Re: Structural Steel Dear Sir: In accordance with our understanding whi le the writ er was in Rock Springs, we have completed our check-up of the bills rendered by the Burkhardt people and find as follows: Burkhardt's invoice dated 7/27/36 562,800#@ 88.00 a ton = $ 24,736.20 Item Burkhardt Allen & Garcia Calculated Weight of Sheets 1-198 incl. less 19 4 ( voided) 525,982# 520,837# Allowance for overrun of plates, A.I.s.c. rules (Assumed @ ½%) 2,630# 2,604# ( 3) Weight of field bolts and rivets 11,819# 5,000# ( 4) Allowance for shof co st of paint A.I.s.c. rules ( ~%) 2, 680// 2,617# Claimed for weldi ng rod, not allowed by A.I.s.c.

For instance, all riYets were computed as 3/4 11 diameter instead of making allowance for the 5/811 and 1/211 used, as provi ded for in the I nstitute rules. They did not in all cases make due allowance for material that was cut i n multiples from material of larger dimension as provided for in the Institute rules. Then too, in a great many instances they billed material to the next larger inch before multiplying and then again jumped to the nex t larger pound in the weight. All of these practices together account for our difference of 5145#. We believe our we ight of 520 ,83?# to be a fair and ample one. Item 2 was arrived at by thei r arbitrarily assuming 20% of the total weight of the job to be plates and assuming 2½% for �/ /· George B. Pryde .•. • Page 2 9/30/36 overrun on the 20% or -}% on the whole job. While this is not strictly in accordance with the institute rul es, we have accepted their premises, as it would require a great deal of tedious calculating to arrive at the true figure -which would be only several hundred pounds leas than assumed. I tem 3 sho\7S a wide variation. Burkhardt claims the shop actually shipped this weight, altho they could offer no proof in substantiation. The amount far exceeds our requisition. The records of your office kept by your Mr . Albert Sellers, Material Clerk, show only 25 kegs of bolts and rivets received. Rivets weigh 200# per keg and bolts slightl y less. Giving them the benefit of 200# for all kegs·, we can arrive at only 5000/J . Item 4. The Institute rules allow½% of Items 1 and 2. Item 5. is claimed by Burkhardt but not provi d ed for in the Institute rules. Item 6 is claimed by Burkhardt, altho no p roof was offered in substanti ation. A check-up of our mill order shows this item to be without foundation. °\le, therefore, hold that oui· wei ght of 531,058# is just and ample and recommend you settle on this basis. It must be remembered that you authorized Burkhardt to ship the last steel L/CL and you paid the entire freight. The carload rate should. be deducted from their bi 11 . Burkhardt also rendered extra bills for addi ti.anal bolts and rivets ordered by their erector after the l ast steel was forwarded. Two of them carry the no ta ti on , "For bolting purlins instead of riveting . " Our specifications always called for bolting. Your records indicate only 3 of the 4 i tems received. We feel Burkhardt is entitled to only the actual weight received at the contract price per pound or ton less the carload freight, since you again paid the entire freight. We list the invoices.

Eugene McAuliffe, Pres., The Union Pacific Coal Co., 1416 Dodge Street, Omaha, Nebraska. Dear Mr. McAuliffe:- RE: Engineering Cost - Job 1150. Of the several unfortunate things which happened in building the Reliance tipple, there is one that especially affects us; and which I had hoped to discuss with you in person. To date, A. & G. have spent on this job a total of nearly $13,400.00, and you will recall that there has been authorized an amount for engineering of approximately ~~12,000.00. Vle have made up a statement talcen from our books showing the actual out of pocket cost, together with payments made, etc., and are enclosing a copy of this statement herewith. I am also anclosing a statement of extra expense incurred by A. & G., which you may feel should be taken care of by your company. This statement covers items of time and traveling expenses in facilitating work in connection with the structural steel and also, additional time spent by i1r . Chapman over the three month's ~ontract period, which it was contemplated that we furnish. In the cost summary you will note that there was a saving of over ~1900.00 due to purchases made through us and for which we advanced money and in return, billed you at consumer's cost. This item, together with the payments made to date, would indicate that if you are willing to allow the extras v1hich we have tabulated, there would be an e.mount of $1468.58, which if paid, would then show an amount for us of $37.39, above our costs, as being applicable to supervision and overhead in carrying this job through the office. None of the cost figures include any time of officers of the company other than for the time which Mr. von hleding and myself spent at Rock Springs. Vle appreciate that the items of extra time and expense were incurred without your authority, and unless you feel that this compensation is due us, and you see your way clear to certify same, v11e \'J ill close the matter by sending a credit memorandum to Rock Springs for the amount of savings made in material purchases and thereby take a loss on the job of about $1500.00 . �~. ,J, G...A:RCIA COMPANY -~ a- ,._coNSff.'O'CTIN<> ENGINEEns SHBl<T Ne>. _ _:..;2:...,:o;___ McCOAMJCK OUILOIPiO .)3~ 0..HlC.t410AN Ave. CRICAGO Mr. Eugene McAuliffe . . . . . . . . . . . . 10/21/36 o We hope that the plant is proving satisfactor y and you are of the opinion that, a lth ough the costs ran over our estimated figures, th e money was not wasted and that you are really getting value receivedo Yours very truly, .iUL EN & G.ARCI A COMP ANY HBC :ID., Enclo BY ~ ~ / �I • h October 21Stp 1 9 3 60 ....

