STEEL SHIPS COST HIGH.
Wages in Shipyards Have Gone Up Over
$50 Per Cent.

Chicago, April 25.-The cost of build,
ing steel ships will remain high for some
time, the sixth annual foreign trade con-
vention was told to-day by Homer L.
Ferguson, president Of the Newport
News Shipbuilding company.
"The shpyards of the country now
have equipment TO build vessels in any
size up to the largest vessel afloat and
to build the smaller sizes of less than
10000 tons dead weight in any number
required" he said. "The possibilities of
the future of the industry are not very
bright, however, despite the interest
which has been aroused throughout the
country. A large amount of capital has
been invested to build new and enlarg.
ing old shipyards, but it has been invest.
ed under abnormal conditions and is
greatly in excess of the amount which
would have been required in normal
times.
"Shipbuilding wages have gone up over
$50 per cent and wages in the steel in.
dustry have arisen approximately the
same The cost of steel vessels per ton,
therefore, will be two or three times the
pre-war prices until the industrial con-
dtions change"
