S25,267,686 IN YEAR
Department of Commerce Sta
tistics Show Value of Prod
ucts During 1912.

Statistics respecting shipbuilding in
the United States for the year 1903
have been prepared by the Department
Of Commerce and will soon be issued in
a complete bulletin about the industry
There were 1853 establishments engaged
in ship and bodybuilding. giving employ
ment to 40,056 wage earners to whom
s25,267,6S6 was paid. The value of
products was s73,36O,315, while the cost
of materials was s31,214,35S, equal to
42.5 per cent of the value of the pro-
ducts.
While the number of establishments
engaged in iron and steel shipbuilding
was comparatively small" says an ad-
vance notice of the bulletin, these es-
Establishments in 1909 gave employment
to 6S.5 per cent of the total number of
wage-earners in the industry"
A decline in shipbuilding in the five
year period between 1904 and 1909 is
clearly brought out by the fact that for
all classes of vessels of five tons and
over there was a decrease with the ex-
ception of motor boats. The decline in
the iron and steel branch of the industry
is no doubt due to the decrease of Gov
ernment work done in private Ship
yards"
