Washington.-A bill for govern
ment armor plate factory was ap-
proved by the Senate naval committee
within few minutes after manufac-
turers had served notice that should
such a plant be established the price
charged the government for armor
made by private concerns would be
increased nearly one-half
An appropriation of $11,000,000 is
carried by the bill for purchase or con
structior of government factory
with an annual output of not less than
10000 tons.
That is little more than would be
required for two fir5t-class battle
ships, and would leave large part
of the armor needed in the navy's in
creased building program to come
from private plants.
The threat of the private manufac-
turers was communicated to the COM
mittee by Senator Penrose, who said
the Bethlehem and Midvale com
panies were among those that had
agreed to an increase of 5000 ton
If the government factory proposal
went through. The Navy Department
now pays about $425.
Senator Tillman, chairman of the
committee, and author of the bill, told
Mr.. Penrose that the threat of the
armor barons" could not prevent pas
sage of the measure
II guess we can find way to STOP
the robbers" he added. ''In time OF
trouble we could seize their plants and
operate them by right OF eminent do
main."
The proposal for government plant
has the backing of Secretary Daniels
and Senator Tillman will press his bill
for early passage. The military com
mittee closed its hearings.

Mary?
God could not be everywhere;
therefore, He made mothers" reads {

The high place given to mother in

"A mothers love is infinite. No one
