New Merchant Marine.

The details OF shipbuilding in the
United Kingdom for the first eight
months OF 1901 make it almost certain
that by the end Of the year q greater
aggregate tonnage OF new vessels will
be launched within the United King
dom than in any previous year; and
at the same time the difficulty of OBJ
tanning freight that will leave a profit
IN the shioowner is ever increasing.
Some CT the most recent additions to
the list OF large cargo-carrylng ships
on the Atlantic are leaving the ports
on each side with half their cargo
space untitled, even though rates are
cut down till the profits are at the
vanishing point. This is a most un-
pleasant state Of matters for the ship
owners. present and prospective. Since
the beginning OF 1898 the shipbuiIders
of the United Kingdom have launched
about 100000 tens OF new vessels in
each year. and there is fully that
amount OF tonnage now under con-
struction; so that the question where
are all those vessels to find EMPLOY
ment becomes every dav more diff
cult 10 answer. II is plainly a case in
which shipowners mus teXercise some

spread disaster. If there were a
prospect of renewed commercial activ-
itv in the near future. there would be
coed reason for continuing to add now
vessels TO the merchant fleet. though
for the present the outlook is dull.
But as even the most optimistic can
only hope in n vague wav that freight
will become better when the war is
ended. and when vessels are required

Innovation Fr.m the Sound.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Nov. Is.
The schooner Prosper. Captain
Johansen, which sailed from here last
evening. lumber laden. for Free
mantle. introduced a novelty into the
trip which has not occurred here in
many years before. This novelty Is
the utilization of a union crew for d
deep-water voyage.
As a general thing. union crews are
used exclusively on the coast-that is,
between ports in America-hut in this
instance the union put aboard the
men to work the ship to a foreign
country.
Captain Johansen jpstifies this
course by the assertion that in putting
union men aboard he has the assur-
ance that they are competent sailors.
and their care OF, the sails, rigging and
vessel during the voyage mere than
recompensates the owners for the diff
ference in the am unt involved in the
matter of wages.
In shipping non-union crews, the
masters OF vessels secure them at a
lower rate so far as actual wages paid
the men is concerned. but when the
expense OF the boarding masters. etc.
is taken into consideration. the actual
outlay OF m ney is little different.
The move is an innovation In the
handling OF deep-water vessels that
will be watched with interest bv peo-
pie who have interests afioat. for 1t
NAV mean q revolution in the hand
ling OF men to work the vessels which
carry the products OF Puget Sound
abroad.
