Iowa Senator Scores House Pro
vision Regarding Purchase
of Powder
SHOULD TABOO THE TRUST
Navy Under This Provision Would Buy
All Powder From Monopoly Except
for Loading Shells - Burning Pow
der Now at Furious and Unprece-
dented Rate y

Washington, Feb. 16.--The house
provision in the naval bill that no
part of the appropriation for powder
should be paid to any trust or mon
opoly. except in the event of an
emergency" was the subject of con-
siderable criticism in the senate yes
terday.
That 1t was for the purpose Of hood
winking the public and would not real
ly affect the purchase of powder to
any appreciable extent was charged
by eSrator Cummins.
He said he understood the navy
department under this provision would
buy from others except the trust only
powder for loading shells, and such
powder, compared with all the powder
used by the government he said, was
so small as to be almost negligible. He
charged the houses with an intention
of deceiving.
IF that be true" Mr.. Cummins said,
1--WE have here a bill which has been
heralded to the world as one which
prohibits the United States from buy
ing powder from combinations in re-
straint of trade. while In fact 1t con-
tains no substantial limitation what
ever"
Mr.. Hale said that Of 100000
pounds used annually, about one-third
was made by the government. the re-
mainder being purchased. He thought
it was wise to build up factories for
the manufacture of powder by private
firms in different parts of the country
as welfas at the government shop.
Mr.. E[ale; pointed to the lower price
for powder fixed by the, bill, being "a
cents a pound compared with 50 cents
a pound last year. Mr.. Hale said the
navy was now burning up powder IN
quantities that In the past would have
been considered sufficient for a year.
