass Of testimony relating
TO the cost-plus method of building the
big Muscle Shoals nitrate plant
Chairman Graham of the House War
Expenditures Committee which ended
its hearings here today. declared he
was "surfeited and disgusted, with
tales of reckless expenditure
SO many witnesses were waiting to
be heard that the committee decided
to end its sessions and have those un-
able TO go on the stand tell in affi-
davits what they know about waste.
extravaganza and labor Stacking
Enough evidence on this phase of the
inquiry has been taken to convince the
committee, members said, that it never
would do to build a war plant accord
ing to that system again The i'm
mediate problem relates to disposition
of government properties, costing up
wards of one hundred million dollars
and now idle
The committee has discussed this
informally, but Chairman Graham said
today he was not ready to offer sug-
gestions. Members feel that as moth
ing substantial is to be gained by pa
rading the cost and construction skele-
tons they might serve more useful
purpose by trying to advise congress
what to do with the plants.
AS TO waste and extravaganza in
building. Representative Garrett, demo-
crat of Tennessee ended a long dis
cussion by witnesses on thau subject
yesterday with the reminder that
everybody knew it. but that nobody
attempted to deny or condone it.

without difficulty its neutrality to the
end. 1t finds itself face to face with
facts of the war in position differ

suspicion of wishing to cover with its
sovereign right and its moral authori-
