u. S. May Force End
Of Shipyard Strike

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Strikes in
private shipyards, which threaten seri-
Gus delay TO the naval and merchant
shipbuilding programmes, have been
brought to the personal attention Of
President Wilson, and action forcing
the unions and employers to reach a
settlement is under consideration.
The most serious strikes are at the
private yards in the New York district,
many of which have government con-
tracts. The Navy Department is be-
ing embarrassed by the unwillingness
of the unions and employers to reach a
compromise.
Conciliators of the Department OF
Labor have been pleading in vain with
the yard owners and labor leaders at
the solicitation Of the Navy Depart
ment and Shipping Board. There are
approximatel 10000 men out. The
work which they have refused to COM
plete is badly needed by the navy.
For military reasons IL is impossible
to specify the nature Of the repair and
construction work which the depart
ment is anxious to have completed in
the yards involved in the strike, but
il may be stated that il Is of an ex-
tremely important character. Further
delay may cause the government much
concern in carrying out the Admins.
tration's war policy.

Argentina Breaks
OFF U-Boat Talks

BUENOS AYRES, Aug. 5.-Dissatis-
fed with the progress of negotiations
with Germany growing out Of the sink
ing of the Argentine steamer Toro, the
Argentine government has broken of
the discussions that were being con-
Quoted with the German Minister here
and has sent final categorical note to
Berlin requiring a clear and final reply
to the Argentine demands within a res.
sonable time. The reply is expected
within eight days. Meantime It will be
decided il relations with Germany shall
be broken if the response from the
German Foreign Office is negative.
The Foreign Minister and the Ger
man Minister here had been discussing
for the last few days the question Of
the sinking of the Toro. The reply
from Germany had led Argentina TO be-
lieve that Germany was disposed to
agree not to sink any more Argentine
vessels, even in the war zone. When it
came to a discussion of the details
however, it began to appear that when
it came to the final point Germany was
not willing to give complete satisfac-
tion and pledge herself to respect Ar
gentine vessels in the future.

Board May Order
More Wooden Ships
New Officials Considering
Eighty Additional Lum-
Der Contracts

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The Ship
ping Board is considering the negotla-
ton Of so additional lumber contracts
for wooden ships over the number
planned in the original Denman con-
struction programme. W. ]. Haynan,
a prominent lumber dealer Of Hatties-
Vile, Miss, acting as an agent Of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, is now
making a survey of the Southern pine
stocks held in the South with view
to placing these additional contracts.
The original wooden ship programme
contemplated filling lumber schedules
in the South for 100 contracts. Until
recently the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration was able to negotiate only
81 of these contracts. However. at the
conference of Southern lumbermen
with officials OF the Shipping Board
and the Council of National Defence
here last week, arrangements were
completed not on ly for the original
100 contracts, but for 9 additional ones.
The Shipping Board was further ad-
vised that by reaching some OF me
smaller Southern lumber producers
not represented at the conference lum-
Der could be secured for much larger
programme. As a result, Mr.. Haynan
Is now attempting TO line up these
smaller producers to supply the gov
ernment. -.
1t is understood that modification OF
the original lumber specifications will
be permitted in some cases to allow
the smaller mills to saw out rough
lumber TO be later shaped into ship
lumber at the larger establishments.
