TO UNLOAD ON UNCLE SAM.
An Alleged Syndicate For the Sale of
FIimsiIy Built yarshiDs.

An Alleged Syndicate For the Sale OF
Flimsily Built Warships.
Philadelphia, March S.-Charles H.
Cramp, head of the shipbuilding firm,
today declared that the widespread
talk Of Spain buying warships abroad
and the securing Of options on these
ships by the United States is part of a
scheme instigated by a syndicate of
adventurers. Their purpose, he said Is
to secure big commissions by helping
English and German shipbuilders to
unload on this government a number
of unsaleable vessels built either on
speculation or by contract with various
of the second rate powers that are not
able to pay for them.
Said Mr.. Cramp: THE total valua-
ton Of the ships involved in this deal
is about $15,OO000O. The commissions
which the speculative syndicate would
receive for disposng of them to the
United States would be about Is per
cent of the selling price, or s., 225 900 on
the whole lot"
Mr.. Cramp declined to divulge the
names Of the members of the syndi-
cate. but said it was composed of an
Anglo-Amerlcan combination embrac-
ing large manufacturing establish
ment In England, one Of the most
noted contract brokers in New York
city, and certain concerns engaged in
the manufacture OF ordnance materials
both in this country and abroad.
Mr.. Cramp added: "The shipbuild-
ing industry in England has been for
the past year or SO seriously crippled
by the great strike in the engineering
trades. They have been delayed in de-
livery of warships built for foreign
account far beyond the contract time,
and the ships have been thrown back
on their hands in some cases, or they
have been subjected to serious penal
ties in others. For these reasons 1t Is
a great object for them to unload on
the United States"
The ships in question, he continued,
are all cheaply and flmsily built and
none of them anywhere near the Amer
ican naval standard. either as to work.
fhanship or material.
