Use Of 35% Less Fuel
Makes u. ). Warships
Supreme, Navy Says
Revolutionary System
Of Propulsion Revealed
As Secret Weapon
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
The Navy last night revealed
one of Americas secret weapons
our warships can go farther
and hit harder because they con-
sumo up to 35 per cent less fuel
than the ships of any other navy
Development of a revolutionary
system of propelling American war
ships has given them "the edge
over foreign vessels that many times
means the difference between defeat
and victory" the Navy said.
This was the first official dis
closure of progress made on the
fleets introduction Of high pressure
nlgh-temperature steam equipment
Not only has the system been used
on destroyers beginning about 1884,
but it also has since been incor-
porated in the Nations great new
battleships, among them the North
Carolina and Washington.
Revolution in Engineering.
Naval authorities said adoption of
high pressure. high temperature
steam methods marked revolution
IN marine engineering which was
made possible only by the applica-
ton of American inventive genius
and industrial resources to the
needs of naval construction.
1t has been known for years that
proposed use of this advanced ma
chinery and its evolution for en-
ployment in naval vessels had fur
nlshed one of the great controversies
IN the Navy. Some officers argued
that only by adoption of the new
method could America s feet be kept
entirely modern. More conservative
officers disputed the ideas practi-
cability
The greatest result is the reduc-
ton in fuel requirement to produce
the same amount of power. This
has resulted, in turn, in giving the
Warshlps increased range of Is to
IS per cent, of extending the amount
OF time which the ships can remain
on station and of simplifying the
supply problem.
The basic high pressure, high
temperature principles were worked
out by American engineers for land
installations such as electric power
plants. Those plants normally pro-
duce heat from coal. Warships gen.
orally use oil for fuel.
Argument Within Navy.
In 1888, when expansion of the
Navy started, the engineering firm
OF Gibbs and Cox, the Navy related
was brought into the work of fit
ting this new equipment into ma
rlne design. In the Mahan class of
destroyers it was decided to use the
steam at 400 pounds in 100 degrees
fahrenheit. The machinery was so
radical as to be revolutionary and
within the Navy at that time it was
q common argument as to whether
1t would work or wreck the ship.
Along with the high speed tur-
olnes the Navy had to work out a
new type reduction gear to reduce
the revolutions before they reached
the propellers, and also had to de-
velop a feed water system to re-
move oxygen from the water which
furnished the high temperature
steam. Similarly super heat
boilers had to be developed.
In 1884, the Navy began work
on the destroyer Somers, which be-
came the first vessel to use full DO
tentialities of the propulsion. The
Somers took pressure of 800
pounds and temperature of $50
degrees.

Coal Strike Threat
Fades as |ckes Saws
Fines May Be Waived
One Group Of Alabama
Miners Back, Others
Indicate Return
BY the Associated Press.

! NAA~ NA1SN>ANNN>e
The threat of new coal strike
largely disappeared yesterday
after the miners received word
of Fuel Administrator Ickes' an
nouncement that the fines he
said they we're liable to for the
June is work stoppage might be
waived by mutual agreement"
with the operators.
One group of Alabama miners,
who struck in protest after Mr..
1ckes' first announcement that the
fines would be levied. went back to
work. Other striking groups in
dicated they would return, alto
gether 615 had walked out in Ala
bama.
At United Mine Workers head
quarters here. a spokesman said he
believed the matter was ended. Mr.
Ickes' statement as Federal boss of
the mines that the fines could be
rescinded, the UNIV spokesman said,
appeared to have opened the way for
the operators simply to put into pay
envelopes the money which would
be deducted if fines were levied.
The Central Pennsylvania Coal
Producers Association said operators
affiliated with it had agreed to re-
fund any fines already deducted and
to rescind orders for further de-
ductions if Mr. Ickes raised no OBJ
jections.
The UNIV spokesman said union
headquarters was taking no action.
He explained that it was without
jurisdiction since the mining con-
tracts are signed separately by each
UMY district.
In expressing the opinion that
the fines would be forgotten, he
commented that umpires had held
the miners were justified in strik-
ing if the operators illegally with
hold fines"
The UNIV contends the working
contracts were imperative at the
time of the walkout, hence the min
ers cannot legally be fined Mr.. Ickes,
IN saying Thursday that fines would
be levied, contended the contracts
had been extended indefinitely by
the War Labor Board. His an
nouncement the fines might be
waived was made Friday night.
Most of the contracts provide a
penalty Of 81 day for an absence
from work without good cause, but
in some districts the penalty is So.
Work stoppage in the mines cut
bituminous coal production to 3.050.-
600 tons the week ending June 5
compared with production of H.
100000 tons the week before, Mr..
1ckes announced. Anthracite pro-
duction was cut to $4,000 tons for
the same week compared with a
previous weeks output of 1,352,OO0
tons.
In all, work stoppages since April
l have resulted in losses of H.
350000 tons of bituminous coal and
100000 tons of anthracite, Mr.. Ickes
added

