GLOOMY FUTURE Scotland's Shipyards Have Little Work Ahead- Glasgow, I'eb, 18.—The immediate position and outlook in the ship- bullding industry are exceedingly grave, according to John Barr, presi- dent of the Shipbuilding Employers’ Federation, In an article in the In- dustrial Review of the Glasgow Herald, The work in hand, where there is any, is approaching comple- tlon and there is little and in many shipyards nothing, to fill up empty berths, says Mr. Barr. The orders obtainable are taken by bullders with out hope of profit; in many cases tender prices make only part provi- sion and in some cases no provision for establishment charges. Such a condition of affairs, Mr. Barr adds, can not continue in- definitely, nor even for ‘much longer, The fecling actuating shipbuilders gencrally has been to carry on as best they can, and in doing so they are considering the interests of the workman rather more than those of the shareholders.
