MONEY IN ARMOR|
And Gun Making, Is the Opinion
of the Chief of the Ord
nance Bureau.
WANTS A GOVERNMENT PLANT
States a Big sum He Could Have
Saved on Two Contracts for
Guns and Protection.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The recently
awarded contract for 10000 tons of
armor plate by the secretary of navy,
6OOO tonsof which to he made by the
NIidvale company and 5000 tons each
! by the Bethlehem and Carnegie com
| panieS. has been the subject of some
| comment before the house committee
on naval affairs during the hearing
now going on relative to the naval ap-
preparation bill. Rear Admiral O'Neil.
! chief of the bureau of ordnance of
the navy department. has stated that
evidently there was II combination or
understanding between the Carnegie
and bethlehem companies, as their bids
We're the same.
Wants Government Armor shop.
Captain Pendleton. commandant Of
the Washington navy yard. i'll argu-
ing for a S40OO.OOO appropriation 10 en-
large the gunShOpS of the Washington
ward. declared that the government
could save SG00.OOO on the G.GuO tons
of armOr which the MidVale people
were to make. This WAS given as an
illustration of what might be saved
in gun construction by allowing the
increased facilities in the government $
factory Captain Pendieton stated that
the Carnegie and Bethlehem companies
had made money enough during the
first five years they We're enga ged i'll
the manufacture of armor for the gov
ernn.ent TO pay for their plants. He
also asserted that in the manufacture
of guns the government could produce
for s.. .OOO.OOO what ii would have to
pay s.. 800. .OUU for under contract.
Manufacturerers Assume IA Risk.
1t was brought out that the MidVale
people assumed the risk of having to
pay royalty on the armOr they are to
make for the government. Admiral
O'Neil said the first east of armOr by
this company was to have been made
Thursday The contract for the 16,-
coo j. for sufficient armor to equip
all the ships now authorized for the
navy. and is to he delivered as needed
during the next five or six years. The
appropriation TO I've made in the pend
ing bill is for only Il portion of the
cost of this amount. and = To he made
in Il lump sum.
Committee Seems Indifferent.
While some members of the naval
committee anticipate Il possible delay
due to litigation over the royalty quCs-
ton rcgardin" the Midvale contract
no disposition is Indicated to criticiSe
the contracts as awarded. The queS-
ton of ii government armOr factory
has been alluded to, but nothing like

SLOW TO RECOVER

of the Holiday Dull
ness.
ACCORDING TO DUN S REVIEW
Some Features of Situation are Be-
coming More Satisfactory,
However.

New York, Jan. 9.--R. G. Dun X
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Retail trade has been somewhat slow
TO recover from holiday dullnesS. paIt-
ly because of the bad weather which
also retarded collections to some CX-
tent Traffic was impeded and ship
mcntS of merchaniSed delayed. On the
other hand low temperature stimulated
the demand for SeaSOnable goods and
burdenSome stocks in the hands of
dealers were reduced. Mills and fac
tories report irregular conditions. sOme
industries opening the New Year un-
der very favorable auspices. while 9th
er branches are extremely quiet.
Poor Demand for Manufactures
In tine leading manufacturing Iuuus-
fry the year opens with quiet cOndi-
tionS as to demand. but much irregu-
larity in the matter of wages. NiO-

The telegram sent by the Democratic
convention to Parker begins with the de-
liberate falsehood that 1.-THE platform

because it Is not regarded by us as q
possible issue In this campaign" says the
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat. The truth IS
that IN a tight lasting many hours the
committee on resolutions rejected the
gold standard by a vote of 25 to Is. They
decided to omit a financial plank after a
discussion of all that were offered. The
platform is silent In that respect because
Bryan would have offered a minority re
port on the convention floor If a gold
plank had been adopted. But as the com
mittee. after a long struggle, rejected the
gold plank by IS to IS. how could the
writer's of that lying telegram have the
impudence to claim that the platform IS
silent on the question of the monetary
standard because not regarded as an is
sue? The issue was lodged by the ST.
lence. The barefaced mendacity of the
telegram to Parker is astounding.

tiles of that convention 1t is difficult to
see why the latter should be excluded
from that state. 1t gives us a pain to

pARKERiTE TRUST BUSTERS

When the advocates of tire St. Louis
platform and candidate point with
pride to the antitrust plano and I'D
It up as the policy of the party 1t is only
fair to inquire Who are the sponseos for
that policy.
We know who did the work in the con
~vention, but who were the powers behiAd
them?
Let us mention a few of them. First.
August Belmont, trust promoter and mo-
nopolist, who heads the Parker combine.
Next, and a very good second. Carl Mey-
er, Jr., of the sugar trust and chairman
of the New York Democratic state corr
mittee. Third, Patrick H. McCarrsn,
general corporation agent and representa-
tive in legislation, on the pay roll of
the Standard Oil company and chairman
of the New York executive committee.
These are the trust busters of the rar-
ker Democracy. Take a good. square
look at them and then compare them
with the trust plank of the St. Louis
platform to get at It's real meaning.

Who were those statesmen and leaders?
Necessarily they were Republicans; for
the Democrats were in a minority and 1t
was impossible for a Democrat to be a
leader where the majority was against
him.
1t is clear that whatever politics there
were In this measure were Republican
politics. and that President Roosevelt was
the one to whom the house listened. and
to him only, in passing this bill. Ii
