UNOFFICAL ACTIVITY.
Although there is no apparent recognition by the Congress that the coal crisis exists, the Labour leaders at Portsmouth have not been inactive and unofficially they have been busily exploring avenues of peace. It is now considered possible that the Congress will not at present make any official act of intervention, but will tave definite mediation more to the Triple Alliance, which may not act until the last moment. The Government's stand- I point still is that so long as the miners' leaders maintain the attitude that their two demands are one and indivisible there is little hope of a peaceful issue or even of beginning negotiations.

BOXING ETHICS..
CARPENTIER NOT TO MEET DEMPSEY IN LONDON.

The new tonnage commenced during the past quarter represented 588,604 gross tons, and a noteworthy feature Is the large average size of the vessels in demand. There are now building 223 vessels of 6 000 tons or over, as compared with 210 in March. The vessels of 10,000 tons and upwards number 63. Whilst there has been, during the quarter, an increase of 184,000 tons in the work under con struction in British yards, there has been a large fall in the work in band abroad, although it should be observ. ed that the returns include no figures for Germany. The most notable drop in production has been in the States, where the decrease has been continuous for the past 15 months. In March, 1919, the work in hand at American yards was 4,185,523 gross tors, on June 30 last it was 2.105.956, whilst in the United Kingdom the merchant tonnage per in hand has increased-'60 cent, during the same period, and is a record for this country, During the quarter the tonnage in course of construction in the Over Beas Dominions has increased by 36,000 tops the aggregate at the end- of June being 268,799 Holland also shows an increase, but in Japan-the has tonnage under construction fallen by 31.000,- gross tons.
