UI1CLE SI MAY SHIPBUILDER IN More Than Two Million Tons of Shipping, Suitable For Carry ing Supplies to Our Allies, Are Being Built or Contracted For VESSELS suitable for carrying food, ammunition and other supplies to our allies in Europe, approximat ing more than 2,000,000 tons, are being built or have been contracted for to be built In the shipyards of the United States. Today the United States is do ing the greatest shipbuilding business hi Its history, and if the war continues for two or more years It may become the greatest shipbuilding nation In the world. '. ' . ' Including vessels built for American owners, foreign owners, undisclosed owners and builders' accounts, adapted for deep sea service, it is estimated that there are 644 in course of con struction or contracted for, with an es timated tonnage of 2,394,131. These figures are exclusive of ships under construction for the navy department, oil and molasses tankers, vessels con structed hv use on the great lakes and those under 500 tons. Of this amount of tonnage more than 300.000 tons already have been launch ed, about 70,000 tons are scheduled to be launched this spring, about 177,000 tons to be launched during the sum mer, about 210,000 tons launched next fall, more than 600,000 tons launched next winter and more than 000,000 tons launched and completed In 1918. Deep Sea Commerce. Of the vessels built for service on the great lakes, approximating 70,000 tons, a number of these could in an I emergency be used for deep sea com- merce.'! '. On Feb,0 9 the department of com- merce issued a report uuniu w number of vessels of all types of 800 tons and over. This was the last offi cial report on shipbuilding issued, and It is unlikely that any further official reports will be made while the coun- try is at war, The report showed that there were about 200 vessels suitable for deep sea commerce, approximating ' close to 1,000,000 tons, exclusive of Craft for the great lakes, navy department, oil and molasses tankers and vessels un der 500 tons, being built here or con tracted for. Since this time hundreds of new con tracts have been placed, shipyards have been enlarged, new shipyards are being built, and many plants are work Ine twenty-four hours a day to keep up with their contracts. The construc tion of new yards and the enlargement of old ones will involve the expenm ture of millions of dollars. $2,000,030 Plant. One of the largest of the new plants will be built for the Baltimore Dry dock and Shipbuilding company. The Plans call for the construction of one! The of the largest shipbuilding ana repair plants on the Atlantic coast. The com pany lias mi option on a site at Balti more. The new plant will cost more than $2,000,000 and will furnish em ployment to 2.000 additional men. On April 1 of this year there were in the United -States 152 shipyards, marine enjiiue and boiler shops and 238 .'repair ' plants, including drydocks and marine railways. Some Idea of what the shipbuilding? capacity of Great Britain is may be gleaned from the fact that at the be ginning of the war. exclusive of the plants in her colonies, she had 4"3 shipyards, marine engine and boiler shops, while her repair plants included 572 drydocks mid marine railways. The United Kingdom turned out 700.-000- tons in 101(t and . 050.1 KK). tons in. 1915. This year it-is estimated the amount "will reach I.'J.'O.IKX) tons. At the beginning of the present year there were. 40.! vessels, with a tonna.ee of 1.493,001 . building in the yards of the United States. This number was made up as follows: Freighters, 294; oil and molasses ': tankers. 70; passenger ami cargo vessels. 7; car floats and ferries. S; miscellaneous craft. 13- Orders For New Ships. Since the first of the year orders for new ships have swamped the builders. The Bethlehem Steel company furnish es an. illustration m mi. company in its various subsidiary yard j Is .building more than li. , vessels. j About sixty are under construction at i the Fore River yard and a similar j number at the Union Iron works, two; of its largest plants. The same conditions prevail amoir, the shipyards on the coast. The caso of the Hanlon Dry Dock and ShipbulM ing company of Oakland, Cal.. Is 'typi cal. On Jan. 1 its employees numlKrf l 350. It has so many contracts ror ve: sels now that it is enlarging its plair tn m-h nn ostent that !v June 1 it win have 2.500 men at work. On April 13 thirty -five shipbuilders called at the offices of the Federal Shii nlnir Board at Washington and signH contracts for a large numler of tlu 1,000 woolen vessels of S.000 tons eaoli which the United States government, under the direction of Major General George W.

American Merchant Marine. The Foundation company has receiv. ed a large x-on tract for the construction of the fleet of ships for the American merchant marine. Tbe company will begin work at once on the plant, as the contract with the government al lows onfy thirty days for the work. The building of wooden ships does not require an elaborute plant. Tractlcul ly all that 13 needed are the ways (a ship railway), housing for tbe tools and a power plant. Ten ways, each 100 feet wide, will be constructed, and there will be a space of sixty feet between the ways so that material may be easily ban died. The ways will be so constructed that the vessels, when the hulls are ac complished, will slide Into the Passaic river, which will be dredged to a suf ficient depth at this point to float them. Big: Lumber Mills. incidental to the building of the Goethals fleet of woodeu ships it was learned that the government Is cor nering the product of big lumber mills all over the country. It is understood that the federal authorities have requi sitioned 3,000,000,000 feet from the southern mills alone, principally Geor gia, Florida and Louisiana yellow pine. It is goliig to be extremely difficult, according to A. R. Smith, editor of the Marine News, to get a sufficient num hpr of shiD carpenters to build the fleet of wooden vessels as fast as the' government wants them turned out With the building of all steel ships and the lessened demand for wooden ones the big majority of ship carpen ters have had to look for other em ployment "There are a few hundred ship car penters still plying their trade along the coast of the New England states, in the southern gulf states and on the coast" said Mr. Smith. "These are mostly men who know no other busi ness and who were too old to turn to other lines of employment when steel ships superseded wooden ones. Unwilling; to Leave. "Most of these men were born and raised and have lived in one town all their lives, and I doubt if many of them would be willing, even ai me re quest of the government to leave the small shipyards for the big ones which will be established to build many of the fleet of wooden ships. "There are other old ship carpenters who have retired woo win oe ble 'm training ordinary carpenters to who have retired who win De invmim ship carpentry if the government can Induce them to go to these large plants."
