OF THE WORK In Spite of Many Difficul ties the Shipping Board Was Able to Turn Out : Ships - in Number Suffi cient to Help Turn the Tide at the Most Critical Time. W ashington, D. C, Feb. 12.-E. N. Jlurley of Chicago, former chairman of ths shipping board, testified to-day be fore a House committee that he had been told by Georges Clemenceau at the Paris peace conference that the ap pointment of Charles M. Schwab as di rector general of the Emergency Fleet corporation had frightened the Ger (in,iins, heartened the French and en thused the British. Mr. Hurley appeared before the com mittee, which is investigating opera tions of the shipping board, to describe the difficulties encountered in the rap id creation of the government mer chant fleet during the war. Describing Mr. Schwab as "the fore most captain of industry irr the coun try," he praised his services to the frovernmeiit during the war and said ,tliat hell ad been instrumental in get ting Mr. Schwab-to serve with the cor poration, fie had done go, he said, be tause he realized that satisfactory progress was not being made in the building of new yards and in the con struction of wooden ships. Reviewing the board's work, gener ally during the war, Mr. Hurley said n intakes had been made, but that they were inherent in the magnitude of the jlob of expanding many-fold the ship construction facilities of the country, jlle declared that in spite of the many (lifhYultic the board was able to turn mut ships in great enough numbers to Jelp turn the tide at the-most critical Jirriod of the war. The shipping boaid's efforts were ap preciated abroad, Mr. Hurley said. "Why, tlie Kngli--h, French and ltal 5an and even the Jermans were iistoundcd at what we did," he de lta red. Outlining the rush job which the !oard faces, he asked: "In the. circumstance which then existed, is there any man of affairs vim would contend that the job could l,c done with that degree of efficiency that would commend itself to compe tent business men in time of peace that there could be exercises of econ omy that might have been possible vhen peace prevail-?" When the I'nited States entered the Mar, he said. :I7 steel and .14 wooden shipyards were in the country employ -Sn 44,000 men. At the peak of ac tivities this force was increased to CiHl.OOO with 200,000 others in indus tries providing ship materials. Trade witness defended the account Jng sy- :i of, the fleet corwrution. lodrru liuiiies methods were oper ated, he said, but its operations were jntcrfered with by the loss of skilled urcotin'.atits, who were lured away to fetter jobs in private industry.
