that the Union Iron Works people were not
successful In securing one of the new bat
tle-ships to build. 1t is still hoped there
will be some way found clear to enable the
contract to be awarded TO them. While the
yard has not been successful in obtaining a
cruiser or even a little gunboat to build our

been built at San Francisco has been the
means OF giving a vast amount OF labor to
the yard, and this means thousands and
thousands of dollars distributed in our
homes. The class OF work that has been
done on them has been a valuable school OF

equipped with machinery and necessary
buildings for housing il it only remains
for Congress 10 appropriate the money and
order to build there and ship will be
turned out that for workmanship cannot be
excelled.
