Bralnbrldge Colby, of the Shipping
Board, is planning to visit the impor
tant shipyards of the Pacific Coast
in company with Charles M. Schwab
during July. The itnerary of the
party has not yet been completed, fur
ther than an agreement by Mr. Colby
to be at San Francisco on July 4.
From there he will go to the Pacific
Northwest Both Mr. Schwab and Mr.
Colby, and possible Vice-President
Piez, of the Fleet Corporation, intend
to familiarize themselves not only
with the work in progress at Pacific
Coast yards, but to make a study of
conditions at the yards, conditions of
labor, supply of material, etc., and to
gather first-hand information which
will tend to expedlate and co-ordinate
the carrying out of the shipbuilding
rrogram of the Government
"We are going to the
Pacific
Coast," said Mr. Colby, "to hyphenate,
as you might say, the distant Pacific
Coast with shipbuilding efforts being
made in other parts of the country.
We had planned going to the Coast
much earlier, but other business in
tervened. "What we want now is ships; we
want results. Th emergency must be
met When the war is over will be
ample time to take up the liquor ques
tion in shipyards. I would not advo
cate the use of liquor in dry terri
tory any more than I would advocate
prohibition in wet territory. It is my
desire simply to leave wet and dry
conditions as they are among ship
yard workers, and not inject a side
issue which will rt-nlt in discussion
and discontent, and thereby slow
down work."

this summer to enable them to pass
the entrance examination to colloge
this fall, and by so doing get their
degree before they are of draft age.
We are pleased to note that Alon Wat
son Shewman is patriotic enough to
be willing to study during the hot
weather, and left Monday morning to
attend the summer session at Alle
ghany College, Meadvllle. Pr."
