506,000 TO GET

November, 1910, and that 253, 400
more would be required by June,
1912. About the same number OF
additional workers would be need
ed to produce raw and processed
material for the shipyards.
The estimate included only work
ers needed for construction of new
ships financed from federal funds,
and did not cover those working in
repair service, or engaged in pro-
ducing ships for private enterprise,
or for the British government.
Nor does the estimates include
the number needed to build the 200
Emergency" merchant ships OF
$500 tons each which President
Roosevelt has recommended and
which Congress now is considering.
The department said that since
last June work had been started
on 81, 079, 900, 900 worth of ships and
that work still was in progress on
an additional $3.50, 900, 900 worth of
vessels started prior to that time.
These funds cover construction of
SAB naval and Maritime commits
sion vessels.
The Maritime commission, in an
annual report to Congress today,
said its ship construction program
was well ahead of schedule and
that the carrying power of the ma
tons merchant marine was SUI
perior to 1888 despite a decrease
in the number of vessels due to
scrapping of some old tonnage and
sales to foreign nations.
The increase in carrying capa-
city, the commission said, results
from the fact that the new ships
generally have a minimum speed
Of Is IL knots as compared with
an average Of 10 knots for older
vessels and thus can make more
trips. Another factor is increased
cubic capacity Of the new ships.
