tinued, bat finding the task beyond their resources the Yams. abine firm sold the ship to the Miten Biabi for Y16,000. The Mitan Bishi Company has now appointed Mr. Harami-inbi to take charge of the salvage work on the Nile, and he is now con- duoling a preliminary survey as to the possibility of raising the steamer. In the event of the Nile being suocessfully raised, of course, it will mean consider able profit to those who achieve the feat.
Serious Handicap Upon U.S.
Shipping.
Few publications hayes wider circalation on the American con- tinent and-in certain directions -greater influence than the Sas tarday Evening Post, which, among the editorials of a recent edition, has the following trenchant comment and criticism of the new U. 8. Sailors' Ast, which has already put the important Pacific Mail Steam→ ship Company out of business. Here it is:
"Merchant ships are operated largely by sweated labour. Pay is low; working conditions are onerous. sympathize heartily with the It ought to be different. We
native-born sailor, who writes: Why are there so few American Bailore? Why should I be aabamed of my calling? Why should I be surrounded with the scum of the earth ? But sweated labour gives a low operating cost, and this appears to be one of the exceptional cases in which a higher wage scale is not compen sated by greater efficiency. All the testimony
wa have points to the conclusion that, a shipowner whose wages and living conditions came up to the theore tical American standard-only
American labour in other fields by no means gote that standard- would be cariously handicapped in competing with rivals who got thair labour cheaper. The La Fol letto Aot proposes to surmount thin obstacle to better conditions on American ships by compelling virtually all foreign ships to come up to our standard. Obvious ly that would be a fine thing to do; but can it possibly be done? In view of the very small fraction of world's shipping un- der the American flag, can we fix the conditions for the world's shipping? It looks exceedingly doubiful, In view of
