Cramp on Ships.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21-Charles
III. Cramp. head of the Cramp Ship
building Company. appeared before the
Industrial Commission today and gave
testimony regarding marine architec-
| ture.
| Farquhar of the Commission wanted
to know why it is that American mon
! ey does not seek investment in trans
Atlantic and Pacific trade
THE first reason" Cramp replied, lis
that 1t does not pay, and the second is
that the people have not been educated
money unless he has been educated in
the use of it."
| Farquhar asked if 1T was true, as re-
ported, that the increased cost of build
ing a ship in this country over that OF
a foreign built vessel was responsible
fol, the lack of American interest in the
| Industry Cramp said the first cost OF
ship was scarcely worth considering
but that the cost of operating the YES
| sci, which was a daily expenditure, was
an important item. Continuing, Cramp
asserted that some Americans are buy
ing British castoff ships at bargain
and are denouncing the subsidy bill be-
cause they will not benefit by it. He
said that the cost of operating foreign
vessels is less than that of American
ships, and American people acquainted
with the business can operate ships il
they are given the benefit
l am in favor of the subsidy bill, -
said Cramp. The shipyards in Amer.
lea or England cannot build ships
tenough to supply the demand. This be-
,inG the case, / think if we can build
more of our own by the Introduction OF
free ships we should do it. The mer-
chant marine cannot be rehabilitateo
without a subsidy"
Cramp said he thought the subsidy
named in the Hanna bill was 4'aboul
right" Cramp said:
Great Britain's source of wealth Is
her shipbuiiding, in the vessels she
builds for other countries. The ship.
building interests are assisted by the
Government / want to compete with
England"
A reason why this country should
have more ships, Cramp said, is the
steadily decreasing coal supply of Eu
rope, and eventually all Europe viii
come to this country for coal He spoke
OF the enormous profit on armor plate
In building warships for Russia hi:
company was compelled to pay the full
rate of $500 a ton to Carnegie for ar
NOR This, he said, was one-third tn,
cost of the ship.
IF | could get the profit on armol
plate" declared Cramp, Il would builC
a warship at cost"
AT what price could armor plate be
furnished to the Government and give
the producer fair profit" inquired
Mr.. Kennedy
II do not know was the response
4 would not like to say"
