14-IN. GUN BURST.
WAS INFERIOR
QUALITY
Made by Cheap Labor at An
ExOrbitant Price
SAYS CONGRESSMAN RAINEY
Government Contracts Said to Be
Turned Toward One Firm at
Bethlehem, Penn.

Washington, March 2.-One OF the
colossal l4-inch guns burst during the
ordnance trials at Sandy Hook and
the matter was hushed up according
to Representative Rainey of Illinois.
who made a sensational attack today
upon the Bethlehem Steel Company
and the Government officials that
have been favoring it with orders
The gun which burst, he said, was
made by the most poorly paid skilled
labor. in the country.
Mr. >Rainey made his attack in the
middle of a speech during the dis.
cussion of the Post Office Appropria-
tion bill.
The Bethlehem plant, according to
Mr.. Rainey, is the one of strikes and
lockouts and of many labor troubles
For two or three years he cried,
the Government contracts have been
going in larger and larger amounts TO
the Bethlehem Steel Works and to
Midyah and the force in the Govern
ment arsenals has been gradually di-
minishing At the present time in
the works of the Bethlehem Company
10000 men are idle and the strike
commenced in the Government shops.
The most poorly paid skilled laborers
in the country are employed in the
works of the Bethlehem Steel Com.
pany They make the guns for the
army they make the guns for the
navy. They claim they make them
up there at Wateryliet, but they do
n do Tho ar1a.e nIf . h.
castings and all the forgings of all
the guns for the army and practically
all OF the guns for the navy are di
verted by the officers in charge to
Midvale and Bethlehem, where the
castings and the forgings are made
by the poorest paid labor in all the
world. After the castings and forg-
ings are finished up at Bethlehem
they are simply sent to the navy yard
and are assembled there The work
of making the guns in the Govern
ment arsenals now is simply the pro
cess of assembling the parts. and yet
they claim they make them there.
"A public scandal is now brewing
in this country on account of the OPP
erations of these private works
which employ the cheapest skilled
labor in the country. Not long ago
| am informed "A great 14-iuch gun
burst in its trials at Sandy Hook. It
was manufactured and forged and
the castings were made by one of
these private companies. Nothing
was said about it or how much the
Government has lost by the bursting
of one of the greatest guns manufac-
tured in this country No one knows
that"
