NEW ARMOR FACTORY SCHEME fSrlpps News Association) Washington, D. C . June 20 Naval officers are surprised to learn that the Navy Department is making an investi gation into the cost of armor ptate pro duction. The call for information on the subject incorporated in last year's Naval Bill was completely forgotten in the De partment and it was only after inquiry was made by the House Naval Committee a month or more ago respecting the re port that the demand was remembered There was no time set for sending in the report, and as Congress will soon adjourn the information it not expected to be ready before the end of this session. In the mean time, however, a board of three ordinance expert has gone to Pitts burg and tlethlehem to ascertain if any ;rr7.wn mu oo oouinea irom uie armor plate makers in regard to the processes adopted since the last Inquiry into the subject The armor plate people are not obliged to give information to a naval board, and it is expected the inquiry will bring little to th Department which is not already known. The Department authorities are not in favor of building an armor plate plant, and it is known that the contractors find themselves without much work in prospect. The next contracts for armor will be for the two battleships, theSouth. Carol ina and the Michigan, and as the present Congress hasauthorizedonlyjone addition al armor carrying ship the amount of government orders for that material will not constitute enough to keep the private plants busy. It is considered that future battle-ship construction will not justify the establishment of an armor plate fact ory by the government and no one in authority looks for any information which will enable the Secretary of the Navy materially to reduce the contract price of armor for the coming battleships. The fact that no announcement was. made at the Navy Department of the detail of the Board of Inquiry into the question led to the adoption in the House of another res olution calling for up-to-date information on armor plate cost. ; .
