CLYDE SHIPPING,
For the first quarter of the year, between 60,000 and 70,000 tons of merchant shipping have been launched on the Clyde, and although these figures show a very considerable decrease as compared with pre-war totals, it must be remembered that the industry has not yet been com- pletely changed from war con- ditions. Shipbuilders have to work off naval contracts, while, a large volume of labour is being absorbed in "the carrying out of very extensive repairs and in the reconstruction of vessels engaged on naval work for employment for mercantile purposes. So far very little has been done in the way of laying down vessels for private owners, as considerable contracts have still to be worked off for the construction of standard vessels. Builders have
many contracts for liners and other merchant vessels. many of which, however, are only of a provisional nature. Anyway prc- spects for work in the yards for a long period are very favourable.
THE STRAITS SHIPPING CRISIS.
The case for the ships officers and engineers in local waters was stated to a representative of the Pinang Gazette recently, in the course of an interview. It was stated ththe demand was for an all-round rise of 50 per cent..

The increase in wages of the officers and engineers of the British Mercantile Marine had been over 200 per cent, which was not the case of officers and engineers serving in local waters." The increased cost of living fell heavily on them ..26 on anybody else, as most of them were married and had wives and children ashore, to house and to feed, and the unmarried men could pot marry on the present scale of wages. The owners had offered a new scale of wages the affecting Masters, but officers were holding out for a standard wage for Masters of $500 per month. On this point and in regard to the demand for an all-round increase, with Home Leave, the officers and the engineere' societies were sticking to their demands, and it was their intention to enforce the granting of these demands, if necessary, by a strike."
