NEW DEMANDS FOR j. s.

Reports of Delays and Large U-Boat
Toll Brings Pressure to Bear
in Congress.

Reports of delays in the shipbuilding
program and latest disclosures as to
bosses from U-boats has resulted in re-
newal of demands that the governmen
take over and operate shipyards in this
country. The subject is being advo-
Gated in Congress. The shipping board
has been requested formally TO give
consideration to it.
The board in the past has opposed
government operation. contending that
if the labor situation can be straight
ened out the yards will turn out as
much tonnage under private manage
ment as they would under government
operation. It has been devoting it's
efforts to the labor question, seeking
to establish uniform wages and to re-
cruit reserve force of workmen.
