THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND. JANUARY 2, 1921 21 mmm oiitp t INCREASES SIXFOLD n . y55 f Industry Now Ranks 15th United States. GROSS TONNAGE DOUBLED American Merchant Marine Vessels Have Carrying Capacity Slightly .Less Than Third of World. The annual output of American shipyards has increased sixfold in six years, and the shipbuilding Industry during this period has risen from j fifth position among: the industries of the country for the value of output, to fifteenth position, according to an article entitled "American Shipbuild ing Present and Feture, appearing in the January issue of Marine En gineering. Extracts from the article follow: "A comparison of shipbuilding with ur other national Industries gives a.n Idea of its enormous expansion. In 1914 the total value of the output of the industries of Iron and steel and their products was 13,223.144,000, of which shipbuilding was approximate ly t per cent. The present estimated value of the annual output of the iron and steel industries is 16.500.000.000, of which shipbuilding is approxi mately 15 per cent. Industry ott Ranks Fifteenth. "In 1914 shipbuilding, with a total Talue of output of 188,682.000. ranked fifty-eighth among the industries of the United States. The construction now under way places shipbuilding in about fifteenth position, surpassing such industries as leather, furniture, chemicals, paper and wood pulp, agri cultural implements, silk and sugar. The steel merchant tonnage now under construction for private ac count (approximately 1,500.000 gross tons) Is over six times the average pre-war output of eteel merchant vessels (235,000 gross tons annually), and la approximately three and one half times our best annual output prior to the war (450.017 gross tons of steel ships in 1908). "On September 1, 1920. there were under construction 2.463.314 gross tons of steel merchant vessels. Of these. 1.43S.49S gross tons were for private account and 1,024,816 gross tons were for the United States ship ping board. On September 15, 1920. there were under construction for private account steel vessels aggre gating 1.449.S59 gross tons. This was practically the same as the' private account tonnage under construction July 1, 1920, new orders having re placed the tonnage delivered. This indicates that shipbuilding should continue for the next year or two at a minimum of approximately 1,500.000 gross tons annually. Merchant Marine Toniucr Doubled. "The tonnage of our merchant ma rine has more than doubled durin'J the past six years, and our present tonnage is over 16,000,000 gross tons, slightly less than one-third the total world tonnage. The tonnage now un der construction will bring this total UP to approximately 19,000.000 gross tons by July 1. 1921. Our foreign commerce has also increased enor mous, and the percentage of our foreign commerc-3 carried in Ameri can ships has increased in even greater proportion. In 1914 the pro portion of American tonnage to the total tonnage entering and clearing United Stales ports was 26 per cent, while during the first six months of 1920 this had jumped to 60 per cent. "That a minimum annual output of 1.500. 000 gross tons of steel merchant vessels is a conservative estimate is borne out by the following: By July 1. 1921. our merchant marine will ag gregate approximately 19,000,000 gross tons. Assuming the average life of a ship to be 20 years, there will be re quired annually for the upkeep only of our merchant fleet 5 per cent of this tonnage, or approximately 950.- vvv gross tons. Actual replacements will undoubtedly bt much larger, in asmuch as a large nan of our present merchant marine 'is composed of wooden ships. Prosperity of Industry Assured. "The orders for merchant vessels already placed despite present high costs assure the prosperity of the shipbuilding industry during 1921. "All present Indications arc that the American shipbuilding industry "111 enjoy still greater prosperity in future yeans. Reconstruction in Europe has hardly begun, and European manufacturers arc not able to meet domestic demands, to say nothing of foreign orders. When foreign ex change returns to a normal basis the resultant demand for American goods throughout the world will lead to a vast increase in our foreign trade and an Increased demand for hips. Still more ships will be needed to care for future foreign trade. "A considerable amount of new construction for foreign account can aio be expected as soon as exchange rates become normal. Plans for a number of these ships have been drawn in this country. At present the greater part of our merchant flee: is composed of new vessels, some of which were built when quantity of tonnage was more urgent than quality. As these ships grow older an Increase in repairs and more fre quent replacement will be necessary in order to keep our merchant marine In shape to meet foreign competition." GRAIN CARRIER IS U WAY or egian Steamer Hermion to niehurpe at Norfolk First. The NurwoRlan steamship Hermion, under charter to Kerr. Gifford & Co. to carry wheat from Portland to Europe, is reported to have passed Gibraltar December 17 en route from Marseilles to Norfolk, Va. She will come around to the Columbia river after discharging; at Norfolk. The only other vessel known to have been chartered for grain loading here is the British steamer Orient City, which has been fixed by E. A. Strauss & Co. This vessel is rtow on her way up the coast from the Pana ma canal and Is expected here next Friday. HI TLER AGAIN RAMS BRIDGE 6tern-Vheeler 1'm Empty Barge to Batter Draw Rest. The stern-w heel steamer Hustler apparently has a grudge of tome kind against the Portland bridges, for she im continually trying to shove them out of the river. Her latest exploit oc curred Thursday afternoon, when shfc bumped an empty barge which she was pushing down the stream against the Burnside bridge draw rest, dent ing the barge and breaking fender Files. Early last September Captain Thomas P. Campbell, master of the Hustler, covered himself with glory and narrowly escaped destruction when his vessel smashed her pilot- ARTISTIC SNAPSHOT OF STEAMER ALASKA PASSING THROUGH JACK-KNIFE SPAN OF BROADWAY BRIDGE. Angelus Photo. The steamer Alaska Is the latest addition to the passenger fleet operating from Portland. She was recently placed on the coastwise run by the San Francisco & Portland Steamship company, as fleet mate of the steamer Rose City, and is considered the finest passenger boat now serving this city. She was purchased by her present owners from the Alaska Steamship company, who had been operating her in the trade between Alaska and Puget sound. The vessel was built in 1S89 at Chester, Pa., by the Delaware River company, as the, steamer Kansas City, and Is still used by this company to illustrate advertisements in trade magazines. The Rose City end Alaska are now maintaining a schedule of a sailing every five days from Portland to San Francisco, and it is rumored that a third passenger boat will be placed on the run before the end of this year. house against the steel bridge. On this occasion Captain Campbell stuck to the wheel until the last moment trying to avoid the crash and then saved his life by diving through the window just aa the cabin was smashed to splinters. The accident Thursday was caused by the swift current In which the Hustler was maneuvering to avoid a barge of the Pacific Telephone & Tel egraph company, upon which work men were making repairs to a sub marine cable. COOLCUA ARR1VKS AT ASTORIA Third of Pacific Motorstilp Fleet .May Come to Portland. Marking the third arrival in the Columbia river of a vessel of her fleet within two weeks, the motor ship Coolcha of the Pacific Motor ship company put Into Astoria Friday night and is expected to load lumber at Portland for the west coast of South America, though no loading or ders for the vessel have been issued as yet. The Coolcha is one of eight motor- ships operated in the South American west coast trade by the W. E. Comyn interests of San Francisco. She is follow'ng in the wake of the Booby- alla and Culburra. The Boobyalla arrived here Decem ber 15 from west coast ports, and the Culburra came in a day later. The Boobyalla took a part cargo from the Columbia river and went to Puget sound to finish, while the Culburra is loading a full cargo here for South America. RIVER SCHEDULE WITHDRA VY. Arrangement-. Made With Oil Com pany Cause Last-Minute Change. Arrangements made at the last moment by the Harkins Transporta tion company with the oil companies caused the withdrawal Friday night by the Harkins line of a new schedule announced earlier in the day. Ar rangements had been completed to withdraw the steamer Madeline from the Astoria-Portland run and to op erate the steamer Qeorgiana only on the one-way trip each day. Instead of the round trip. With sufficient fuel oil assured, however, to operate all vessels for the time being, the Oeorgiana will continue her dally round trips to Astoria, and the steamers Eurline and Madeline will alternate, so that a day boat and a night boat to Astoria every day will be provided. Schooner to Carry Lumber. Charter of another sailing vessel to carry lumber from the Columbia river was announced yesterday In advices from San Francisco. The vessel is the schooner Carrier Dove, a four masted wooden sailer built in 1S90 at Port Blakely. Wash. She has been chartered to her owner. J. J. Moore, at a figure not made public. The Car rier Dove was formerly a frequent visitor at Portland. She was last re ported as arriving at Melbourne De cember 1 from Fort Bragg. She has a lumber carrying capacity of 925,000 feet.

