-.
PHILADELPHIA, March —More
than one-third of the war vessels and
merchant ships called for by the pro
gram of the United States govern
ment are building in ship yards along
the Delaware River, according to iig
ures which have just been made public
with the permission of the Emergency I
Fleet Corporation. The tonnage con- j
traded for, according to government
officials, has transformed the Dela
waie \ alley into the greatest ship
biulding center in the world.
W. l>. Ferguson, a representative of
the Emergency Fleet Cororation, es
timates that an army of about 85,000 j
<hipworkers will be required to com

shipbuilding plants between Trenton
and Delaware City.
Work on 120 cargo-carriers at the
new government yard at Hog Island
is progressing and this plant is en- j
gaging to turn out 0,000,000 addition
al tons in 1918. More than 2,250,000
tons will he the Delaware River's first
fuota in the fleet which Uncle Sam
relics on to help win the war.
At the new shipyard at Bristol, Pa.,
forty ships are contracted for. Here
more than 5,000 men are at work and
it is expected that 10,000 more will bo
necessary to complete the vessels on
schedule.
Ten vessels are being constructed
:»t another new yard at (Yrnwella, ,)o.
The force there of 500 men will be in
creased to 2,000. At a well-known
Philadelphia shipbuilding plant more
than 60 ships are to he turned out.
Most of these are government craft
on which more than 5,000 men are
engaged. Another thousand is needed
In the big yard at Camden, N. J.,
across the river from Philadelphia,
7,200 men are building twenty*four i
ships. More workers are needed her
als*
Two yards at Gloucester, N\ J., arc
of about 3,000 men. Twice this num
ber of shipworkers is needed,
turning out sixteen ships with a force
Two large plants, one a new one, at
Chester, Pa., have contracted for
eighteen and twenty-six ships respect
ively. One plant has only 1700 men i
on the payroll and requires at least J
5000 more, according to the govern
ment figures. The other yard is em
ploying 2,000 men whereas, at le^st
5.000 are necessary to complete its
contracts.
The plant at Hog Island is now em
ploying about 10,000 workers and offi-1
cials there estimate that at least 32,- j
000 are needed. i
VVoik in one plant at Wilmington,
Del., is progressing on thirteen ships
on which 2800 men are employed.
This company is in the market for
another 1000 workers. At another
plant in that city eight ships are being
built by a force of 1,000 men and offi
cials require 1600 more.

government, is now being conducted
tin without the country to regis‘e»* all
men in the eighty-seven trades allied
with shipbuilding. Many of those
mechanics are now engaged in other
occupations and it is planned to trans
fer them to the seaboards without dis
turbing industry.
Labor difficulties and shortage of
steel and other materials, it is expect
ed will treble the original estimate of
the cost of the ships contracted for.
Recent investigation of the Delaware
River plants indicated tb.it most of
the vessels being built will be com
pleted in schedule time.
