A conference took place at the Trades Hall at.Melbourne last week between representatives of the- various unions connected with shipping, including shipbuilder and icpoJvers to consider a proposal to form a new shipping federation. It is proposed that the new federation shall be distinct from the Waterside Workers' Federation, but that both organisations should act in conjunction in matters affecting the employees in the shipping industry generally.

AMERICAN SHIPBUILDING. How shipbuilding has increased in the United States on account of tonnage lost di.ring the war, says the San Francisco "Chronicle," is shown by the fact that new capital aggregating more than 1.55.OCO.OM dollars has been inTcsted in shipbuilding companies . during the past 30 months. Investments in shipbuilding plants have- been growing steadily since the betrinning of the war, and promise to continue. For tho lire months of 1914 after the war broke out the investment of new capital was only 1.848.000 dollars, while in 1915 now investments reached 37 662,000 dollars. In 1916 tho investment amounted to 69,466,000 dollars, while during the first, three months of the (present year it alrefldy has readied 46,225.000 dollars. To put it, another w<l y. during tho 90 days from January 1, .1917, tho investment of new capil.iil in shipbuilding lias been about 25 per cent, more than during 1915.

The Eunice is dun to-morrow From Wangamii. She also sails to-morrow, takiuxr CH2O for Timarn,,

The Orepuki left Lyttellon yesterday, and is due this morning with 350 tons of general cargo. She is fixed to leave today for Tiinaru direct, and will receive cargo until 4 p.m. lor ■that port.

The Auckland "Star" states that the bcow Uuei'ct put into Onchunga on Friday last, it was understood, in a. leaking condition. She was bound from Kaipara to Greymouth with n cargo of rails.

The departure of the Wavorley for l'atea on her first trip since undergoing overhaul anil alteration was to have been made yesterday, but the vessel will not leave till to-day. Hr. D. A. Jiuttler, who has been acting as branch mauager for tho Union Steam Ship Company at Kurotonga, was visiting Wellington yesterday. The Koutumii is due from the East Coast to-morrow, and is to take in a cargo of coal here for Tokomaru Bay. Tho Kaxiimu was late leaving Lyttelton, and is duo here to-day. Consequently, her departure has been postponed, and she is now to leave hero to-day for New Plymouth.

The Kamo arrived at Greymouth at 10.30 a.m. yesterday, and it is hoped to set her out of that port to-day with a full cargo of coal for Wellington.

Tho Paten- Press speaks in terms of praise of the work being done by the new dredge. It says that aa soon s<3 the back of the- dredging operations in the river is broken, there ehoull be little or no difficulty experienced by the board in keeping the channel at the required depth There is very little doubt that the recent acquisition is the best bargain the board has over made. An Auckland exchange states that two enlarged photographs have been received by the Auckland office of the New Zealand Shipping Company, and these are to bo hung in the Auckland office. One is of the late Captain Smith, and Iβ inscribed fls follows:—"Captain Arohibald I). Smith, who was in command of the e.g. Otaki, and who wa-s killed fighting a German raider. March. 1917." The other photoffTaph is ono of a New Zealand Shipning Company's liner nassinpt through the Panama Canal. It is described as one of the finest pictures of tho canal that has ever come to Auckland. The spot at which tho nhotogranh was taken was the famous Culebra Cut.
