AHERTC4N SHIPPING PRAISED.
GERMAN CONSTRUCTOR GIVES HIS VIEWS
ON THE INDUSTRY HERE.

Berlin. Jan. 6.-Tjard Schwartz, a German naval
constructor, who was recently sent to the United
States by the Marine General STAFF 10 investigate
shipbuiding there. has submitted his reports Herr
Schwartz says that all the principal shipyards in
the United States aided his Investigations in every
way His descriptions accompanied by many
photographs and drawings Of machines. and
especially of pneumatic contrivances used in ship
building
The investigator saws that materials FOR the con-
struction Of steel ships are lower In price in the
United States than In any other country. and that
the only thing to be complained OF is the fluCtua-
tion in prices which makes competition with for
eign shipbuilders difficult Herr Schwartz in this
connection says that within four months the prices
OF shipbuding materials in the United States have
iUctuated 200 ner cent from lack OF stability of
the market and that this is the principal reason
why American shipbuders are combining
with the steel producers
The German investigator refers TO the splendid
body of American workmen earning wages from 80
TO 90 per cent higher than those paid in Great
Britain and 100 per cent higher than the wages
paid on the Continent and says that wage bills
in the United States counterbalanced by
economical processes of machinery. which are not
found in European yards.
Herr Schwartz reports that Notwithstanding the
wages paid freghters are being built on the Great
Lakes cheaply stramp steamers built in
Great Britain.
He says that tho striking difference between
German and American shipyards is found in the

mering and riveting machines and pneuma tic

matte machines working at in the yards of an
american shipbuilding company in Chicago
although only TWO ships the stocks. He
says that British shipbuders are arranging 10 OBJ
tain these pneumatic machines from the United
States.

world and that Il will devote its resources to

fact. but in conclusion he says: We see, there

lRY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrRrxE.l

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
Philadelphia. Jan. 6-It was learned to-day from
reliable sources that at the next meeting OF the
Hudson River Regatta stewards a motion would be
placed before them advocating sending the win
ners OF this years contest the great interna-
tonal be held IN Ireland for Lord O'Brien's
magnificent trophy. Two of Pennsylvania most
prominent alumni favor this idea. and II Thomas
Reath. the head of Pennsylvania's rowing commit
tee will not lay the motion before the meeting, il
will be done through another channel.
So far Pennsylvania is concerned she will not
send an undergraduate abroad this season
unless Cornell also will do the same. Both these
colleges too anxious put forth their very
strongest Poughkeepsie TO think of send
ing eight over the water. But IL the Hudson
River Regatta stewards should decide TO send the
winners OF the regatta 10 the Irish race, every
in the regatta would have double incentive
to win out. The idea is very feasible. as II would
be a simple matter to raise the money for such
trip from the students and alumni OF the colleges
which Ike part I'm the regatta The financial end
of the trip would trouble. and all that
would be necessary carry out the plan would
be to shift the date of the regatta forward week
days.
BY many college this is considered good
move In itself, II Is too much to ask of the
college oarsmen that they should stay in training
It'll the first week in July II Is known that Cornell
is in favor OF the idea, II IL be carried out
without interfering with the success Of the Hudson
River regatta Columbia is also right In line, and
Hanlan is just as anxious as Ward and Courtney
to try conclusions with the Englshmen and other
foreign crews. BY holding the regatta about June
