GOVERNMENT NOT TO /
take WOODEN SHIPS
NORTHWEST sHIPBUILDERS SO
ADVISED By NEW FED
ERAL BOARD.

Auxiliary powered sailing vessels
and motorships, as we'll as wood Ahip
building plants will not be conman-
deered by the United States shipping
board. according to assurances given
the representatives of Puget Sound
plants attending a cQnference With
the shipping board at Washington.
When the shipbuilders Of thfa Sec
tion were infoymed Of the decision,
they were unanimous in declaring
that this industry would shortly ex-
perience momentous impetus. This
means that none of the vessels now
being built for private owners In the
two Olympia yards will be comman-
deered by the government as ct 'hrst
thought. -.
Practically every one of the wood
en- shipyards of the Northwest has
contracts which have
been held in allegiance owing to the
uncertainty of the shipping boards
attitude. The decision of the board
undoubtedly means that these con-
tracts can now be closed, And the
work Of constructing the vessels COM
menced Immediately.
"If the government will settle the
lumber controversy so that deliveries
in needed quantities can be assured,
Puget Sound will experience one Of
the greatest shipbuilding booms ever
dreamed Of" declared Joseph A
Sloan Of the Sloan Shipyards. Corpo
ration Of this city when informed OF
the news from Washington.
Washington dispatches this week
also say the shipping board told. Sen
ator McNary Of Oregon that no more
contracts will be let by the shipping
board for wooden ships on the Pacific
coast until contractors can furnish
absolute guarantees that they have
ample supply Of labor and material.
The senator was told that while the
board will examine contracts, 1t will
not approve until the labor situation
clears up, and an individual yard
desiring to 60 ahead, must make an
extraordinary showing Of its ability
to hold its labor and get its material
before it will receive any considers.
