SCHWAB settles DISPUTE
over SHELLS FOR RUSSIA

The dispute between the Bethlehem
Steel Company and the British gov
eminent over a she'll contract with
Russia, said to amount to more than
$5O,OOOOO0, has been settled satisfac-
torily, 1t was announced yesterday by
Charles NJ. Schwab, and shipments will
continue uninterruptedly.
II was reported in Wall Street last
month that Great Britain. which is
financing Russias purchase Of the big
munition supply, has been holding up
payments on shells aggregating more
than Sl0000,000 in value. Up to that
time the steel company had delivered
about 100000 shellss The shells were
accepted and passed by the inspectors,
but payments are said to have been re-
fused because of a disagreement over
the time Of delivery.
Mr.. Schwab said last night that this
was the only point of difference iE-
yolyed and that there had been no
question as TO the quality Of the mu-
nitions delivered. The Bethlehem
company, as the situation was ex-
planned, has been compelled several
/ times TO ask for extension Of time.
Some Of the Russian shells are being
loaded at the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany's plant, at New Castle, and fuses
for Russian shells are being made at
the Artillery Fuse Company's plant, IN
this city.
