Explanation Of the Prices Made by ar
English Firm Which Bids Under Al
American Manufacturers.
Speaking recently before the Terra
pin Club Of Philadelphia, Eugene G
Grace, President OF the Bethlehem
Steel Company, said In part:
In a peculiar sense Bethlehem Steel
serves the American people.
For example, though we have been
able to obtain in Europe almost any
price, we have adhered, in our charges
to ire United States Government, to
the basis of prices established before
the war began.
We agreed--if the Government would
abandon Its plans for Federal plant
to make armor for our Navy at any
nrioe the Government Itself might con
cider fair.
Our ordnance plants are at the dis.
posal OF the nation at fair operating
cost, plus small margin, thus saving
tho Government Investment aud de-
probation.
One Of the special needs OF the new
navy Is sixteen-inch guns-guns sixty
feet long and capable Of hurtling a
1000 pound shell with such power and
accuracy as to hit so foot square tnr-
get fifteen miles away.
We have undertaken voluntarily to
construct, at a cost Of Si,500O00, q
plant fitted to build sixteen-inch guns.
Under no conceivable circumstances
can orders which we may receive for
this plant pay even q fair return on
the investment.
Considera BILE comment has been made
upon the fact that a British manufac.
turer recently bid less than American
manufacturers for sixteen and four.
tsen-inch shells for the navy.
/ am unable to state the basis upon
which the English bid was made. IL
should be remembered, however that
this bid was for a specific shell, sam.
pies Of which are being sent over for
test-a test not yet made.
Two years ago we took an order for
300 fourteen-inch armor-piercing shells
at q contract price of S70s.000. to lie
delivered within certain time or We
had to pay large penalty.
The only specifications. for making
these shells are that they shall be
Of Z certain size and must pierce
armor.plate ut certain velocity on i'm.
pact. II Is impossible to foretell the
exact conditions Of the tests.
We had made large quantities OF shells
In the past which had been accepted.
But In placing this particular order the
Department altered the angle at which
the tested shells must pierce armor
plate. The result, however, has been
absolute inability on our part to pro-
duce In any quantity. shells which will
meet these novel tests. In fact. we
know OF no process OF projectile-mak.
Ing through which II Is possible to pro.
duce In quantities shells which will
conform to the requirements.
The result is that up to now on that
contract of $76S. 900. we have put into
actual operating expense SAT ISL. and

Such 80 the perience In the light
'i'b we were called upon recent
l., co.. FOR sixteen-Inch shells.
We bid on these shells at approx.
mately the same rate per pound as
that Of fourteen-inch shell contract
of one year ago upon which the Gov.
ernment awarded contracts.
We have not the slightest idea what
profit there will be in the making Of
these shells We do not know that
there win be any There IL no certain.
ty that 1t would be possible for us to
deliver a shell to meet the test.
For officers In the Navy to assume
that any bid made under such condl
lions is "eXorbitant" is utterly unfair
We bid on the new battle-cruisers
sums which Navy department experts.
after examination Of our books, found
would yield a profit OF less than ten
per cent. we agreed to assume risks
for increased costs OF materials and Ia
Dor that made 1t possible that these
contracts might yield no profit what
ever
The costs run beyond the amount ap
propriated by Congress on the basis OF
the cost estimates made a year ago.
And because shipbuilders could not
alter the memorable cost facts and re
duce bids to early estimates Of the
Navy Department, the prices are called
"exorbitant"
1t would be real advantage to be
relieved OF this naval construction. The
profit from 1t cannot possibly amount
10 much. and the responsibility is enor

we have determined to make this
offer to the American Government.

cruisers In Government navy yards
we will build the other two at the as.

tional expense or commissions of any
kind. We wiz also contract to have

STOPPING THE FIRE LOSS.

ElRE prevention day was observed 1ucsda,. II was
%forty.siN years ago that Chicago wa, nearly wiped off
the map Since that time, oct. q, 1871, a good deal OF
progress has been made IN constructing buildings that will
not burn. Yet We do use %nflammablc materials to erect
structures, with the result that some hundreds Of millions
OF dollars worth Of property goes mp in smoke each year
Our state corporation commission has taken a hand in
the matter Of fire prevention. The action Of that body Is
important when a designation IS made that brick instead
OF wood must be used IN the construction OF a railway
depot
The Rock Island company proposed to build a frame
depot at Walter. but the state corporation commission
ISSUED an order TO the effect that wooden construction
would no, he permitted. So the railway company appealed
to the Oklahoma supreme court. where tho action OF the
corporation commission was sustained There will, there
fore, be no ntlammahlc depot at Walter
Oklahoma City ha, regulations which prohibit the cree
ton Of frame buildings in certain sections, known as the
fire limits. The object IS to make a part OF the CITY proof
against conilasrations. When advisable, It will be well
to extend these city fire limits, so that the entire area Of
Oklahoma CITY shall he made iircproof
Most OF the fire losses can hc prevented But not until
wc learn to build with the material, winch will not burn
II We will take a look at Mexico and cuba. nations that
are said to be far behind the times, and about two hundred
years IN the rear OF the United States IN Development, We
viii learn that those countries build their houses Of stone
or mud or tilc-matcrials that do not burn In our own
country we use fIimsy stuff that will he consumed in about
thirty minutes.
So the work Of the Oklahoma corporation commission
takes on new significance when that commission iorhtds
the erection OF wooden depotS. 1t is a step toward proven
ton of loss by fire. MAY the commission continue 1t, con
'ervation movement until the job Of a fireman will consist
of reading The baseball scores and fire hose is viewed as a
