STEEL CUT IS VOLUNTARY Torpedo-Manufacturing Concern ' Is Brought to Terms by Invoking Law Authorizing Govern ment to Fix Fair Profit. WASHINGTON. April . A saving of $18,000,000 in the Navy's bill for steel during 1917 and of more than $2,000,000 in a single order for torpedoes was represented In price agreements ef fected with the manufacturers today by Secretary Daniels. ihe schedule of prices for the years supply of steel, agreed on at a confer ence between the Secretary and J. A. Farrell. president of the United States Steel Corporation, is the same the Navy paid for its 1916 consignment and con siderably below the current market. Details as to the amount or exact prices were not made public In the case of torpedo orders, Mr. Daniels brought the manufacturing concern, the E. W. Bliss Company, of Brooklyn, to terms by invoking sev eral days ago for the first time the new law, authorizing the Government to set a reasonable price for Navy, material and compel private plants to abide by them. Agreements Are Voluntary. Mr. Farrell acted In the steel price negotiations as vice-chairman of the special committee of the American Iron and Steel Institute, recently appointed by the Council of National Defense to facilitate the securing of construction material. Through voluntary agreements pre viously effected with copper, brass, mu nitions, shipbuilding, and other con cerns, the department already has saved many times the amount repre sented in today's steel and torpedo agreements. Except in cases of necessity. Secre tary Daniels will not Invoke the new law permitting seizure of plants not offering to turn over supplies at a rea sonable price. Although officials permitted It to be come known several days ago that the Government had exerted its new au thority to prevent exorbitant war prof its, it was not announced until today against what company the action was taken. Government Fixes Price. The department first asked. It was said, that the Bliss Company reduce its torpedo bids, and" when it found that a reduction of $300 per torpedo was the best that could be secured by negotia tion, Mr. Daniels ordered the ordnance bureau to determine the cost of produc tion and add a reasonable profit, thus fixing a fair price. The bureau fixed a price of $1578 per torpedo under the. original bid submitted, and the Secre tary informed the Bliss Company that it would be required to fill orders promptly at the new figures. Today representatives or the company In formed the Secretary that they would gladly accept the order on the new basis and speed up manufacture. "The result of invoking this new pro vision of the Naval bill," Mr. Daniels said, "has saved the Department $2, 193,696 on one order. We expect all munition makers to furnish the Gov ernment what it needs at prices which nvestigatlon shows to be reasonable so that It will not be necessary to take over any plants."
