Labor Conditions in West Do Not
Permit Of Competition.
New York, Sept. 28.-Henry 7. Scott,
who was president of the Union Iron
Works of San Francisco when that
concern built the battleship Oregon,
said in an interview here, as to the
approaching cruise of the United
States battleship fleet to the Pacific
coast, that the navy Of the future will
have to be almost entirely the pro-
duct of eastern shipyards, as labor
conditions on the western coast make
economical construction of battleships
impossible.
Conditions are getting worse in
stead of better in the labor market in
the west" said Mr.. Scott with the
added cost Of freight on the materials
necessary for batt1eship construction
and the fact that with shorter work
day our mechanics receive 25 per cent
higher pay than in the east, it is i'm
possible for western shipbuilders to
compete with those Of the Atlantic
coast.
"All the battleships the United
States will ever have on the Pacific
coast will have to be built on the At
lantic seaboard and the people of the
Pacific coast are glad that the fleet
is to be sent around there"

GOVERNMENT WANTS GEMS.
Claims Valuable Pearls Struggled Into
Now York From Paris.

y
New York, Sept. 2S.-The importa-
ton of three packages of pearls val
ued at $4,000 wholesale and alleged
by the government to have been smug-
gled into this country several weeks
ago, is being investigated by the GUS
toms authorities. Manuel CorneJo, a
California dealer in pearls. owns the
gems, which were shipped to Paris by
way Of New York and subsequently
brought back again thru this city.
The customs officials at San Fran
cisco besides making charge OF
smuggling against Cornejo have begun
a civil suit for forfeiture of the pearls
on the ground that the ten per cent
duty to which they are subject on inn
portation was not paid. Receipts of the
New York custom house show that
Cornejo shipped some pearls to Paris
and reshipped them back here and he
contends that these are the pearls
found in his possession.
The customs officials say that, even
if there was a reshipment, the pearls
are of Oriental origin, and the defen-
dant must show that duty was paid on
their first entry into this country. The
owner declares that while the pearls
pass in trade for Oriental gems, they
are really Of American origin.
