bumped they rushed on deck, naturally
wondering what had happened. For
a moment there was feeling of dis
appointment and a fear that they
would have to go ashore again to wait
for some other vessel, but only for a
moment, for Captain Johnson assured
them that she would be off in a few
minutes.
A representative of The Star was
alongside shortly after she struck. Cap
tain Johnson stated that there was ap-
parently no damage sustained and that
the boat would be off IN a few minutes.

yesterday, stated: Our concern will
never take a battleship or any other
kind of a ship to be built in San Fran
cisco as long as the labor conditions
are maintained as at present. We lost
$500, 900 on the last three battleships
contracted for, and have lost more
money in our work ip San Francisco
than we have made at our other works
throughout the different parts of this
country. We shall not take any work
of any magnitude under the labor con-
ditions existing in San Francisco. I
have never seen anything like it any
where.
1--WE have just completed three bat
tleships for the United States Govern
ment and we have lost $2,5OOOOO in the
construction, and this was chiefly caus-
ed by the condition of labor. When
we took control of the Union Iron
Works Henry T. Scott had already
contracted for these three ships, and
then the men were working ten hours

fore it was nine hours. 1t is not so
much the time as it is greatly because
of their inferior and inefficient work
manship that we objet, as the same
standard has not been maintained.
"The whole thing in a nutshell is
this: AS long as I control the Union
Iron Works, under the present labor
conditions existing, nothing would ever
make me undertake to build another
ship at this place.
"a certain concern wanted a large
ship built and asked us to bid on it
within the last three months. We
would not talk of bidding on it against
Eastern bidders, although they stated
that they would give us $4,000 more
than the Eastern bidder, besides the
cost of bringing the ship here, as they

When the caissons sunk the steel core is with
