where we have the whole world as
customers instead of depending on a
one no-policy customer.
I'm conclusion, I should like to make
three observations:
First. There is more than sufficient
producing capacity in the existing
armor plate plants to meet the needs
of the United States government.
Second. That representative of
the Navy Department has said that
there is but one object in view in
building a government plant, and that
is to obtain a satisfactory price.
Third. That in quoting> price of
s395 per ton for armor plate, such
price should be satisfac Glory one If
this government proposes to deal fair
ly with the present armor plate max
ers."

President Asserts.
LIABLE TO DRIVE PRIVATE
FACTORIES TO THE WALL
E. G. Grace Presents Argument
Against Iillman Bill to Senate
Naval Affairs Committee.

Building of government plant for
the manufacture of armor plate would
destroy the strongest asset of the nation
in event that it should be called upon to
battle for existence. according to testi-
mony given by f. G. Grace, president OF
the Bethlehem Steel Company, at hear
ing before the Senate committee on naval
affairs yesterday afternoon.
The hearing was on Senator T1llman's
bill to construct such plant Mr.. Grace
commended that the committee had stated
its only purpose in the erection Of a fed
eral plant to get satisfactory price. He
said that his company has submitted a
contract price for the five-year program
which is lower than the average selling
price during the twenty nine years his
company has been dealing with the gov
eminent. and much lower than the gov
eminent could hope to manufacture for.
Mr.. Grace declared that If the armor
plate and other munition manufacturers
are to be subjected to frequent threats
of this sort to drive them out of business
they should more profitably retire and
make their investments in safer lines
where they could have the whole world
for customers

Data on Cost of Plant.

I'VE have submitted data on the
plate plant and the cost of making
armor in such plant. 1t is shown that
operating the plant as we have been
required to over the life of the in
dustry we have not received sufficient
compensation to make the industry a
profitable one, but would have been
far better off If we had invested the
same amount of money in a good 4
per cent bond, where the interest and
principal would have been secure with
out risk or effort on our part"
Mr.. Grace here submitted a formal
proposition to the Secretary of the
Navy, Offering to ''manufacture one
third or more of the armor plate re-
auired for the contemplated five-year
naval program ESTIMATED at approx
mately 10000 tons), for 1895 per ton
Tor side armor, as compared with S425
per ton now obtaining; similar re-
auctions to be made in other classes
He said this low price was prompted
by the desire to meet the committee s
views as to a satisfactory price for
armor and to make it unnecessary to
credit government facilities for this
WORK, and thus save to the manufac-
turing interests the large investment
already made.
IN reducing the price of armor by
$50 ton" said Mr.. Grace. I'VE have
acted on the understanding that the
present proposed five-year naval pro-
gram becomes effective. On this ba sis
we couid expect return of IN per
cent. applicable to depreciation and
prohts. II our company did not have

Mr.. Grace's Argument.

In his argument before the committee,
Mr.. Grace said, in part:
I'VE have brought to your attention the
total business of our company with the
United States government since beginning
the manufacture of armor plate in 1887
the record of selling price and tonnages
throughout the twenty-nine years. We
have furnished similar information on all
armor plate contracts we have had with
foreign governments. These facts show
We have at all times dealt fairly with the
United States government
Our selling price today is lower than
the average selling price throughout the
twenty-nine years we have been serving
the government, and materially lower
than prices in England, France, Germany,
Japan or Austria.
The general tendency in the industry
has been to higher manufacturing costs,
on account of the gradually increasing Sc
verify of specifications and the higher
cost of materials and labor. Not only
have the rates of pay to labor increased,
but the eight-hour. law necessitated the
employment of 90 per cent additional

Says Estimates Are Inadequate.

we are sure, from our long experience
in the business. that neither the 10. 900
ton or 20000-ton plant. as estimated on
by the Tillman committee. can be built
at this time for anything like the figures
they have submitted Our own plant at
Bethlehem. as it stands today, inyen
tories more than 81. 900. 900. A great deal
OF this plant has been built without paw
ing profit to contra and could not be
replaced for s7,000.000.
I'm a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS plant armor
cannot be made, even by running the
plant fun. for s2S2 a ton. as rep1fted by
the TiIlman committee. There are costs
incident to the making Of armor plate
which this report has not reflected. There
will be long period Of experimentation
and coordination OF operations before
anything like a representative cost can be
reached. Arnor made in the government
operated plant of Japan costs $3.50 a
ton, and this with all labor rates con-
siderably lower than corresponding
la Dor in this country.
