governmental officers conducting the

Differ Widely on Cost
of Armor Plate Plants

Washington. Jan. 2S.-Widely differ
ent estimates Of the cost OF building
an armor plate plant and making armor
were presented TO the Senate Naval
Committee to-day BY naval officers and
representatives of private manufactur-
ers. The committee is considering
Chairman Tillmans bill for the estab-
lishment of government factory.
Rear Admiral Strauss, chief Of the
navy ordnance bureau. estimated that
it would cost sll.OOO.0O0 to build an
armor plant producing 10000 tons a
year. A. c. Dinkey. president Of the
Nidvale Steel and Ordnance Company.
testified that it would cost that much
to build a lO,000-ton plant.
Rear Admiral Strauss said he had
figu. I'd that the manufacturing cost OF
the yovernment-produced armor would
be 1862 a ton. +. q. Grace, president Of
the Bethlehem Steel Company, insisted
that this was too low. and did not in
clude allowances for depreciation.
Mr.. Dinkcy said the armor his plant
was turning out for the battleship
PENNSYLVANIA was costing S3il a ton.
He estimated il would take the govern
ment four years 10 build an armor
plant, and Rear Admiral Strauss said
il would require more than three years.
Senator Tillman said that the new
head OF the bureau Of yards and docks
had reported that if the red tape Of
the Navy Department was cut he could
build the plant in year and a half.

James II. Cassidy, brother Of "Cur-

sons. John and Joseph Cassidy, Michael
J. Lyons, Alexander Lawson, Alexander
Morris and Eugene Denning.
Nearly all Of them had received a
telegram from the Queens leader say
