Richardson (Vormerty @ member of the U. & Bhip- ping Board special investigating com- mittee and on expert on chipping affairs) SAN FRANCISCO, duly 20,— ‘Three hundred and fitty miltions worth of surplus ship materials, paid for by the people, made the plaything of Junk-ring specula- tion, while utter incompetence in keeping of accounts resulted in errors mounting to the mil- lions, Materials diverted two and three times in transit, finally used in boats, and settlements made for the boat construction, still charged on shipping board books to the original consignee instead of the actual consumer, two years after shipment. Millions of dollars’ worth of material sold to the junk-ring on resale credit basis without proper security, serving the ends of speculators, Materials in the millions sold, and sales not credited on the headquarters material books. Bids for supplies refused, the supplies immediately sold to lower bidders, and by them re sold to the higher bidders at a profit, ‘These amazing admissions are made by HM. B. Miller, former director of the shipping board supply and sales departinent, eee When FH. B. Miller succeeded J. Lee Allen as director of ship ping beard supply and sales de partment, while the Barde lump sum sale of materials was pend | ing, Miller found the books and accounts of the department “in rotten shape,” according to his ad missions. HUGE PRIVATE PROFITS FR RESALE PLAN He found, he says, the junk ring -—the most active plunderbund at work on America's war remains~ had managed to bring about a re sales basis—which still existe— which caused and is causing the people gigantic lomses, and resulted in the government holding for) these speculators materials which| could have been sold on a high mar ket—while the speculators went out to find buyers, and, after selling the supplies at big profits, came | back to the shipping board and purchased. ‘The resales basis works this way Millions of dollars’ worth of sup Plies were and are stored in ware houses and at yards on the Pu cific coast, at Cleveland on the Great Lakes, at Wilson's Point, Sparrows Point, New York, New London and Boston on the Atlantic coast and all along the Gulf goast an well JUNK SPECULATORS GET LIST OF MATERIALS The junk speculators would, thru indulgence of supply and sales dis trict directorn, secure lists of these materialn, classified as to kinds get prices at which they cauld from the shipping board. Then they would ascertain what the market waa. Next they terials on credit, to be paid for aa moved. Then, while the shipping board held these materials, paid $10,000,- 000 annual overhead in supply and males department, paid thousands and hundreds of thousands in ware house and yard storage rentals on these materials, the specuiaters— in some cases using the supply and sales department—would find pur- chasers for this material at huge cent—and would sell the supplies. SHIP BOARD SHOULD HAVE HAD PROFITS ‘When the mic was mate the speculator would have delivery j}made to the final purchaser from the shipping board warehouses, and would then pay supply and sales department for such material as had thus been sold. Miller admita that thru the sup- ply and sales department these same materials could have been sold for account of the shipping beard at the same prices secured $| by the speculators, In many cases, when the max ket sgeed, and while the mater- inls depreciated, the speculators aid not carry out their contracts people were left “holding | the bag.” | A case In point is the ‘nale of oakum in the Gulf and South Af | lantic districts, Evidence adduced before the {congressional investigating commit tee, and now admitted by Miller |to be true, showed thousands of }tons of oakum quoted in the tat sold at the time to Dietz & Co. of , | New York, for 7% cents a pound. s Representatives of the supply and sales department at New Orleans | previously had sold this oakum to | Ness & Co, of Savannah, at 9% | cents a pound and had taken Ness’ certified check to bind the deal. ‘The Ness sale was canceled by the Washington office of the supply and sales, ,and three days later this oaktim was sold to Dietz for 7% cents, and im- mediately resold by Dietz to Ness for 9% cents, At thls time the shipping board was buying oakum at 22 cents a pound, in some cases paying repair men 10 per cent profit for making the pur- chase, Millians of dollars’ worth of ma- terials sold had not been entered on the Washington books as sold at all, and stood still charged as surplus on hand.

S. SHIP SUPPLY CREDIT trict directors were selling ple's supplies to the junk absurd prices, extending credits without proper security; making contracts, In fact, which the gen- eral director himeelf had no av thority to make-—and Washington knew nothing about all this until shipping board special agent Ed. J Blaney uncovered these conditions at New Orleans and Jacksonville by following leads 1 guvé his de partment. After supplies then not “de- cdlared surplus had been sold under blanket contract in South- ern territory at 13% cents on the dollar, the supply and sales director of that district in- structed his various represents tives to sell these materials for account of the junk dealers “where is, as is,” at an enor- mous profit over prices paid the shipping board, thus using the People’s organization costing millions in overhead to promote Profits of junk companies, One such company thus Profiting was the Southern Scrap Material company of New Orleans. Another was the Seamen & Menke company of Jacksonville, Ma.
