THE SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY

LIE S1I~BUILDllHUI lNDOSlRY
The Richmond shipyard is not the only
such Industry In the United States in
trouble. 1t Is announced from Philadel-
phia that the William Cramp & Sons
Ship and Engine Building Company has
been reorganized. and that loan OF five
million dollars is necessary to keep It's
business going. This means, according to
reliable Northern newspaper, that the
creditors are practically to take control
of its affairs and appoint new men to
carry on its work. -' - '-'--.
The shlpbuilding industry has not been
altogether profita BILE in the United States,
and strangely enough. 1t is said that the
government is largely responsible. Con-
prlations, and competition between ship
builders has been SO sharp as to cause
them to take government contracts In
many instances at less than cost of pro
duction.
Tho Richmond shpyard did as we'll as
could have been expected under all the
circumstances, and while we do not re-
joice in the misfortunes. Of others, there
is some comfort In knowing that even
SO old and renowned a concern MS the
Cramp shipyard OF Philadelphia, has
found 1t difficult to get along, We have.
however an abiding faith in the indus
try in this city. in spiteEof Its .misfor-
tunes, and we cannot but think that 1t
will be continued. stR

not to their credit that they have used

weightiness Of their offense SO as to
deter others from following their bad

The attack on the bank was carried
out by two bands of men. One OF
them attacked the guard on duty at the
bank and the other hurled the bombs
It is thought that the strong room re-
sisted the explosion. Several of the
men who took part in the attack have
been arrested.
In addition to the two bands which
attacked the bank, a number of men
rushed through the principal streets of
the city throwing bombs into the
