Hurley.

Ships will be built from now on
with special reference to probable
trade uses and trade lines SO as to
adapt them to particular uses and to
increase the speed of the turn-around

unnecessary delay in loading and un-
loading. This statement was issued
yesterday by Edward n. Hurley,
Chairman OF the United States Ship
ping Board.
This plan has been adopted after
two months re-survey of its con-
struction program and contracts by
the Shipping Board since IL was be-
lieved that the emergency war pres
sure which neeessitated the speediest
construction possible would soon end
Special reference will now be made
TO the economical cost of operation.
including motive power, cargo space,
spd speed.
In order TO supply our overseas
armies, feed Europe, send materials
for the reconstruction of the deyas-
tated territory SO that our friends
and our enemies may both become
self supporting and the burden of
feeding the world may be taken
from our shoulders, II Is felt that
there is continued need for American
owned tonnage.

Agreement, He Says,

Washington. Aug 24.-Fuel Admin
instratOr Garfield will not approve a
wage increase for coal miners, il was
strongly intimated after he had con-
ferred with officials of the United
Mine Workers.
He will, however. put a stop to the
practice of operators paying bonuses
to the miners, through which system
they competed among themselves for
mine labor
Doctor Garfield recalled TO the mine
workers that they had signed the So
called Washington wage agreement
under which they agreed that wages
shall net xhe. ipessaased- during the war.
anu IS Sdid 10 have tOiU them Chey
could not justify any demand for in
creased wages on the ground that the
operators were paying bonuses.
The first action of the administra-
ton toward stopping bonuses was TO
order ii reduction of twenty cents a
ton in the price of coal in the Cam
bridge and Hooking fields of Ohio. and
of five cents ton in all other fields
of that state except those in the eighth
district
The Ohio field officials of the admin
istration said, was the heart of the
bonus practice which led to dtSSatis-
faction among the miners. g.
