The Baltimore and Ohia, Railroad Com- pany has just adopted a system of giving out contracts, at least so far as their new Work for water transportation is con- cerned, that is not only a revolution in the manner of transacting their own bus- iness in that department, but may lead to a revival of the almost defunct shipbutld- ing industry of Baltimore. According to statements made to a Star reporter, the receivers of the B. and 0. determined some time since to have built ten large barges, the cost of which would not be less than $50,000, and provosals for the construction of the boats were in- vited from a number of shipyard owners, among tnem being Messrs. William Skin- ner & Sens of Baltimore. As a matter of fact the receivers were anxious that the work to be given out by them should be performed in Baltimore, but it was out of the question to have this done unless Baltimore parties were the lowest bidders. An investigation of the subject showed that in the Baltimore ship yards what is known as skilled labor alone has been em- ployed in vessel corstruction, the wages averaging $2.75 a day. The northern yards make a distinction, employing skilled work- men and laberers. A group of five or six laborers, who receive $1 or $1.25 a day, are placed under the supervision of a skilled workman, who earns $2.50 or $2.75 a day, and this group, under careful and watch- ful guidance, Is said to be capable of turn- ing out satisfactory work of the rouger kind. It will be seen how greatly this dif- ference between $1 a day for the majority of the men employed in a northern yard and $2.75 a day for skilled workmen em- ployed in the Baltimore yards has operated against local firms in bidding on contracts. When the large B. and O. contract was about to be given out, Messrs. William Skinner & Sons Getermined, if possible, to secure the work for Baltimore, but it was first necessary to reach a satisfactory agreement h their men, who were con- nected with labor organizations and gov- erned by their laws. The firm, it is said, held a conference w'th the men and placed the entire matter before them. They stated that under existing methods they were not Mkely to secure the contract against north- ern competition, but could do so wiih the co-operation of the men, proposing to work somewhat on the plan of the northern yards. This propcsition was carefully con- sidered by the men and submitted to their organization. It was determined to try the experiment in Baltimore, and upon the strength of that decision the firm made a successful bid for the work. The gen features of the New England plan, s understood, will be fellowed, with prob- ably some modifications, to meet local con- ditions. The experiment will be with considerable interest, not only by workingmen, but by other shiph: firms, as_upon its success may larseiy pend ‘a revival and boom of work in Balti- more’s ship yards. Use of Barges. The rapid inclination recently of whe use of barges toward coastwise trade has ex- cit considerable discussion in marine cles generally, as for several years there has been a decided drift toward the con- struction of barges for this trade. For this preference several reasons are given. The principal argument fs to the ef- fect that it is cheaper to construct a barge and that no skilled crew is required to nav- igate it. The second reason is because a barge can usually carry at least three times as much freight as one of the schooners, which have hitherto monopolized almost ail of the coastwise trade The barges as now constructed carry coal, sugar, oil and general merchandise from point ‘to point along the seaboard in tow of tugs, and deliver the cargoes with absolute safety. Within the past few years barges have been utilized frequently by the leading shippers, and they bid fair to run the familiar schooner of other days out of the business. It is by no means unusual to hear ship- ping men say that the schooner will be- come as scarce as the Baltimore clipper, which at one time ruled the sea. The re- sult of the barge development will be to drive out of the coastwise trade many of ihe skippers who, in older days, usel to practically reign supreme along the coast. Relatively, the change will injure the trade as far as the men go, for it will remove one of the mediums by which mariners were trained into the mysteries and pecu- Harities of the Americar. coast. An instance of how the barge trade is growing in importance is the fact that a schooner-barge was recently launched at Path, Me., the Cimensions of which were as follows: Length, feet; beam, 43 feet; depth, 19 feet. The capacity of this barge is set at 3,000 tons of coal. The cabin will be forward instead of aft, an innovation in the construction of such craft. >— Sound Money and Protection. Correspondence of The Evening Star. LURAY, Page County, Va., Sept. 24, 1896. “Sound money and protection” is posted on almost every crossroad and store in the county, and farmers are willing to leave the field at any time to listen to an explanation of either side of the currency question. With the currency question, however, must be an explanation of the tariff, as the peo- ple here are as deeply interested in the tariff question as in the currency. Court meets here next Monday, and Chairman Holtzman of the republican county com- mittee hae arranged for a large mass meet- ing of voters. Those who will deliver ad- dresses are Robert J. Walker, candidate for Congress; Col. 8. Brown Allen and Judge P. W. Strother. Tomorrow night William N. Fairless of Pertsmouth will address a republican meet- ing here. Chairman Holtzman is an en- thusiastic worker in the republican cause and has arranged for the holding of a num- ber of meetings in Page valley between now and November. The announcement that the Virginia Free and Old Family Journal of Charleston, W. Va., had celebrated ite elghty-fifih birth- Gay by declaring for Palmer and Buckner is pleasing to the republicans tn this sec- tion, for this, it is thought, insures this county to McKinley, and will also prove an able assistant to the republican cause in this state. —— Hearing Postpon The hearing in the matter of the libels recently filed against the steamboat John Sylvester was postponed by Judge Cox to- day until next Wednesday. persona afflicted with dy ia find imme- aiate penek ey asing Angostura Bitters, of Dr. J.
