THE ARMoR MILL.
Secretary Herbert Opposes the Creation
OF a Government Plant.

Washington, March 5.-The senate COM
mittee on naval affairs recently asked
Secretary Hei bert for an expression OF
his views on the bill introduced by SEN
tor Smith providing for the establishment
OF government plant for making armor
in the District OF Columbia. He has Just
sent TO the committee the following let
ter on the subject;
1T would not. In my opinion, be advis-
able, as a business proposition, for the
government TO establish and maintain
such a plant as that contemplated by the
bill referred to. for various reasons, the
most Important OF which are deemed TO be
the following:
'First-It would be necessary to haul
from long distances and at considerable
expense the requisite coal. iron ore, or
crude iron and other materials used In
the manufacture OF armor
"Second-An establishment large enough
to handle the heaviest class OF plates
would have an output II kept at work reg
ularly throughout the year OF much
larger quantity OF armor than the govern
ment would be likely to need. II would
not pay TO erect such a plant and then
allow II to remain idle the larger part of
the year.
'Third-Workers In steel OF sufficient
skill and knowledge to be employed in
the manufacture OF armor plates receive
very high wages, and II would not be
practicable TO hire such men when armor
is to be manufactured and discharge them
when their services are no longer requir-
