ARMOR PLATE PLANT.
Little Chance For The Government to Buy OF
Build One.


Washington, Nov. Inflammation
reached the Navy Department this
morning to the effect that Bethlehem
and Carnegie companies have purchas-
ed the right to use the Krupp process
of manufacturing armor plate, which
action is accepted in naval circles to
mean that the steel companies have no
idea of selling their plants to the Gov
eminent or abandoning the manufaC-
ture of armor plates for the Govern.
an industry which has been of so much
profit to them in the past.
There seems to be little prospect now
that the next congress will consider
seriously the establishment of Gov
eminent armor plate factory. The ar
NOR plate board has practically aban
doned the consideration of the location
of site for q factory and the genera
impression is that the Carnegie an,
Bethlehem companies will continue t
receive the Government contracts il
the future.
