method of towing a big ship up the coast
in a hurry had succeeded, and the Alaska
Packers' association's ship Star of Lapland
had arrived in Seattle in tow of the tugs
Sea Kagle and Fearless. The trip was made
in five days. The tugs towed the vessel
by steaming ahead abreast and remaining
separated about 100 yards, thus relieving
the bow of the ship from the big rush of
water. At Eureka the Fearless left to se
cure additional fuel and then joined the
other tug. Th Kagle did the same stunt
off the Columbia river, and thus no time
was lost in towing. This is a new method.

son, of the Matson liner Lurline, which ar
rived from the island port today with 57
cabin and 19 steerage passengers. The
Lurline was never designed to carry this
number of passengers, but owing to the
situation in the islands, people are willing
to accept any sort of accommodations rather
than be compelled to remain there longer.
Some of the passengers slept on the seats
in the social saloon and a number in the
steerage. The Lurline brought a full cargo
of island products, mostly sugar, and the of
ficers and crews of two vessels which were

FLAT-PRICE SYSTEM
FOR SHIPS ADVANCED
Great Industry Must Return to
Normal Basis.
WEAKER PLANTS TO PASS
American. Operators Face Problems
or Meeting Foreign Competition
In Vessel Produclton.
WASHINGTON, May 20. Revision of
the shipbuilding programme to a peace
time basis was put before the repre
sentatives of Atlantic Gulf and Lake
yards by the shipping board at a series
of conferences concluding today. These
were held preliminary to submission to
congress of estimates of money needed
to finish the great merchant marine.
The builders were asked if they were
prepared to accept flat prices, in lieu
of the old cost-plus system involving
a lower margin of profit and no guar
antee against increases in the prices
of labor and materials. About 30 per
cent of outstanding contracts are based
on the cost-plus system.
Another meeting soon will be held
after the owners have had a chance to
study the situation and formulate
their answers. Pacific coast builders
will meet with the board Thursday to
consider the same problem.
Fair Treatment Promised.
Chairman Hurley told the yard rep
resentatives that the industry de
veloped by the war emergency was not
on a normal basis now, that peace had
come and that reductions in building
costs may be made to enable American
ships to compete with the foreign pro
duct. It was made clear that the board
had no intention to interfere arbitrari
ly with the industry nor to attempt to
prevent legitimate profit on contracts
made in good faith and on which the
builders were assured they would re
ceive equitable treatment.
Where keels have not been laid, how
ever, the board expects generous co
operation from the yards in putting
down the high cost justified during the
war emergency and where material has
not been delivered, in substituting a
new flat price contract and types of
ships needed to make a well balanced
fleet.
Weaker Plants to Pass.
Until flat prices can be quoted on
tonnage still to be built, the board does
not expect to ask congress for an ap
propriation. Nearly $700,000,000 will be
needed to carry out contracts which
the board already has been authorized
to make. Approximately 750,000 tons
of small ships probably will be can
celled to allow the substitution of
larger types in the same yards.
Reduction of building costs will save
many millions to the government. It is
believed the readjustments will reach
$150,000,000. Kxperts of the board did
not hesitate to say there are more
yards now than the country needs and
regard the passing of the weaker is to
be expected, their function ended with
the close of hostilities. Owners of all
yards built as war measures are being
compensated as other industries are, it
was stated.

W. L. KEARNS IS LAID TO REST
Veteran Xewspaper Man Honored by
Many Friends.
Friends in shipping circles that have
to do with the deep water trade, steam
boat men, government officials and
newspapermen, were among those who
paid last respects yesterday afternoon
to W. L. Kearns, better known along
the waterfront as "Dad" Kearns, ma
rine editor for the Portland Telegram
covering a period of 3 3 years, who died
Saturday and whose funeral was held
at Holman's chapel at 2:30 o'clock.
Rev. E. H. Pence, pastor of the West
minster Presbyterian church, conducted
services, which were brief, as the de
ceased had wished, while Mrs. Lulu
Dahl Miller sang "Lead Kindly Light,"
which had been suggested by Mr.
Kearns when he realized the end was
near. From Holman's the fiftieral party
went to the Mt. Scott cemetery where
Masons of Hawthorne lodge No. Ill
laid their brother to rest with the sol
emn and impressive service of the order.
I Pallbearers were Robert Witlirow,
Lou Kennedy and G. P. Blssell. of the
Portland Telegram; J. L. Wallin, of the
Journal, and W. E. Mahoney, of The
Oregonian. There were many floral
pieces, but the greatest tribute was bv
the men with whom "Dad" Kearns had
labored and associated. To his news
paper colleagues his demise means the
passing of one invariably jovial, but
whose first regard was for his work;
while on the waterfront his absence is
felt by men . who knew him for 15
years, met him daily as he trudged the
"beat." called him "Dad" without
knowing why, and always welcomed
him as an expected and pleasing visitor
in the daily routine.
CRITICISMS ARE INVESTIGATED
Representative of Emergency Fleet
Corporation in Portland.
Criticisms emanating from Samuel C.
Lancaster, former plant engineer for
the emergency fleet corporation in the
Oregon district, who has been on leave
for the past month, as to certain pro
cedures in the administration of the af
fairs of the district form subjects un
der investigation before L. J. Went
worth, district manager, and J. W. Hall,
assistant manager. Mr. Lancaster re
ferred hl3 criticisms to the Philadel
phia home office of the emergency fleet
corporation and a representative of the
head office is attending the investiga
tion, which is expected to be completed
today.
Mr. Lancaster, who laid out the Co
lumbia river highway, has not been un
der orders of the district manager here,
reporting direct to Admiral Rousseau
of the plant division of the emergency
fleet corporation. He had to do with
the construction of shipyard ways, cer
tain conditions relative to launching
vessels and the like, and objections
were made at timers by builders to his
orders in such matters. J. W. Fergu
son, assistant plant manager of the
California district, has succeeded Mr.
Lancaster here. Neither the latter nor
representatives of the district head
quarters would make any statement as
to the case.
XORXJIAVEST LAUNCHES TODAY
Miss Helen Washburn Sponsor for
West Segovia.
West Segovia is the name the '31st
steel hull, ready at the Northwest Steel
company's yard, will be given when she
is launched today. The vessel was
originally designated on the Official
list of the shipping board as the West
Chestoa, but the new name was sub
stituted. Miss Helen Washburn is to
be sponsor.
The floating of the new ship will
give the- Northwest force credit for
having put overboard in excess of 272,
000 tons of carriers. There will re
main five hulls to be launched to com
plete the existing contracts with the
shipping board. There are four build
ing berths at the plant, so when the
next hull is in the water there will be
only one full "turn over" to be made,
unless cancelled contracts are restored
or more ships are provided for other

tougher and more resilient. They are built for
the heaviest of loads and the worst of roads.
They take the jar and shock, cushioning your
load and relieving your truck of strain.
They not only add greatly to the life of your
