CONTROVERSY OYER LUG3ER.
Chairman Hurley and the NorA CGr-
olina Pine Ltsihber Association. nt
Odds. /

Washington, March 2.-Warm con-
troversy is in progress between Chair
man Hurley Of the shipping board
and the North Carolina Pine Lumber
Association with regard to the re-
sponsibility for delay in the fu. 1ymenr
Of the wooden ship program.
In answer to Chairman Hurley's as
sertion that the Pine Lumber Asso-
| citation has failed to make good Ms
promises TO supply lumber ,represen-
tatives Of the association here declare
that the shipping board lost nino
months waiting for timber which the
board had been warned last May must
he obtained from the Pacific coast, be-
cause the trees IN the South do NOT
grow large enough for the specifica-
tions in certain eases. The associa-
ton claims to be three months ahead
on lumber of the sizes which 1t is
able to supply, and say that it is now
furnishing 100000 feet or almost
enough for one ship every day.
Chairman Hurley insists that the
Pine Lumber Association is response
BILE for a delay of three months In
the schedule, and that the program ia
the Gulf and Southeastern yards is
ilnpCrilled, he adviaing that the ship
ping board has put its own timber
crews into the field, and viii hence
forth see that government lumber ex-
perts are in direct charge of purcliaSr
ing and milling.
on the other hand, the Pine Lum-
her Associat ton quotes as follows
from announcement which it says the
Emergency Fleet Corporation of the
shipping board gave out at its New
Orleans Office February 2S lat.
Every ship yard along the South
Atlantic and Gulf coasts is now sup
piled with all the timbcrs needed to
rermit OF full opc 70 tons. Many yards
are piling up reserve materials. IN
