V ni R2WS AND OBSERVER FRIDAY; MORNING, MAY 7,. 1920. WTAGEOFSHIPS limits ii Labor Troubles And High Costs . Delay Return Of Vessels To Lines Of Travel ; X. T. Eveaiag Pod. It teems that Europe ia aot, after '"11, b invaded by a vast hrmy of Amerieaa toarists thia summer. Re ports that tbe traaatlaatia liaers r all booked (or monthi to eoae and that watil tk cad of July tko only chance foe paeeeager lies ia a cancellation nave M to im melief that aa aupre eodcated raah ia aa. Bat tha Nautical Gasette, after making inquiries from tho rmseetger departmente of tha vanout liaee. sanoancts that the annaiptloa is without fouadatian. Difficulty Ia obtaining aeeommodatioae might bo duo to aa iaercaeed demand naa it might be tho result of a reduced eupply. The key to tha present tituatioa Jiet ia the fact that tha Mailable liaer toaaage for taking paseesgvre to tha other aide is lone thaa half what it wat Ja pre, war year. The shortage vat partially canted ly the destructioa of shipping while tha tubmarine were waging war uare atriotod warfare, aad it has Wen augmented by the fact that much liner .tonnage which eurrlred tho war ia not ewjf shape for service. Many of the biggest saipe oa tha ocean are with held, awaiting conversion from trunn ebipe iato passenger tonnage. It will bo twelve, month, or more before the Iviathan will tail oat of tho Hadton with a Earopeaa passenger litt. The aeit three largest thipt . afloat, the Imperator, tha Olympic aad tha Aquit aaia are out of service at the present lime, although they are expected to he ploughing through the North Atlaatie tbia Maimer. The combined grof fan- age of thsoa lour veetelo is 1S2j7 tons, or. equal to the tuaaage of twenty ahipe which would be considered big, even judged by the standard of to tier. '- ' The unrest la the world is also held responsible for the fact that eiiatiug tttteage ia out of service. In almost every large port eBeJcacy. bf operatlona hs been interrupted liy strikes and threats of strikes, an 1 la many eases ships hare been tied up fr long periods. A harbor strike at Totterdsui has hcea ta progress fur two months, end not aince the Mieuw Amsterdam cleared oa February Slat, lias the Holland America tine aad a sail ing out of New York. Thia liaer, to gether with tb Bottcrdam aad the . fteordam, are held by the trouble in )ho Rhine port. Four itoata of the Ornish Lino are tied p at Copenhagen by a harbor strike. During one week , his years ago, twenty-eerea transatlan tic liners tailed from New York, la tUe corresponding week thie year there tare but tea tailings with lest than oat IMrd ti much gross toaaage. Tha ev- ,mrre number of passengers per ship l:i'd increased, ho we vet from 444 la 1914 ta I .OCT la 1020. ' 7s The Idea of .a tourist movemcat ta Europe ia agula disproved by the per 'nnel of tbe ,vot!.lh passengers. Must of these going hver, according 19 srcrmthip men, are business people l.r travf'ere f.iklpg to combine busl MJ h pleasure; Others are going P visit relatiout from whom they h.-.rc teea carried by the vyir. Al iawt alraya it -it either butlaeea ia rrosls 'or family tlm which it taking tli.'m to Vm ttiher side. Begirding tho prospects of aa ta- en-am lu ( . oa tbe aorth Atlea I'.o the lc.Uf is that it will only be laermted slonty. The thlpyarda are handicapped by the labor troubles, while everything that goet iato the ' suaatug of aa ocean liaer ia high ia price aad dlfiicult to get. But while the Increase of tonnage wil be slow it 411 be constant, is the eacoiiraglng prediction. Practically all the big linet have building programmes ia process of development aad some of the largest ships afloat wil soon be in aorvire agaia. The situttioa will not be helped by coattructioa ia oor owa eouatry, at the nineteen riaeuger ves sels contracted for by the Shipplag Hoard will probably be used oa the facile aad la the South American trade.
