INEFFICIENT LABOUR.
OPERATORS HESITATE TO BUILD WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. Mr J. P. Kennedy (chairman of the Maritime Commission), in his first annual report to Congress, alleged that Labour disputes were demoralising private and official efforts to expand the merchant marine. He took cognisance of the rivalry between the Committee of Industrial Organisations and the American Federation of Labour maritime unions, and asserts that private operators were hesitating to build ships because of the chaotic labour situation, in which slipshod performance of duties and strikes were characteristic. Builders’ hesitancy was not the most urgent problem facing tho • Commission.
