ACTIVITY IN SHIPBUILDING
Seventy.one Big Vessels Being Com
structed in Shipyards on
the d. laware.

Great activity is being exhibited in the
shipyards ON the Delaware. There are
at the presnt time seventy-one big vessels
under contract and the value of the work
is s2s, ,795, 900.
At the yards Of the Harlan & Hol-
clingsworth Company big vessels are
under construction. The total registered
tonnage is 1900 and the value of the
work $2,500,o
At the yards of the jackson & Sharp
Company the total number Of vessels are
70, with a total registered tonnage of
1000. The value of the work is s10O, 600.
at Roach's in Chester, vessels are
under construction; Neafie & Levy Ship
building Company, 10; New York Ship
building Company, 4; Cramps, 16.
Tho other and smaller yards on the
Delaware, 20 vessels are under construc-
tion. The men directly employed in all
of the shipyards is 1900 and the weekl5
wages s175,000.
The great shipbuilders of the Della
ware all agree that the development Of
the industry in this country during the
last fifteen years is due almost entirely
to the national naval program. In this
interval the new American navy has
betn created and this has supplied work
or size to demand the expansion of the
yards to a point where they are capable
of handling anything. What merchant
work has been done is said to have been
of little help in the process of develop
ment, since the vessels were mostly
built at about cost, the competition being
SO keen and the demand so small.

most certainty that some of these
workers will go on a sympathetic strike
within two days unless the differences
between the company and the operators
shall be speedily adjusted. The reason
of the trainmen for taking this step is not
thought to comprehend so much sympa-
