HILL AGAINST MONOPOLY. ----v- Connecticut Congressman Favors Open ‘ Competition for Submarine Boats. During the consideration in the House “in Washington of the Senate amendment providing tor the con- struction of three submarine boats Congressman Hill objected to the provision to have them built exclu- sively by‘the Holland Company. The alert representative from the Fourth District having the interests at his. constituents in view. proposed an amendment. throwing the construc- tlon of the boats open to public com- ‘ petition. M1. Hill spoke as follows: “Mr. Speaker: This is 11 plain busi- ness for the House to consider. The Senate amendment provides that it shall be the duty—4t is made munda- tory—~cf the secretary of the navy Cb blly three Holland submarine torpedo boats as soon as he shall have tested to accompany green corn tlmbsles but a :; be heaped by spoonfuls on top of tho ‘ . is very thick.“ $185 ..

Tile committee “The amendment 1 have offered takes away the mandatory provision and leaves it to the discretion of the secretary of the 11' vy whether he boats. and leaves charater of the boat. and leaves the limit of cost the same as it is now. “My reason for offering this amend- ment was to simply throw the con- struction of those three boats open to public competition. There is an or- ganized concern 1n the district which have the honor to represent. trial is building a. subatontlnland working submarine boat, engaged every day ll: the explosion of rocks under water. They wish the privilege of making 1 bid on these boats if they are. to in built. i am fully ill accord with thr committee that we ought to insist on the position of the House. and 1101 agree to build any of these boats at this time; but if we are to build them the work should be thrown open to public competition. “1 submit it to the judgment of the House for a vote. My amendmenn strikes out all reference to the idol 'und boat. and allows everyone. wheth- or in Pennsylvania. Virginia. ldnho or elsewhere to bid upon this proposition. 1 do not know or care now many com- panics or individuals are engaged in this work“ 1 simply know that good. substantial. men in the Fourth District '11' Connecticut. who are able to put. up rile money and carry out their con- tracts. desire the privilege of bidding m the construction of these boats. l1 ‘hey are to be built. "in my judgment, they should not be built at all at present. i am given to understand that the Holland bout flue 11cc" lll competition with nine different types. but i don't cure If they compeb ed with nine hundred. 'l‘he compotl lion should be open to every respon .lblc concern. This is a proposition upon which everyJ‘oaponl-llble concern in the United States should have the privilege of bidding. The proposition of the Senate burn out everyone but one particular bidder. making it mund- lliory oh the secretary of the navy to buy nothing but the Holland submar the boat. My amendment is fair and equitable. and if the persons of whom 1 lellk cannot meet the specifications. they will not put in a bid. if they can. they will. and thus will equal oppor- lunlty be given to all."
