BLUFF FAILS-PERSUASION FOLLOWS.
W II ION the bill fur a government armor plate plant was
find introduced, the armor plate trust, composed of
the .Midvale, liethlehem and (!aruegie plants, notified the
government that if the government erected .such a plant,
the tnmt would at once raise the price of armor plate to
an exorbitant figure.
The bluff ami bluster of the armor bully failed to sen re
congreHK and -the senate passed the bill. The trust then
changed its tactics and is now entreating and pleading with
congress, and has offered to cut the price from ijM'Jij per
ton to $1)05 per ton for five veal's, if the government does
not erect the plant. A campaign of pen-suasion is on, and
newspaper offices are Hooded with appeals from the arm
ament barons.
In twenty years the I rust has robbed the government
of 7(),()()(M)()( stales Secretary of the Navv Daniels, who
thus sunimari.es the history of armor pinto bids:
lit IHO wo had tho first competition fur armor, saya Secretary Pun
lent. The Midvale compuny bid 3 16 par Ion. Thin brought the prko down
from 1 120.
If eoiiipvltllou hail continued the prlrn would never have bean hlRher
than $316. and the iumriiuinl would havo saved 21,7ua,2flii. This sum
paid lo armor makers In oxtess of a fair price, has prucllcully paid for tho
plants of all Ihreo of the comimiilca making armor.
If tho Kovcriiiiittnt hud erected a plant of Its own In 1SH I- the Kvcrn
meiit tmlit) would own thme urnior plants
In I'i7 congrosH fixed the iirlte ut lltuu, but tha maiiiifuctiirfra re
lused to si' 1 1 nny until conRrehs lncresjM'il the limit lo f 100, ami It after
wards took off thu limit.
Thinking they stood In no danger from a gtivorHuiant plant, tho com
panies put up the prlre In $15 1, In 1912.
When I became aeorntary of the nay. I seiirt)d a rtwliirtloii to flio
anil then to $4iT, and now the Uethlehem company holila out tho itimiKlnp
bait of tnx.'i for five yours now that they sea tougross will no longer aland
for extortionate prlcea.
Hut after rive yaara, what gttarautao would (ho goMTHiiieiit have (hat
prlcea would not again go soaring?
Kvery hotly knows the answer. The only way to secure
a square deal is by government ownership of a plant and
the competition entailed thereby will keep the price down.
The three armor plate" firms practically admitted to
Secretary Daniels that they divided the colli racts between
them. Seeing the handwriting on the wall, the eleventh
hour proposal lo treat the government fairly should not
deceive anyone.

A "GOVERNMENT" NITRATE PLANT.
IX TIIKOItV, the goverumeiil ownership of a nitrate
plant for the iiianiil'arlurc In hvdro elect ric process of
nitrate I nun tin- air a part ol the plans for preparedness
is correct. The government should own and operate all
munition plants as well as plants manufacturing the es
sentials of munitions, both as a safeguard and to take. the
private profits out of war. Ihil the plan offered in 'the
army bill now before congress is in reality a pnr!ncnhip
affair in that Ihe government furnishes the capital for the
Investment and turns the profits over to a private corpora
tion. The plan provided in Section H'2 of the army bill, which
whs reject etl hv the house by a narrow margin and i now
lH'fore Ihe senate, provides for Ihe expenditure by the gov
eminent of Jr'JI.tXKl.tMM) in building a power plant for the
Alabama Power company at .Mussel Shoals, and then per
mit the corporation to operate the plant and sell the nitrate
to the government at a profit, fur munitions, and to the
general public for fertilizer.
A strong lobby headed by Frank S. Washburn, prest
dent of the American Cyananitl coinpanv ut Niagara Falls
and promoter of many power plants in the south, has been
for months urging the project. The lobbying activity is
such that it has already called forth the iiitndiicttoii of a
resolution of inquiry.
