Whether owners. of river steamers can afford to pay wages on the scale demanded by the Guilds is doubtful, as there is no question that their earnings are precarious and their margin of profit very small.
As regards coasters of 2,000 tons to 3,000 tons deadweight capacity | which have been earning anything from $7 to $10 per month on their: deadweight during the whole of this year and likely to earn as much in the next, it is ridiculous to say owners cannot afford to pay the increases demanded by the Guilds and that they will be forced to lay up the ships.
Can you imagine the owner of a 3,000-ton ship which brings in
month lay her up for even a day when the increases demanded by the Guilds do not at the most entail an additional expense of $600 to $700 per month?
As regards the statement made by the Shipowners Protection Association of Hongkong that ali .shipowners have been losing money this year, to put it mildy this is an untruth, as any local. shipping man can tell you that owners of British steamers on the China Coast have not had a better year since 1916.
I may mention incidentally that with the possible exception of three or four ships, all the steamers owned by the S.P.A would have been laid up or broken up in pre-war days,
