No action was taken on the labor question, the association preferring to wait to see what the Lake Carriers would do. The following officers were elected for the year: President, Edward Hines of Chicago; first vice president, W. H. Teare of Cleveland; second vice president, J. A. Calbick of Chicago; third vice president, R. C. Brittain of Saugatuck; secretary and treasurer, H. E. Run- nels. Board of managers: Messrs. F. W. Gilchrist, Henry McMorran, W. H. Teare, J. O.

It will be the second meeting of the association since it became an incorporated body. During that time it has worked very well indeed. As at last year's meet- ing, it is likely that the principal question to come before the Lake Carriers will be the labor question. There was a dis- position some time ago to eliminate this question altogether and to have owners treat wth the men aboard ship as in- dividuals. This has already been done in the case of the Pittsburg Steamship Co. and the masters, but the engineers, while individually willing to treat with that company, were counseled not to do so by the officials of the Marine Engineers' Beneficial association. It will therefore be necessary for the Lake Carriers' association to treat with the engineers as a body. The Seamen's union, which has been holding a convention in Cleveland during the present week, has appointed a com- mittee to meet with the Lake Carriers' association and it is likely that the season's schedule will be arranged between the executive committee of the Lake Carriers' association and the committee representing the Seamen's union. As far as can be gathered no trouble is to be anticipated in lining up for tne season of 1905. The vessel owners. both as individuals and as members of the Lake Carriers' association, are disposed to be reasonable, and desire to meet labor at least half way. The full report of the doings of the Lake Carriers' association will be published in the next issue of the Review. LENGTHENING LAKE FREIGHTERS The fact that vessel owners appreciate the changed con- ditions on the great lakes, projected by the 10,000-ton carriers, is well exemplified by the fact that they are giving orders freely for the lengthening of their freighters. Con- tracts have already been closed for the lengthening of seven vessels and it is quite likely that additional orders will be placed for the lengthening of others before the season is over. The ship yards are therefore crowded with new work and with the extensive repairs necessitated by cutting a modern steamer amidships and inserting a 72-ft. section in her. Last week Pickands, Mather & Co. of Cleveland gave an order to the American Ship Building Co. to have the barge Constitution lengthened 72 ft. She will be the first consort on the lakes to be so lengthened. The Constitution came out in 1897. When she goes into commission next spring she will be 451 ft. long and will be the longest barge on the lakes. She will be 5 ft. longer than the barge John Smeaton of the Pittsburg Steamship Co.'s fleet, but her carrying capacity will not be as great as the Smeaton's for she will have 6 ft. less beam. The work upon the Constitution will be done at the West Su- perior yard of the American Ship Building Co. where the steamer Victory will also be lengthened. Mr. Robert Logan, general manager of the company, is now at West Superior superintending the operations. The boats to be lengthened this winter are therefore the G. J. Grammer, S. S. Curry, City of Bangor, Sevona, L. C. Waldo, Victory and Constitution. With the exception of the Waldo which is to be lengthened at the Craig yard, Toledo, the work wil! all be done by the American Ship Building Co. It is reported that Mr. R. P. Schwerin of the Pacific Mail Steamship Co., San Francisco, has said that if the govern- ment breaks the contract between the Pacific Mail Steam- ship Co. and the Panama railroad it would be necessary for the Pacific Mail to withdraw its steamers from the Central American trade.
