WARRINGTON. March 25.---Itepressnta-
tives Of forty-elsht wooden shipbuildins
yards, with is3 ways. embracing the
wood shipbuilding industry Of tho Attain
tic and Gulf coasts. presented an appeal
TO the Shipping Board to-day to meet the
situation created among these yards by
cancellation Of wooden ship contracts
They were assured that the board would
do all In its power TO bring about an
equitable adjustment with them on the
losses threatened. The shipyard owners
told the board that 90 per cent Of tho
wood shipbuilding ways and plants
would be scrapped Immediately. as the
ways are good for nothing except the
building Of wooden ships.
The yards on the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts. II Was stated, represented a total
OF about 500, 900 900. and creditors were
pressing because OF the decision to build
no more wooden ships. The yard repre-
sentatives asked that settlements be hur-
ried. They have claims aegregating
something more than 100000 that
they want settled. These do not include
adjustments on vessels now on the ways
and which are to be completed.
Practically no wood ships have been
ibio GOWN thib yenr, anu tne ways IOr
them are rapidly clearing with nothing
to 60 on them. II 10 q matter Of weeks.
II is said, before the last Of the wooden
ships will be in the water, and the wood
yards, As such. will have nothing to do.
In addition to the ships being COM
pleted there are now at Quitting docks
something like 100 wooden ships Without
boilers ana machinery. ana no machin.
cry will be furnished for them. Instead
they will be converted into barses or
schooners. This will stall the market
for the construction Of wood barGes and
sailing vessels. leaving the wooden ship
yards with no prospect of any consider
able continued production.
The wooden ship men point out that
the yards were built to meet contracts
held from the Shipping Board Elmer
Genoy Fleet Corporation and that sud-
den stopping Of the programme has left
the investors high and dry. They want
the Shipping Board to assume as much
of the responsibility as possible.
The collapse OF the American wooden
ship building programme makes 1t clear
that the day Of the wooden ship is def
nitely past.
No decision has been reached as to
Just how far the Shipping Board can go
in meeting the situation confronting
shipbuilders who revived an almost for
gotten art TO meet the national emer-
gency.

COREANS INCITED
BY SECRET PAPER
Independence Moves GrolUs
and Business Ceases


SErL. Corea, March 20 (delayed) -
The Corean movement for independence
II continuing determinedly. The move
uIent for the most part is keeping to the
previously decided upon method Of pas
stve resistance. but there have been
numerous riotous disturbances in the
interior, especially In the north, along
the Manchurian and Chinese borders.
One feature that gives the authorities
considerable concern is the appearance
almost daily OF secretly printed news
paper resembling the Libre BeloiQue,
which was circulated In Belgium during
the German occupation. This journal
keeps the Coreans informed OF the de-
velopments OF the situation. The i'm
preston prevails from n recent search
OF tho Severance and other Christian in
situations by the authorities. that they
had hope OF finding in one OF these In
stitutions the mlmeograph outfit from
which the bulletin Is issued. The semi
official SeuI Press says the Procurators,
assisted by the police, visited the Sever
ance Hospital and the First Methodist
Hospital in Chungdong and seized n
number OF articles as evidence. This
newspaper cffnnS >hat the JspNG cor
respondents are sending out sensational
reports OF the Developments.
The Independence demonstrators in
general take the attitude of men willing
20 sacrifice themselves for the salvation
Of their country.
There is no sign of any reopening Of
the Corean shops, and il is feared that
their continuing to keep their doors
closed will cause numerous bankruptcies
and paralyze commerce generally.
According to a Mukden message the
disturbances In Corea have affected Chi
nese territory along the Yalu River.
where the Coreans held mass meetings
and threatened the Japanese. Troops
were despatched to the scene, the mes
sage adds. and the Japanese commune
ties have organized volunteer defence
corps.
