Despite the progress being made at
Hog Island, where a schedule ot two
keels laid a week is now maintained. It
has been decided to appeal to President
Wilson to "speed up" shipments of steel,
that the yard's shipping progiam may
be hastened.
Steel shortage Is holding up a ast

pie Mr. Baldwin bald yesterday that
iiO.OOO workmen nt the yards are being

of the steel shortage.
-Kor,lio weeks. there 'have-beerntweh
ty ways ready to take keels at the big
Hog Island yards, but steel shortages
have made this Impossible. Mr. Baldwin
said, and only seven keels have been
laid.
In his testimony Mr. Baldwin
a I
serted that more than 00,000 tons of
steel per month will be peeded at Hog
Island for the next three months, but
that there has been no assurance given
tho International that this amount can

It la said that a complete statement
