The San Francisco call., 1907-02-19


That there is a combination OF the
private shipyards OF San Francisco to
exact exorbitant prices from the Cow
ernment is charged in a letter from
Senator George c. Perkins received by
the Chamber of Commerce. Surprise
and anger are the dominant moods Of
the men who consider themselves the
targets for the Governments suspi-
cions. Denials Of the existence of any
combination calculated to destroy fair
competition for Uncle Sans ship
building business in this harbOr are
emphatically made. Senator Perkins
letter contained the following:
The War Department has the opinion thar the
private shipyards or san Francisco have com
nent at Washington. The Navy Department.
thinks that circumstances point To q combina-
ton TO hOld Up the Government and Is not in
citned 20 submit TO what IL deems eNtorti0n-
The department desires TO have the repairs on
the transports made in the vicinity Of the home
port ana does not desire 70 send them north 20
Puget Sound. whose private yards seem to be the
only ones on the coast that win bid for the
work.
The contents of the letter have be-
come known to ali the shipbuiIding
concerns in San Francisco and have
become the subject for much quiet talk
The significance of the implied threat
TO send the work to Puget Sound
is understood.
The recent building for the repairs
on the transport sheridan is cited as
an indication that Senator Perkins has
been misinfOrmed. and the Navy De-
partment's suspicious are ground1ess.
Bids were opened at Washington on
January 20 from three san Francisco
cOncerns-the Union Iron Works. $685.
900; RisdOn Iron Works, S472.OO0:
Moore & Scott. S4410O0. The lOwesL
San Francisco bidder expected to get
the contract. but IT was soon developed
that Mare Island was also in the com
petition and had strong backing at
Washington.
No one has the contract for the work
as yet. but a large amount OF wiring
and letter writing is going on concern
ing the situation. A formal rejoinder
TO Senator Perkins letter mas been pre-
pared.

of Eureka, who visited the Coliseum
during the afternoon, was the first
purchaser. During the evening sew
eral other sales were recorded.
The women were the most difficult
to please. One young miss, whose fond
father had told her to take her pick
tried each one in turn. Finally she de-
cided upon handsome seven-passen-
ger car. She opened the door and
seated herself among the cushions.
"Oh, this will never do" she ex
claimed. Just look how these red
cushions spoil the effect of my violet
dress"
Not only were the auto dealers rep
resented, but the men who do repairing
and the firms which sell costumes and
automobile accessories had their wares
displayed.
While the crowd promenaded band
played appropriate music. In the gal.
lery an Oriental garden had been ar
ranged, where refreshments were
served.
Captain Gleason of the Police Depart
ment was on hand with large squad,
but there was nothing for them to do.
There was not a hitch from the begin
ming of the parade to Home, Sweet
Home"
