WASHINGTON GUN FOUNDRY.
An Abundance Of Work That Will Last
Long Time.

An Abundance Of Work That VIII Last
Long Time.
The prospects are good for a steady run
of work at the Washington gun foundry for
a long time to come, in execution of the
legislation enacted at the last session of
Congress for the armament Of the three
new battle ships and of the auxiliary cruis-
ers Of the navy. Arrangements have been
beginning this important work with as lit
tie delay as possible. Attention will he first
given to the manufacture Of guns for the
vessels of the auxiliary navy. the number
Of which now under subsidy Is thirty-three.
1t Is estimated that 1t will require. to arm
these vessels in accordance with the ap-
proved project Of the Navy Department
the following number and character of
guns: $50 4-inch guns IS 5-inch guns Snd
20 6-inch rapid-fire guns.
Nearly Half a Million Available.
1t is contemplated to complete this COM
plement as rapidly as the conditions will
permit. but the limited appropriation. the
character Of the work and the capacity of
the gun plant necessitate its prosecution
by degrees. There Is available for begin
ming this work the sum of $4O0, 900, appro-
priated by the last Congress. and with this
money a good substantial beginning will
be made toward putting the best ships of
our merchant marine on q quasi war foot
ing.
Proposals Invited.
To this end advertisements have been is
sued by the ordnance bureau Of the Navy
Department for a supply Of forgings suf-
ficient for the manufacture Of twenty four
inch guns and their mounts thirty-five five
inch guns and mounts. and eight six-inch
rapid-fire guns and mounts. Proposals have
been also invited for a supply of forgings
for the batteries of the three new battle
ships authorized by the last Congress- with
the exception Of the twelve thirteen-inch
guns Forty-two six-inch guns are required
for these big ships.
Bids for these forgings will be opened
at the Navy Department on the Sd OF
August and the successful bidders will be
required to begin their deliveries within
thirty days from the date Of the execution
of the contract.
Steady Work for Present Force.
Although all the work connected with the
manufacture of these guns and mounts
will be done at the Washington gun foun-
dry 1t Is not likely that there will be any
Increase in the working force, inasmuch as
it is nearly UP to the limit at present. The
new work. however. will insure steady en-
ployment for the present force Of artisans
and skilled laborers for the remainder of
the fiscal year.

even more stringent rates for money on
