SHIPYARD ROW IS NEAR END

Concessions Being Made by Both Government and Union. Washington, Feb. 22.—Concessions by the United States shipping board and William L. Hutcheson, president of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, seem likely to hying an end to the controversy that started when Hutcheson called out the men in the Atlantic coast shipyards. Hutcheson submitted a counter-proposal to the board, and this is now under consideration. He has receded from his position on some minor points, but still holds out for the closed shop and for the appointment of a carpenters’ brotherhood man on the wage adjustment board of the shipping board.
