QU|CKEN|NC OF
SHIP BUILDING
NOW PROMISED
Shipping Board Holds Confer
ence With Labor Leaders
and Big Builders to End
That Program Be Fully Car
ried Out.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-A general
quickening of shipbuilding operations
on the Atlantic coast was promised
today at conference of builders and
labor leaders with officials of gov.
ernment departments. The meeting
was called by Chairman Hurley of
the shipping board to work out means
of co-ordinating the efforts of all hav-
ing TO do with the shipbuilding pro-
gram
The difficulty of obtaining suffi-
cient labor is the chief obstacle in
the way of speeding up tonnage pro-
duction. Through draft exemption for
shipyard workers the shipping board
hopes to overcome this difficulty in
large measure. At the same time it
will give consideration to other plans
for inducing trained workers in other
lines to enter lines to enter the en-
ployment of shipyards.
Will Cooperate
Builders at the conference agreed
with government officials that meas
ures should be taken to prevent yards
from hiring each others workers and
a general standardized wage system
was proposed as a means of accom-
plishing this. Shipping board officials
have suggested that legislation may
be asked to prevent the practice.
The general readjustment of con-
tracts for ships Communicated on the
ways by the government, it was said
after the conference, will be made
soon by the shipping board Some
builders, it is said, are losing money
on contracts Communicated, as me-
terial costs and workers wages have
risen sharply since the vessels were
taken over. The shipping board, it
was declared, will see that every
yerd is given a reasonable profit.
Labor and Materials
A committee of builders named to-
day will cooperate with the govern
ment in obtaining materials and in
dealing with the labor shortage. One
Vi Tie VIII oCA Nc
as an aid to the board, giving all his
time to the work The committee
comprises the following:
L. Ferguson of the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Drydock company
j. W. Powell. vice president of the
Bethlehem steel company and an Of
fetal OF the Fore River Shipbuildins
company: ]. Hand of William Cramp
& Sons company. and A. M. Neel of
the New York Shipbuilding company.
Urges Consideration.
Greater consideration of the wooden
shipbuilding industry was urged on
the shipping today by Senator Cham
berlain OF Oregon. Labor and ma
terials are available on the Pacific
coast, he declared, for twice the
amount of wooden ship construction
under way in that district. An addi-
tional half million tons of shipping
easily could be built, Senator Cham
berlain set forth, If the board would
take advantage of the men and ma
terials offered.

the utmost patriotism and desire TO
