Bid, for Ship Contracts.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Never since
the birth of the new navy has there
been such gathering of ship builders
and metal kings as were assembled in
the Office of the secretary of the navy
to witness the opening of bids for an
amount of naval construction which
Secretary Long denominated as the
greatest industrial event this or any
other country had ever seen, involving
the placing of contracts for about $780,
100000. There were eight bidders, and
most of the bids were well within the
limit of the cost allowed by congress
for the ships. The notable feature was
the attempt on the part of younger and
smaller concerns to break the line of
the old organizations which have con-
structed all the vessels of the new
navy up to this time.

Chicago, Dec. 10.-Two-thirds of the
telegraph operators of the Santa Fe
are on Strike. President Ripley says
the men have broken their contracts
and will not be reemployed. The shops
at Topeka, and probably at other
points are closed today. New opera
tors are being gathered. Every man
on the line that can be spared is being
laid off to reduce expenses while earn
ings are stopped. Trains that are
moving are without wire orders.
The operators on the Gulf, Colorado
g. Santa Fe, the Texas link of the sys-
TEN, made demands for alterations in
the rules which the company resisted
because it would have increased the
pay of the men an average of 500 a
year each. The men were under con-
tract until next July. The men claim
their requests to be reasonable. The
operators on the main lines are out in
sympathy with the Texas men.
