The Export and Import Board of Trade of Baltimore affords a shining example of why New York is losing her forei-n and coastwise commerce while Baitimore Is forging ahead. In New York we are disposed to ‘ook ‘pon Baltimore as a slow, provincial ommunity, Let us sev if our impres- jon 18 well founded. Prior to 1917 Baitiihére followed the example of New York and other American ports by providing addi- tional dockage and warehouse facill- ties only when existing facilities were swamped. Up to that time the balk of harbor improvement in Baltimore had been done by the Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio and Western Maryland Railroads and the Canton Company, a private corporation, op- erating docks and warepfouses alony: the lines of the Bush Terminal Com- pany in New York. Municipal docks had been built and were under con- struction but there had been little planning for the future. HOW BALTIMORE IS BUILDING UP HER FOREIGN BUSINESS. The immense export Dusiness created by the war caused Baltimore business men to sit up and take no- tice. A little more than a year ago a number of the leading financiers of the city held a meeting and decided to launch a’ plan of harbor improve- ment which would take care of the needs of the port before these needs actually knocked at the deor, Out of this meeting grew the organiza- tion of the Export and Import Board of Trade. ‘This organization is not composed of men exclusively interested in shipping. It embraces in its mem- bership every lino of business in Baltimore. Austin McLanahan, the leading banker of the city, is Presi- dent, The object of the organization 1s to boom Baltimore's foreign and coastwise shipping because the growth of shipping benefits every line of industry in the community. Casting about for a man competent to conduct the new Organization the officers decided upon W. M. Brittain former Secretary of the American Steamship Association of New York. Mr. Brittain, his assistant, C. Wells Leitner, and the staff started to work last September, and in nine months they have put Baltimore on the foreign and coastwise trade map. Acting on data furnished by the Export and Import Board of Trade, the Maryland Legislature passed an equipped with all the lai vices for loading and unloading.

The boss stevedores are all white, and the officers of the union, which is com- posed ‘of negro and white laborers, vre also all white. WORKERS HELP BY REFUSING TO STRIKE. ‘The wage scaie here is 80 cents an hour, with $1.20 an hour for overtime and night work. The standard day is eight hours, Wages were recently increased after an amicable confer- ence between the stevedores’ union and the shipping intc.ests, The 4,000 longshoremen and 1,000 employees in the towing and lighterage ‘industry refused to strike in sympath: he N: York harbor wor! rs T gitators work up the and tie-ups in New York would meet with small success here, because 99 p it. of the harbor workers in more speak no language but micable relations between harbor workers and employ- in Baltimore are refreshin even astonishing to one familiar with conditions in New York. In 1913 only twelve lines of steam- ships, reaching only fifteen foreign ports, operated in and out of Balti- more Harbor. To-day twenty-nine steamship lines engaged in overseas service, operating 150 veseels and reaching more than fifty foreign ports in al) parts of the world, dock in Bal- timore.

Baltimo imports last year were valued at 79,000000. and her exports at 000,000. The coastwise re- sand shipments were much jeavier. Baijtimore’s growth as a port, to a ‘eat extent at the expense of New Fork, is shown in the following fig- ures: In the first three months of 1919, 871 registered foreign and coast- act @ short time ago empowering the City of Baltimore to issue bonds to the amount of $50,000,000 for harbor development, The bond issue !s sul ject to a referendum vote, but it is certain to be ratified by the people of Baltimore because the project js so framed that it will not cost a houses and other improvements on a rental basis at least equal to the sum of the annual interest on the expen- @iture and the annual sinking fund necessary to retire the bonds, At the conclusion of the leasing period the properties are to revert to the dity ‘and the rentals are to be turned Into the city treasury, BIG DEMAND FOR DOCK LEASES ALREADY IN EVIDENCE, Already the requests for leases as- sure that the construction projects will be snapped 2, as fast as they can be ed. ~The work will be pagiaeaioe timore is ‘port I have ever wise vessels, carrying 695,091 net tons, entered this port.
