Industries
WINE BILL IN FORCE

PARIS, June 2e.-With the prestige
of last nights victory in the chamber
Of deputies, Premier Clemenceau is pre-
pairing TO hasten the adjournment Of
parliament, which is now placed for
July Z This means shelving till next
session the income tax bill, the vote on
which opens Monday, and other meas
ures like the Workmen's pension bill
and the purchase of the Western rail-
road which were on the cabinets pro-
gram when it assumed power.
The session has practically been bar
ren Of results. Not one Of the big re-
forms heralded when the ministers en-
tered Office has been realized, while
some. like the abolition of the death
penalty and the abolition of trials by
courts martial in time Of peace, have
openly been abandoned.
The government promulgated today
the wine fraud bill. which was passed
by the Senate last evening with a view
20 correcting a number Of things com
planned OF by the discontented wine
growers IN the south of France. The
bin, it is hoped, viii go a long way to-
ward removing the feeling of discon-
tent in the recently disturbed district.
The new measure requires, among
other things that all of the wine grow
ers make an annual declaration at the
mayoralty Of their commune of the
Of wine produced and in stock, and
whether it is intended for sale of other
wise, the government being of the
opinion that when in possession of this
Information it viii be in a position
10 keep track of the wine from the
growers to the dealers, thus preventing
watering.
The measure restricts the market for
alcohol produced from grapes and beets.
The finance minister is also nranarad
as an indUcement for the wine growers
70 abandon grape growing in favor of
other crops. to remit the land tax in
such cases for five years. The govern
ment advises the organization Of wine
growers TO regulate the output and dis
continue the manufacture of poor wine,
and urges the growers to assist the
government TO suppress the outside
frauds by themselves exposing whole
sale buyers who refuse to purchase
products unless adulterated to suit the
market

AWARDS CONTRACTS FOR
TWO "DREADNOUGHTs"
Newport News and Fore
River Companies to
Build Battleships
ARMOR rs PURCHASED
Secretary Metcalf Closes
Negotiations Before
He Starts West

WASHINGTON, June %. = Before
leaving for the west today Secretary
Metcalf announced his decisions in sew
contracts for the construction of the
two American .Dreadnought" battle
ships, the interesting point of his deci-
sion being the rejection OF the navy
departments plans and the acceptance
of more progressive ideas of the prl-
vate ship building firms involving the
use of steam turbines. So as to afford
opportunity for comparison of the rela-
tive merits Of the British and Amer
lean turbine system, the secretary
awarded one contract to the Newport
News ship building company for the
purpose Of trying the device known
as the Parsons turbine" This is con-
ditioned upon certain notifications by
the contractors to meet the ideas of
the department, otherwise 1t must
build the ship with reciproeating en-
gines under the departments plans. In
the first case they will receive S4,090,
600 and in the latter case only
SO, ,9S7 .000
The contract for the other battle
ship was awarded to the Fore River
ship building company of Quincy,
Mass, at S4,377, 900. under their class
3 bid, providing for the machine of
the American Curtis turbine type The
Newport News company undertakes to
build It's ship in 36 months and the
Fore River company in 341a months.
The secretary was unable to award
the contracts for building the sub
marine boats because of the necessity
of submitting to the attorney general
a minor point of law, but he has de-
cided to accept the report of the board
of construction and the special sub
marine board in favor of the Octopus
type" of boat. The 100000 appro-
priation will be used to build as many
as possible of these boats averaging
about 100000 apiece.
In awarding the contracts for supply
ing armor for the two 10000 ton bat
tieships today Secretary Metcalf, with
view to giving encouragement to all of
the armor producing concerns, while
insuring to the government the low
est possible rates, divided the contract
among the three bidders. The Midvale
company had arranged its bid so as to
make a special price for what are re-
garded as the easiest forms of armor
plate to produce. This bid was rejected
by Secretary Metcalf and was conse-
quently arranged to meet the wishes
of the department.
At the same time the Midvale COM
pany was notified that IL 1t ultimately
wished a share OF the business 1t must
reduce its bid to the level of the lowest
bidders, which 1t did. Consequently
Secretary Metcalf was able to announce
today that he had made awards as fol-
lows: To the Bethlehem company. $3.50
tons; to the Carnegie company, 3,545
tons, and to the MidvaleNcompany, $3.50
tons class A armor at s43O per ton, and
class B, c and D at $500.
