Condtilons of Working. ` "The conditions under which the Industry has to soll its product, namely, carrying services, are one sea which in international trade fa open to ships of all flags, one inter- national freight market, (British) national ports open to ships under all flags, and no State protection of the industry. It is thus exposed to the free competition of the world.” The Chamber of Shipping in its evidence before the Committee on Industry and Trade described in these terms the conditions under which the British shipping indus- try operates. Those are two main systems under which cargoes are carried-the liner services, and the chartering of "tramps."
