New Orleans, La, Jan. 27.--Ameri

by leading lights of the financial and

the importance Of gaining fresh trade

San Francisco, Jan. 27.-The Union
Iron Works, which has Just purchased
the shipbuilding plant of the United
Engineering Works for $l,OOO,000 will
spend 100000 more improving the
place, according to announcement to-
day by President j. A. McGregor.
The plant will be modernized in ev-
cry way. Machinery of the latest type
will cost $4,000 and three new slips
will be built. McGregor declares that
the business already waiting for the
Union Iron Works will keep the new
plant going to capacity for an indef-
mite period and he even predicted that
it would not be long before even these
new facilities for his company would
be outgrawn.
"The demand for ships is almost be-

fact has to be recognized that there can
be no stable prosperity at home unless

"This profitable employment will
