Hundreds Crowd Gates EX-
pectantly Awaiting Open
ing Today.
SHIPS ARE DELAYED
Plan: Takes Aspect of Busy Scene it
Once Presented-UnavOidable De-
lay in Opening-Other Concerns to
Get Ready.

Hundreds Of employment seeking
AleXandrians and others waited anX-
iously at the gate Of the Virginia
Shipbuilding Corporations plant this
mornikg and were down-heartened as
the announcement was made by the
Western Marine Salvage Company
that. due TO some difficulties, the
ships which we're scheduled to arrive
Yesterday, would not be IN until the
latter part of the week.
No announcement has yet been made
as TO thsa time operations will active
lv begin, but it is generally conceded
that the offices will offer employment:
shortly after the first of the ships
arrive.
The big plant, which has been idle
for the past two years, this morning
presented a scene that gave promise
of resumption of the bustling actlv-
ity that prevailed there during the
war DAYS. The Trent Amalgam COM
pany running full speed and the nev
battery concern that is 20 occupy the
commissionary Of the plant IN add
tion TO the work of diSmantling the
226 wooden ships, will undoubtedly
furnish employment to good many
of those who this morning were
waiting.
No representative of the salvage
company was seen at the yards this
r.orning. but Mr.. Barde, representa-
tive. who is in Washington, this morn
inc indicated that the ships would
he in this city before the week was
over and that employment would be
furnished few in the beginning ana
that the force would be increased as
more ships came in and as the plant
was fitted for the work that Is to DC
done. .,.
The townspeople are anXiously
awaiting when the siren whistle or
the ship yard shall again call large
rumber of men back TO work and the
hustle and hustle of other days re-
M reason for the delay in the ar
rival of the ships was given, hut as
those ships were to be towed rather
tbap travel under their own steam II
;s probable that tug facilities coulc
not be had. -,
II is understood tnat the ships VIII
be wrecked and that every SaIaoIe
orticle i'm the equipment will be strip
ned from the hull and shipped TO var
ious parts OF the country. AIeXan-
dria was selected as the scene of this
work ON account Of its uurivaled ship
ming facilities as well as Tor the ideal
plant for the carrying ON of this work
which is provide ~ the idle plant.
The Trent company, which has been
in operation for nearly n year, has
doubled its original capacity and IS
now running at top speed. three shifts
each day. 49,.
No definite word has been had from
the battery company, but 1t is believed
that they will soon make the aItera-
t:crs necessary i'm the building so
That they may become firmly estab-
lshed in Alexandra before the WIN
t,r ScaS0r sets i'm.

Foreign Conditions Improve

Conditions have improved to such
an extent, however, in England
France. Germany, Sweden, Norway
and other Northern European nations
that there is no particular incentive
for the people to come to this country
because of labor troubles here. On
the other hand, Italy and Czeehoslova-
iia among other Southern European
nations have nearly exhausted the
quotas allotted to them for this per-
iod of the year. -.
While there is much agitation
among large corporations and firms
which employ large number Of la
borers for additional quotas OF lmmI-
grants each year, government officials
are of the opinion that the present
laws will not be modified for several
years. They think majority OF the
people of this country are opposed TO
any modification of the restrictive
features of the law.
