account 100000 tons Of coal annually,
were requested to prepare and submit
competitive bid for the business.
"They replied, with the understand
ing that their bid would be regarded
as an approximate one only, with an
offer of $160 a long ton. But this bid
was loaded down with conditions. the
Earn-Line was to pay the cost OF
stevedoring at New York, but the
shipper to be responsible for demur-
rage and delays incident to failure
to deliver cement to the vessel at the
rate of 1000 tons day without regard
to other lettering conditions. The ship
was to be relieved from all RESPONSE
bility for loss or damage, providing
the cargo was properly stored, and to
be discharged free at the rate OF 1000
tons a day-that is the company to
pay the cost of stevedoring at approx
mately 25 cents ton The ship was
to be entitled to demurrage at the rate
of 10 cents per net registered ton for
failure at either end to load or dis
charge at the rate of 1000 tons a day.
The Earn-Line offered to pay des-
patch money at the rate of four cents
a ton for more rapid discharge than
that specified
This bid was made at a period of
extreme depression in maritime af-
fairs. and the bidders stated that they
were not anxious for business at those
figures. This conditional bid, the low
est on record up to that time, APP
rroximated 81 a ton and offered no
inducements between the facilities al
ready in hand and to be furnished by
the Panama Railroad Steamship Line
for the business. In other words, the
Panama company itself could not hire
the cement transported by a foreign
line at a lower rate. in period OF
extreme depression, than it is now
charging the Government when bust
ness is good. The Ancon and the
Cristobal also provide excellent pas
senger transportation"
There is but one conclusion to be
reached, in the light of the evidence
submitted by Mr.. Drake. 1t is that if
the only company in a position to COM
pete advantageously for the business
of carrying cement to Panama, at
time when the lowest possible prices
for transportation prevailed, offered a
bid which was approximately 81 per
ton; and if we are carrying the GEM
ent at 81 per ton under present con-
ditions, we are saving money under
the arrangements cited by the anti
subsidy men as Instantaneous
Like all such cases, it requires a lot
of explanation to clear up the uncer-
tainty with which the facts have been
clothed by the misstatement, but this
bubble seemed to be worth pricking.
