Proportions Disclosed

The Foundation company is a
corporation engaged in general
contracting work with its main
office in New York and branches
thruout the United States and
Canada. 1t has today the respon-
sibility of SO separate and distinct
contracts involving millions of
dollars distributed thru the Unit
ed States and Canada, among
which we are pleased to note
those on the west coast at San
Francisco, Portland, Tacoma and
Victoria, B. c., that at Tacoma
amounting to about $4,000, 1000,
which may be divided as follows:
Labor, $2,500,000; lumber, 81
500,000; machinery, $4,000, 900;
miscellaneous, $4,000, 900; total,
100000. The labor item of
$2,500,0O0 will Of course be spent
in Tacoma exclusively. The lum-
Der item Of $1,500,0O0 will be
purchased in Tacoma from Taco
ma firms. The machinery item
of 100000 is being purchased
from the east because it could not
be purchased on the coast, owing
to lack of facilities. Misecellane-
Gus items amounting to $1,000
600 should be placed in Tacoma
except for extraordinary reasons.
To date we have spent on our Ia

have almost been superhuman.
Consider for instance that We
took hold of this shipbuilding in
dustry sometime in September,
1917, when the flats were inun-
dated. There was no land on
which to build. BY extraordinary
efforts of the Tacoma Dredging
Co. under the supervision of Mr..
Ed Simpson, and cooperation OF
Mr.. Ashton, we had on December
/, 1917, or three months from be-
ginning, 10 keels laid and fully
equipped plant for CONSTRUCTING
20 vessels of 5000 tons capacity,
and this performed under most
adverse conditions, one of which
was transportation of employees.

City Falls Down on
Transportation

The municipality has per-
formed credibly in providing Il
trolley line to our plant, but for
reaaons best known to itself ii
has not provided adequate facili-
ties. The number of cars in SER
vice and trackage arrangement
does not handle and cannot han
die the traffic. Tho the trolley
line started to operate on or about
November /, 1917, it soon be-
came apparent to me that the ser
vice was inadequate and the con-
ditions intolerable for my men.
The city, under the supervision
of Commissioner Atkins, has per-
formed its best under the cir
cumstances, but that best does
not by any means meet the re-
quirements. respectfully re-
quest any of you gentlemen to
visit my yard at the close of the
days work and witness my emf
ployes endeavoring to board the
trolley cars for their homes. A
short time ago ono Of my men
/,
his attempt to board the trolley
car. To relieve the congestion
and show proper consideration for
the men who toll all day and are
entitled to the utmost considera-
ton, | was obliged to call into
service launches which are being
supplied by the Foss Launch Co.
and which have been in service
since early in November, 1917,
and they are still in service and
will be maintained until some re-
lief can be afforded. 1t would
seem to me that some arrange
ment should have been made to
anticipate the conditions which
now prevail and steps taken to
meet them.
There can be no doubt in the
minds &c us all that during
period when the integrity of this
country is in jeopardy and its
very foundation about to crumble
under the force Of Prussianism
that we should 60 to extremes to
afford our government and its
allies all the facilities at our
command. We are not construct

sells for the democrats, and every
day is most vital to those armies
fighting on foreign soil, and
when our efforts are stultified by
obstacles in our control to re-
move, we become the monkey
wrench in the machinery of prog
ress.
Should not the city of Tacoma
mobilize its resources and render
better car service for the en-
ployes of shipyards and those of
kindred service? The travelling
public use cars at hours when the
workman is entitled to them. The
shoppers are inconsiderate or else
lack appreciation of conditions.
Could not arrangements be made
to divert cars from the T. r. &
p. company temporarily and until
the municipal road could re-
trench itself?
