President Aids DuPonts

The interesting situation has been pre-
sented OF President Roosevelt iislstihg
that Congress shall so change the naval
appropriation bill, now in conference,
as to make it possible for the government
to purchase smokeless powder from the
powder trust, meaning the DUPONT Pow
der Company, which is now being pros
ecuted as a combination in restraint OF
trade.
The naval bill as it passed the House
provided that smokeless powder should
not be purchased from the powder trust
except in case of emergency. fowuer
touched off a lot of fiery speeches when
the naval bill reached the Senate. The
Senate amended the bill SO as to make 1t
| impossible for the government to make
purchases OF powder from the trust ex-
cept in time Of war.
President Roosevelt insists that If this
provision is enacted the navy will be UNI
able to get enough powder in the next
fiscal year to fire salutes. At the present
time the trust manufactures two thirds
OF the smokeles powder produced In this
country. The remaining one-third is
made at the government factory at Indian
Head, Md.
Mills MAY MAKE DYNAMITE.
AS a result of the limitation upon
powder purchases imposed by the naval
bill the trust has given notice that two
OF it's four smokeless powder factories
are about to go out of commission. They
will be CONVEX ted into mills for the max
ing of dynamite.
1t is commended by the President that
it would be exceedingly unwise for Con-
gress to prohibit purchases OF powder
from the trust, in view of the fact that
the Government will be unable for a long
time to make enough powder to meet its
demands, and that a dangerous situation
might result, with a law such as is pro-
posed, in case Of war. Ii the Navy De-
pertinent is prohibited from purchasing
from the trust, except in time OF war,
the combination will, it is stated, carry
out its determination to cut down its
output.
The President is at present in COM
munication with members of the Naval
committees Of the Senate and House
relative to the powder provision OF the
naval bill. 1t is understood that he has
written Chairman Foss of the House
Naval Committee, strongly urging that
no limitation be placed upon the pur-
chase of smokeless powder by the Gov
eminent.