COAL CO. #9500. ~ e have fo r attention your compl a int of the 26th inst. relative to the weight charged you on our invoice of July 27th for 024 ,?63.20 covering 562,800# of structural steel on the above operation and hasten to reply with the thought in mind that 30 days have already elapsed since our invoice has been mailed you. As expressed in your letter, our weight is based in accordance with the rules l aid down by the A.I . of s.c., with a more than usual amount allowed for contingencies predicated on the premise that conditions in this particular situation warranted it. We prefer specifically to the wide discrepancy bet1Neen the mill uxx order list and the shop details furnished us. We cannot be a party to any controversy that might arise involving railroad weight as our position in this regard is clear as we refused to be a party to it at its inception. The Institute as well as most fabricators recognize that it is not a true yard-stick by which materials or service are measured. As to complying with your request for a copy of our computations, we consider this entirely impractical as it would merely foment a controversy via mail that would be unnecessarily expensive and doubtful as to its real worth in bringing the matter to an early and successful conclusion. ','!e suggest instead that you arrange to have one of your officials contact us here in Denver. 1:re shall be glad to spread our records before you and lend every assistance in bringing the matter to a prompt conclusion. Assuring you of our co-operation at alltimes and awaiting your pleasure in the premises, we are, Very truly yours, E. BURKHARDT & SONS STEEL &. IRON ,.~'KS .co• BY O.B./0 CC-lllr.Geo.B.Pryde.

CHICAGO Aug . 28th, m936o Mr. Eugene McAuliffe, Preso, The Union Pacific Coal Co., 1416 Dodge Street, Omaha, Nebraskao Dear Sir:Confirming your telephone conversation with our Mr. Cooley , we wish to advise that the status of the additional chain and tilting spurs for the trip maker is as follows: Under date of the 12th ins·t., we received Mro Hunter's order Noo 30148 f or 12 sp~rs and 12-M- 2 attachmentso· The spurs are of c ast steel and are supplied by a local steel foundry and finished by the 1'ieller Mfg. Company. The lii-2 attachments which are in reality the cen·t er links of the chain, are drop forgings and the dies for malting the same are had only by the Link-Belt Company a:t their Indianapolis plant and the Wilmot Engineering Company at Hazelton, Pennao On receipt of the above or der the Weller Mfg. Company immediately contacted both firms and found the Wilmot people unable to guarantee any reasonable delivery at all , and the Link-Belt Company accepted the order for two weeks delivery. In expediting the shipment, it soon became apparent to the Weller Company that this promised date would not be held and realizing the importance of getting this material to you as quickly as possible, had a pattern made up and 12 attachments cast. These, together with the spurs were received and finished and are now ready for shipment. However, we realize that the M-2 attachments being the inside link of the chain would possibly wear the pins quicker than they should, due to the combination of cast steel on an alloy steel pin being somewhat of an experiment, as these two materials are not ordinarily run together. The V/eller Company took the precaution of getting the best close grained steel castings possible and carefully machining them to get smooth bearing. However, in .the meantime , we received Mr. Hunter's second order, No. 30372 on the 21st inst. , covering 12 additional spurs and M-2 attachments, and on the 24th, his order #30407 covering 51' of additional chain made up with spur attachments on 18" centers. These three combined orders called for a total of 61 ot the M-2 attachments and this was too large a quantity to experiment with in cast steel, an~ the Weller Mfgo Company therefore, again placed an order with ~ink-Belt Company, ind due to the larger quantity, will undoubtedly get a better delivery, which is promised for two weeks from today. �.. > G.AR CIA C OMP.ANY o a COJ<snlVC'JD<G ZNGINJIJIRS ~ 2__,_ o__ SHOT No.. _ _ MCCOPMI CKeUILDl"O .;132 e.

