Secretary Long Asks for an In
creased Limit of Cost.

WASHINGTON. April 10.-The secre-
tary of the navy has formally rejected the
proposals Of the Illinois Steel Company for
furnishing armor plate for use In the
navy. Secretary Long has referred the
armor plate question to congress. upon
the recommendation OF Capt W. T. Samp-
son. OF the bureau of ordnance. The sec
rotary has addressed a communication TO
congress. requesting an increase in the
limit OF cost for each ton OF armor from
$500 to 500. With the larger limit he feels
sure that there viii be general compe-
tition among the armor manufacturers Of
the country for the contracts for the 500
tons OF this material for the battieships
Alabama. Illinois and Wisconsin.
Vice President Palmer. OF the Illinois
Steel Company. says that the proposition
submitted by his firm had been prepared
with the idea that congress would act
upon II. In his letter TO congress Secre-
tary Long recItes the fact that the de-
partmcnt. in accordance with the provis-
ions OF the recent naval appropriation
bill. advertised for armor for the battle
ships above named. But one bid was re-
ceived that of the Illinois Steel Com
pany. and the propositions therein con-
tanned were OF such a character as re-
CURED action upon them by congress. The
company admitted that II had no armor
manufacturing plant. and considerable
time would have 10 be spent In the cree
ton OF such a plant. In the meantime.
the secretary explained. the hulls of the
three hattleships under construction
would be completed. and the government
would be compelled 10 pay heavy penal
ties for delay In the delivery of the arrnor.
For this reason he had decided that he
could not award the contract 10 the Illi-
nofs Steel company. and requested the
increase OF the limit OF cost. He expressed
a hope that early action would be taken.
