UNION IRON WORKS
TO ENLARGE PLANT

San Francisco, Jan. 27.--The Union
Iron works, which has Just purchased
the shipbuilding plant Of the United
Engineering works for $1,000, 900,
will spend $500. 900 more improving
the place, according to announce
ment today by President J. A. Nc
Gregor. The plant will be modern
ized in every way. Machinery Of the
latest type will cost $4,000, and
three new slips will be built.
McGregor declares that the busi-
ness already waiting for the Union
Iron works will keep the new plant
going to capacity for an indefinite
period, and he even predicted that 1t
would not be long before even these
new facilities for his company would
be outgrown.
"The demand for ships is almost
beyond comprehension" said McGre-
gor, "and price is no object just now.
l have been compelled recently to
stop negotiations because we had not
the facilities to All the orders that
poured in"

NOT

President Tells Clergymen in
Speech at New York That
He Is Always Ready to Ac-

New York, Jan. 27.--President

Speaking before 1000 clergymen

pulse of my native blood. the chal-
lenge to a fight"
\ Moreover. he added that with him
1t was not ease of knock down
and drag out, but Of putting up the
best reason why your own side should
survive"
In announcing his dostrine con-
corning peace and belligerency. the
president obviously attempted to
eliminate from further discussion the
"too proud phrase voiced in his In
|dianapolis speech last year-a phrase
which resulted in greater criticism
here and abroad than any other ut
terance he has made.
81 hope / do not traduce my antag-
onists," he went on. II hope | fight

of converting them. wish that the
best argument and the right purpose
shall prevail.
Virgil says somewhere: The child

moon; the old man sips Cruel humbly
and thanks God that nobody beats
him.
Il have not yet quite reached the
point of humility. and ! always ac-
cept, perhaps from some impulse OF
my native blood, the challenge to a
fight. 1t is not case of knock down
and drag out. but Of putting the best
reason why your own side should sur

versy; these knightly equalities Of

CONVICT LABOR
/. TO COST STATE LESS
fBy United Press Leased wire.)

tDy OHittu Truss bcdscu "hc.J
Sacramento, Jan. 27.-That the
cost to the state of maintaining con-
vict road laborers will be reduced
from s1.31 per day to 81 day for
each convict is the opinion today OF
Highway Engineer Fletcher. The
cost has been rather high because the
men worked in the rain and 1t was
necessary to provide them with spe-
cial clothing. But even at the S1.31
rate the venture is considered sue
cess from a financial viewpoint be-
cause the average wage is $2.25 a
day. The convicts who have been
clearing and grading state highways
in Mendocino county are doing the
work as efficiently as paid labor, 1t is
reported. From the viewpoint of the
moral uplift of the convicts, the plan
has also been a success, five of the
workers having been paroled. Only
nine of the 115 convicts who were
sent to the road camp failed to make
good. Five were agitators and four
attempted to escape. These were sent
back to prison.
