SECRETARY LONGS OBJECTION
SAYS WARsHIPS BUILT AT NAVY
YARDS COST TOO MUCH.

Washington, March 20-Secretary |
Long has officially declared his oppo-
sition to the scheme of building war
ships at navy yards. His impressions.
as communicated to the House Naval
Committee, where the matter is under
consideration, is that such work per-
formed at government plants costs
twice as much and takes twice as long
as when done under contract at pri-
vate establishments. He says the rec
ords will sustain him in his position.
He further says
In the first place. l think 1t is not
desirable to introduce into our navy
yards something which is not perma-
nent and continuous. There is a great
desire among the laboring men in our
navy yards that we shall build these
ships In them. but that will not in
crease the general employment at all,
because IL the labor is not employed
In the yards IL will be employed out
side. think. too, that there is more
danger of a navy yard becoming a fac
tor in politics II the number of en-
plOyes is so largely increased as IL
would be II shipbuilding were added to
repairing
III we build ship at New York
we must build one at Norfolk. and there
will be pressure TO build one at Boston
and one at Mare Island and one at
Philadelphia and one at Port Royal and
Key West and Portsmouth. Then will
follow a demand for new buildings, ma
chinery, plants. etc II you start a ship
at one Of these places you must en-
ploy a great many men. and as soon as
Is is finished all these must be dis
charged, and there is more trouble, es-
lpecially for you. On the other hand. in
the business Of repairing ships there Is
Irregular. steady employment 7 really
think It is a great deal better In the in
lterest OF labor as it is."
Representative Metcah. a member OF
the committee. suggested that perhaps
lat least some OF the smaller vessels
might be built az navy yards. Secretary
Hong pointed out that there would bs
lenough repair work to furnish steady
employment al those places and ever
when il came to making repairs he be-
lievcd that such work az our nav,
z lizards costs more even than II we wen

TITS terrible" said Senator Sor.

Well, IL you admit having given the

Not an epigram in the whole business
Not a flashing sally of satire. nor bit

The man that interviewed me before
put all those things in and folks were
talking about it for week after. But
this chap wrote every word down

tell you, IL has taught me a lesson.
won't be so confiding another time.
The next time anybody tries to inter-

him beforehand. Ill make dead sure
that he understands his business ami
