Pick DUTCH CUTTING IN ON BRITISH WORK Latter Worried as Building of Own Ships Is Taken Over by Holland. BY LEOPOLD ALETRINO. )| By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. AMSTERDAM, February 13.—“One man’s gain is another man's loss,” and the serious crisis in British ship- building has meant a boom for the Dutch “industry. 'In the last few months 16 contracts for bullding ships for Great Britain have been placed with Holland. Recently the government of the Dominion of Newfoundland placed an order for a 2,500-ton steamer with a Rotterdam shipbuilding company, the New Waterway. And another or- der has been given to the Schiedam Shipyard to build a 2,300-ton tank steamer. The lowest British bid was much above the figure quoted by the Dutch firm, and no British firm was pre- pared to guarantee delivery of a ship within seven months. The North England Steamship Own- ers' Assoclation has appointed a com- mission to investigate the causes of the ever-increasing Dutch competi- tion, which the British are facing. The uneasiness of the British owners is understood here, but, it is pointed out, conditions in the Dutch ship- building industry are misunderstood in England, as the Dutch industry is | not kept alive by large subsidies. British Labor Blamed. The reasons why the British yards are losing work and Holland is go- ing ahead, are more far-reaching. Unemploynient in the Holland ship- building industry is only 10 per cent, while in England it is 31.4 per cent. The fact that the British trade unfons are putting forward demands for higer wages—boilermakers are asking for an additional 10 shillings a week and engineers for an extra pound—is considered here to be the main reason why the Dutch yards are beating the British yards in open competition. Raw material is no cheaper in Hol- land, but the trade unions’ rules are less rigid, and there is less friction between employers and employed Also working hours are longer in Holland.

U. S. MEMORIES ALIVE Trinity Has Pictures of Graduates Who Played Roles in Early American History. Correspondence of the Associated Press. OXFORD, England, January 20.— Stlar Norton's house, where Willlam Penn preached one of his unpopular sermons in 1687, has recently been de- molished. Penn was at that time In Oxford only as a visitor. He entered as a student at Christ Church College at the age of 16, but was very shortly. expelled for his religious opinions. Thomas Lowe, who induced Penn to become a Quaker, was for a good many years an Oxford resident. Penn's old college, by way of amends, has his portrait hung con- spicuously in fits hall. As the Pil- grim divines were chiefly Cambridge men, Oxford, not to be outdone, makes the most of all its American connections. Lord Baltimore is still without a memorial In his old col- lege, Trinity, but as Trinity has por- traits of two of its students well- known In American history, Willlam Pitt, who won the continent, and Lord North who lost half of it, the college feels satisfied. el Little mirrors were used as peri- scopes in a crowd at a celebration in England. DISCOURAGE COLLECTORS Total of 63,000 for All Nations Shown by Investigations of German Publishers. Correspondence of the Associated Press. LEIPSIZ, January 10—There are now 63,000 different varieties of post- age stamps extant in the world, of which 23,000 are credited to Europe and 40,000 to the other continents, ac- cording to the publishers of one of the best known stamp catalogues of Germany. Within the past two years 4,000 new stamps were issued by the various governments of the world. This enormous increase in postage stamp production has made collectors despair of ever %obtaining anything like a complete collection of existing stamps, and the special collection has given place to the general collection. Before the inflation period one saw many rare old American stamps in German dealers’ windows. These | have now disappeared almost en- | tirely, for American dealers and ! stamp collecting visitors bought them | when the German mark was cheap. —_— The metric system of weights and measures was originated in France the latter part of the eighteenth cen- tury.
