STEEL MEN TO AID
WARSH||P BUILDING
Big Plants Ready to Cooperate
In Construction in Govern
ment Yards.

Information has reached Washing
ton that the big steel companies win
cooperate with the Navy Department
in the matter of Government con-
struction of the two new super
dreadnaughts which are soon to be
built.
The steel companies. instead of
baking and refusing to furnish ma
terial In n reasonable time, will not
place any obstacles in the way OF
Government construction. They will
furnish the Government the steel and
will do so without needless delay.
Although no official announcement
has yet been made by Secretary Dan
lels of the fact that he is assured the
Navy Department can get the steel
from the steel companies. the infor-
nation was obtained here today that
these companies will provide 1t.
The Midvale, Bethlehem. Carnegie
and other plants stand ready to sell
steel to the Government. This means
that 1t will be feasible and practicable
for the Government to build the super
dreadnaughts in its own yards.
Officials OF leading steel companies
instead of seeking to embarrass tho
Government, have sent word to thu
Navy Department promising co-opera'
ton.
When bids were opened on the two
superdreadnaugnts recently the private
concerns were found to have put theii
figures above the legal limit. There