In the meantime, we will do a ll possible to push Link-Belt Company for the M-2 attachments covered by 1leller•s order No.L62360 to the LinkBelt Companyo The rollers and lugs far the car feeder chain covered Hunter's order #30231, left Tiffin, Ohio yesterday, the 2?th, and should arrive on the job promptlyo by Mro Yours very truly , ALLEN & GARCIA CCMPANY V/VM:HL CC-MroF.A.Hunter CC-MroGoH.Chapman BY /4/ / / . - , A l ;· ' /!l'lk~ -,,...,..,,___ , 1 1 , J- �, ._;, .....

Garcia Allen & Garcia Co .' 332 s . Michigan Ave:, Chicago, Illinois. Dear Mr . Garcia: Progress at Burkhardt's has been a little more rapid this past we ek. They have picked up three more men and one more layout man will be a t the plant either Saturda y or 1,fonday . 1 There are now between four and five carloads of material fabricated. Mr. Burkhardt advised me that his Erector and crew are at Colorado Springs on a job, and he believes they will complete thatjob on iNednesday, the 22nd. He hopes to have the erecting equipment back into Denver by the latter part of next week, and he will try to make shipment of tools and some steel a few days before May 1st. He hopes also to keep the erection crew busy after that time . He said that of course something might occur that would delay this, but this is the schedule which he will endeavor to carryyout. Of course I personally feel that this job has been rather . slow due to various features outlined in the letters I have written you.' However, I will say that the plant is now turning out material much more rapidly. At the present time about 90 to 95 percent of the shop ·is on the U.P.job. Of course there are some odd jobs that come into the plant that must be taken care of outside of the U.P.work . Mr. Burkhardt a~ain called to my attention that Mr . Chapman or one of your men would be of great assistance at this time. I advised him that you intended to send Mr. Chapman as soon a~ he ~s completed design work on which he is now working. This job 1s still of much concern to Mr. Burkhardt and his brothers, and I believe they are endeavoring to do the be st they can. I again suggested tb him the addition of more employes but he frankly admits they are unable to obtain them. ' I will again report progress to you during the coming week.

He showed me a wire he has f rom his brother in which he states he has t wo "layout# men, and his reply to his brother was to bring these two men to Denver. The wire was dated .npril 9th. He also showed me an ad inthe Chicago Tribune of April 5th, where he has advertised for layout men . The men that are coming to Denver are from the nmerican Bridge company, and they should assistinmeasurably in getting this job out 0 I note with considerable satisfaction that you will have your Mr Chapman in Denver, and I trust that it will be in the near future as•I am satisfied that Mr. Chapman will be of considerable help tor rapid fabrication. Progress this week has bee n rather slow as conveyor frames and elevator heads, requiring considerable rolling and slow fabrication, were being turned out this week. I found two pieces of structural steel that are being built for the climax company, and asked Mr. Burkhardt whether or not this work was delaying the U.P.Job. He advised me that it did not delay it as these pieces were already cut and had been delayed for about two months, and the only work done on these pieces was welding, which was done at night. The shop is still practically 100 pe rcent on the U.Pl,job and by Monday morning 20 tons of fabricated steel should be added to the piles now on the ground. In reply to the last sentence of your last paragraph concerning shipment of steel, I have taken this matter up with Mr. Burkhardt again and he advises that he cannot ship steel at this time for the reason that he would have to send a crew to Reliance to unload this steel and that no erection could progress continuously until more steel was' fabricated; so that he would be compelled to pay his crew at Reliance without sufficient steel to keep them busy. In this connection, I again took up with him as to when he will make shipment of tools and commence erection, and he is still f . , the opinion that he can commence operations in the field by May 1 to erector is now in Chicago and no doubt will call on you today ts• His l or omorrow. 1 EXamination at the shop this morning discloses that are on the U.P.fob with the exception of a welder and one all men / welder is used on the U.P. job whenever welding is necessaman, and this Yours very truly, ry.

Garcia:Work at the Burkhardt plant is still progressing along the same l"ines, al though the work at the present time is much simpler and is being turned out more rapidly. Mr. Hermann Burkhardt advises me that one of his brothers is leaving for Chicago today to see if he can locate a couple of "layout" men that will assist in this work. , We went into the matter of speeding up this work, and the only suggestion I can make is as outlined in my letter to you of .ooarch 28th. The presence of one of your men familiar with this job in the shop, would materially assist in rapid fabrication. ' Fabrication is still progressing as per the schedule or the drawings sent to the shop.

