TO MAKE LRMOR-PLATE
Preliminary Steps for the EstabItshme,
of a Gorsrnment Plant.

Preliminary Steps for the Establishment
of n Gorsrnment Plant.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 5.-Acting
Secretary Roosevelt to-day appointed a
board of officers to estimate the cost and
advise methods for CARRYING out the inten-
ton of Congress to establish a Govern
ment plant for manufacturing armor-
plate. The appointment of the board
was contingent on the refusal of big ship
building concerns to undertake armor
manufacture. Charles Cramp of PhiIa-
delphia had a conference with Roosevelt
and the chief of ordnance to-day. He told
them his firm could not go into the armor
business on large scale. He was willing,
however, to supply small quantity of
diagonal armor, which Is usually built
into the structure of ship in order to
prevent delay in the completion of YES
sells now in course of construction. Con-
gress fixed $500 as the maximum price for
armor. Cramp said his firm might be
cble to make plates 1T that figure.
The Union Iron Works of San Fran
cisco has already declined to go into the
armor industry, and it is expected the
only other concern invited to supply the
Governmental the Newport News Ship
building Company-will likewise decline,
so there is nothing for the Navy Depart
ment to do except to direct the board to
proceed with Its inquiry. The board will
meet next Monday at the Navy De-
partment to outline a plan of proceed lure.
