Hiram and mother and the mare were

Marshal Won Hindenburg is shunt-

purpose behind such a plan as

SPEEDING
UP SHIP
BUILDING

WASHINGTON, May 21.-To
speed up construction of "a COM
bination mine sweepers and sea-
going tugs, Secretary Daniels to-
day conferred with a delegation of
IL shipbuilders representing near
ly all of the shipbuilding yards of
the country.
He assured the builders that
the government would cooperate
with them in procuring labor and
material. Already the govern
ment has arranged to furnish GER
tain plates and their steel needed
by expediting shipment.
The new mine sweepers will be
of 1000 tons. They are to be
sturdy, powerful boats.
After their conference with
Daniels, the shipbuilders met Ad-
minal Griffin, with whom they
went over In greater detail the
plans for construction Of the ships.
At a later conference with Daniels
the method of payment for the new
fleet was talked over. The gov
eminent favors payment on a
profit percentage basis.
Daniels said the biggest prob
lem is procuring skilled labor suf-
ficient to meet the demands of
the heavy program.