destroyer Dahlgren was re-engined
and reboilered and now carries steam
at 300 pounds pressure and 925 de-
grees in its main engines. an advance
which is said to produce a further
improvement of 10 per cent in fuel
economy.
While nothing has been done
with this design in the past four
years" the Navy said, "it is un-
derstood that the Bureau of Ships
will follow up this design in the
near future. as the material situa-
ton permits "
Between the work on the Somers
and that on the Dahlgren the Navy
came to general acceptance of the
practicability of high pressure, high
temperature steam. About 1888 it
became standard propulsion for
surface combat vessels.

Approves. Job Chanqs
For 441 in Weeks
Majority Of Workers
Returned to Old Posts
For Consultation
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

OF the 1,43O workers who
sought statements of availability
from the United States Employ
ment Service under the Districts
stabilization plan to June /, only
80 per cent completed the routine
and were allowed to change Jobs
by the USES, it was reported yes.
terday.
In approximately 10 per cent O..
the cases, the workers, on returning
to talk things over with their en-
ployers, were either given statements
of availability by them or decided
to go back to their old jobs.
First figures issued on how the
stabilization plan is working here to
halt Job shopping" indicated that
most of the workers who actually
filed petitions for statements allow
ing them to change jobs had their
requests granted.
AL Requests Granted.
K. Vernon Banta. director of the
local USES, explained that when the
workers came to the USES for
statements, they were sent back to
their old employers to see if they
could get a statement from the en-
ployers or would reconsider their
decision to change jobs.
OF the l .430 who applied to USES
478 workers returned to the en-
ployment office with the report
that the employer refused to give
statement and going back to the
old job was out of the question.
OF these AL requests for state
ments were granted by the Review
Committee which makes the de-
clslon in each case. In addition,
81 workers who came here from
other areas have requested state
ments and these are now being
acted on, Mr.. Banta said.
Banta Defines Policy.
Mr.. Banta gave these reasons
why the USES issued statements
OF availability:
In eight cases, the employer had
discharged the worker and refused
to give statement.
In 222 cases. the workers had been
laid of and the employer either re-
fused to give a statement or was not
available. This was particularly true
on construction jobs where the con-
tract had been completed and the
employer had left the city.
In nine cases, the workers skills
were not being used to full advan-
tage in the war effort.
In 88 cases, compelling personal
reasons entered the picture. These
were hardship cases. sickness in the
family. the desire of wife to join
her husband elsewhere and similar
personal reasons.
Statements Denied 81.
In II cases, the review committee
decided "the prosecution of the war
should be facilitated" by granting
a statement. Mr.. Banta explained
this might be the case where a
worker was needed more on one Job
than on another although his skills
would be utilized equally on both
jobs.
OF the 81 workers whose requests
for statements we're denied, eight
have appealed to the Labor Manage
ment Committee. In all cases, the
Review Committee was sustained
and the workers were not granted
statements, Mr.. Banta reported.
The Districts stabilization plan,
last to go in effect in a critical
labor shortage area, went into opera
ttion on May Is. Under the plan,
workers in essential activities can
not change jobs without getting a
statement of availability from their
former emDlOVer or the Uses
