America are far behind the times. The
most striking illustration of the an
tiquated methods which distinguish
American waterway commerce is the
manner of handling freight-the load
lag and unloading of vessels. In
France, Germany, Belgium, Holland
and Russia vessels are unIoaded by
travelling electric cranes which handle
with ease such enormous machinery
as locomotives, automobiles and SINH
lar freight. In some of the harbors
transshipments are made from vessel
to vessel by floating hydraulic cranes.
On the Mississippi river, even at such
large ports as st. Louis and Memphis,
we are still loading boats by negro
deck hands or "roustabouts" as they
did before the Civil War. The freight
is carried ashore on the backs OF
negroes or narrow gsng-plaDks. Al
many of the Mississippi River ports
baled cotton is unloaded by block and
trackle operated by hand. This
method is crude end economically
extravagant.
