COUNTY sCHOOLs OPEN

All rural schools of the Bessemer district will open Wednesday morn ing. Plans have been made to care for an increased enrolment at all county schools this year. and offi- cials urge that all children be on hand Wednesday morning for regis tration.
 The county will not send any chill dren of the elementary grades to the Bessemer schools this year, as sufficient space has been provided in the recently completed schools for their enrolment. If, however. any child wished to attend at Bes- semer by paying their own tuition it will be necessary to secure t1 t1ansfer from the county superin- tendents office in Birmingham. This must be done before Friday, as that is registration day in the Bessemer schools.

THE SHIPPING SITUATION.
Oecar, You're
Ancky Il Was
A Pillow
by
Terry
Cilkison
c

The fact that Congress did not
adopt the proposed subsidy to Ameri-
can Shipping apparently means that
the private chipping industry of this
country, so far as international trade
is concerned, must be adjusted to the
continuance for an indefinite period
of highly competitive operation with
out direct government aid, according
to the current issue of the Guaranty
Survey, published by the Guaranty
Trust COmpany Of New York.
1t is pOssibk, however, that this
competition may for a time be af-
fected by conditions which would in
directly operate as a kind of subsidy,
the Survey says. This result may be
brought about if the shipping board
carries out the suggested policy of
selling ships considerably below the
present cost of production. Such a
policy would represent a capital, rath-
er than a direct operating subsidy,
resulting in lower costs of deprecia-
ton, interest and insurance to Amer
ican purchasers of shipping board
vessels-in effect ~offsetting to some
extent, if not wholly, the lower wages

ping program.
Scandinavian shipping has recently
shown the greatest relative improve
nent. The comparatively small
amount of tonnage now tied up in
Denmark, Norway and Sweden repre-
sents in considerable degree old and
unsuitable ships. Due to the n
nous prices paid for any kind of sea-
going hulls during the war, there has
been some hesitation in scrapping OBJ
solete ships. Furthermore, Norwe-
gian shipping has benefited by a
government subsidy amounting to
S4,0O0,000 a year. About one-fifth
of the Italian tonnage has been idle
during the last year, and nearly one
third Of the French.
The German merchant fleet now
comprises ships with an aggregate of
more than 100000 gross tons, or
nearly half the pre-war tonnage.
Competition from this source is seri-
ously considered because of the strong
determination Of Germany to restore
her former trade relations, ana the
natural preference for German ton
mage originating within her borders.
The ability to get the business, and
the fact that the fleet is composed
largely of new ships built to take ad-
vantage Of fuel economies and the low
operation costs due to low wakes and
low capital charges, makes the COM
petitive position of German shipping
very favorable. There has been a
slackening in the German ship-build-
ing industry recently on account of
the shutting off of materials from
the Ruhr.
The failure of the proposed sub
sidy to shipping does not necessarily
entail the abandonment of American
competition for the overseas carrying
trade. The same initiative and man
! agerial ability which have developed
domestic industry and sent American
products into the markets of the
world may find their rightful re.
wards in ocean transportation as well
The surplus of available tonnage
which adversely affects foreign shiI
owners as well as our own, may be
expected to disappear with economic
recovery where the war and its after
math have brought disorder and hin
dered the production and exchange O.
commodities. The approach in thi
country to that degree of INTENSIVE
realization of domestic economic re
sources which characterizes a numbe
of the more highly in~dustrialized ma
tions of Europe will operate increas
irgly to make possible in the shippm
industry profits comparable to thos
earned in internal enterprises.

REHABILTTATED VETERAN
NOW MAGAZINE EDITOR

Otto Martin has become managing
editor of the Minnesota Herald, q
monthly magazine published by the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, at Min
neapolis, MINI. He has taken hold OF
this new work with a vigor and intel
ligence that promises good results.
Before the war, Mr.. Martin had had
some experience in newspaper work
and had evinced considerable literary
ability. But his principal occupation
had been drafting, and this he could
no longer carry on with his war disa-
billties. He was therefore granted
vocational training by the u. E. Vet
erans' Bureau, G. D. Hubbard. dis
trict manager, Minneapolis, Mimi,
and was advised to take work that
would lead him to the employment
objective of advertising manager. His
fundamental training was given in q
business college and supplemented by
placement training with a large firm
OF advertisers in Minneapolis.
His good training and natural abil.
ity, IS well as his personality, led to
the editorship of the above magazine
being rendered him soon after his re-
tanning was completed.

GARY AND ADMINISTRATION
DIFFER ON IMMIGRATION

Judge Gary, of the Steel Corpora
ton, wants more immigrants, because
he needs more laborers. The United
States government, as represented by
the administration, stands squarely
against any throwing down of the
immigration bars in order to let
cheap foreign labor pull down the
wages of American workmen. Less
than a year ago there was a five
million job shortage in this country.
Today every man who wants work
can have it. Referring to this condi-
ton, Secretary of Labor Davis wrote
to the president:
Immigration restriction was one
of the measures which helped to put
an end to the industrial panic. We
have come a long way through wise
administrative and Legislative meas
ures since then. Today unemploy-
ment has been reduced to a minimum
wages everywhere are rising. Dur
ing the past year, even during the
past few months, there have been
wage increases in practically all of
the forty-three industries reporting
to the bureau of labor statistics. They
have been very general in the basic in
dustries, and have ranged from 2 to
20 per cent.
Recently the larger steel plants
announced general wage increases of
IL per cent, which will undoubtedly
be applied throughout the industry.
In the. past year, Industrial payrolls
have increased approximately Is per
cent. Production in basic industries
during January of this year reached
a higher level than at any time in
history, except May, 1917. Expand
ing freight shipments likewise dem

dustril recovery"

FINANCIAL And BUSINESS SURVEY

and subsistence costs of operation of
foreign vessels.
The refusal of Congress to pass
the subsidy bill leaves the shipping
boards problems still unsolved. There
is a direct continuing loss of about
$4,000 a day, or $4,000 900 a year,
with perhaps three-fourths of the
vessels tied up. But this estimate
takes no account of depreciation or IN
terest on investment of more than
three billion dollars. Interest alone
at 5 per cent would represent an ad-
ditional 100000 a day, or $780,
100000 a year.
The opinion is widely held that the
ships should be disposed of as quick
ly as possible to avoid further oper-
ating losses. Recent Eales indicate
that the board cannot now realize
more than $50 a ton, taking the fleet
as a whole, although some of the
tankers would bring more than this
price. The amount realized from the
sale of the entire fleet on this basis
would be about $500, OOO, 900, or less
than 10 per cent of the original ex-
penditure.
The current market price of ships
is indicated by the price paid for YES
sells purchased recently by German
companies. They are approximate
ly as follows: For ships not more
than ten years old, $35 a ton; IL tc
Is years old SIS; 16 to 20 years old
$3.50; Fl to 25 years old, SO; more
than Is years old, $3.50. Before the
war cargo steamships were con.
structed in American shipyards al
from $50 to sos per ton, and in Brit
ish shipyardE at from $50 to $50 ;
ton.
The superiority of the present Brit
ish position is shown by the fact tina
on January 1, 1928, the United State
had more than 100000 gross ton,
Idle, compared with 100000 idl
tons in the United Kingdom. On
comparative gross tonnage basis
therefore, Great Britain has only one
tenth as large a proportion of i'd
tonnage as the United States, Thes
figures, of course, would be change
materially if the shipping boar
should carry out the proposed scrap
