Cammell Laird & Co., Ltd. Cammell Laird and Cumping Limited, Sheffield, report that, there has been," throughout the year, a fair amount of activity in almost avery branch of their works ut Sheffield and Penistone. During the last four cr fre montba many branches of the works bave been very heavily engaged. The export of railway material,
comprising lyras,
azlea, buffers, &, was good up to the end of July, when the out. break of war immediately and aeriously affected shipments and caused portial or entire suspen- sion of many important crders. The temporary deficiency than caused war, howevar, easily com pensated by the diversion tol British works of caitain Colonial} and other crdera placed with Continental manufacturers. Tho "firm socured 'a very good pre- portion of these, which were sup- plemented very considerably by ordera sacurod iz markets hitherto exclusively supplied by home trade. Germany. The

There has been complete immunity from labour troubles, the relations between the firm and ita work people having been otaracterized by a pirit of. friendly co-operation. Nearly 400 of the workmen and staff at the Sheffield Works alone havo: joined His Majesty's Forcee. Prospects for the coming year are fairly good. Daring 1914 the output of work at the ship- building and engineering works at Birkenhead exceeded in volumė that of any previous year in the firm's history. In March last tha firm were honoured by a visit from their, Majesties the King and Queen. In the early part of the year the machinery for H.M. battleship Iron Bake was com plated and handed over to, the Admiralty altor very cuc- cessful series of trials. Other vessels completed include the intermediate passenger sisamera Khiva, Khyber, and Kormalu (built for the Peninsular sod Oriental Company), the a.. Davon for the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company), and the ice- breaker and car ferry steamer Leonard (built to the order of the Transcontinental Railway Com- pany of Canada). There ship bailding and engineering works have, generally speaking, been well supplied with work through- out the year, though it was not- iced that, even pror to the war, enquiries for merchant work were becoming considerably scarcer than for some time previous. Shortage of men in certain of the akilled trades and loss of time by men in other departments have
