THURSDAY,. APRIL i? 191S. VAGiL SIX fLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOUBNAI. TOO SLOW MEET ING THE DEMAND FOR MORE SHIPS BUILDERS STERNLY CALLED TO ACCOUNT AND TOLD NO EXCUSES WILL GO Tor.age Being Turned Out a Disap ointment to Officials Need More to Win the War. Washington, April 2. American shipbuilders were called upon to night to explain why their output lor March fell hehind schedule. Chairman Hurley, of the shipping board and General Manager Piez, of the emergency fleet corporation tel egraphed heads of all the yards in the United States saying they were 'keenly disappointed" in the tonnage delivered and placing the responsi bility of turning out ships squarely on the men in control of actual building operations. "Keynote of present situation is management leadership," the tele gram said. "Money, material and manufacture have been supplied without stint by the nation. The American people want ships, not ex cuses." Suggestions were requested and the officials said they wanted to Know if the fault lay in the emer gency fleet corporation. 'Tlease don't over-estimate," the telegram urged, after asking for the prospects during April. It was said that the March estimate of 197,07", tons had meen made on the promises of ship builders who delivered only 100.700 tons. In discussing the telegram, Mr. Hurley said he meant to find out exactly where the fault lay. "Perhaps it might lie with the representatives of the fleet corpora tion, who are co-operating with the builders." he said. "If so, we want to know it and promise to correct it. "Kvry man engaged in building ships ought to keep in mind all the time that he is working to back up the boys over there and that it is up to the shipbuilder and ship work r to feed those boys who are giving their all i.i this war. If we all could get the idea, there would be no loss of production at any time." CALLED TO REST SUNDAY. IV-.;n Ti:T:lay's Taily.
