Mr.. Hurley PUTS SHIP
NEEDSAT HIGH. FIGURE
More Than 100000 Tons Re
quired for Commerce and Million
Men Wanted for Service.

America Is not at the end Of her
shipbuilding requirements. but only
at the beginning. Chairman Hurley Of
the United States Shipping Board
said before leaving for Europe yes
terday. Approximately 10000. 900 dead
weight tons will be needed to meet
normal demands. and to satisfy what
all business men believe will be the
necessities Of the future that figure
must be largely exceeded.
Mr.. Hurley declared he felt sure
that force of not less than 100000
men would be employed on the Ameri-
can merchant marine In the not far
distant future. Already $4,000 men
are employed In American shipyards,
and a quarter Of a million more in
trades associated with shipbuilding
enterprise.
America, Mr.. Hurley said, now has
1889 vessels Of $500 tons and over,
aggregatins more than 100000 tons.
but this. though 5,500,000 tons in ex-
cess of the shipping afloat in 1914, is
Insignificant compared with the needs
of the nation.
Referring to the work Of the men
in the shipyards, Mr.. Hurley said.
though 1t was magnificent, the force
must be greatly augmented If the re-
QufrementS OF the nation are to be
met

BUILDING BAN LIFT
T0FREEPR0jEcTS.
Important Operations Soon
Will Be Under Way,
Is Belief.

Now that the War Industries Board
has raised some Of Its war time
restrictions on construction work
throughout the country It Is expected
q number Of important operations
which have been held up in the Dis
trict will be gotten under way.
Regional advisers from various Sec
tions of the country were called into
conference here this week for the
purpose of presenting reports show
Ing the exact status of the non-war
building situation, according to the
Dow Service Daily Building Reports
Compilations of construction statis-
tics before the war and during the
conflict, for the United States and
Canada, have been prepared.
Eastern Conditions.
Eastern conditions reveal that the
system of building supervision per-
fected by Bernard NJ Barucn and his
conferees has made it possible to
radically modify the restrictions here
tofore placed upon building construc-
ton OF non-war character without
creating stampede either toward in
scfinlnate building projection or in
iiatfon of building material prices
Neither will be permitted because the
councils of national defense in every
state of the Union will have final au-
thortty and supervision over all non
war building projects until the bui<p
ing Industry returns to something like
its normal pressure.
Peace Prospects Discounted.
A general modification Of private
building restrictions, 1t is stated
would not result in any serious dis
turbance of present prices. Manu-
facturers have already discounted the
prospects of peace in its relation to
the redistribution of building ma
teriais and the word has been passed
among building material distributors
In the eastern section Of the country
at least to be covered"
In consequence there need be no
general price movement upward al
least for the present and in the in
term releases will probably be made
in certain industries making buildin
specialties and equipment to not only
take care of domestic trade, but ex-
port business as well. In most lines
of basic building material it was said
that there would be ample Supplies
on hand to take care of all current
building work." not only that which
is under way. but also that which is in
imm Mediate prospect. pending the re-
sumption of basic building material
manufacture next spring.
