BOARD TAKES
23 FINISHED
SHIPS IN WEEK
Manufacture Of Vessels
Now in Full Swing,
Says Hurley.

The United States l. entering upon
an era Of the manufacture Of ships.
Other nations have built ships. and
have become great shipbuilding ma
tions, but the United States is the
first to enter upon the manufacture
of ships-turninS them out In quanti-
ties like any other article OF trade or
commerce.
Chairman Edward N. Hurley made.
this distinction yesterday in dis
cussing the latest statistics of ship
production complied by the Shipping
Board for the week ending July 4. He
said that with the enormous facilities,
the unlimited resources and the army
Of labor that is being trained in the
production Of ships. the United States
viii manufacture ships to meet the
commercial needs Of the world.
127.771 Desdweieht Tons.
Fourteen requisitioned steel vessels
with deadweight tonnage of 1850;
five contract steel steamships OF a.
81 deadweight tons, and four wood
ships aggregating 1850 deadweight
tons were completed and accepted
during the week ending July 4. This
shows a total Of twenty-three ships
actually delivered during that week
with a combined total of IL, III dead
weight tons, an average of 3s ships
a day for each working day of the
week and an average Of ao,4d dead
weight tons per day.
It was stated at the Shipping Boar6
that II the -shipyards can maintain
this pace throughout the 151 working
days that remain OF this year. count
ing from July 5, the output during
the Isl working days will be 57sS
ships with an aggregate tonnage Of
3.0s9. .736
The number of vessels already
completed and delivered Is 22s with
an aggregate Of 1,i15.022 tons. OF
this number 21s vessels OF 1884,
.42s tonnage are in actual service.
Wood Ships Advancing.
The wood ship program. which Is
just beginning to come through"
after trying delays due to many
causes. will supply all the wood
ships that may be required without
any further increase in yard ia
,cilities. 1t has been demonstrated
that under improved conditions of
construction each way in the yards
building wood ships will turn out
three ships a year instead OF two
as first believed. There Is no policy
of curtailment in the production of
wood ships. On the contrary there
Is expansion through the improved
facilitits of the yards NOW operat-
ig or under construction and each
way will be kept constantly busy as
long as the demand for wood ships
to meet the emergency require
ments due to war conditions con-
tinues.
Progress also is being made in the
building of ships intended for army
transports and those designed es-
pecially for troopships. Deliveries
will begin at an early date and
these vessels will be in actual serv-
ice in the transport of troops to
France this fall, and when the pro-
gram is completed next year, the
army will have sufficient ships to
meet its need for troops without
making use of the great German ships
taken over and now flying the
American flag, or the passenger
ships and transports of any other
nation.
