NEW TORE, Nov.-13. The name of ReDresentativa Gallivan of Massa chusetts was brought into testimony offered here today in the Walsh com mittee Inquiry into the affairs of the United States shipping board. . Robert E. Kline, special representa tive of the boards' supply and sales department, was testifying as to methods used in disposal of surplus material. He described an efforj-by his department to procure what he said was an advantageous contract for disposal of scrap-.material. A bid for its sale on a "six' months' supply basis" at a rate of 60 . cents a ton over the market price was accepted, rejected, accepted again and once more held up because an official in Washington discovered he had acted 1 without authority, he said. In the interim another form of bid had been offered. The second bidder alleged he had been discriminated against and, according to the witness, the board secured from Mr. -Gallivan a telegram complaining that this bid der, one of his constituents, had not been treated fairly. This first tele gram, the witness added, was soon followed by another which he termed "sharp." demanding an investigation and threatening to take the matter to the floor of congress. Insistence Brings Haste. - The insistence of Mr. Gallivan, the witness said, no doubt caused vt'he home office of the board to give the controversy ver the "scrap" con tracts quicker consideration. At any rate, he said, he forwarded to tne iboard a complete file . of the casa. (The delay in determining .the suc icesaul . bidder, however, cost the igwvernment money, he declared, for at that time last June and July-- the market for scrap material was much higher than.it now is. From shipyard materials and con tests over contracts for "scrap" the hearing, in its closing hours, drifted back to operations. Captain James A. MacGregor ot Baltimore, now general manager for the South Atlantic Maritime corpora tion, but formerly district agent for the shipping board at Savannah and Wilmington, was called. Le related Instances of delays to shipping board vessels, alleged inter locking operating organizations, de-1 lays in repairs to ships and congested harbors, which he said cost the shipping board money. - He admitted. however, that incidents similar to those he described had occurred with private companies, but not to such an extent as they did with the government -operations. Rostn Shipment Told. He told of a shipment of rosin from Savannah to Havana which could not be unloaded at the latter port be cause ot congestion. Its consignee raised a vigorous complaint and he was paid for the rosin by the steam ship company which carried it with check on shipping board funds. The rosin went with, the ship from Havana to Buenos Aires, thence back to New York, thence to Baltimore and back to Savannah, where it was sold at a loss. The shipping board w reimbursed, but the-point of the wit ness was that its funds were used without proper authority. decreased materially during the last few months. Mr. Gram said it was his opinion that this was not the most important factor in closing down the plants. The -high freight rates, he said, affected the Inland mills to the extent that they could not compete with plants having water transporta tion and were compelled to accept the alternative of discharging their forces pending more favorable conditions. Although deploring any action that may be taken by employers to the end of disturbing Industrial - conditions, Mr. Gram is of the opinion that many more men will be out of employment after the first of next year. This con dition, he believes, will have a ten dency to reduce wages in case the oost of commodities is decreased pro; portionately. - , ELECTION EXPENSES T0LO . m Statements of Various Candidates Filed at Salem.

SALEM, Or., Nov. 13. (Special.) There are approximately 7000 men' In Portland out of employment at the present time and a proportionate number in other sections of the state according to C. H. Gram, state labor commissioner, who is close in touch with the industrial and agricultural conditions in Oregon.

If you are, then we tell you that "you need delay no longer" on this account. . MODEST PRICES Quantity regulates price. This is a fundamental axiom of business that cannot be denied. Therefore, the fact that we do a very large volume of business permits us to take a smaller profit on the indi vidual patient than an office which does only one-third to one-half" of' khe volume that we do can possibly afford to take. So when you comoare our prices with others you will find that ours are the. lowest, especially considering the fact that we turn out nothing but- the very highest grade of work.
