THE BIDS REJECTED
The Navy Department Rejects All the
Bids for Armor Plate for the New
WarshipS.

Washington, August 1.-THE navy
department this afternoon decided to
rejet all bids for armor plate presented
to the department yesterday. 1t is
stated at the department that this
does not mean that the alternative
plan of erecting a government armor
plate factory will be adopted, although
the secretary of the navy has at his
disaosal s4,OOO,OO0 with which to start
such a plant in case satisfactory terms
cannot be made with the private man
mufacturers. 1t is stated today that
new advertisements will be issued as
speedily as possible and the contrac-
tors will be given another chance to put
their bids into such shape as Will be
acceptable to the government.
The reason assigned for the rejection
of bids is the demand from all the bid
ders for too large a proportion OF the
entire amount Of armor plate. The low
est bidder, the Midvale Steel Company
was not satisfied to accept less thar
10000 tons of the sc, 600 tons to be con-
tracted for. At the rate of delivery
proposed by the Midvale Company, the
government could not have gotten its
armor to complete the ships now ir
course of constitution within reason.
able time.
The other two bidders. the Bethle-
hem and Carnegie Companies, were
much higher in their figures, and in
sisted on having the whole amount ot
ar-mor divided between them on equa.
terms.
The action Of the government ir
promptly rejecting the bids is taken tC
indicate a determination to bring the
contractors to reasonable terms. On the
other hand, it is said by some of the
officials in the department that the
government probably will be willing tc
make considerable concessions before
adopting the serious alternative of es.
tabHshing a plant of its own.
