u. S. PLANS TO BID
/. ON SH|PYARD WORK

Fear of further disintegration of
the trained forces in the arsenals and
navy yards of the country, including
Washington navy yard, has set gov
ernmental machinery moving in high
gear today to save further reduc-
tions in personnel, and possibly to
take on more employees, it was
learned.
The proposal has been made that
the Shipping Board send all of its
ship repair work to the navy yards
and that the arsenals of the War
Department, as well as the navy
yards, shall be allowed TO bid on the
work of other departments which
ordinarily would go to outside firms.
1t has practically been determined
that this permission for the navy
yards and arsenals to bid on the work
of other departments will be allowed
1t was learned from an authoritative
source that the tentative draft of an
executive order had been drawn up
to carry into effect the proposal and
it is understood that 1t will be sub
mitted to President Harding within
a few days.
COngressnaen Push Order.
Several members of Congress are
pushing the order, as they as we'll
as those now giving the matter CON-
sideration, realize that 1t is one Of
the ways to relieve in some extent
the unemployment into which the
employees of navy yards and arsenals
have been thrown. :.
The carrying out of the plan pro-
posed would permit the War and
Navy departments to keep in the
yards and arsenals trained men, it
nomical and efficient move, especially
at this time when there is much un-
employment, to have these institu-
tions do much of the government
work.
There is much work which the
vate firms from time to time and the
government now has the facilities
for handling much OF it, it was
pointed out further, and the machin-
cry and trained men should be kept
intact for this purpose. In the event
ernment would have the nucleus of
a trained force ready for immediate
expansion. Its efficiency would be
constantly kept up and the morale
The Shipping Board is giving con-
sideration to the proposal to turn its
repair work over to the navy yards
of the country. and 1t is understood
that to some extent this has been
done.
But it Is the plan to have the navy
yards designated to perform all Of
the work. This will return to work
thousands of men who have been
thrown out Of employment from these
yards on account of the reduced naval
appropriations.
In the case Of the arsenals, 1t is
proposed to permit them to bid on
all classes Of government work for
which they are fitted to perform.
They are required now to manufac-
ture for the needs Of the War De-
partment. 1t. is understood that the
proposal has been we'll received at

ASKED IN HOUSE

Congressional investigation Of the

proposed In a resolution introduced
today bysRepyesentative Roy c. Fitz-
gerald. republican, of Ohio. HMADsr
of the House District committees. ~ -
The fact that the United States has
invited the leading men of many coun-
tries to come to Washington for the
conference on Limitation Of arma-
ments has prompted Mr.. Fitzgerald
to introduce his resolution, he ex-
planned. He believes that the utmost
protection and safeguards should be
drawn around these distinguished for
eign visitors.
Representative Fitzgerald says he
intends to press for a hearing before
the rules committee.
The resolution asks that a special
committee of five members Of the
House be appointed by the Speaker
and authorized and directed to fnves-
tigate the conditions Of the District
police department. 1t says that the
cause for the extraordinary and un-
precedented number of serious crimes
committed in the city OF Washing
ton and the reason why the National
Capitol is alleged to be the chief
center of crime in tho country should
be reported to the House with recon-
mendations. The resolution would
give this committee full power to
send for persons. books and papers
relative to the proposed investiga-
ton.
NOTHING TO FEAR. IS VIEW.

ment has anything to fear from an

oyster, when informed that a resolu-
tion had been offered in the House
calling for such an inquiry.
The Commissioner said the force is
now recruited to the full strength
allowed by the appropriation and in
his opinion is doing good work. He
said. however, he believes the de-
partment should have at least 100
additional men.
