SAX FKAXCISCO NOT PLEASED Much Work Xow On Hand But Later Contracts May Be Pilled Mere Work is Cheaper. San Francisco Call. The story published exclusively In yesterday's Call that the Union Iron Works had been absorbed by a gigantic ship-building syndicate organized by the Sellgmans produced a profound 1m prewlon in San Francisco. Today the Call Is able to place before Its readers a complete confirmation of the st..ry and supply many of the details cnn-ct. ed with the Herniations which wt not obtainable night before last. Preliminary steps to consolidate un der one general management the lead ing ship yards of the Atlantic coat and the Union Iron Works of the Pa cific were taken last summer. The ne gotiations were conducted with extreme secrecy. It now transpires that be fore Henry T. Scott left this city on his recent Eastern trip all of the stock of the Union Iron Works was placed In escrow in tho Anglo-Ca'.lfornia bank of Pan Fran-i.vo. This bank is the agency cf the Se'igmans in California. Home inter-Htlng facs come to light regarding the price or prices of the stock, fcr as a matter of fact two prices wre consider "1 and accepted. The- actlvs managers of the works re-ciiv-d a mu"h larg-r sum per share fur Ui'ir stock than was paid to stock holders who had not participated in the actlv-i affairs of building ships. All of t!ie stockholders, hoiv-ver, cjcqulesefl In this twofold arrangement. One reason assigned for giving to ac tive manager a big price fur their hold ings was th- consideration that thfy were in the- enjoyment f lucrative sal aried an! woull therefore be called upon to make great pecuniary sacrl fices in (filing their sttock at the or dinary valuation. Under the terms of the agreement th? ordlnirv stockholders receive $2'0 per share of stock. The favored hold ers, or the active managers, receive for their holdings $500 per share. The number of shares of stock in the con cn"i is 20,000. hence if all the tock were 1 . . OUR - Latest pattern Colored Body or Fancy Bosom S. DANZIGER, 490 Commercial Street, Astoria, Oregon. sold at 1250 per share the aggregate price would, be $3,900,000. The original capital stock was $2,000, 000, and of this amount $1,250,000 was paid up. The par value of the stock Is t The Call Is asaured that all (1 the stockholders are satl33ed with the or- rangements of the syndicate. The transaction Is closed, barring the ac tual payment of money and tn"e trans fer oi property. Nt doubt exists as to the ability or design of the syndicate to execute Its wrltlm obligations. In deciding to sell out the stockhold ers took ino account that they had de rived large profits from the construc tion of shlos for the United States navy. It is raid that the Union Iron Works made a clar profit of $5oO,000 In the bulldlns of the coast defender Monterey. Thy reasoned further that Uncle Sam was now provided with a first-class navy, and building enter prises in this brunch t work would not b brisk until some future time. The stockholders of the Union Iron Works ar-: James O'B. Ounn, Irving M. Scott, Henry T. Scott, jrge W. Dickie, M. Grimth, Charles Goodall, K. W. Hopkins, estate of Mrs. Coleman, 0- org--, W. Pr-Htixt, S. W. Wilson, 1- ouis Si. ms and P. Llllenlhal. Irving M. Scott and Henry T. Scott clean u;, -ach 1 000,000. Henry T. will be r-tained by the combine to manage the affairs of he r;nlon Iron Works. It is un-l-r,.ood that Irving M. will reiire from the activities of business life and perhajrt devote his time and talents to the public servif e. He will be in line to serve California In the Unitd Stat-s senate if the governor shall decide to appoint him or the leg islature ti ele'-t him for that service. The big combine i not relished in San Francisco. The syrdlcate cannot buiUJ better ships than the Oregon and Olyn.pla. No managers will pay higher wages to employes than the Scotts are paying, and the men at the yards will live a long time before they find -mplnyrs more considerate of th worklngmen than the Scotts have b-en. The present activity of the Union Iron Works wi:i be maintained for a considerable length of time. The naval craft In course of construction consists of two great bafi-:hips the Wisconsin an I Ohio the monitor Wyoming and the torpedo iKiats Preble. Paul Jones and Perry. It Is expected that a con tract for a three thousand ton cruiser will be awarded to the Union Iron Wo-ks In a few days. In addition to the woik for the navy, the freight ship California of 8,000 tons and the ferry boat San Pablo are In course of con structien at the yards. Although there Is much work on hand the apprehension exists that the syn-krovemor of Kentucky. My friend, Tay dicate in the future will place the build- ir, says he will aume the office and Ing of big ships In the yards where I .the responsibility, but I say to you labor and material are cheap. It lsi that the people of Kentucky are doing difficult to perceive any advantage to tn, assuming.

KENTUCKY FIREBRANDS. I So fine wh knew him ever doubt dj for n Instant .hat Ooebel tf Kentucky I was a ruffian of the cor -st cast, and v.hen the lemocr.Us eonven -d a few! rioiiths ago at Louisville .in I at the point of the pistol made him their inn-, dldate for governor, and whn after-1 ward in the heat of the campaign the! ambitious but decent leader of that I party, William J. Bryan, mumped the honorable old state In the braggart's behalf, even those who knew him as he was did't expwt that after defeat at the polls he would stilj further dis color an already blackened record by declaring that "evin Bill Bradley's bayonets" would nut prevent him from mounting the iied-al of the highest office in the gift of "his fellow-cltl-zens." That within the boundary lines of the Bluegrass state so contemptible a scoundrel could contrive to work his way to the chief magistracy, and al most suciwed'.'d, is a blot upon the fair name of Kentucky. It will be remem bered that preliminary to his contem plated candidacy he dwmed it neces sary to accomplish the passage of a bill placing the election machinery throughout the state absolutely un der his personal control. H knew that his notorious record was known In ev.?ry village, hamlet and crossraids throughout the slate, and that on his merits he would. be repu diated for the governorship of Ken tucky as Indignantly as Boss Croker would be repudiated for the presidency of the United States. Hence his at tempt to gather to his rescue the aid of the political machinery of the state. There is no violation of law or decotcy which this fellow would not stoop to. Indeed, before this article reaches the rader, Bill Gobil may have succeed ed In precipitating a conflict Involving scenes of riot and bloodshed, which even thei state militia may find it diffi cult to U'jI1, for as Governor Roosevelt said In a speech a few weeks ago at Cumberland, Va., In referring to Ooe bel "We ore going to beat hlrn at the polls, but we are not so sure we will beat him at the count." Roosevelt had had evidently taken an accurate meas urement of his man, for, a.andlng upon the steps of a Mlddlboro hotel a few days ago, addressnlg a crowa or nis sympathizers, Goebel said: "I believe that I have been elected in spite of the Louisville & Nashville rallr.m.1 nnd Kill Kruill -y's bayonets."
