GREAT ARMOR SHOP
MAY BE BUILT HERE
Bill for $11,000,000 Plant to Be
introduced Today by
Senator Tillman

WASHINGTON, Dec 10-As the first
step in the Administrations national de-
fense program Senator Tillman, chair
man of the Senate Committee on Naval
Affairs, will introduce bill today pro-
viding for the erection of a Government
almor-plate plant TO cost $1,000 600. The
bill will have the approval of Secretary
of the Navy Daniels. and 1t will be used
either as n club to force the armor maxi
ers to quote lower prices or be enacted
into law.
II hope that this plant will be located
in Philadelphia" said Senator Tillman.
THE Investigations of our special com
mittee showed that the plant could be
built there cheaper than elsewhere. Phil
adelphia has the advantages of loca tiOn.
cheap materials and skilled labor. Then,
too, IL we were to build the armor plant
there we would save the estimated cost
of $4,000 for site. In Philadelphia there
Is sufficient ground for such a plant at
League Island"
Mr.. Tillman explained that the special
committee had expressed a preference for
Philadelphia in it's report, and recon-
mendcd that Si0,331, 1906 be expended for a
plant which could produce 2O,0JO tons am
nually. Since that time the cost of ma
torials has increased, and Senator Tillman
has suggested that the cost be $ll, ,00o.OOO
Last year Il commission consisting of
Senator Tillman, Representative Padgett,
chairman of the House Naval Committee,
and Rear ADMIRAL Joseph Strauss, chief
of the Bureau Of Ordnance. was appointed
to make an investigation of the cost of
producing armor plate and report to Con
Eress upon the feasibility OF establishing
n Government plant There are only
three concerns in the country which make
battleship armor. the Carnegie steel Com
pany. at Pittsburgh; the Bethlehem Steel
Company. of Bethlehem, Pa. and the
Midvale steel Company, of Philadelphia.
The commission reported that 1t believed
IN 2OOOO-ton plant armor could be pro-
duced for s23i per ton. In view of the
fact that the lowest bid submitted on the
latest lot of nrmor wanted by the navy,
opened on November II. was si25 per ton
for class Al and s4s6 for class Az, the
prices estimated for a Government plant
sound attractive.
