By Associated Press.
Washington, Nov. 21.—The shipping
board is now imposing such restrictions
on shipbuilders and make such can-
cellations of contracts as will bring
the shipbuilding industry back to a
normal basis, Charles Piez, vice presi-
Cent of the emergency fleet corpora-
tion, announced in reply to Senator
Harding’s resolution calling for a state-
ment of the shipbuilding program.
Mr. Piez said that the board early in
September decided on a change in its
program which would bring about a
considerable reduction in expenditures.
The board’s aim now, he said, is to pro-
duce ships with regard to economy in
construction rather than speed in de-
livery, ' - -

Austin, Tex., Nov. 23.—The fifth bien-
nial report of the bureau of labor sta-
tistics, covering 1917-1918, which was
handed to Gov. Hobby today, shows a
total expenditure’ of $21,625, as com-
pared to$20,775 for the two preceding
years.
The report shows sixty-nine prosecu-
tions .of violations of labor laws up to
Sept. 1, 1918, but it is explained that
prosecutions have been; preceded by
warnings that in most cases were suffi-
cient to correct the evils. Thirty-three
convictions were secured in the prose-
cutions and nine cases are pending. Ap-
proximately two thousand complaints
have been received by the department.
The commissioner makes a number of
recommendations for improvement of
labor laws, especially those pertaining
to women and children. The commis-
sioner also says that his department is
powerless to enforce the existing laws
in many localities because local politi-
cal influence gives immunity from
prosecution to the violators.

The schooner F. S. Anderson, which
has been on the dike for the past week
undergoing some minor repairs, is now
ready for sea and the clearance papers
have already been issued at the customs
house. She will probably sail within

Regarding the shipment of Christmas
packages to the expeditionary forees,
General March said the steamer Man-
churia sailed from Hoboken yesterday
with 16,000 sacks containing 565,000
packages. In addition to the 2,000,000
packages which the army will handle,
authority has been given the Red Cross
to send from 50,000 to 60,000 more for
men who do not receive the packages
sent to them or who have no one at
home to remember them.
General March disclosed that there
are in France thirteen American tank
battalions equipped with the French
light type of tank and four training-
companies equipped with the British
type. These arc among the units which
can be spared at an early date. They
include the 301, 302, 303, 306, 325, 326,

A telegram received by E. A. Peden,
federal food administrator for Texas,
and sent to James A. Boddeker, county
food administrator, states that the rul-
ing on the serving of two ounces of
bread per person in public eating places
will not be cancelled. The telegram in
full is:
“No substitutes need be used in bread
and other bakery products. There must
be no relaxation on the quantities of
bread served as are indicated in Gen-
eral Order No. 1. General Orders No.
2 and No. 3 are still effective. There
is more urgent need of general conser-
vation for all foodstuffs than ever. We
ask your co-operation. Two ounce
formerly applicable to Victory bread
now applies to straight wheat bread."
Posters bearing the words “Don’t
stop saving food” have been received
by Mr. Boddeker from John Regan,
director of education,, who has request-
ed him to have them widely distrib-
uted. J. E. Howard, city bill poster,
has volunteered his services, as he has
in all the other work of distributing
posters for the food administration
here.
Mr. Boddeker said this morning that
he will attend the conference to be held
in Houston Monday, and therefore will
not be in his office.
