DANIELS REJECTS BIDS.
Feels Confident That Congress VIII
Back Up His Decision.

Washington, Sept. 16.-Wth more
than half a million dollars already
saved to the government through COM
petition on contracts for material for
battleship No. 80, Secretary Daniels
announced tonight that he had noti-
fed the Midvale Carnegie and Beth
lehem Steel companies that he would
not accept either of their recently sub
mitted identical bids for heavy armor
plate for this vessel unless they could
show him cost of production figures|
to justify their prices.
II feel sure that Congress will not|
fail to back up the department in|
whatever steps seem best to obtain
armor al just price, the secretary
said
The three companies named have the|
only plants in this country capable of
turning out the heaviest grade OF armorI
plate. Mr.. Danicls's solution Of the|
problem is the establishment of a gov-|
eminent armor factory. and he had been|
urging this step upon Congress ever|
since he became head Of the navy de-
partment and found that the practice
had been to receive identical bids from|
the three companies and divide the conf
tracts between them.
