BUILDERS UNDER HANDICAP Mr. Podson Delares It Is Vp to Operators to Get Federal Body to Lift Ban by Presenting Indisputable Evidence. Pacific Coast wooden shipbuilders must perfect early organization in the Interest of the future development of tlie industry and for immediate work in laying- before the Shipping Board facts relative to the proposals being offered by allied countries for the con struction of wooden vessels. So far ac ceptance of such business has been made impossible because of a clause that must be embodied in contracts that the vessels may be commandeered. W. D. B. Dodson, executive secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, was in receipt of a communication yesterday from the office of United' States Sena tor McNary, in which it was recounted that objections made by the Chamber to the attitude of the Government were placed before Admiral Capps. The lat ter is quoted as having said no specific cases had been called to his attention in which Portland yards not now en gaged in Government construction had been prevented frob obtaining permis sion for other work. He said the Gov ernment must have full details of pros pective contracts before passing on them, and that they must not in any way interfere with the building of Fed eral ships in the way of material or labor. Hoard Announcements Conflict. "Mr. Dodson thinks the Coast build rs who have not obtained Government contracts and. those who will finish their vessels within the next year must get together to make a proper showing at ashington, so that contracts may be accepted with assurance that the ships will not be commandeered, since the officials are on record as not in tending to order more of that class for the present emergency. Speaking of the matter yesterday, he said: We have taken tne position with the Shipping' Hoard, sine the apparently offi cial announcement is made that no more wooden ship? are to he constructed, that they should permit, with full latitude of action, the construction of wooden ships for eny friendly foreign or private American Interests who desire to take up the work. C Inline Destroys Kffect. Nominally the Shipping Board says that this may be done. Circular No. :irt indi cates how it may be don. But in circular No. 3d is the clause: "That all such mer chant tonnage is to be automatically subject to the provisions of existing laws with re spect to commandeering and any contract made ia required to have a definite provision to that effect." This clause destroys the whole opportunity for action. If a foreign government wants ships and appropriates money to obtain them, rhey do not want the money re turned to them at the expiration of the construction period, but want the ships at Vhnt time for a use tJmt lias already been planned. It they feel there is doubt about getting the wooden ships for which they Invite contracts, they naturally would rather use their money to obtain vessels elsewhere, where there would be a guaranty of their ability to get the vessels themselves, in stead of such sum as our Government might allot them If vessels they had under con tract here were vomnamieered. Labor-Material Shortage Problem, It is absolutely incomprehensible to us why th3 Shipping Board, after declaring It does not want more ships, will insist that they shall have the right to coinnmndrer wnuden ships after they are constructed for otht-r people. If they want the ships or may want them, we believe they should build tht m. If they do not want them, they should not interfere with anybody else who is building them. There is only one argument the Board makes that seems to require reply. That argument is any new work undertaken shall I'oL interfere with the existing Government programme of construction. The only inter ference that can arise is in the supply of raw materials and labor. V.'e have put be fore representatives of the Shipping Board cl.'ita that 'ought to convince anyone of our ability to provide the raw material nnd labor to build these additional ships with out interfering In the slightest with the Government's existing programme. If the Shipping Board will not accept this proof we will have to get some medium of com munication with that body through which we can ascertain what kind of proof they w ill accept or what language we can em ploy in communicating with them. HEAD WINDS HOLD CAMPBELL Well-Known Fore and After Is 18 Days on Way From Bear State. It required 18 days, or almost six times as long as a slow steamer would have been on the way, for the schooner John A. Campbell to make the run from San Francisco to the Columbia River. She reported at 4 o'clock yesterday af ternoon and her departure from the Golden Gate was recorded October 7. Northwest winds prevailed during all the time she was at sea. The same distance has been covered by a schoon er in three days, and again some have been out much longer than the Camp bull. The vessel loads a. lumber cargo at the St. Johns mill. Of the offshore vessels bound this way, two auxiliary schooners will be among the first arrivals, as the Asto ria, owned by A. O. Andersen & Co., has been on the way from Sydney 60 days and the S. I. Allard, of the Mc cormick fleet, left Honolulu Wednes day for Portland after having called there for fuel oil. FINAL PAYMENT IS READY Dock Board Expected to Authorize Funds for St. Johns Property. rrovidinp" all papers are ready and approved, final payments are expected to be authorized on the purchase of the St. Johns elevator and water terminal pite. The Commission of Public Docks postponed yesterday's session until this morning:, and. besides the settle ment for the property there will be other important business transacted bearing: on the new construction. The Commission is convinced there will be no lengthy delays in the re ceipt of material for the elevator con struction, and everything: will be at tended to that will tend to expedite the building- as soon as the foundation preparations are finished. The ele vator is to be ready for grain at the cpening- of the 1918-19 cereal season. I Pacific Coast Shipping Xotes. ASTORIA, Or.. Oct. 23. (Special.)

WOOD SHIPS TO PLY ON PACIFIC OCEAN Vessels Under Contract to the Shipping Board Will Replace Those Commandeered; TRAFFIC NOT TO BE HURT Contracts for Other Governments May Be Entered Into by Coast Builders, Subject to Govern Right to Take Them Over. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, JWash ington, Oct. 25. Wooden ships being built on the Pacific Coast for the United States Shipping Board are not destined to engage in trans-Atlantic traffic, but will as fast as they are completed be put into service on the Pacific, either coastwise or trans-oceanic, replacing steel ships which are to be transferred to the Atlantic. The decision has been reached by the Shipping Board after conference with shipowners on the two coasts. The crying need of the day is for steel ships to carry troops and sup plies to Europe, and while few of the American steel vessels on the Pacific are suitable for the troops transports, most of them can, in some way, be utilized as freight carriers. Ships Taken Gradually. The Shipping Board intends, as time goes on, to withdraw practically every American steel vessel now on the Pa cific, but the withdrawals will be made gradually. Early next Spring the first of the new wood shins of 3500 tons will be completed and ready for service, and by substituting these wood vessels ror the steel ships the board believes Pa cific traffic will not be hampered. In the same way, wooden ships built on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts will be pressed into coastwise trade so as to release steel vessels tnai nave not. jei gone into trans-Atlantic service. Wooden Shiux Contracted. The Shipping Board has authorized the American Shipbuilding Company, of Portland; the Pacific Shipbuilding Company and Meacham & Babcock, of Seattle, to undertake contracts for the construction of wooden vessels for the French and British government? sub ject to the right of the United States at any time to commandeer these ves sels for its own use. The Dlants must agree to lntenere in no way with work on ships being' built bv other yards for the Govern ment. Before these yards can under take construction of foreign orders thev must submit their contracts to the Shipping Board and have them ap proved. Tvrohy Bros, to Build Cars. Th order for steel freight cars to be placed by the Council of National Defense at Seattle, is slightly larger than it was announced being for, 2250 r. st pari of 2000. This contract win De filler! lointlv bv the Piggott Company at Seattle, and the Twohy Bros., of Portland, these firms having consoli dated in bidding for this work. The price will be approximately ibuo per car. AMERICA'S PCRSER MARRIES Martin Fleury Takes Bride After Trying for Army Career.
