break his land well and then put

OPENHAGEN* — Danish ship,
building yards seem to havo safe-
v 'weathered tho post-war trade
says the Scandinavian Shipping
Gazette.
Tho yards have como through
the crisis very well, principally
owing to the consolidation policy
w.kich has been followed. With
the placing of new orders, th®
yards are able to ‘ work ’ mpra or
less independently again. • They
are nil busy,* and a few of them
aro booked up. Unemploybent has
benefited accordingly. j
The yard workers, earlier In*
the year, voluntarily agreed to re
ductions in wages In prdor to make , i
It possible for the yard shipbuild- l
