That program, being financed by public works "man weeks" of work. this new setup, officials said, the ad ministrator expected to have a more mobile organization and one would push codes through at a much faster pace. In Informed sources It was said there was no intention of curtailing the number of deputies and more might be added in the drive for speed.

Added "Clancy of the Mounted" Taxi Boys Comedy Cartoon News 7HZHIH2 USISBELl By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE WASHTNGTON, Sept. 29. rP The 8238,000,000 naval construction program, now under way, will create an estimated 3,430,000 "man weeks" of work and will benefit more than 125 industries and mechanical trades which will be called upon to assist In the building of the 32 new warships.

No matter what the opinion of other countries may be, the government, it has Just been made known, intends to carry out the program as Naval officials figure that labor will get about 85 per cent of almost the quarter of a billion dollars In public works money to be expended in bringing the sea power of the United States nearer to London Treaty limits. Many Helped Indirectly Naval surveys Indicate that for every man put to work directly In shipyards four are put to work In allied Industries under a program of this kind and that virtually all the states from Alabama to Wyoming contribute two or more of the principal kinds of materials used In the construction of war vessels. Materials to be used In great quantities include steel, the principal item; lumber, rubber, cork, electrical equipment, metal fixtures, hardware, fittings and valves, brass, lead, zinc, paint, tiling, communication systems, rigging, navigation Instruments, bedding and linen. The construction program Is being launched at a time when Japan has a big lead over the United States and a substantial margin over Great Britain In the number of modern warships available for service, statistics compiled by naval experts here show. Japan Leads in Number of Ship Japan will have 164 ships under age at the end of 1933 as compared with 84 in Uncle Sam's navy and 134 flying the Union Jack of John Bull.

Great Britain and the United States, however, exceed Japan In total tonnage of ships under age because they have more capital ships (heavy battleships and battle cruisers). 3,000 Men Storm Carnegie Plant (Continued From Page One) Cleveland yesterday by Abraham Katovsky, manager of the Joint board of the Ladies Garment Workers' Union. The strike call affects about 300 workers In eight garment plants. Hemmed in by Strikers CLAIRTON, Sept. 29.

Eighteen hundred steel workers slept on improvised beds In the giant byproducts plant of the Carnegie Steel Company tonight while twice their number of belligerent coal miners Jeered and urged them to Join In a sympathetic strike from outside. Company officials ordered cots and mattresses hustled in during the day while the -miners were storming the entrance, making It unnecessary for their men to go home through the milling crowd of coal diggers outside. Only two workers left the mill at 4 this afternoon, regular hour for changing shifts, while the besieging army of between 3,000 and 4,000 yelled: "Join us." The miners, at grips with the mighty United States Steel Corporation's subsidiary, the H. C. Frick Coke Company, which refuses to recognize the United Mine Workers of America, brought their battle direct to the steel mills early this morning.

In a motley parade of trucks and cars, with their Insurgent leader, Martin F. Ryan, In the vanguard, their army began rolling Into Clalr-ton at dawn, swarming about entrances to the steel mill which already was closed and the by-products plant of the Carnegie Company, A. U. S. steel subsidiary.

Shave declared that the minimum wage set up as a requisite to obtaining NRA funds was not exorbitant. He said that It amounted to only $13.50 a week for this zone, and added that the purpose of the recovery program was to Increase power. Wilson, referring to Shave's remarks, said that "Just because you favor public schools you need not think that everyone does." He said that it ws organized labor which started the agitation that resulted In the establishment of public schools, and which has backed the free textbook movement. Predicted by Labor Reviewing the conditions prior to the Inauguration of President Roosevelt, and speaking of the wholesale bank failures which brought about the bank holiday Immediately after the Inauguration, Wilson said organized labor had for years been arguing with au government officials that unless an economic change came "the very thing that did happen was going to happen." "It Is Impossible to create treat farming communities, great industries, and great transportation systems, and then deny the fanner a fair price for bis product and labor a fair waee. and expect prosperity to continue," he declared.

Of the NRA fund waee scale stipu lations, he said the minimum wage of i.io an Hour required for skilled mechanics, together with the 30-hour maximum week required on government work, would not be an exorbitant wage, and would do the very thing increase buylntr power that the recovery act is designed to do. Be minimum unskilled waee thus required Is no lower than that required In most of the business codes under the recovery program, he said, adding that these wages represent about a 100 per cent increase to workers in many textile plants. The speaker referred Section 7-A of the recovery act which forbids em ployers to restrict employes from joining any trade association of their own choosing or to require them to Join a company union. This, he said, restores an innate right; and he urged the workers to organize fully, so that thev will have strong unions "when the emergency has passed to maintain their rights and to make greater advances." He declared, however, that If a man allows the boss to take away the right to own choosing "it is his own fault, and he hasn't got anything coming to him If the boss starves him tn death." Of the company unions, he said "they never take strike votes in company unions, and it Is the fear of the strike that makes the listen to the Just demands of labor." numan ngnts always require struggle to establish, he said. derlArfnr that religious freedom was won only after 300 years' war.

and that "it was oecause men and women suffered nri died that you have the right to vote next week on whether to retain an amendment that has been placed in the constitution. Wfc AT nnv In fh third great struggle that for Industrial freedom." Wilson said the constitution aHtv the national recovery act has ivn questioned, but that "in my opinion If the supreme court were to declare It unconstitutional the people would abolish the supreme court." until there Is a shortening of hmir and an Increase of wages commensurate with the Increased power of production the economic diffiriiltins will never be solved. Wilson declared. onau we use machinery for the interest of the few or for that t.h many?" he asked. "There Is no reason, wltii machinery, whv it should be necessary to work long hours." Unless both labor and capital realize the need of co-operation by both "no man can predict what is In store for the nation." Wilson said, "whether It be a Ferguson of the shipyard, or a Schwab of the steel mills, or an Atterbury of the railroads." At the London economic conference, he said the presiding officer ruled In the beginning that wages and hours of labor could not be discussed; and that he was "surprised" when the American delegation made a declaration based on reduction of hours and Increased wages.

"There Is much hope In America." he said; "but the world's statesmen are not ready to trade. They would swap a quarter for a $5 bill, but they are not ready for each of them to Iglve by of a is P. with 3 for the United States and 44 for Britain. This country has 248 destroyers over age. V.

Quoting the repeal act's provision providing for the handling of intoxicants "under provisions prohibiting the saloon," Barron asserted that "it any person tells you that repeal of state prohibition or repeal of the 18th amendment means that Virginia will return to the saloon, tell him pleas antly, courteously but frankly that he does not know what he is talking about."
