tilted was Joseph B. Page, whom De-

$40.

PLEAD FOR WORK
AT MARE ISLAND
Vallejo Labor Organizations
Anxious TO Construct
Another War Vessel
Comparison OF Final Cost Under
Private Contract Fayors
Government Yard

VALLEJO, April 1.-The labor or
ganizations of Vallejo, representing
practically the entire force in the navy
yard, numbering 1850 men, are taking
an active interest in the effort now be-
ing made in Washington to secure the
construction of another vessel on Mare
island. Letters have been received
from Senator Perkins and Congress-
men knowiand and Kahn promising
their cooperation, as the Prometheus
is so far advanced as TO enable the
commandant to set date for launch
ing In October next.
The sentiment IN favor of govern
ment construction of naval vessels is
noticeably stronger than ever before
AS a matter of comparison 1t is notice.
able that the u S. S. Connecticut now
serving as Admiral Evans flagship, was
constructed at the New York navy
yard. Snipbuilders stated that the first
cost of this vessel would be per cent
more than the Louisiana, uiit by con-
tract, but recent reports from the navy
department show that the Connecticut
has a difference of abou IL per cent in
her favor In cost of maintenance and
repairs since commissioning, although
the amount charged against her in
ciudes her running aground, for which
the construction was, of course, not
responsible.
CONTRACT PRICE EXCEEDED
Under private CONTRACT the time
limit is almost invai .aply exceeded. in
the case of the California. Milwaukee
and South Dakota being more than two
years. In the original contract price
of vessels built at private yards the
cost of maintaining the several gov
ernment offices for inspectors. etc, is
not included and therefore the actual
cost of q vessel is much greater.
The Office the experimenting con-
structor at the Union iron works has
not yet been closed, although the three
vessels above mentioned have long
since been commissioned. This is due
to the large number of changes made
in the original specifications and the
consequent claims for increase or de-
crease of cost
SHORTER HOURS AT YARDS
In building ships at private yards
the hours of labor are longer-nine to
ten--whIle at government yards they
are but eight.
The extensive repairs now nearing
completion on the army transport Sher-
idan al Mare island Is strong object
lesson in favor of government repairs
to all government vessels After the
work is completed a considerable sum
will remain and this will be retained
by the army department. which would
net be the case IL the work vas done
by a private contract.
Mans items of work not included In
the original specifications have been
done willingly in order that everything
might be entirely satisfactory.
If the navy yards are to be main
tanned at the highest point of efficiency
constant work must be supplied and in
the construction of at least one new
vessel at the time at Mare island, this
problem will be easily solved.
