able to seek a lower level. He says
the weather is mild, although the old

BethIehem's Bid on Shells
for the United States Navy

To the American People:
The Secretary of the Navy has awarded
contracts amounting to over $3,O0O,O 600
to q British bidder for Ia and l6-inch
projectiles for the Navy because of very
much lower prices offered by the English
bidders.
Weknow nothing of the basis upon which
the British bids were made, but the pub
tic is entitled TO know the facts upon
which we ourselves bid for this work.
Two years ago we took contracts
to make 1900 l4-inch shells at a
price of $1,5l5,O0 Up to now
not a single shell has been ac-
cepted by the Government, al
though we have expended, in
wages, materials, ETC., on these
orders 1922, 1881, and we have not
received SINGLE DOLLAR on
these contracts.
In addition literal Interpretation Of
the contract might make liable foe
penalties amounting to $678,0l6
In the light of our experience, and hav-
ing no other basis, we bid for l6-inch
shells approximately the same rate per
pound as that which the Navy Depart
ment actually awarded l4-inch shell
contract one year ago.
