STEEL PLATE NAvAL CoNTRACTs.

STEEL EBAIE NAV Al NONIHAtIs.
Secretary of the Navy Josephus Dan
iels has made a contract with the Car
bon Steel company Of Pittsburgh for
$500 tons of special treatment steel
plates for S1S7.04 ton. The only
other bidder was the Carnegie Steel
company which asked S22leS ton.
BY awarding the contract 10 the lowest
bidder Secretary Daniels has saved
the government $13G,5O0 on this one
contract and he is confident that com
petition in armor plate has been re-
stored. II seems TO have been for the
prescn', but how long will competition
continue? There was competition be
tween the Carnegie Steel company and
the Bethlehem Steel company and the
Midvale steel company some years
ago. but after little time these com
panies 60; together and since then
their bids have been practically uni
form
Secretary Daniels believes that these
companies had a "Gentlemens agree
ment" TO keep up the price Of armor
plate, and certainly the uniformity OF
their bids for years past gives ground
for such belief. Whether Mr. Daniels
has abandoned his plan to urge con-
Press TO make an appropriation tor
building a government steel plant or
not, he does not state, but many be
lieve he should continue 20 plead for
a government plant in order to insure
competition. II bids for armor plate
were not within reason, the govern.
ment could make its own armor plates
Il IL had a plant The Carbon Steel
company may he independent now
but experience has shown that in the
past companies that we're at first RI
walls have Joined issues 10 make the
government pay whatever price they
see fl to ask for armor plates, and il
is feared that the Carbon Seel com
rany may later be persuaded to enter
into a "sentlemens agreement
In President Clevelands admlnistra
ton, Secretary of the Navy Heroert
declared. just as Secretary Daniels re
Gently expressed his own convictions
that there vas only one way TO pre-
serve real competition in bids Tor ar
NOR plate. and that was for the gov
eminent TO build a plant Of its own
not large enough to make all the ar
NOR pla'e needed, but large enough 81
that the government would not JS
compelled to accept bids that were
exorbitant.

Rok Island in few days will dedi-
cate a new Y. NJ. c. A. building such
as the local brethren propose for our
own city. A few years ago Moline
put up a Y. M. c. A. building with
90 rooms, a swimming pool, modern
gymnasium, etc, and that meant that
Rock Island could not rest until she
had matched it and added 10 rooms
By way of insinuating her superiority
to her hated and really more prosper
GUS rival Moline meanwhile has set
her neighbor another example for
emulation by accepting plans for a
100000 hotel on which work begins
next spring. At present also the fac
tory town, having just capitalized a
building and loan association by popu,
lar subscription, is raising 100000
for Augustana hospital by the same
means.
Meanwhile Davenport has accepted
plans for another fire-proof hotel OF
magnificent proportions to he built
next year and is renewing subscrip
tons for three years to the industrial
fund of the Greater Davenport com
mittee.
The basis of all this activity is in
dustrial development, This may be
said to have had its start in the fed
