THE NAVAL SCHEME.
AMERICA READY TO STOP. ORDERS TO SLOW DOWN. PREVENTING DISLOCATION. By Telegraph.—Presj Aun—Copyright Received Nov. 29, 5.5 p.m. New York. Nov. 28. A telegram to the Philadelphia Public Ledger states Vice-Admiral Ide, ViceMinister for the Navy, informed a correspondent that he was preparing to face the problems raised by the possible adoption of Mr. C. E. Hughes’ proposals, and orders had been sent to the chief naval arsenals and dockyards to cease all repair work for the present and slow down all new construction. No hands at these yards have yet been paid off, but plans for such action were being considered. Vice-Admiral Ide explained that it was impossible to check immediately the work in private yards, owing to the danger of serious labor troubles arising if thousands of workmen were thrown out of employment, but plans were being formulated to liquidate contracts in such a way as to prevent labor disorders and financial disaster to the shipbuilding companies, which were entirely dependent on naval contracts.
