|ALL A QUESTION OF LABOR.
Niuety-Five Per Cent Of The Cost
Of Ships Is Labor.
ONLY DIFFERENCE IN COST.

Washington, March S.-Senator
Hanna addressed the senate on the
shipping bill, his remarks being prin
,ipally in answer to Senator Clays
speech. He said that when Mr.. Clay
quoted from Senator Frye's remarks
that all there was in this question
which required legislation was en-
braced in the one question of labor, he
was correct
Il stand by that proposition, but
90 further. The ore in the ground is
worth about % cents a ton. After it
was touched by the hand of man it was
labor. Ninety-five per cent of the cost
of ship built in American shipyards
or in any shipyard is purely labor. The
cost of the construction of a ship in the
United States as against that in either
England, Germany or France simply
measures the difference of wages and
the efficiency of American labor"
Everybody knows, he continued, that
the United States is now engaged in a
hand-to-hand contest with foreign ma
tions to secure the commerce of the
Orient and that the United States had
been foremost and steadfast in its
policy to secure the markets of China
and hold them as an open door. The
Philippine archipelago was the key to
the Orient, said he, and when it haG
become naval station surrounded by
all the protection that maratime feet
would need, it would become factor
in our commercial conditions in the
Orient.
In closing, Senator Hanna again di-
verted to the question of the cost OF
labor, maintaining that wages in this
country averaged so per cent higher
than in European countries. The cost
of ships built in the United States was
from 25 to 80 per cent higher than
those built in Great Britain, the differ
ence in the price of labor making the
difference in cost.
