HITS STEEL co. HEAD
SECRETARY DANIELS DECLARES
ScHWAB is NO PATRIOT.
Asserts Not One in Eleven Shells Made
by Bethlehem Company Is
Acceptable.

Washington, Jan. %. - Sweeping
charges of inefficiency, lack of patriot
ism and attempt 10 hold up the gov
ernment were made against American
munition manufacturers by Secretary
Daniels on Sunday.
Charles NJ. Schwab and the Bethle-
hem Steel company are mentioned
specifically In the secretary's state
ment. Figures are given showing that
less than 8 per cent Of lot of IL
inch shells submitted by the Bethle-
hem company were acceptable to the
naval examiners. On the other hand,
all the shells submitted by Hadfelds,
Limited, the English concern, to which
large contract has just been award
ed, met the American requirements.
Secretary Daniels says he would not
make these figures public did he not
believe the facts were already known
abroad.
After praising some of the manu-
facturers for willingness to assume
their share in the program of prepar-
edness, Mr.. Daniels says:
"That other large manufacturers of
war material should persist In ex-
tracing the last penny of profit from
our urgent necessity gives a certain
color to the arguments of those who
believe that preparedness is synonym
for profits and not patriotism"
