EDITORIALS — FEATURES — Shipbuilders’ Freight Claim The Pacific coast shipbuilders are faced with the prob- lem of trying to compete with Atlantic and Japanese yards on the new post-war competitive basis. . The old day of “anything for ships” is over, The coast) yards must stand or fall on their ability to compete with _ others. ] The present freight rate on steel—fixed by the gov-| % iment—does not allow competition. ALL THE COAST SHIPYARDS HAVE FORMED A} ‘RA’ C ASSOCIATION TO WORK TOWARD BRING- NG DOWN THOSE FREIGHT RATES. The headquarters the Pacific Coast Shipbuilders’ Traffic association is at) 4 Montgomery st., San Francisco, L. R.
