CONCRETE SHIPS
 LESS EFFICIENT Piez Says Steel Vessels 15 Per Cent. More Efficient Than Those of Concrete

Washington, August H. Enlargemen,
 of the concrete ship construction pro
 gramme could be made only at the ex
 pense of the output of steel and wood
 ships, Charles Piez, vice president of the
 emergency fleet corporation, said today
 in statement replying to critics who
 have taken the corporation to task for It's failure to take advantage of what they term the full possibilities of concrete construction.
 Forty per cent of the work of buildins a ship, MT. Piez said, is represented in the making of machinery and other equipment, which can be done only ny highly skilled artisans, of whom there 1 is shortage Hull construction now IS proceeding more rapidly than is the pro-
 duction of motive power, and the build. I ing of additional hulls. he, added would add not single ship to the merchant fleet.
 1 "our output of ships is measured by l the number of vessels we can equir | rather thar the number of hulls we can | launch" said MT. Piez. As carrier, tue steel ship is admittedly from 15 to 20 per l cent more efficient than wooden or con crete ship of Imilar tonnage. The ener- gency fleet corporation has, therefore. been wise in concentrating it's efforts on | the construction of steel tonnage ana treating the wood and concrete ships as | purely emergency agencies

LABOR SHORTAGE IS
 MOST PRONOUNCED

Washington, August 11--Acute shocs- age of labor despite high wages is the subject of the greatest complaint in reports on business conditions from all federal reserve districts made pub : lie today by the federal reserve board. Scarcity of workmen now seems moro pronounced in New England.
 Workmen with increased wages are spending more than ever for clothing. food and other materials, the reports indicate, but this increase apparently is more than enumerated by the grow ing economies of the millions of per- sons making fixed salaries. In the ag- gregate. retail business reports 8 stronger tendency toward the purchase of strict essentials.
 Business observers in most districts express fears over the prospects of a fuel shortage next winter.
