OneSaturday aftremoan a. Glasgow Evening News reporter visited Clydebank and end-ay. oured to obtila some informillan regarding a matter which has exuted a great deal of dir- cu'sian both at home and in the Taited States, namely, why the two gigantic nesan steamers the St Paul and the St Louis, of the American Line, should he laid us at Southampton for "Epairs, and why workwes to the number of Clyde, instead of the stermers going to their 500, should be sent for all the way to the birthplace, Palladel, hls, for those repater, and why Thames, Tyne, Teas, or Meirer maa were not called in to do the patching, not to manilon the importeilen af American work. men to do it? For a variety of sexrons, some of which were made plaints abvious, the reprezen- tatives of the ble Civdebank shipbuilding firm who supplied the men could not make any statement in the maiter, beyond that they bad sathfactorily completed the repairs which were necessary, and that these repairs were on a very extenilen scale..
