Illinois at the convention of the United

Tavenner Gets His War
Munitions Provision in
Fortifications Bill.
FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
Initial Step towards Making
Local Government Plant One :.
of Largest in World.
Especial to The Argus.)

tSpeclal TO Tne ArSuS.)
Washington, d. c., Jan. 30-The
Notifications appropriation bilh passed
the house yesterday carrying for the
first time in its history provision that
not exceeding 10 per cent of sums ap-
propriated shall be used to purchase
munitions of war from outside manu-
facturers. The report accompanying
the bill advocates a new policy of
complete arsenal manufacture" This
is the principle for which Representa-
tive Tavenner has been oontending.
Representative Shirley, in charge of
the bill, declared Rock Island offers the
best advantages for the increased
manufacture of munitions of war, be-
cause of it's advantages of cheap power
and opportunity for expansion.
First Effective Step.
Representative Tavenner, comment
ing on the bill, said: "The first step
towards making Rock Island arsenal
one of the largest in the world has
been taken. But only the first step.
The principle of government manufac-
ture has been not only endorsed by
congress, but the principle has been
written into legislation and it will
never come out. After existing con-
tracts with private manufacturers have
expired, and complete arsenal manu-
facture policy is in full operation, Rock
Island will come into it's own. Under
complete arsenal manufacture policy,
it is destined, ultimately, to become
one of the largest arsenals in the
world, just as surely as water runs or
grass grows.
However, the fight is not won by
any means. Carrying out of the law
will still be in the hands of army Of
fcers hostile to complete arsenal man.

on the job if it is to get the big things

Washington, D. c., Jan. 30.-The ar
senal at Rock Island, ILL.,, will be en-.
larged and many more men employed
if the senate approves the provision
for increased government manufacture
of munitions of war included in the
fortifications appropriation bill passed
by the house last night.
Representative Tavenner of Illinois
succeeded in having incorporated in
the bill an amendment providing that
80 per cent of the Notifications muni-
tions should be manufactured in gov
ernment arsenals. He will endeavor
to have the same provision included in
the army appropriation bill.
General Crozier estimates that the
government could save 35 per cent of
the cost of all munitions, amounting TO
more than 100000, by having them
made in the arsenals instead of by
private contractors.

GOVT IS TOSUE
SMELLING TRUST
PIainfieId Man, on Executive
Committee, Might Be Called
in Dissolution Suit.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80. - After
months of quiet investigation the de-
partment of justice has concluded that
it has sufficient grounds for suit to
dissolve, under the Sherman anti
trust act, the American Smelling
and Refining Company, the so-called
smelling trust. 1t is not probable
that suit will be filed Immediately,
but 1t is understood that the prepara-
lions have gone so far that bill in
equity is being drawn by department
attorneys.
1t has become known that F. W.
of the United States, has been re-
tanned by the so-called trust, and 1t
Is possible that he will confer with
the attorney-general before the de-
partment files suit. Mr.. McReynolds
said yesterday that he had no en-
gagement with Mr.. Lehman to talk
over the case.
Suit against the smelling trust" is
regarded here as of great Importance,
ranked only by the Standard Oil and
the Steel Corporation suits. This view
obtains not only because the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining and the
American Shelters Securities Com
pany, which it controls, have COM
bined authorized capital of nearly
$3.50, 900, 900, but because of the varied
activities of the two concerns. The
parent company has a perpetual char
ter under the laws of New Jersey,
and deals in bar gold and silver, pig
lead, copper and blue vitriol. 1t owns
about twelve smelters and two ref1n-
cries. In the corporation manual for
1913 its smelling capacity Is given at
100000 tons per annum and its re-
fining capacity at AGO, 900 tons. Through
the Securities Company its smelling
capacity is increased by 2650,000 tons
and its refining capacity by 10000
tons. 1t directly operates many mines
in Mexico, owns the capital stock of
the United States Zinc Company at
Pueblo, Colo, the Carbon Coal and
Coke Company of Colorado and the
stock of the American Shelters
Steamship Company, which operates
steamers between American and Mex
lean ports, and is interested in other
activities.
The officers of the refining company
include Daniel Guggenheim, presi-
dent; Barton Sewell, vice-president;
Edward Brush, vice-president; w. e.
Merriss, secretary, and Isaac Guggen-
heln, treasurer. On the executive
committee are: S. r. Guggenheim,
Edward Brush, S. w. Eccles, Karl
Eilers, Daniel Guggenheim, hurry

MACEDONIAN, w. S. Morse, e. L. New
house, H A Prosser, Barton Sewell,
Simon Guggenheim, of New York;
Judd Stewart, Plainfield, N. J., and
Joseph C1endenin, Baltimore.
The American Shelters Securities
Company owns or controls more than
a dozen copper and lead mines in the
United States and Mexico. In 1905
more than half of its $50, 1000, 900 capital
stock was acquired by the refining
company, and about five years later
the remainder was taken up by that
same company. Membership of its
executive committee largely comedies
with that of the refining company.
