TO SPEED UP
 SHIP PRODUCTION
Lumbermen Promise More Liberal Shipments and Board Gives
 Increase in Price.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Southern pine lumber producers, at a conference here today with the shipping board of ficials, gave assurances that they will furnish ship timbers for the wood ship building program as fast as need ed by building concerns. The shipping board has threatend to take over and operate lumber mills unless timber was forthcoming in more liberal quant- ities. Delay in delivery of timber, it is declared, has seriously hampered wooden ship building operations along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
 Shipping board officials blame the builders, however, as well as the tim- Der producers. In experienced, con- structors in many instances, it is said, have laid down keels for too many ships instead of proceeding with the construction of few at a time. This is said to have made it hard for the lumber men to meet their require ments. On the other hand, the lumber producers, it is said, have shipped material to fill private contracts ahead of government orders because of higher prices paid. X
 To speed up productio nof the ships the shipping board is preparing to grant a slight increase in the price, now $S5 per 1000.
