Recently Senator Illlman introduced bill in the u S.
Senate to provide for $1 100000
plate plant Straghtway and forthwith Senator Penrose
republican leader big interests
vocng their plants made speech mouthpece of the
plate manufacturers boldly asserting that the
ment took step in the nature suggested by Senator man
BILL the manufacturers of plate would Immediately add
$500 ton to the price of their product eventually dis
mantle their plants.
Now the interesting of the whole matter is that
Uncle Sam has been paying average price $439 for his
armor for battle ships 1t is estimated that the
can make its federal owned factories for $500
per ton Secretary Daniels placing the estimate at 1862 per
ton At $500 there would be saving over the
fore the could equip it's factory IF the factory
was IN operation could $39O0000 After that time the
saving would amount up in the hundreds of millions.
Now the threat Of the plate manufacturers is to
BOOST the price 500 the price, That
on to the $139OOOOO Uncle Sam could save the steel in
through this mouthpece Senator Penrose thew have nso
renee 10 argue that such would greater than the
cost OF government constructed plant and Uncle
Sam would lose If he follows the proposed course
lhere are many interesting facts be cleaned on inves
CATION for the casual reader For example American manufc
urers sell Japan $500 per ton than to the
united States And sales to other foreign have been
at corresponding reductions
The threat the spokesman-that Infamous Republican
leader Senator Penroea suggest the good Republican
