ARMOR PLATE AT OLD RATES
New Steel Pool Will Even Go a
Tr.hs Lower.
Pledges Were Secured From the Manu-.
fucturcrs Before'the Naval BIZ
Was Agreed To.

The combination OF steel interests OF
the United States which has been expected
during the past week, known as the Steel
Pool, and which comprises all or the
largest steel plants OF the country, has
been widely discussed in Washington.
1t has been generally commented upon by
members or Congress, the Impression being
that a marked advancein armor plaic rates
would follow the combination. the change
in rates being chiefly for the purpose
of securing more lucrative cont tra cts.from
the government for the aymoring of the
four battleshps which ii is now proposed
10 construct, appropr iatiOns for them
being made i'll the naval bill which passed
the House last week.
Congressman Amos J Cummings of New
York. a member Of the House Committee
on Naval Affairs and chairman OF the COM
mittee during the last Congress, gave out
an important interview ON the subject
this morning. He said:
Before the formation OF the trust but
while the negotiations for the combination
OF steel interests were pending. the Navy
Department communicated directly with
the manufacturers who had charge OF the
big deal, asking what changes in steel
and armor plate rates would result if the
pool were formed. a pledge was secured
from them that rates would not be changed
that is. they would not bc advanced"
The fact has transpired only today that the
negotiations between the Navy Depart
nient and the manufacturers resulted More
satisfa ctorily than Congressman Cum
mings version of the matter indicates.
lt'is said that the government officials
made an arrangement by which the armor
plate for the proposed battleships will be
supplied at lower rate than has hereto
fore obtained in contracts for such work.
this arrangement being completed before
the Naval Committee of the House reported
the bill containing the provision for the
ships to the House. Had the steel men re-
fused to enter into this agreement the
proposition to build the ships would have
been defeated.

CLOSED POUCH SERVICE.
Goes Into Effect on the Fourteenth
Street Line. TOmnrrnM.

The closed pouch mail service on the
Fourteenth street libe of the Capital TraC-
tiOn Company. which has been decided upon
TO facilitate the delivery OF mails Ia the
residents OF Mount Pleasant and vicinity
will be started tomorrow.
The schedule which will then go into
effect provides for the mail for that section
being taken in closed pouch from he city
postofriCe To the corner OF Sixth street
and Pennsylvania avenue. where il will be
placed I'm charge of the gripman on -Four
tecnth street car. BY him il will be de-
livered at substation F, which is at the
terminus Of the road and there il will be
distributed by the station keeper among the
seven letter carriers who deliver i'll that dis
trict.
The closed pouch will make thirty-seven
trips a week. six each week day. and one
on Sunday. AS the service extends. it is
probable that the pOstoffiCe authorities
will put on n mail car similar to the one
on the Navy Yard line. on the Fourteenth
street branch. In the meantime. however.
the single closed pouch service will prove
ample to accommodate the mails for that
section OF the city, and will greatly ia
Cilitate their delivery.
The new service was to bavc gone into
effect yesterday. as stated in The Times.
and the postoffiCe authorities were ready
but 1t was ascertained that no accomotia-
tion had been provided for the letter car
riers. So the delay was necessary. The fur
niture for the carriers room arrived ycster-
day however. and it is expected that al
will be in readiness by tomorrow.
