BARDE HOLDS TEAL
IDE BIO BLUNDER
Recall of War Material Bid Is
Branded Error.
FEDERAL LOSS FORECAST
vr Tenders Asked by Govern
ment to Be $750,000 Lower Than
That Accepted, Is Prediction.
Joseph N. Teal of Portland, United
States chipping: board commissioner
from the Facifio coast, is charged
irith a fatal error in requesting- the
withdrawal of the bid of the Barde
Steel Products corporation for sur
plus shipbuilding- material on this
coast. In a letter received by The Ore
gonian yesterday from J. N. Barde,
vice-president and treasurer of the
Barde Steel Products corporation, of
New York.
As the result of the withdrawal of
this bid, which had been accepted,
and the re-advertisement for new
offers, Mr. Barde makes the predic
tion that the highest of the new bids
received will be at least $760,000 less
than that offered by the Barde In
terests. Mr. Barde's communication, in part,
follows:
We desire at this time to make a state
ment as to the reason for our withdraw
ing bid that was accepted by the United
States shipping board through Admiral
Benson, on approximately 15.000,000 worth
of surplus shipbuilding material now lo
cated on the Pacific coast. -There have
been comments made by several news
papers throughout the United States that
we withdraw our bid but stated no reason
for -so doing. We therefore wish to state
to you that Wednesday, December 8, 1120.
the writer, J. N. Barde, vice-president and
treasurer of Bard" Steel Product corpora
tion. New York city, received a long-distance
message from Admiral Benson, ex
pressing his desire that the writer confer
with him Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.
The writer was at the admiral's office at
the appointed time and upon the expressed
wish of Admiral Benson, which was the
outcome of a desire on the part of Joseph
Teal, tho new shipping board commissioner
from Oregon, agreed to release the United
8tates shipping board from the sale to
our company of all of the Pacific coast
material. The bid we submitted some time
ago to the shipping board was on the basis
of 50 per cent of the appraised value of
the material on the Pacific coast plus 75
per cent of the price received for the ma
terials and equipment, averaging over 60
per cent of the appraisal.
However, notwithstanding the fact that
our offer was accepted and was deemed to
be more than fair, and much more than
the shipping board was realizing from the
sale of the material by its own supply and
sales department, the new member of the
board, having expressed his desire to Ad
miral Benson that we withdraw our bid
and induce additional competitive bidding,
we acceded to Admiral Benson's wishes by
withdrawing our offer and allowing the
shipping board to readvertise the material,
upon which we intend to bid.
In connection with the readvertisement
and the new bits which will be tendered
to the shipping board, the writer desires
to express to you and the general public
bis opinion that in viojw of the demoral
ised condition of the market on surpluB
material of all kinds, the shipping board
has made a grave mistake in requesting
the withdrawal of our bid, end makes a
prophecy at this time that the new bids
will be at least S700.UOO less than the bid
we made and which was accepted and
finally withdrawn by the shipping board's
own request.
The writer wllshee to state at this time
that we would have carried through our
agreement regardless of the fact that the
market has declined most abnormally, and
even in view of the enormous loss which
would have been occasioned by our going
tnrough with the entire proposition.
The writer further desires to state that
the new commissioner, Joseph Teal, In
making bis request to Admiral Benson to
request us to withdraw our bid, made a
fatal error to the shipping board, which
will be proved to the general public as soon
as the new bids are opened, which will
be within the next two or three weeks.

Representatives of the council

ago, following a strenuous fight.
waged with the members of the
Housewives 'council on one side and
City Commissioner Bigelow and
Marketmaster Eastman on the other.
The theory advanced by the com
mittee, which caused removal of the
maximum price, was . that such re
moval 'would bring about real com
petition. However, the actual test
of the removal of the maximum price
has shown that although wholesale
prices of produce sold on the market
has lowered, the retail prices on the
market have increased over the
prices in effect last year.
"The Housewives' council is willing
to admit its error," said Mrs. J. C
Othus, ' prominent member of the
organization. "When we urged the
removal of the maximum price we
did so in the belief that it would
result in lower prices. This it failed
to do and we now wish to return to
the maximum price."
Commissioner Bigelow said yester
day that he would not present the
price-fixing problem before the city
council until after the return of
Mayor Baker, who supported the
women on the removal of the price
fixing provision of the market
ordinance.
