nations program for top speed in
the gigantic task of turning out steel
ships was whipped into shape today
at a momentous conference between
leading Atlantic coast shipbuilders,
members Of the United States ship
ping board and high officials of the

livery of ships, quickly and in great
er numbers, even at the sacrifice Of
other considerations.
Problems Discussed.
Five big problems, from the view
point OF the shipbuilding interests,
We're discussed at length at today's
conference. These were: F'irst-Ad-
just and Standardization Of shipyard
wages on the Atlantic coast; second
proper ordering, priority and de
livery of shipbuilding materials:
third-coordination and cooperation
by the United states navy and the
United States shipping board with
the Atlantic steel yards; fourth
collection, distribution and regula-
ton OF labor for emergency ship
building and increasing its efficiency:
ffth-equitab bic policy for adjust
ment Of unfinished shipbuilding con
tracts to conserve the interests of the
shipbuilders and the shipping board.