Will Make No Change in Pay of Old Employes. All new employes engaged by the Northwest Bridge A Iron company, beginning Monday morning, will be paid S cents an hour less than the present scale, it was announced yes terday by W. R. Bowles, a director of the company. This reversion to the old Macy scale, adopted bythe shipping board as the wage for ship yard employes, will not affect the present employes of the yard as long as they remain, Mr. Bowles said, and the confpany has no intention at re ducing the pay of present employes. In addition to the obvious reduc tion in operating cod, this move is expected to increase the efficiency of the plant by providing a further in centive for skilled workmen to re main at their tasks. A man taking a voluntary law-off or one discharged for cause. Mr. Bowles explained, will be re-engaged only as a new em ploye and will receive the reduced pay, while workmen absent because of sickness will be continued on the payroll and will not be affected by the cut in wages. The G. M. Standifer Construction corporation at Vancouver, according to R. V. Jones, general superintend ent of the plant, has made no plans for a reduction of any kind in wages.

Doyle, assistant secretary of the Port of Portland. In 1913, the last normal year before the war in Europe. Portland's exports were val ued at $14,445,715. The lowest figure in recent years was reached in 1916, when the value of exports from Portland fell to 506,919. For the year just ended exports moving from this city were valued at 861.413.272. according to official government figures for 11 months and an estimate for the month of December made from records kept by the Merchants' Ex change of export declarations filed at the cuatoma house. sound. 6 P.

INVASION MARKS NEW ERA Shipments of Oregon Product to Southern States Made Possible by Higher Railroad Rates. Charter of the steamar Valdes to carry a full cargo of flour from Port land to Jacksonville, Fla., was re ported yesterday, and confirmation of the fixture Is expected with the re sumption of business Monday. The steamer Valdez. which called here just before Christmas with freight from San Francisco, is now on Puget sound and it is anticipated that she will come here for loading within a few days. The cargo of flour t be taken by this vessel should amount to about 3000 long tons and will be the first flour to go from Portland to Jack sonville by water. This will be the second shipment of flour from Port land to the south by the all-water route, as the steamer Hawaiian, of the American-Hawaiian line, sailing from here late in November, carried 16.738 barrels of flour for Charleston, S. C. The invasion of the southern ter ritory by Oregon flour marks a new era for Portland millers, as that sec tion of the country has heretofore de rived practically all of its flour from the eastern and middle-western states by rail. The placing of flour from this section in the southern ports competition with that from other producing territory which is much closer geographically has been made passible only by the recent advances railroad freight rates. By taking advantage of the less expensive water transportation, local millers are thus enabled to establish an entirely new outlet for their product. Small shipments of flour have oc casionally moved' from Portland to southern states to satisfy a demand for the cheaper products milled from soft wheat, but the movement has never been on such a scale as is in dicated by the chartering of a vessel for a full cargo. STEAMER ARRIVES AT HA AYAH City of Topeka Will Be Put Into Inter-Island Service. HO.VOL.UL.U. T. H., Jan. 1. (Spe cial.)
