CLEVELAND, December 81 R.-
DR.. Frank P. Corrigan Of Cleveland,
United States Minister to the Republic
of FL Salvador, said last night that
there are only about 100 American
citizens in Ell Salvador.
The city of San Vicenti, reported
to have been destroyed by an earth
quake, had no American colony, he
said.
If there were any Americans there
they would have been statesmen or per-
haps railroad men," he said.
DR.. Corrigan said he had received no
official word of the earthquake, but
any of his services would be toward
lining up any needed supplies.
II have competent staff in San
Salvador" he said, "and I know they
can handle our affairs there very we'll"
DR.. Ccrrigan said San Vicenti had
0 mild earthquake about month ago.
Only minor damage was done. The
stricken city celebrated its 300th ami
versary few months ago.
DR.. Corrigan left San Salvador in
October and has been in Washington
most of the time. He has planned to
return to his post the first Of the year.

WALSH-HEALYA ACT
UNDERGOES STUDY
U. S. Seeking to Determine
if Provisions Send Up
Cost of Supplies.

BY the Associated Press.
Two Federal agencies-Treasury and
Labor Departments-have undertaken
study of the Walsh Healy act to de-
termine If its provisions are causing
the Government to pay more for sup
plies.
Enacted in the last session Of Con-
gress, the law forces all concerns bid
ding for Government business to op-
crate on a 40-hour work-week basis
and meet other labor standards, if
the contracts involve $4,000 or more
It has been argued in some quarters
that the law would raise the cost
of Government purchases materially.
Officials said the survey Row under
way is to determine whetha this has
been true. They did not indicate that
any action other than the study itself
is contemplated. Any such survey, it
was indicated, can provide only rough
comparisons Of prices before and after
enactment of the act, because many
other factors enter into supply costs.
The Labor Secretary can waive the
regulations where the Government Is
being affected adversely.
Strike Against Act Reported.
Recent refusal of some industries to
bid on Government contracts has
given rise to reports OF strike"
against the Walsh ealy act.
In Government circles, there existed
divergent views over the absence Of
contract bidding High naval officials
were inclined to blame the Walsh
Healy labor requirements. On the
other hand, Secretary Perkins at
tributed the failure to receive the
usual number of bids to increased de-
mands of private industry for steel.
Some industries, it was said, were
"a little doubtful" about effects Of the
act for time. but had resumed bid
ding. In many cases, ofiicials said,
industries already are meeting the re-
quirements of the act, so it entails
no added operating costs.
Navy Unable to Get Bids.
Recently. the Navy was unable to
get any bids when it sought to buy
2,500,000 pounds Of copper and its
call for bids on 5000 tons of steel
brought proposals for only about one
fourth that amount.
There have been several instances
where manufacturers offered fsplit
bids" on contracts to keep under the
$4,000 limit. In one Of these, cover
ing machinery. all bids were rejected
and new proposals asked, and officials
said there was no indication of an
attempt to repeat this move.

They made plain, however, that

Exemptions to be Sought.
In common with some Democrats,
more orthodox Republicans will press
to exempt establishments with private
pension plans from the general PEN
sion system and to modify the pro-
vision looking to Q $45 ZOO, 900 900 re-

They regard the size of this pro.

ORDER FOR COPPER
BY NAVY UNTITLED
Government Contract Act Is
Held Responsible for Lack
of Bidders.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Navy was in the market today
for 100000 pounds of copper. but
could find nobody willing to sell.
This strange situation was due,
Navy officials said, to the new Walsh
Healey Government contract act.
The act provides that concerns
which make contracts of more than
$4,000 with the Government must pay
prevailing" wages as determined by
the Secretary of Labor, must establish
q 40-hour maximum work week and
employ no child labor.
The Navy's bids were to be open ID
yesterday, but no bids appeared. Navy
officials Immediately made known they
would discuss the situation with Secre-
tary Of Labor Perkins.
Operating 48 Hours = Week.
Although no comment could be OBJ
tanned here directly from large copper
companies, persons usually well in
formed said many Western copper
mines were operating 48 hours week.
The Navy also disclosed that an un-
usually small number of bids were
submitted yesterday for the complete
East Coast fuel oil supply for the
Navy, War, Treasury. Commerce and
Labor Departments during the first
quarter of 1887.
Not more than two bids were sub
mitted for any one lot. No bid ap-
peared for one 17o,000-barrel order.
Only one bid was received for q
contract for $500 tons of steel to be
used in new ships under the Nays
building program. This bid, depart
ment officials said, was unsatisfactory.
Exemption Requests Received.
Although she had not been advised
off1cially of the copper, oil and steel
situations, Miss Perkins said both
Government purchasing agencies and
private businesses had made requests
for exemptions from the act.
The Navy Department, she said,
might ask for exemptions in the pres
ent cases.
Some Government officials said the
upswing in business the Nation over
might be more responsible than the
Walsh Healey act for an increasing
trend of private industry to steer clear
Of Government contracts.
