Prase for Bath Workers.

Naval Constructor Hichborn in his report
on his recent visit to the Bath Iron Works
speaks in high terms of their facilities for
building iron ships and adds:
"The works being located in ship build
ing district, there is no trouble to be antici.
pated from lack of experienced labor. These
mechanics, being experienced and intelligent
workers, and having had, even in the build
ing of wooden vessels, considerable expert
enoe in metal work, pass readily from the
use Of wood to the working of iron and stee
in ship construction. The experience which
they have gained in the more intricate meth
DDS of wooden ship bnilding makes them fal
superior to the class of iron workers EN-
plOyed in many wards"