Mr. Eugene MoAuliffe, Pres., The Union Pacific Coal Company, 1416 Dodge Street, Oma.ha, Nebraska. Dear flllr . McAuliffe:- I am sorry to say that after scouring this section of the country for layout men for Burkhardt and obtaining three, Mr. Burkhardt advises us today that it is "against his principles to pay traveling expenses." Of course, we cannot expect men to go to Denver for a few weeks work and pay their own traveling expenses, so I guess Mr. Burkhardt will have to struggle along as best he can.

I n regard to the staten ent t::iat 50~5 of the steel is fabricated I bee "to ad.vise ti.lat there is some discrepancy as to this percentage. l~ Herr.iann Burkhardt, who is in charge of the office and administration, and his brother v/i.10 is in charge of the shop ·;• are at some variance in regard to this percentaP-e. ..a-. Surkhardt who has charge of the sho_p does not believe that 50~ is fabricated. _;r . Hermann Burkhardt and his chief engineer feel that in view of the f irst ~07; be~ng mor~ difficult of fabrication means that the job is really 50}~ fabricated insofar as the time element is concerned. 0 Examination at the shop discloses that this job has full preference, and that it is being put through as rapidly as labor and facilities of the shop allow. ln making inquiries I find that they are short of "layout" men and I suegested to r-sr. Burk~rdt tha~ re:haps 1ou could :;:,ut him in touch with two good "layo1:t" men ~n you: vic!nity~ ,~Ir. Burkhardt advised me to write you this morning, making thi~ su5gestion to you. He states that he could probably use these men for six weeks or more, andafter the comnl _ tion of your job he may have other work that would make the trip to i>e:ver worth while for these men. I feel that they are doing everything possible to c•et .,_h. . out for you. There is this drawback, however - you must re~emb ... i~ Job faQrication in Denver has fo~low~d ra~he! simple lines, such ase~uffa~ steel and bridges, and steel or~ani~ations in ~enver are not fully f . . din~s tipple fabrication.

He advises me that he has difficulty in getting layout men that are familiar \·:i th this character of work. I would suggest th~t if tv10 layout men are located , the.t you conn:nunicate with Mr.Burkhardt as to their dispos ition. I ·.vant to again call to your attention that the time of .a,Iay 1st raerois t l1s.t he will have sufficient steel fabricated to make shipment so tha:i, erection can co:m:ience, and ~hat. from .Hay 1st on, he will be able to continuously shi p completed fabrication so as to not retard erection . A snow-storm here Sunday and ij onday retarded some of the work J-hat i s done outside the shop. :;orlc at the shop this morning discloses ~hat with the exception of the painting of a light roof truss and the uiuoading of a car of material, all fabrication v1as being done on Job No . 9500.

I s uspect tha t :aurkhardts have taken on more rer:i.unera ti ve work and a r e g iving it preferred attention . I have checlceci over the drawings e.nd their delivery and can see no reason ,.:hy Burkha rdt should not have started fabri cation after Lir. Chapr.1an ' s visit to the shop l ast .January.

The outfit is either res e ntful and sore a bout something, or as stated above, they have hif her priced •::ork in the shop . As a practi cal suggestion, I believe you should get in touch •,;:i th Sam 'i"escher and ha.ve him visit the shop every day or o:ftene r i:f necessa ry, and ride them hard. This nas done on' the National Fu.el job a t Denver a nd brought result s . I wish you would do this and Tescher is exa ctly the man, v1ould do anything possible to help you and is loceted at the right spot. I will talce c are of this end of it and betwe en us we will get results. The manuf'acturers of all the rest of the material are begging "for s l1i pping orders and if' Mr . ~'escher will do what 1 think he can, I see no reason rvby the job should not • come through on time .

The main unit consisting of dump station building, conveyor :frames, etc., of that p ortion ivhich could be erected first , went for~.<Jard. to Burkhardt on .January 6th, 1936 . This part of the work could be handled as a unit and if they are up to date on their fabrication should be ready to ship by t!1is time so that erection could be started on April 1st as anticipated . During the month of .January vie forwarded them in addition, the detail drawings of the r efuse conveyor .

The cap acity of the unit is aoo.,ooo BTO output per hour; the overall e:fficiency is 85%. If' y ou would be interested in this equipment, we would be very glad to quote you a price upon receipt of your inquiry, giving us some idea of your probl ems. The principle of the unit is that we discharge air f'rom fans over a corrugated sheet, v.dlich surrounds the combustion chamber. Fins are welded on the inside and the outside of the corruge tions, in order to facilitate conduction. The gases of combustion et no time come in contact with the air v.hich is discharged into the building. As far as the fire hazard goes, the unit is accepted on that ba sis very readily by ell fire insurance companies. We trust that '17e may have the pleasure of ser ving you.
